Bangers & Cash

Derek runs into trouble on a trip to Wales to collect a '50s Chevy panel van and an '80s Brooklands Capri.  A stunning Matchless Model X finds a new home, and grandson Charlie gets a lesson in valuations at a Yorkshire classic car show.

Dave tries out a new system of collecting multiple classics - and bags a Triumph TR6 and a Lotus Cortina for the auction. The team struggle to explain how a DAF 33 gearbox works and Sarah brings order to the auto memorabilia sale.

Anglophile Derek struggles to get his message across on a rare trip abroad to pick up a very British Bentley. Back to the Eighties when a well restored Ford XR2 sets the auction alight and a cult classic Mini Moke makes a rare appearance.

Dave finds a very rare '70s Sunbeam Lotus that has been rotting away in a farmyard for 29 years.  Derek is a big fan of a rare wartime fire pump he finds in Lincolnshire and a well-restored Morris Minor convertible goes under the hammer.

A delightful collection of British classics comes up for auction including an Austin A35 and a rare Hillman Avenger Estate in stunning condition and a sensibly priced 'E' Type Jag hits the spot at the auction. 

Three "new" MGs from the '70s turn up at the garage - still covered in original factory wax. Nobody can believe it - or value them! An ex-police Morris 1000 panda car turns up at the auction along with a TR7 V8 rally car, and Derek says 'yes' ...to auctioning a fairground ride.

A trio of rare and beautiful Alvises get the auction buyers going when they come under the hammer, a Chevy Corvette which started its journey in Saudi Arabia makes its way to Thornton le Dale for the sale ... and an apprentice mechanic who worked at the garage 70 years ago makes a nostalgic return trip.

Dave sets out to collect a fast Ford from the '80s and has a nasty surprise when he opens the bonnet, there's much love for a scooter with Italian flair and German engineering, an Austin Heavy 12 nearly a century old sets off a bidding war at the auction... and 11 year old Charlie road tests a Raleigh Chopper from the '70s - it's brutal.

Derek has to corral the whole Mathewson clan to help him drag a mini pickup out of the barn it's been in for twenty years, a statesman like Rover P5 glides into the saleroom and a lovely 350cc Douglas Mark V motorbike from 1950 (in polychromatic blue)  goes under the hammer. 

Four VW camper vans pitch up at the auction house looking for new homes, Paul's trip to pick up a rare Reliant Scimitar convertible sparks a family dispute when he returns with a different car and an upgraded 1946 Austin 16 that "goes like stink" divides opinion at the garage.
