Chimp Television (Richard Hammond’s Workshop)

The Smallest Cog, Richard Hammond’s venture into classic car restoration, has evolved from ambitious start-up to accomplished workshop across four television series. With father-and-son team Neil and Anthony Greenhouse, Hammond has created compelling programming that demonstrates the authentic challenges of establishing a restoration business.

The fourth series reaches new heights with the restoration of Field Marshal Montgomery’s 1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith, culminating in its emotional return to Normandy for D-Day commemorations. This project exemplifies how classic car restoration can preserve both automotive and military heritage, whilst the series continues to offer unprecedented insight into the realities of professional restoration work.
