For the Love of Cars is a one-hour automotive show first broadcast in 2014 on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.
The show is presented by actor and car enthusiast Philip Glenister with designer and restoration expert Ant Anstead.
This is followed by Anstead attempting to locate one of these cars, typically through a barn find, to restore.
Phil takes the lead in guiding Ant as to how he would like the restored project to look, but often has his mind changed through discussions with enthusiasts at events.
Once the car is restored and placed on auction, all proceeds go to the previous owner for charitable purposes.
