Le stand de ANT Anstead avec son kit voiture Tipo 184, Grand prix 1930 autoconstruit qui utilise une Mazda MX-5 comme voiture de donneur, au Silverstone Classic 2022
Anthony Richard Anstead (born March 1979) is an English television presenter, motor specialist, car builder, designer and artist, [3] best known for co-presenting the Channel 4 automotive show For the Love of Cars with Philip Glenister. In 2017 Anstead took over from Edd China as co-host of the show Wheeler Dealers, alongside Mike Brewer. n his 2019 TV show Ant Anstead Master Mechanic, Anstead uses a variety of components, from spare parts to donor cars to hand-build an homage to the Alfa Romeo 158. The show sees Anstead work with a variety of automotive personalities and experts in the field. t’s called the Tipo 184, and it’s actually a dinky Mazda MX-5 in Forties period costume. It’s the work of Ant Anstead and the team at Dowsett Cars who wanted to offer an affordable and approachable project build for the average driver. For around £20k (plus a donor Mk2 MX-5) you can buy the kit and build one of these yourself in a week or two, depending on mechanical competence. That’s a lot of historic race car, for not a crippling amount of money. It’ll swallow 100 to 150 hours of your life building one, we’re told.
