Jimmy de Ville

Three eccentric mechanics, Jimmy de Ville, Ant Partridge and Helen Stanley, are on a mission to bring the once Great British engineering company, Goblin, back to life. Together they restore some of the world's best known cars and bikes, using artisan skill to create wacky and daring designs.

Putting together stunning visual and performance mods based on their one-of-a-kind Goblin style, they treat deserving owners – from trainee vicars to NHS First Responders – to a major mod transformation, turning their cars into one-off personalised rides. Working with a different client each episode, and just five days and a tight budget to transform each car, the crew tackle everything from wheels and suspension set-ups to vinyl wraps and full body kits. Using their contacts in the custom world they’ll also track down the best workshops and local artisans to realise their clients’ customised designs with a Goblin twist.

Jimmy Doherty meets builders who are turning everyday vehicles into campervans. He lends a hand to these ambitious projects and gets inspiration for his own dream build.
