00:00I had to go see the doctor this morning, and he said, you need a heart M.O.T.
00:07He said, are you going to slow down? You know you are in your 60s now.
00:11I said, I know. I said, I've slowed down. I'm sitting here talking to you.
00:15You sit down a lot.
00:16That's what I said to him.
00:16Yeah, that's the problem.
00:17I said, those guys are working away restoring.
00:19All I really need to do is just use my left hand to pick up a kettle.
00:25I'm Henry Cole.
00:26That is beautiful.
00:27I love it.
00:28And along with fellow fanatic Fuzz Townsend, we're back on the hunt for vintage treasures in the nation's sheds.
00:38Oh, my God, it's a treasure trove.
00:39We're going to buy them, fix them up, and sell them for a tidy profit.
00:45I love it.
00:46Welcome to Shed and Buried.
00:48We're on our way to Mansfield in Nottinghamshire to see Stuart and his very unusual pit head museum.
00:59He will, I'm pretty sure, have some mining accoutrements there.
01:04Oh, really?
01:04Yeah, but he also likes a few other things, because you've got to think about other things that were made in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
01:14Like what?
01:15Rally bicycles.
01:16Rough superiors?
01:18Rough superiors, yeah.
01:19Yeah, man.
01:20Nottingham has a fine heritage when it comes to two-wheeled transport.
01:25OK, so basically, Stuart wants to get rid of some of his exhibits.
01:31Yeah, I mean, you get your display set up, and then something else comes along that may be better for the museum.
01:39Whether we return with a bag of coal or a rally grand sport, who knows?
01:46But Nottingham, here we come.
01:51Stuart, right, I think Fuzz and I have been to some really cool places, but nothing, nothing compares with it.
02:00Tell me about it.
02:01It's an old mine, right?
02:02Yeah, this is plenty of mental.
02:04Clips and Colliery.
02:05There were 1,300 men working here at one time.
02:07And wasn't that one of the last deep mines to operate in the country?
02:11It was, actually, yeah.
02:12In fact, the power station that the coal went to was the last one to close at Ratcliffe.
02:16Right.
02:16Just last year.
02:17OK.
02:17The last fossil fuel power station.
02:19Hang on a second.
02:20OK, so I get it, right?
02:21Colliery, this is just quite an incredible edifice.
02:25What's all the military stuff doing here?
02:27Ah, well, before the colliery, they actually started digging for coal before World War I.
02:32Yeah.
02:32Oh, right.
02:32They only got down 15 feet, and then there was the outbreak of war.
02:35Clipston became the largest army training camp in Britain with 30,000 troops stationed here.
02:41So that's where the military connection comes in for Clipston, yeah.
02:44I see.
02:44So how do you fit into all this, then?
02:46I don't, really.
02:47I retired and then thought I'd do something stupid when I retire, so here we are.
02:51So basically, you've taken on this building and the mine, etc.
02:56Yeah.
02:56Yeah.
02:57And it's a museum, is it, or what is it?
02:59It is.
02:59It's a museum now.
03:00It's military and mining mainly, yeah.
03:02OK.
03:02We've also got a Raleigh bicycle display because Raleigh's obviously Nottingham.
03:07Hey, so I'll have a quick look around and then call you in if there's anything we need some more info on.
03:11OK.
03:12But in the meantime, at the end, hopefully we'll have a deal.
03:15Fantastic.
03:16What?
03:17What?
03:17Shall we, uh, flow along?
03:18No, we're not going up there.
03:19No?
03:20No, no.
03:21I'll need oxygen.
03:22Honestly, I'm so unfit.
03:24We're going to have a look at this.
03:25OK?
03:26We'll see you in a little bit.
03:26OK.
03:27All right, mate.
03:27See you later.
03:28You like these fellas, don't you?
03:29It is a V8 Flathead, jailbar grille Ford from the 40s.
03:37The iconic Ford V8 Flathead first appeared in 1932 and was soon powering a whole range of trucks and heavy vehicles.
03:47There is something about this era of American pickups that, for me, immortalises that whole American spirit, American culture.
03:58Is there an engine in it?
03:59Have a look, have a look.
04:04And there you are.
04:05Yes.
04:06Mate, look at that.
04:07Look at that, flathead.
04:08That's all you need, really, isn't it?
04:10V8, got it.
04:10Matt, couple of axle steering wheel, done.
04:13Looks good, man.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:17As promised, there's a lot of historic military vehicles on display, ranging from ferret armoured cars to stalwart amphibious vehicles.
04:27And our old favourite, the Willis Jeep.
04:30I bought my first Willis a few years ago, but you could always have two.
04:36I could buy one.
04:37Yeah.
04:37And then we could both get them out.
04:38Mate, let's do it.
04:39Yeah.
04:39Is there an engine in it?
04:40I don't know.
04:42Do you know what?
04:42I tell you what, I could donate, if you were going to buy that for yourself, a gear knob.
04:47I've got one of them.
04:47Is that right?
04:48There is an engine in there.
04:49Look at that.
04:50Oh, yeah, look.
04:51Fab.
04:52And it looks like, again, it has seen some recent action.
04:57I like it, actually.
04:58I like this one because the tub is quite knocked about.
05:02It's not pristine.
05:04It's not perfect.
05:05I'll tell you what I love about it as well, is I love the upholstery.
05:08That's very good.
05:09Yeah, it's very easy to live with.
05:11Isn't it just?
05:12Easy clean.
05:13No worries about leaving it in the rain now?
05:14No.
05:15No.
05:15At all.
05:17Come on.
05:17It's an open door.
05:18In you go.
05:20Oh, my word.
05:22Inside, as promised, there's a collection of bikes celebrating local company rally, including our favourite, the chopper.
05:32Mate, seriously, right, these things, they're going stratospheric.
05:36Yeah.
05:36And even in this condition, which you could argue is either ripe for restoration, I would personally say keep it as it is.
05:44Yes.
05:45I mean, you know, that as a mark one is kind of 1,200, 1,500 quid.
05:49The bicycles are lovely, but once again, it's the military items we're drawn to.
05:57Oh, now then.
05:58Okay, so this, right?
06:00Isn't that a Brockhouse Corgi?
06:02No, no, no, that was the civilian version.
06:04Right, okay.
06:05That is a well bike, and oh, my word, that's rare.
06:09The well bike motorcycle dates from 1942, when it was developed for use by spies and paratroopers.
06:19To save weight, it had no lights, no suspension, and just a single rear brake.
06:23The real rarity here is that, one, that looks like the parachute.
06:30Yeah.
06:30And two, this is the cylinder or container that the bike was in.
06:35I see.
06:36Now, normally, normally something like that, obviously, is completely written off because...
06:41Yeah, discarded.
06:42Yeah, absolutely.
06:43It's landed and dented.
06:44A guy called John Dolphin bought the rights to these after the war and turned them into Brockhouse Corgis, hence why you thought it was.
06:55He sold 27,000 of them.
06:57Wow.
06:58Yeah.
07:00For a different kind of military bike, he's got another of my favourites, a Russian sidecar from World War II.
07:07Now, the most incredible thing about these, right, is they are actually exact copies of an R72 BMW.
07:17Stalin saw these.
07:19Yeah.
07:19And he thought, I've got to have these.
07:22And so nicked one.
07:23Well, no, exactly.
07:25In Sweden.
07:27Yes.
07:27Yeah.
07:27He had a spy.
07:29Yeah.
07:29And the spy nicked seven of them.
07:31Really?
07:32Right.
07:32And these were taken out of bomber range into the Urals, where they replicated them exactly.
07:41So plenty of very different items to choose from.
07:45But what will we go for?
07:46OK, so hang on, Ryan.
07:47Wait a second.
07:48Yeah.
07:48What have we got?
07:49That Dnieper or whatever it is.
07:51Yeah, absolutely.
07:52We've got the Wellbike.
07:54Yeah, the Wellbike would be brilliant, wouldn't it?
07:56What a thing to own.
07:58What else?
07:59Willis?
08:00The Willis.
08:01I'll tell you what, that.
08:02Ford Flathead V8.
08:04Of course, that's right at your Strasser, isn't it?
08:06I like it.
08:07No real trinketry, I don't think.
08:09No.
08:10But, oh, well.
08:14Hey, I'm going into this not having a clue.
08:16Are you ready for it?
08:17I am absolutely ready for it.
08:19Let's go find a shoe.
08:20Come on, man.
08:20All right.
08:20All right.
08:21Come on.
08:21Come on.
08:21Come on.
08:22Come on.
08:22Come on.
08:26Can we just have a little thought about, you know, prices and things?
08:29Yeah.
08:29All right.
08:30Okay.
08:30So, look.
08:31Let's start.
08:32You've got a lovely Flathead V8 pickup.
08:36Yeah, the Ford outside.
08:37Yeah.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Is that for sale?
08:39How much below 15 do you want to be?
08:41Quite a lot, though.
08:42Oh.
08:43Yeah.
08:44Maybe not, then.
08:45I don't know.
08:46What do you want, 15 grand?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Okay.
08:49Let's move on, then.
08:50Yeah.
08:50All right.
08:51Okay.
08:51So, outside there, there's a little Woolies Jeep.
08:55Is that a World War II Jeep?
08:57Yeah.
08:58Yeah.
08:58It is.
08:58It's 1944, I think it is.
09:01Okay.
09:01Just at the end of the war.
09:02Yeah.
09:03Sort of 10 grand, that, isn't it?
09:05So, okay.
09:06So, 10 grand for that, potentially.
09:08There's a well bike with the cylinder that it came in, the capsule.
09:13And the chute, yeah.
09:13And the chute.
09:14That is probably got to stay here.
09:18Okay.
09:18Because it's a museum and we celebrate the history of the war effort in Nottinghamshire.
09:23I think it should stay here.
09:24Yeah.
09:24It's very rare as well.
09:25Okay.
09:25Fair enough.
09:25Okay.
09:26But next to it.
09:28Oh, yeah.
09:29Dnieper, is it?
09:30Yeah.
09:31Or the Ural?
09:32Yeah.
09:33The sidecar outfit?
09:34We could part with that purely because we celebrate the British Armed Forces.
09:39Right.
09:39And that's obviously on the other side.
09:41Yeah.
09:41Yeah.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Fair dues.
09:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:43It's two and a half, I think.
09:45What would you say to two for the Ural outfit?
09:50Wow.
10:05We're up in Nottingham with Stuart and his amazing museum.
10:09We're bidding on a Russian sidecar, but we need to get it for a good price.
10:13What would you say to two for the Ural outfit?
10:21Wow.
10:23It's got new tyres on.
10:26We've got a trailer for it.
10:28No, without the trailer.
10:31I'll do it for two then.
10:33Would that be all right?
10:34Really?
10:34Really?
10:34Yeah.
10:37Fun to us.
10:40A day later, our latest purchase arrives at the ranch.
10:45Now, firstly, can I just apologise on Alan's behalf that he's not here because it started
10:51raining and he ran away in case he got rusty.
10:54Yes, and to get on his bike home before it was cataclysmic, which it has been.
10:59Exactly.
11:00He's going to have got very wet.
11:02All right.
11:02So, we've got here Skiddlington Minor.
11:04Yes.
11:05A Eastern European sidecar outfit.
11:08Side valve engine sidecar.
11:09I have a Dnieper, but I have to say, what my Dnieper doesn't have, there's a small spade
11:15there that I've just noticed.
11:17Oh, there we go, yeah.
11:18I like the high-level exhaust as well.
11:20Yours hasn't high-level exhaust.
11:21Hasn't got those as well.
11:22No, that's true.
11:22So, look, right, we've got a few issues.
11:25Clutch is all right, but front brake, eh?
11:28Yeah.
11:28There's no rear brake either, Alan.
11:29Okay, so we have no brakes.
11:31No brakes at all.
11:32So, there are a number of parts sitting in the boot here.
11:37That doesn't bode well.
11:38So, I think that means that we've got a plentiful supply of spares, so that we've got a chance
11:43of getting it running and stopping.
11:46And then, we'll get this one, get my one out, right, and we'll invade Oxfordshire.
11:52Okay, well, I think, as soon as it's the end of the day and the rain has passed and we've
11:55got a nice cup of tea, let's enjoy our tea, call it quits, and start this in the morning
12:02when Alan comes back from his endeavour avoiding the rust.
12:08Next morning, the sun's shining, Alan's back, and we're ready to restore.
12:16Well, it doesn't have any brakes, so which is more important, the go or the stop?
12:21The go.
12:21Go.
12:21You don't need the brakes unless it goes.
12:24So, then you really need them.
12:25Don't you think?
12:26Good point.
12:26You can use the throttle, can't you?
12:27Use the engine braking if necessary.
12:29Yeah, great.
12:29Okay.
12:32First things first, we fuel it up.
12:34Have we got enough in yet?
12:36Yeah, I suppose it's got enough.
12:36But though the fuel goes in, yeah, nothing's coming out of the tariff.
12:40It could all be completely blocked with slant.
12:43Alan and Fuzz replace the gunked-up fuel pipes, but there's also a problem at the carburettor
12:48end.
12:49That float's stuck.
12:51The float acts like a valve at the heart of the carb, but looks like this one's kaput.
12:56The float is actually not a float, it's actually a sinker.
12:58Oh, right.
12:59Okay, yeah.
13:00I think I've got some spare floats.
13:04Well, that would be brilliant.
13:05Weight one.
13:05Wow.
13:06That saves a lot of hassle.
13:07You know, he's actually useful for a change.
13:09He is, yeah.
13:09This is the acid test.
13:11Yeah.
13:12You are excelling today, do you know that?
13:15Look at that.
13:15Hey, look.
13:16It looks okay, but...
13:17It's a full carb rebuild kit.
13:19Let's get a bit closer, take the tank out.
13:21Hey, hang on a second.
13:22What have we got here?
13:23Look.
13:24Another one.
13:25Is it the same?
13:26It must be the same.
13:27They come from the same factory.
13:28Ah, but it depends, you see, because one could be for a 650.
13:32It's slightly different, isn't it?
13:33It is slightly different.
13:34Does that fit in the...
13:35Yes, it does.
13:36Yep.
13:37Does that fit in the barrel that it goes in?
13:39They're all getting too excited.
13:40Is it going to jam now?
13:41Yes, and it floats.
13:44I think Henry saved the day.
13:46Henry has saved the day.
13:47You don't often hear that, do you?
13:49You don't.
13:49Sorry.
13:50Hey.
13:50What was that?
13:51Henry has saved the day.
13:53That is the first time in our 45-year relationship that anyone has ever said that's good.
14:00I know.
14:00Okay, so I'm going to celebrate with a cup of tea.
14:03Yeah, right, okay.
14:05But just when everything's looking up, Alan spots something.
14:09The fitting pin under the new float is a different size.
14:13The float doesn't go down far enough.
14:16Do you want to use the old one?
14:18You can't...
14:18This one's soldered in.
14:19This one's soldered in.
14:20What we're going to do...
14:22Yeah.
14:22...is we're just going to just grind this down a little to make the diameter of this just a little smaller
14:30so that it sits into its seat on the carburettor.
14:34Cue some workshop improvisation.
14:38Alan attaches the pin to a drill and uses some emery paper to grind down the new pin to the same size as the old.
14:46Okay, let's have a look.
14:47So, this one, 2 millimetres, I think.
14:511.92.
14:521.92.
14:531.92.
14:53Yeah.
14:54So, what's this one?
14:55Okay, so this one is 2.2.
15:00Little way to go.
15:02This is what you call a field wave.
15:04Five minutes later, Fuzz tries again.
15:11Right, in we go.
15:14There we go, it's dropped in.
15:15Yeah, it's perfect.
15:16Yeah.
15:16After that little bit of engineering drama, the next stage goes more smoothly.
15:22The spark plug sparks.
15:23Yeah, yeah, massive, massive here.
15:26And with the help of a bit of easy start, the engine turns over.
15:31Right, here we go again.
15:34Yay!
15:36Yay!
15:37Oh, my lord.
15:39Alan's smiling, everybody.
15:41Alan is smiling.
15:43Oh, no, that's just wind.
15:44After a quick spot of lunch, Fuzz goes underneath to check out the brakes.
15:51The brake rod that we have is way too short, and there's not enough adjustment on it to make it long enough.
15:59So, we'll have to come up with a solution.
16:05Fuzz removes the fitments from the old rod and cuts a new piece down to length.
16:11If I tighten this up, tighten it all together, and then offer it up at the brake, hopefully, we'll have some stops as well as goes now.
16:24Try that skid, please.
16:30Perfect.
16:31Excellent.
16:31Job done.
16:33Alan fits a new battery and an ignition switch, and by mid-afternoon, we're finished.
16:39Yep, ignition on.
16:42Run very gentle push.
16:46Look at that.
16:50Hector.
16:51That's the easiest starting one of those I've ever seen.
16:56And me.
16:57Oh, my God.
16:59You guys have done amazing.
17:01And we've got a back break now, haven't we?
17:02Yep, got a back break.
17:03And it's stopped.
17:04Now, I wonder whether Oxfordshire is expecting a small invasion, because it's going to have one.
17:14Next day, we're ready to roll.
17:16As well as our latest purchase, I've dug out my trusty Dnieper, a sidecar that once patrolled the Berlin Wall.
17:24Apart from the colour scheme and a few details, it's pretty much identical.
17:29Time now to brief the troops.
17:32Now, listen.
17:33My mate, Will, who works at that posh motorhub place.
17:36Yes.
17:37He wants to buy a Ural.
17:39Does he?
17:39I think this is a great excuse for us to have a ride out into the countryside, yeah,
17:45and do a bit of pillaging on the way.
17:47Do you know what I mean?
17:48Yes.
17:48Like you would do if you were an invading force in camouflage trousers.
17:52Should we frappe la rue, as the French military would say?
17:55Definitely.
17:55Yeah, come on.
17:56Mount up and start.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Great.
17:58Let's do it.
17:59Oh, this could go very wrong.
18:04So, following the famous Russian proverb,
18:07without making an effort, you won't even pull a fish out of the pond.
18:11We're off.
18:15It's a bit unstable at the front.
18:18Yes, I'm not surprised.
18:26I'll be very surprised.
18:28Oh, he's a devil.
18:28Oh, hang on.
18:29Oh, he's a devil.
18:31I'll be very surprised if we make it.
18:35But if we do, we'll better buy it.
18:37These sidecars are still a common sight in Russia,
18:43especially in rural areas,
18:45where they're used to transport everything from firewood to sheep.
18:48They think it's the right-handers that are tricky.
18:54Not, though, that they are easy to ride.
18:58This is absolutely hideous.
19:00What?
19:00It's hideous.
19:01Yeah.
19:03Motorhub is a challenging 15 miles away,
19:06but before long, the inevitable happens.
19:09What happened there, Al?
19:13Cut out.
19:15Have you lost drive?
19:16Just cut out.
19:23Our invasion is temporarily thwarted.
19:26It is, because we came out of that junction.
19:28Yeah.
19:28Went up a gear, beautiful.
19:30Yeah.
19:30And then, as we went up a gear, it just cut out.
19:33It didn't feel like fuel starvation.
19:35It's electrical, we think.
19:37All right.
19:37I've got to tell you, this one, on the other hand,
19:40is flooding along.
19:42Fortunately, these bikes have no computer chips or ECUs,
19:46and Cotswold Roads are a lot more benign than the Eastern Front.
19:52After a quick field repair, we're back on the road,
19:56closing in on Will at the Classic Motorhub.
19:58A brand-new Ural costs about 20 grand.
20:02This cost us two, but I'm hoping to get three for it.
20:07Now, Will.
20:08Hi, Henry.
20:08All right.
20:09Now, we have ventured over here with not too many misdemeanors.
20:14I have to say, the misdemeanors have come from that one.
20:17OK.
20:18This, on the other hand.
20:19Hey, Fuzz.
20:20Well, it got over here.
20:21It's a challenging motorcycle, which is what you should go for in life.
20:28Challenges.
20:29Want some adventure.
20:30Exactly.
20:31Look, can I just say...
20:31It is an adventure bike.
20:32But I know you want one of these.
20:34I've always admired them.
20:36You are right.
20:37Yeah, right.
20:37There you go.
20:38Three grand.
20:39Three grand.
20:39Well, I quite like the desert one.
20:41What?
20:41For the black one, no, not a three grand, Henry.
20:44Come on.
20:45You know, it's two at most.
20:46It's actually dark grey.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Is it?
20:49Yeah.
20:49It is, yeah.
20:50Not in this light.
20:51It's pretty black to me.
20:52OK, all right.
20:53Come on, it's two at most.
20:54You know that.
20:55Seriously, Will, I know you know what Eastern European stuff's like.
20:59It's a laugh two and a half grand.
21:01What does that mean?
21:01Two and a half grand it goes.
21:03Come on, then.
21:04All right.
21:05Great.
21:05Shake your body a hand.
21:06Fantastic.
21:06Thanks, guys.
21:07Thanks for bringing it over.
21:13I'm glad it's gone.
21:14Mate, I'll tell you what, that is a right touch, considering I never thought we were going to get here.
21:20But SPQR, mate, innit?
21:21We've made 500 quid.
21:23Small profit.
21:24Those lanes were lovely, and I wasn't fussed with you going slowly, to be honest.
21:28Well, they're slowly, and there's eight miles an hour.
21:30Yeah, I know, right.
21:31Yeah, I felt safe, though, at that speed.
21:32Result.
21:33Hey, time to go and buy someone else.
21:34Bye.
