Ant’s got the summer off and a baby due in 12 weeks. Rather than put his feet up or paint the nursery, he decides to fulfill a childhood fantasy… to own a 1950s Alfa 158. Unfortunately, this would set him back around $20 million to buy… so he’s going to build one himself from the ground up! In this intimate piece of storytelling, Ant opens up about his life and motivations as well as the good, bad and ugly of building a car from scratch.
