Biggest 涙／ほころび jerker yet: Fans of 復古／返還 show Car SOS should buckle up for the most emotional episode in a １０年間 as the team 取り組む their biggest 仕事 of making this 1994 Vauxhall suitable for its owner

The 10th season of Car SOS started 支援する in March and its penultimate episode will 空気／公表する Thursday (5 May) night on 国家の Geographic at 8pm.

It features a 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4X4 that has been static on Darren's driveway in Stockport since his life-changing 事故 and 文書s the presenters' incredibly 堅い 決定／判定勝ち（する） to either keep the car 初めの or tailor it to its owner's needs.

The self-professed 石油 長，率いる bought the British 最高の saloon in 2007, having realised a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 dream to own an example of the high-業績／成果 car with its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, which (when new) produced 204bhp and could 攻撃する，衝突する 60mph in under seven seconds and a （人命などを）奪う，主張するd 最高の，を越す 速度(を上げる） of 149mph.

Yet his 計画（する）s to 再構築する the ageing モーター - which had over 118,000 miles on the clock - were 削減（する） short に引き続いて a terrible motorcycle acciden t in 2008 that left Darren paralysed from the neck 負かす／撃墜する.

にもかかわらず 存在 unable to sit inside - or even touch - his much-loved モーター, the former 鉄道 signalman 辞退するd to part with his pride and joy, instead keeping it under a tarpaulin outside his home where he could keep a watchful 注目する，もくろむ on it.

Darren's carer, Adrienne, who 指名するd him for the show, said he rarely lets anyone lay a 手渡す on his car. In fact, he would only give them 許可 to clean it, though under strict 指示／教授／教育s to polish it in a particular direction.

Darren, 36, bought the 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4X4 - his dream car - in 2007 with the 意向 of refurbishing and 修正するing it (pictured). However, a 悲劇の motorcycle 事故 the followin g year left the former 主要道路 signalman paralysed and no longer able to sit inside his pride and joy

An 早期に morning start and 派遣（する） of as 代用品，人 寄贈者 Cavalier to sit on Darren's driveway under a tarpaulin was needed to 完全にする the switchover before work could begin to 回復する the dilapidating nineties collectible モーター?

Pictured left to 権利:?Keith Mullen, a family friend of Darren, Fuzz Townshend, Tim Shaw, and Adrienne McCorrisken, Darren's carer who 指名するd him for the show, 提起する／ポーズをとるing with the Vauxhall Cavalier at the 選ぶ-up 場所

This 提起する／ポーズをとるd the first problem for Tim and Fuzz, with the 前提 of the show 存在 that they take the cars away unbeknown to the owners and 直す／買収する，八百長をする them up without their knowledge, only to surprise them with their 微光ing 乗り物s in a big 明らかにする／漏らす at the end of each episode.

An 早期に morning start and 派遣（する） of as 代用品，人 寄贈者 Cavalier was needed to 完全にする the switchover before work could begin to 回復する the dilapidating nineties collectible モーター.

'The car had sat there for 13 or 14 years, so that will give you a 手段 of the sort of 条件 it was in,' Fuzz explains.

'Surprisingly, it wasn't that rusty ? it must be some sort of microclimate in Stockport, as it hadn't rotted away 完全に. However, mechanically, the engine was tired, the 中断 had given out, the ブレーキs 発射 and 内部の 落ちるing apart - which tends to happen when you have a car sitting around for such a long period of time.'

The car had been sat on Darren's driveway since 2008. It even had the last 税金 レコード for the car as shown here, before it was 宣言するd SORN and taken off the road

Having taken the car to Ric 支持を得ようと努めるd, a specialist in racing and sports car mechanic, the guys 完全に check the 条件 of the 28-year-old Cavalier

Tim (left) tries to turn the engine over while Ric (middle) and Fuzz (権利) look on. The engine was tired, the 中断 had given out, the ブレーキs were at the end of their life and the 内部の was 落ちるing apart

にもかかわらず the sizeable 仕事 just to 回復する the モーター to the 条件 it would have been when it left the factory 28 years ago, Tim had an even bigger 計画（する） in mind to adapt the car so Darren could ride in it once again.

It would entail 任命する／導入するing a 車椅子 system that fitted 直接／まっすぐに into the car, though would need far more 入ること／参加（者） space than the four-door saloon 供給するs as 基準.

To make it fit for Darren, it would need the B-中心存在 - the 地位，任命する between the 前線 door and 後部 door that structurally 持つ／拘留するs the roof up and most of the car together - to be chopped out of the 乗客 味方する 完全に.

Fuzz 収容する／認めるs he had his 疑問s if this was the 大勝する to go 負かす／撃墜する, knowing 十分な 井戸／弁護士席 that it would not only 限界 the 未来 value of the car by taking away its originality but also 潜在的に upset Darren, who might not want the authenticity of his much-loved モーター 存在 tampered with.

Yet the 決定／判定勝ち（する） was made to 圧力（をかける） ahead and a circular saw was 解雇する／砲火／射撃d into life to 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセス away at the Vauxhall's almost 30-year 団体／死体.?

Once the 中心存在 was 除去するd, a bespoke 後部 door hinge was 任命する／導入するd to 許す for the doors to open and の近くに in a Rolls-Royce-style 'coach' fashion to create a larger aperture.?

This?供給するs more space for Darren to be moved in and out of his car.

The sills and the doors were then fitted with high-strength steel to reinstall the 構造上の rigidity lost from the 除去するd door 中心存在, which the presenters and 専門家 mechanic - and Car SOS 正規の／正選手 - Ric 支持を得ようと努めるd believe 供給するs better 衝突，墜落 保護 than the Cavalier had 初めは.?

The Car SOS team go about working out how they could adapt the Cavalier's 団体／死体 so that Darren could once again sit inside his beloved c ar. Tim and Ric use a 規模 model of the Vauxhall to show how they 意図 to 削減（する） out the B-中心存在

Using specialist computer 補佐官d design (CAD), Ric designed a new high system so the 後部 doors open in a coach-door fashion - 類似の to a Rolls-Royce

Ric created this bespoke hinge system that 許すs the 後部 door to open the other way while 供給するing a very strong attachment to 妨げる the door from sagging during use

The next major step was to 削減（する） out the B-中心存在 - a 決定／判定勝ち（する） that 最終的に will 限界 the value of the car. Fuzz told us in our 排除的 interview that he was very apprehensive about chopping into Darren's car, knowing how much he loved it

'The best thing about it is that, from the outside with the doors の近くにd, you can't tell that it's any different from a 基準 Cavalier Turbo,' says Fuzz.?

Next was the monumental 仕事 of sourcing the 器具／備品 that could easily 移転 Darren into his car.

'We didn't have a system in the UK that would 十分である to get Darren - who is 6ft2 tall - in and out of the car without needing a support team of people to lend a 手渡す,' Tim explained to This is Money.

'We 手配中の，お尋ね者 to make it as smooth as possible, which is why we engaged with a company called BraunAbility Europe ? which is the world's 主要な 製造業者 of 乗り物 adaption 解答s based in Sweden.'

The system uses a bespoke 車椅子 that 大（公）使館員s into the car, swivels 90 degrees and locks into place to become the 乗客 seat.?

'It's controlled 完全に by 手渡すs and is easily operated by just one of his carers, who also need to be in the car with him at all times for health 推論する／理由s, which is why we couldn't take out the 後部 （法廷の）裁判,' Tim 追加するs.

'The whole 過程 of getting Darren into his car takes いっそう少なく than a minute. 普通は, it would take around 20 minutes and need a team of six people.'

中央の-way through the 復古／返還, Adrienne and Keith were 招待するd 支援する to see what Tim and Fuzz had done to Darren's treasured モーター. Here you can see the B-中心存在 has been 除去するd and the sills 強化するd with extra steel

Here is a better 見解（をとる） of the 抱擁する aperture the team 達成するd by cutting out the B-中心存在. Here, the specialist seat has already been 任命する／導入するd

The BraunAbility 行為／法令／行動するs as Darren's 車椅子 that he can sit in when 存在 輸送（する）d to the car. It locks into place in the car and a removable foot stand detaches so it doesn't need to be used when Darren is inside the Cavalier

The 議長，司会を務める then 回転／交替s 90 degrees so Darren is sat 直面するing in the 権利 direction. A bespoke foot plate has also been 任命する／導入するd

Tim said it isn't a world first, but says it is certainly the first 事例／患者 of 修正するing a classic sports saloon car for someone who is tetraplegic.?

With the modifications made and the 残り／休憩（する） of the car refurbished - 含むing a rebuilt and tuned engine - the episode shows the emotionally-告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d moment when Darren is 現在のd with his car and told he can go out in it for the first time since his 事故.?

Fuzz 認める to us that this was a 'heart-in-the-mouth moment' for him, as he still wasn't sure if Darren would be happy about what they'd done to the car that he had kept with him through 厚い and thin.

'Darren's story is a 堅い one,' he said. 'When I spoke to him after we 手渡すd his car 支援する, I asked when he last drove it and he said it was the day before his 大規模な motorcycle 事故.

'Without 疑問, this is the biggest 事業／計画（する） we've done yet over the course of ten series and it's a real testament to the people who help us on the show that we could do something like this.?

'Hopefully it encourages others to get in touch with 復古／返還s they think might be out of reach.'

Here's how the 素晴らしい Cavalier Turbo 4X4 looked ahead of 存在 現在のd 支援する to Darren at his home in Stockport?

Car SOS says you wouldn't be able to tell the Cavalier apart from any normal Turbo 4X4 from the outside, so meticulous was the 転換 work

Ric 支持を得ようと努めるd not only rebuilt the 初めの 16-弁 turbocharged 2.0-litre 石油 engine, but tuned it for more 業績／成果

The episode shows Tim 招待するing Darren outside to take a look at his car, which has been switched with the 寄贈者 Cavalier that had been parked outside his home as a おとり for weeks (left). Ric and Fuzz (権利) hide behind the 回復するd Vauxhall

Tim 追加するs: 'For me, it's number one ーに関して／ーの点でs of my favourite episodes.?It's th e best 業績／成就 of Car SOS yet.?

'I cried when I got home after 手渡すing the car 支援する, as it was such a monumental moment for us and to see the reaction from Darren and his family and friends was beyond words.

'It was like a 二塁打 明らかにする／漏らす. First we 明らかにする／漏らすd the car, which was enough of a moment for Darren. Then we asked him if he 手配中の，お尋ね者 to go out for a ride in it and his mind was blown.?

'His 直面する was utterly priceless when he realised what we'd done. That is one of the moments that makes you realise how much you love your 職業.'

Tim told This is Money: 'It was like a 二塁打 明らかにする／漏らす. First we 明らかにする／漏らすd the car, which was enough of a moment for Darren. Then we asked him if he 手配中の，お尋ね者 to go out for a ride in it and his mind was blown'

Tim Shaw and Darren pictured during the 明らかにする／漏らす. Darren's 傷害s 支えるd 14 years ago means he can not move his 団体／死体 below the neck and now uses a specialist 車椅子 that he can 支配（する）／統制する with his chin

Darren's friends and family were 招待するd to see the finished article - and watch him take his first ride in his Vauxhall since his terrible 事故

Fuzz told us he had his heart in his mouth even when 手渡すing the car 支援する, as he didn't know if Darren would be happy about them slicing into his beloved car. Darren was over the moon, pictured here inside the car for the first time with Ric at the wheel and Adrienne in the 支援する

What makes the Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4X4 special??

A pristine example of the Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4X4 - the British brand's 最高の saloon built between 1992 and 1994. Only around 200 remain in the UK today

The Cavalier Turbo is considering one of Britain's 広大な／多数の／重要な 'sleeper' cars - a high-業績／成果 乗り物 that looks like any normal family saloon.?

Car SOS 述べるs it as 'all Julie Andrews on the outside but a 激怒（する）ing Jack Nicholson under the bonnet'.

While it might have looked like a bog-基準 sales rep car, it's 力／強力にするd by a 16-弁, 2.0-litre turbocharged 石油 engine that produced 204bhp.

Other 決定的な stats 含む a six-速度(を上げる） 手動式の gearbox, an all-wheel-運動 system, 0-60mph in under seven seconds and a 最高の，を越す 速度(を上げる） of 149mph.?

It was produced between 1992 and 1994 with?2,244 built in total - 1,004 sold in the 部隊d Kingdom though only around 231 remain today either on the road or 宣言するd as SORN, によれば DVLA 記録，記録的な／記録するs.

Talking about his love for the Cav alier Turbo, Tim Shaw tells us: 'I grew up in the nineties when they were 追加するing more words and numbers to the 支援する of 業績／成果 cars: 8-弁; 16-弁; 燃料 注入するd; four-wheel-運動; turbo.?

'But the Cavalier Turbo went in the 全く opposite direction of that 時代.?

'It was one of those cars that had everything rammed in it, but didn't make a big song and dance about it.?It was quicker to 60mph by a tenth of a second than a 4X4 Ford Cosworth.?

'It is a car, as far as I'm 関心d, the only British 集まり-生産／産物 sleeper and a car never to go up against because you would lose.'

Fuzz Townshend 追加するs: 'We drove a meticulous one recently and it was 絶対 superb. It was a stonking 運動.?

'In a way they feel やめる modern, but then when you look at all the switchgear and plastic you can 明確に see just how old the car is.?

'It didn't make the waves its 競争相手s did, 簡単に because they didn't put 広大な／多数の／重要な big 鯨 tales and bodykits. But what a machine it was.'

We asked classic car valuations 専門家s Hagerty what a 類似の-mileage, good-条件, Cavalier Turbo 4X4 might be 価値（がある） today.

Their rarity and comparative lesser desirability compared to 類似の-時代 急速な／放蕩な Fords (which can cost 上向きs of £100,000 today) means there hasn't been an example of one at a 重要な auction in 最近の years.?

Based on the asking price of a 類似の Cavalier Turbo 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d on Ebay not too long ago - which had been 井戸／弁護士席 looked after and 持続するd with 167,000 miles on the clock - the valuations 専門家s reckon the 普通の／平均（する） value today is around £6,000.

However, they 追加する: 'It's one of those cars where someone may 支払う／賃金 the moon for it.'
