00:00Are you letting your hair grow?
00:01Maybe I should grow it out, but all I remember is the last time that I went to a barber's to have it all taken off,
00:08even when I had dreadlocks, there was a definite zzzz, zzzz, you know, as it went over,
00:15because the hair in the middle is quite soft.
00:18Slightly monkish, hairish.
00:21Yeah, yeah.
00:21But the rest of it, man, there's hair available.
00:26I'm Henry Cole.
00:28That is beautiful.
00:29I love it.
00:30And along with fellow fanatic Fuzz Townsend.
00:33In we go.
00:33Wow.
00:34We're back on the hunt for vintage treasures.
00:37Look, even more.
00:38In the nation's sheds.
00:39Oh, my God, it's a treasure trove.
00:41We're going to buy them.
00:42That's fantastic.
00:43Fix them up and sell them for a tidy profit.
00:47I love it.
00:48Welcome to Shed and Buried.
00:54We're on our way to Shropshire.
00:59We're going to go and see a geezer called Rolp Tilly, as in lamp.
01:06Now, look, I'm pretty excited about this because I know talking to him.
01:10Yeah.
01:10He's got a proper eclectic mix.
01:13Okay, cool.
01:14So what's he got?
01:15Pumps.
01:16Yeah.
01:17Signs.
01:17Yeah.
01:19Bikes.
01:20Oh, he's got the lot.
01:21He's got the lot.
01:22Yeah.
01:23He might have the odd car as well.
01:25What's not to like?
01:27The interesting thing about Rolp, right, is that he used to own a garage in Birmingham.
01:32Well.
01:33Well.
01:34He's got to be a decent guy then, hasn't he?
01:36And one tends to acquire things in and around the workshop.
01:41Yeah.
01:42That on retirement may find themselves quite valuable.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Do you think you'll ever return that?
01:50If I retire, do you know what I'd do?
01:52What?
01:53This.
01:55Whether we come back with a Tilly lamp or a retirement plan, who knows?
01:59But Shropshire, here we come.
02:04Rob, I'm so excited about this place.
02:06Look, I can see there is just a plethora of everything here.
02:09Just tell me a bit about your collection.
02:12I don't class myself as a collector.
02:14You don't?
02:14More of a hoarder.
02:16Oh, yeah, I'm like that.
02:16Yeah, but it's kind of the same thing, really, isn't it?
02:19A lot of these bikes I've had, like, for 40 years.
02:22Right.
02:23And I wasn't thinking about collecting them then.
02:25No.
02:25But the small business I had was doing quite well.
02:27So when I wanted another bike, I thought, well, I don't need to sell that one.
02:31I mean, do you have a Porsche?
02:32I can see there's sort of old British stuff here.
02:34Being a Brummie, I thought it would be nice to have one motorcycle of each.
02:39Each brand.
02:39Each brand of the common ones, which was Norton, Aerial, BSA.
02:45Yeah.
02:46Of course, the big question is, is everything for sale?
02:49Not everything, no.
02:50Just the good stuff.
02:52Some of the memorabilia came from the garage I had in the 80s.
02:56Yeah.
02:56And I've got quite attached to that.
02:58Oh, OK.
02:59And I think being a hoarder as well, you tend to value things more than what they're really worth.
03:05Yeah, that is true.
03:06Because you find it difficult to depart with.
03:09That's true.
03:09But I have to tell you, we can set you straight.
03:15OK, mate, well, look.
03:16Thanks so much for letting us have a rummage, Rob.
03:17Cheers, Rob.
03:18Really appreciate it.
03:19Come on then, will we?
03:19We might as well start here.
03:20Yeah, let's do that.
03:22All right, Rob.
03:23See you in a bit.
03:23See you.
03:24Rob's garage is really hoarder's heaven.
03:30He's got automobilia, both big and small.
03:36And as promised, lots of beautiful bikes, starting with this Sunbeam.
03:43Now, I think that's a 350.
03:45Interestingly, I'm pretty sure that is pre-war, but it's one of the first saddle tanks.
03:51Wolverhampton-based Sunbeam was one of Britain's first bike manufacturers.
03:58Initially, they produced flat tankers with a petrol tank underneath the top tube.
04:04But by the end of the 20s, they were developing modern-style saddle tanks, which sat on top of the frame.
04:10But this is a very rare, I would think, early saddle tank.
04:16I love inverted levers.
04:18Oh, hang on.
04:19Yeah, that one needs sorting itself out.
04:21A little bit.
04:22You know what I mean?
04:22But what a glorious machine that is.
04:25Now, look, we're leaning against something which is, I think, a Bachelors G3.
04:30Yeah?
04:30It's a lovely-looking bike.
04:32Here, hang on.
04:32Let me push this out.
04:33I think Rob's done a little bit with this.
04:36What do you think?
04:37Yeah.
04:38Sort of off-road-y, kind of bike-sheddy type, brat-style type, bringing-it-up-to-date type.
04:45It's a lovely thing.
04:49Matchless was a London-based brand, famous for their race-winning bikes.
04:53Though production stopped in 1967, they're still very popular on the racing scene.
04:59Rob, did you do this?
05:04Turned it into a brat-tracker?
05:05Yeah.
05:06Yes, yes.
05:06You've done a really good job, mate.
05:08Oh, thank you.
05:08It was just a cosmetic make-over with bits I'd got in the shed.
05:12When I go to bike meets, I get more interest when I turn up on this.
05:16Yeah, of course.
05:17Which is amazing, considering it's virtually cost me nothing.
05:19I think it's beautiful, mate.
05:23For another famous name in motorbike history, looking in the corner, there's something very
05:29different.
05:30Why is it so special?
05:32It's a BSA.
05:33Is it?
05:34BSA power unit.
05:35So that is kind of cool.
05:36It's like, it's a nice little addition to the BSA collector who has it all, or at least
05:41thinks they have it all.
05:43Look, it's a lawnmower.
05:44It is a lawnmower.
05:45You've got to get over this, you know.
05:46You know I've got my fingers burned.
05:47No, I know.
05:48Right from the off, one of the first sheds I ever went into.
05:50Exactly, but I think you've...
05:51I paid 300 quid for a mower that was worth 50.
05:54Yeah, but, you know, I think you've done worse deals than that since.
05:59As well as all the, ahem, lawnmowers, Rob's got more signs than an algebra textbook.
06:07Cleveland Discal Fuel, anyone?
06:10You would probably say that that's a bit too far gone, but...
06:13Yeah, it is.
06:14I really like that, you know.
06:17Exide batteries.
06:20Now, isn't that rather beautiful?
06:22That is.
06:22Eh?
06:23Would you reckon?
06:24Really superb.
06:25Now, that, hopefully, might light up.
06:29And Royal Daylight Paraffin.
06:32Well, I do like the Sunrise logo on that.
06:36The bikes, though, just keep on coming, like this rare Scott in his workshop.
06:43Right, OK.
06:44Now, is that what's known as a flying squirrel?
06:46Yes, it is.
06:48Now, I've got to tell you, these are way ahead of their time.
06:50Two strokes, and I have to tell you, man, I've never, ever ridden one, but they were really, total departure, just in the way they're looking, they were.
06:59Yeah.
06:59Do you know what I mean?
07:00Well, that's right.
07:01OK, look how the rear brake has been mounted.
07:04Here, that's sort of round the wrong way, if you see what I mean.
07:06It is, but I can imagine that that works very, very well.
07:10I'm sure even better, with better leverage.
07:12Yeah.
07:12Oil in there, fuel in there.
07:17And Rob's hoard is so big, it's even joined his household furniture.
07:23Oh, wow.
07:24Here's the favoured view, I think.
07:26He's got a Moto Guzzi Le Mans, a brace of Ducatis, and a pair of vintage trials bikes.
07:34No, I don't think any of this is for sale, seeing as it's actually in the main house.
07:40No.
07:41What have we got?
07:42What takes your fancy?
07:43All the memorabilia take my fancy.
07:45Yeah.
07:45I'll take any of it.
07:46I think Alan would love that little BSA-engined lawnmower, but don't look at me like that.
07:53Matchless G3?
07:53Matchless.
07:54Brat style?
07:54Yeah.
07:55The Exide sign.
07:57Beautiful.
07:57Yep.
07:58My God, there's so much stuff.
08:00Sunbeam?
08:00Yeah, the Sunbeam's beautiful as well.
08:02That Disgol sign outside as well.
08:04For you.
08:06Shall we...
08:06Shall we have a little chat?
08:07Yeah, it could take a while.
08:08I think so, yeah.
08:09Oh, I'm really excited.
08:10Go on then.
08:10Get your best negotiating head on.
08:17OK, look, let's just try and have a sighting lap, all right?
08:20You've got a Sunbeam.
08:221928 saddle tank.
08:23Is that available?
08:25Yeah, it could be, but I'm a little bit attached to that.
08:28That matchless?
08:29Yeah.
08:29Yes, yes.
08:30OK, the Brat style, how much could that be?
08:32Somebody did make me an offer on that, and I turned him down.
08:36Oh, really?
08:36He offered me two and a half.
08:38I was wanting closer to three.
08:41What about some signs?
08:42I'm going to start off with the sign that's down behind us.
08:44For years and years and years, it was upside down on my workbench at the garage.
08:4950 quid.
08:50Shaken by the hand.
08:51Yeah.
08:51There you are.
08:52Blimey, I think that's a very fair price.
08:53Yeah.
08:53You've got an Exide battery light box.
08:57Yes.
08:57Is that available?
08:58Yeah.
08:59Yeah.
08:59And how much is it?
09:00Probably looking about 150.
09:02OK, 150 quid.
09:04Yeah.
09:04Tucked in the corner, there's a little BSA-engined lawnmower.
09:08Yeah.
09:09It was in my granddad's shed.
09:11Yeah.
09:11And I had a friend who worked for a lawnmower repairer, and he actually restored it for me.
09:16Yeah.
09:17About 30 years ago.
09:18OK, yeah.
09:18How much is that, Rob?
09:20Just quickly, get it out of the way.
09:2150 quid.
09:23Yeah, I'm going to say yes to that.
09:25It's a BSA.
09:26I'll have a word with you after all this.
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29Now, there is a lovely Royal Daylight sign.
09:33Yes, yes.
09:34Yeah.
09:34How much would that be?
09:35I'm probably looking at about 120.
09:37OK, so what happens if I gave you, for the G3 Bratz style, come as you are, bike shed bike, the X side, lit up sign, and the Daylight, what about £2,900?
09:52Plus, I've got to pay 50 quid.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Call it three grand a lot.
09:56We're up in Shropshire with Rob and his hoarder's paradise, bidding on a trio of signs, a matchless bike, and something unmentionable.
10:21Call it three grand a lot.
10:23OK, yeah.
10:24Yeah?
10:24Yeah?
10:24What can we do with that?
10:25Yeah, thank you.
10:26OK, fantastic.
10:30Next day, back at base, we show off our sub-hoard.
10:36Starting with my pet hate.
10:39We've spent good money on that.
10:41It was only 50 quid.
10:42I think that's a glorious piece of objet d'art.
10:44I think that's rather a lot, 50 pounds.
10:46I thought 50 pounds were stored.
10:47We could probably get it running, but it hasn't been run for 50 years, probably.
10:50Do you want to get it?
10:51Because it's a fun bit for you.
10:52He said.
10:53We'll have a little look at it, I think.
10:54If nobody wants it, I'll buy it off you.
10:57OK.
10:58That's a good deal.
10:59There we are.
10:59We'll do it now.
11:0150 quid.
11:01Thanks, mate.
11:02Great.
11:03Oh, great.
11:04There you go.
11:04The load has been lifted.
11:05The load has been lifted.
11:06The signs are clean and wire-up jobs, but the meat and potatoes is the bike.
11:13That is a matchless 350, and it has been kind of brat styled, as we can all see, but I think it's been done rather nicely.
11:25I think we'll get that hopefully going relatively easily.
11:28I hope so.
11:29I think there's a nice little earner in that.
11:31That was a lovely bike to just chuff around on.
11:33Go to work on, reliable, stoic, nice.
11:36Well, let's just hope it's held on to that, eh, shall we?
11:42Next morning, we take the bike inside.
11:44We paid almost three grand for it, a fair whack for a matchless G3, but only if it's in good order and doesn't need much work.
11:53I actually think it's just going to start.
11:56I think so.
11:57It looks well cared for.
11:58Let's try and get this started.
11:59I'll tell you what, mate.
12:00Enjoy this, because the next thing to deal with is the mower.
12:07And on that note, Fuzz turns the key, Alan tickles the cob, and I play master of ceremonies.
12:16Alan the eel is about to step up.
12:20Third kick.
12:23Amazing.
12:28It's as good as we hoped.
12:32Sounds lovely.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Doesn't it?
12:35Yeah.
12:35I can't believe that started first kick.
12:37Well, that's a cup of tea, then.
12:39Oh, mate.
12:41Oh, yeah.
12:43That is fantastic.
12:46Not a single rattle.
12:47No.
12:48Mate, I can't wait to ride it.
12:49It's ready to go.
12:50That's it.
12:50It's restored.
12:50Is that it?
12:51I wonder what it's going to be like with the mower.
12:56Now, our BSA-powered mower dates from the same period as the Matchless, but it hasn't
13:02been treated with the same tender, loving care.
13:05And getting it going may be a little more challenging.
13:08The original starter cord is long gone, so Fuzz removes the ignition cover, and Alan attaches
13:14a strip of Kevlar as a replacement.
13:17They pull, and pull, but no joy.
13:22No, no spark.
13:23Not enough.
13:23Should we clean the points up?
13:25Cue another round of banging, yanking, and stripping until they've reached the points, the tiny
13:33contacts that keep the Magneto running.
13:36I'm just going to own the points and clean them up with a little bit of coarse emery.
13:44To get rid of 20 years of oxidation.
13:45Yeah.
13:47How's it all going, lads?
13:48The cover's come off, the points have been checked, and it's just going back together.
13:52Oh, God, I just can't believe you're spending this amount of time on a 50-quid edifice.
13:58The thing is, mate, although you're going, this is a 50-quid edifice, Fuzz will easily
14:02get 50 quids' worth of fun out of it over the next four years, spannering, because it
14:07won't go every time he tries to do his lawn.
14:12Over the next half hour, they use a blowtorch to clean the spark plug, an airline to clean
14:18the tank, but it still won't start.
14:22No, I think if I was a sprouting piece of grass, I think I might feel actually quite
14:28safe.
14:31In desperation, Fuzz swaps the cord for an impact driver.
14:37Right, we're going to give it a little bit of extra, for a bit of extra speed, we're going
14:41to turn it over quickly.
14:43With what?
14:43Using...
14:44Ah!
14:45Oh, right, OK.
14:46We are like a Formula One team.
14:48We're coming into pits.
14:49Right, clutching.
14:50Go!
14:52Yes!
14:53Woo-hoo!
14:55So the engine's sorted, but the blades are resolutely stuck.
15:00The belt's slipping.
15:01OK, but all I can tell you, mate, is that is fantastic.
15:05Yeah.
15:06It's almost a while.
15:06Don't worry about a slipping belt.
15:08We may be cutting grass, but not right now.
15:13We're not giving up, though.
15:14Half a can of lubricant later, Fuzz goes again with the cord.
15:19Yes, here we go.
15:21Yes!
15:23It still needs a little extra assistance, but eventually, we have Mo-Off.
15:29That's it!
15:32This is unbelievable.
15:34We're cutting grass.
15:35We are cutting grass.
15:37We've got no fuel leaks.
15:38No.
15:39It starts on the cord.
15:39Starts on the cord.
15:40By the way, it's £50 per hour to hire it.
15:46Well, we'll see about that.
15:48But without more ado, we head for my paddock.
15:51You see before you a small amount of our land.
15:57Now, I want this to look like a cricket pitch.
16:00You want me to do that?
16:02Yeah.
16:02All of that?
16:03With that?
16:04Yeah, before you take it away.
16:05Yeah.
16:06We're a 14-inch mower.
16:07You've got a full tank.
16:08But, hold on.
16:09What?
16:09God, just give it a go.
16:10You probably won't run now.
16:12Go on.
16:14Oh!
16:15Yay!
16:15Off you go!
16:16Oh, me of little faith.
16:20Like all the great BSA bikes we know and love,
16:23this mower may need the occasional firm kick,
16:26but it's a nice little runner.
16:29Not that our fuzz is ever going to make Head Gardener.
16:34That's definitely a bit wiggly.
16:36Wiggly?
16:37That's like a snake.
16:38It's appalling.
16:40He's doing it on purpose.
16:41Yeah.
16:46Thanks, mate.
16:49You've managed to do yourself out of a very, very difficult job.
16:52All right?
16:53And I think that's marvellous,
16:55because you set out straight away on those up and downs, right,
16:59to basically make sure that I wouldn't employ you to do the rest.
17:03Exactly.
17:04Yeah.
17:04Yeah.
17:05It does work, though.
17:06Hey, look, the mower works.
17:08It's ready for sale.
17:09Oh, I've sold it.
17:10And, Alan, you were looking at an auction site last night.
17:14What did you tell me about that?
17:15This mower's worth a lot more than we thought.
17:17And me.
17:18I thought 50 quid was a lot, but it's not.
17:19It's not like 150.
17:21I'll have words with you, mate.
17:23Happy days!
17:24In fact, it's so rare.
17:25That's what I call a nice little learner.
17:28Yeah.
17:29For you.
17:30I've had my problem with mowers over the years,
17:32and it just doesn't get any better.
17:33It's gone wrong again.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Yeah.
17:38Next day, we move on to the signs.
17:42First, we polish and connect up the Exide box.
17:45Go.
17:47Three, two, one.
17:49There we go.
17:50Yes!
17:53Then fuzz and skid take the royal daylight outside to clean it up.
17:59Andy, are you interested?
18:02Well, I get selling.
18:04OK, mate.
18:05All right.
18:07I'll bring it up.
18:09All right.
18:09All right.
18:09Bye-bye-bye.
18:10Now, listen.
18:12That was Andy.
18:13Yeah?
18:13Farmer Andy.
18:14Yeah?
18:15Quite likes the idea of the matchless.
18:17Does he now?
18:18Yeah.
18:18I suppose it's that go-anywhere rear tyre.
18:22OK.
18:22Well, do you know what I'm going to do?
18:24Seeing as we haven't test-ridden it,
18:26I'll test-ride it to the sail, potentially.
18:28OK.
18:29All right?
18:29Yes.
18:30Will you carry on with that?
18:31Yeah.
18:31If you don't make it, give us a call, but I think you will.
18:40If it was another bike on another day,
18:42I might say famous last words,
18:45but our first-time starter is as good as we thought.
18:50I'm selling it to make some money, hopefully.
18:53I have to tell you, this is lovely.
18:57The matchless 350 was sometimes criticised
19:02for being overweight and underpowered.
19:05Not that there's anything wrong with that,
19:07but on roads like this,
19:08where you've got a bit of time to enjoy the views,
19:11it's a perfect ride.
19:15Oh, man, it's absolutely gorgeous, this thing.
19:20We got this from Rob for three grand,
19:23signs and unmentionable included.
19:26I think it's worth more,
19:28and let's hope local farmer Andy agrees.
19:32It's a matchless old British bike from the 60s,
19:35but please note the knobbly rear tyre.
19:38Yeah, very agricultural.
19:39Yeah, it's very bucolic,
19:40and this is a trials front tyre.
19:42Yeah.
19:42So you have that multi-purpose approach
19:45of going round your fields to check your harvest.
19:47Let's face it, life is a trial.
19:49Well, you said that, I didn't, mate.
19:51I think it's a joy,
19:52especially when you own one of these.
19:53OK.
19:53But no, seriously, it just thuds along.
19:57I'll tell you what, mate,
19:58that's the first time I've ridden it up to you,
20:00and just everything works.
20:02It is just really nice.
20:04And you get a free teddy bear.
20:06What's not to like about the free teddy bear?
20:08Three, 250 is what I want for it,
20:10and I know you're going to haggle.
20:12You'd expect nothing less?
20:14Three grand, all right?
20:16I'll drop 250.
20:17Come on.
20:18Are you going to give me any warranty on it?
20:19Yes, as always, mate.
20:21You have our 10-minute warranty.
20:23OK.
20:24That's how long it takes me to get to you, remember?
20:26Yeah, yeah, no, no.
20:27I'm going to have to ride it back, right?
20:29And then I will drop it up to you later on this afternoon.
20:31But three grand with a 10-minute warranty.
20:34I think we can have a deal on that.
20:35Yeah, really?
20:36OK.
20:37Thanks, mate.
20:38Cheers.
20:38Top work.
20:38No, it looks top piece of kit.
20:40I love it.
20:4020 minutes later, I'm back at the ranch.
20:49That's all right.
20:50I've caught you relaxing.
20:51Don't worry about it.
20:52We've had a lovely time.
20:54So have I, boys.
20:55Yeah, how did that go?
20:56Three grand.
20:58Wahey.
20:58Fantastic.
21:00Now, that means, surely,
21:02that we've got the Exide battery.
21:04Yeah.
21:04We've got that to sell.
21:06And you've got your Driscolls.
21:08Yes, that's right.
21:09And the mower.
21:10Yep.
21:11Which you have taken home.
21:12I have, yes.
21:13So that means that, basically,
21:16the Royal Daylight.
21:17Yeah.
21:18And the Exide side.
21:20Yeah.
21:21Is free to us.
21:22Well done.
21:22That's fantastic.
21:23And they, together, I reckon,
21:25are worth about 600 quid.
21:27Wahey.
21:28Happy days.
21:29Fantastic.
21:29Nice little earner.
