00:01This has a body by Tickford.
00:03I had a girlfriend once.
00:05Yeah.
00:05But she drove a Tickford Metro.
00:09Yeah, it's just, you know, a metro for posh people.
00:13I'm hurt, you know, he just said that.
00:15Sorry, what's that?
00:16Well, you know, car for posh people.
00:19I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:21Look, look, I'm going to start up a society for you.
00:27I'm Henry Cole.
00:28Oh, that is comfy.
00:31And along with fellow fanatic Fuzz Townsend...
00:33That's a magnificent pair of choppers up there.
00:36..we're back on the hunt for vintage treasures in the nation's sheds.
00:40Look at this.
00:41We're going to buy them, fix them...
00:44That is fantastic.
00:45..and sell them for a tidy profit.
00:49Welcome to Shed and Buried.
00:55We're off to see Rick in Hampshire.
00:58I know that he loves his bikes, but also...
01:05Yes.
01:05..he does love a British motor car.
01:08Probably a lot of stuff is out of our price range, I guess.
01:11Well, maybe so.
01:12But it's lovely to view.
01:14Exactly.
01:14You know, you don't have to buy everything, do you?
01:17No.
01:17You don't have to own everything.
01:19No.
01:19Sometimes it's enough to see it.
01:22And admire it.
01:23Admire it.
01:24Oh, yes.
01:25Smell it.
01:26Yeah.
01:26Feel it.
01:27Be close.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Get involved.
01:30Yeah.
01:30Yeah.
01:30And then try and buy it.
01:33Hey!
01:36Whether we do manage to turn window shopping into purchasing,
01:39who knows?
01:40But Hampshire, here we come.
01:46Colin, tell us how it all started.
01:48It all started so long ago, wouldn't it?
01:50Did you have a beard, Dan, or not, when you first started?
01:53Yeah, just when I left school.
01:55Oh, really?
01:55OK, all right.
01:56When he was eight.
01:58Yeah, about that, yeah.
01:59I just started, done apprenticeship as a mechanic,
02:03and just started buying and selling a few cars,
02:05and motorbikes, first of all, would be in the cars.
02:08Is it just general engineering that you love
02:10and the stuff that you fancy,
02:11or is there an era or something like that?
02:14No, not a particular era.
02:16I like British stuff, and I like a little bit of America,
02:19and no sort of European stuff at all, really.
02:22Yeah, no.
02:22But anything right from the beginning.
02:24I mean, there's a lot of lovely stuff here.
02:26I'm assuming that not all of it is for sale,
02:29because there's some such lovely stuff,
02:31but maybe so.
02:32Hang on, look, he's just opened his arm, was like that.
02:33Yeah, that means perhaps.
02:35Some of it might be expensive, mightn't it,
02:37if I'm a bit reluctant.
02:39You'd have to really tempt me.
02:40I know, but I'm...
02:41Have Henry got plenty of money?
02:42No, I haven't.
02:43No, no, we're on a bit of a shoestring.
02:45Oh, yeah, all right.
02:45OK, well, we'll have a rummage.
02:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:48See what we can dig up, right?
02:49Might call you in on just a few things.
02:51Yeah, sure.
02:52And then hopefully we'll have a haggle
02:54at probably more the bottom end of things.
02:57Sure, yeah, yeah, fine.
02:58Great, I wish I had a beard like yours.
03:00Yeah.
03:00So do I.
03:01That's very good.
03:02Look at that.
03:02How did you do that?
03:03This is real beard envy, is it?
03:04It is, yeah.
03:05We are envying beards.
03:07Yeah, yeah.
03:07Great, Rick, we'll take a look.
03:09We'll see you in a bit.
03:09All right, mate.
03:10See you later.
03:10Yeah, yeah.
03:11All right.
03:11Wow.
03:14Rick Shedd has got more prize goodies
03:16than The Generation Game,
03:17we'll start with something dear to Fuzzy's heart,
03:21a very unusual AC Seca.
03:26So, Ali bodied.
03:27Oh, yeah, aluminium bodied.
03:29Yeah.
03:29Now, you've got to remember,
03:31post-war period,
03:32there were lots of people
03:33who had been working in the aviation industry.
03:36So there were lots of people
03:37who could work with aluminium
03:39and work with lightweight concepts
03:41so you could build a car such as this.
03:45They're absolutely exquisite.
03:47I had a little dinky one
03:48that used to be my brother's when I was a kid
03:49and I still rate these
03:51as perhaps the most beautiful
03:53two-seater sports tourer that you can get.
03:57OK, let me ask you a question then.
03:59Would you sell the house for this
04:00if Karen wasn't there?
04:02Yeah, if Karen wasn't there, yeah.
04:03Yeah, I would.
04:04Good.
04:04Yeah.
04:05Mad in my own heart.
04:06Definitely.
04:06Marvellous.
04:07The AC isn't the only rare British car in here.
04:14Look at all this great British goodness.
04:19He's got a Jag XK140.
04:23It's just lovely.
04:24The lines are perfection.
04:26A Bristol saloon.
04:28These were Gentleman's Expresses,
04:30Gentleman's Saloons, really.
04:33And for something slightly cheaper
04:35but equally hard to find today,
04:37a Singer 9.
04:40I did try in the choir at school.
04:43Well, he said, sing an F or something.
04:46Yeah.
04:46Ding.
04:48And he said, thanks very much, Henry.
04:50Get your coat.
04:54The Singer Car Company
04:56had nothing to do with choirs or sewing machines.
04:59From their factory in Birmingham,
05:00they made no-cost tours and saloons.
05:03The Singer 9 was a popular small sports car
05:07made between 1933 and 1949.
05:12Look at the body shape on this.
05:14Now, this is perhaps...
05:15It's pretty MG.
05:15Yeah, it's perhaps an exception to the rule
05:17because it's got this quite upright rear aspect here.
05:21And a long bonnet.
05:24So, it actually looks lovely.
05:26Now, let's just have a look.
05:27See if...
05:28Has it got a six-cinder?
05:31No, no, it's a four-cinder engine.
05:33So, but look, you see,
05:34you've got that long, long sort of aspect at the front.
05:39I love it.
05:39The balance of the body shape is perfect.
05:42Rick's cars are fantastic,
05:49but way out of our price range.
05:51Not that his bikes look any less special
05:53like this vintage Harley.
05:59Now, I've just sold a WLA.
06:00It's very much like that.
06:02Yeah, yeah, that one will be a bit quicker.
06:04Overhead Vail one.
06:05It's a police bike, 1957.
06:08Wow.
06:08Been in storage for a long time.
06:10Has it?
06:10Got a really interesting extra pedal down there
06:12to rub the siren on the back tyre.
06:15Oh, yes.
06:16Yeah, and it works, works lovely.
06:17It really screams as you go down the road.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah, yeah.
06:20How amazing is that?
06:21But just never been touched, you know.
06:23Everything's sort of dead right as it should be.
06:27Moving next door.
06:29Oh, yes.
06:30That's a big step.
06:30One giant leap for Henry.
06:32Can I just say, this is the holy grail.
06:36If you want a Bantam, you're going to want a GPO Bantam.
06:45Introduced in 1948, the BSA Bantam
06:48is probably Britain's best-selling bike.
06:51The Royal Mail, then known as the GPO,
06:54bought almost 5,500 of them,
06:57but very few are in such good nick as this.
07:00That is stunning.
07:03Look, it's got the leg guards.
07:04Yeah.
07:04It's got the graphics.
07:06It's mint.
07:07And also, can I draw your attention to that?
07:09Yeah.
07:09Hey?
07:10Yeah, that is great.
07:12125.
07:13They did go up to 175.
07:14I don't think I've ever seen a postie not in shorts.
07:18No, that's right.
07:19But that's because they're always using their legs, aren't they?
07:21I'm using me legs.
07:23Not as much.
07:24You're not a postie, are you?
07:24But you could take it up, couldn't you?
07:27Okay, yeah.
07:27Look at that is something very special.
07:29Yeah.
07:32Continuing our search for something affordable,
07:35we head for his third shed.
07:37We're just beyond an E-type convertible.
07:39There's an anomaly.
07:40That is such a departure.
07:44Yeah.
07:44You wouldn't think that Rick would have something like that.
07:50The Harley Sportster is an all-American classic.
07:54Introduced in 1957 to compete with the British bikes,
07:57then overrunning America,
07:59it's still in production today.
08:01That is a 20-year-old bike now, isn't it?
08:05Mate, yeah.
08:06What is it?
08:0655.
08:07Yeah, it's a classic.
08:08It is an absolute classic.
08:09Probably 1,200 or 883.
08:11Probably 1,200.
08:12Yeah.
08:13The air filter, something's missing here.
08:15That's right.
08:16We're undergoing some routine maintenance.
08:18It's down there, by the looks of things.
08:19I'm sorry, mate.
08:20I do.
08:20And look, there's a back for the seat down there.
08:23Oh, right.
08:23Okay, so there's all that kind of stuff going on.
08:25Do you like Harleys?
08:27No.
08:27I like early Harleys.
08:28I don't like later ones.
08:30For me now, we're in the period
08:32where there's too much shiny stuff on there.
08:34I like shiny.
08:36A bit of bling cheers you up of a morning.
08:38To me, anyway.
08:39I mean, I've got some seriously bling choppers, as you know.
08:42Yeah, that's true.
08:43That's true.
08:43I've seen them in the glass next to your bed.
08:45Hang on.
08:47Are you being false teeth-ish?
08:49You are?
08:49No.
08:50You're being false teeth-ish?
08:51Anyway, look, may I draw your attention
08:53to this lovely United Automobile bus stop.
08:57It's not United Counties.
08:58It's a United Automobile.
09:00It's up north.
09:01Now, look, seriously, mate.
09:02I love an E-Type.
09:03Sorry, I was just drawn to the Harley straight away.
09:05E-Types are the quintessential British car to me.
09:08But, coupe, please.
09:11It needs to have that sort of sweeping fast back.
09:15Whereas, it just doesn't have it.
09:17It's just an E-Type with a boot.
09:18Exactly.
09:19There's some nice sounds around.
09:20There are.
09:20OK, so now, look, let's go and see, Rick.
09:21But, OK.
09:22So, look, I know you're not favourite, but I quite like that.
09:25I can see that that would be a good purchase.
09:28OK, so, look.
09:30I can't really afford one of these, Rick.
09:32You know, and we can't afford that lovely A.C. down there, you know.
09:36What about the post bike?
09:38Yeah, the GPO.
09:39The GPO Bantam.
09:40Yeah, that.
09:40Yeah.
09:41All right.
09:41Go on, then.
09:42Let's go have a chat.
09:43Well, here we go.
09:51I'm diving in, right?
09:52OK.
09:52The Harley behind us here.
09:54Yeah.
09:55How much, what do you think for that?
09:57Close to 40 grand.
09:59Told you.
09:59Steady you.
10:00Yeah.
10:01You've got a lovely Bantam GPO bike.
10:04Yeah, yeah.
10:05Got all the proper logbook for it that says GPO London.
10:09It's a genuine one, yeah?
10:10Yeah, proper genuine one.
10:11Genuine GPO one.
10:12How much would that be?
10:13Three six.
10:15OK.
10:16Yeah.
10:16Now, in the other shed, we saw a Harley.
10:20Yeah, the Harley can be, it can make the Harley a bit of a bargain.
10:24Oh, yeah?
10:25Yeah, it could do three six.
10:27OK.
10:29Would we be thinking anywhere near the three thousand for the Harley?
10:33I'd do three and a half, but that is going to be the bottom line on that one.
11:01I can't do any less than that, so it's got to be three and a half, but I don't know if you
11:06noticed, there's a backrest, and there's a screen, you can have those as well.
11:11There's a battery charger with it to sort of make it a bit sweeter, but it has to be three and a half.
11:15Should have probably started a bit higher and then come down perhaps, perhaps I've made a mistake with it, but...
11:20No, you've never made a mistake with it.
11:21No.
11:22Hey, look, do you know what, three and a half for the Harley, let's do that.
11:25Yeah, why not?
11:26I'll tell you why, because I think we can make a little tickle on that once we get it running.
11:29Yeah, I think you ought to be able to.
11:30Great.
11:33Next morning, we share the good news with Alan Skid.
11:39I'm expecting you to be well happy with this, but especially you.
11:44I love sport, because yes, it's really shiny.
11:47That's good.
11:48Is it an 883 or a 1200?
11:501200.
11:50I know nothing more than that, apart from probably the battery's dead.
11:55Yes.
11:55And there is something going on why the air filter is off.
12:01Yes.
12:01I would imagine it's probably just been parked up and perhaps was going to start it up and...
12:08Cobb's gummed up and he's taking the air filter off to have a look.
12:11I mean, perhaps it could be that old friend of ours, pilot jets.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Yes, we're getting very acquainted with them these days.
12:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, we are recently.
12:19Modern fuel is causing a big issue.
12:22I think we should go on a ride.
12:24I might have to take one of the really, really weird ones.
12:27Otherwise, we might end up in a bush.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Okay, well, shall we try and get it going?
12:33Oh, hang on.
12:34Is that the phone?
12:35Best of luck with the bike.
12:36I couldn't hear that phone.
12:37Quick.
12:37No, I couldn't hear it.
12:37I'm coming.
12:38No, I didn't hear a phone.
12:39It's probably got one of those things in his ears.
12:40Yeah, that's what it is.
12:44As if I'd shirk work.
12:46To use Henry's terminology, let's go cheap.
12:52Yeah.
12:52Put a splash of fuel in.
12:53Yeah.
12:53See what happens, and then we'll go from there.
12:56If we have to have the carb off or whatever, then we'll go from there.
12:59Okay, cool.
12:59Fuzz juices are up, and Alan opens the fuel tap.
13:07Okay, you ready?
13:08Yeah.
13:12Shall we try it with some easy starts, see if we actually have any action?
13:16Before you start it, Fuzz, this engine is a dry sump engine.
13:20Right.
13:20Except the problem we have, it isn't a dry sump engine.
13:22The oil's probably, because it's been stood, drained from the tank to the crankcase.
13:27Okay.
13:27So if it starts, keep the revs low.
13:30Don't rev it high.
13:31Okay.
13:31Right, go for it.
13:32Okay.
13:37Easy starter spray on mixture of fuel and lubricant is a restorer's must-have.
13:43Keep it there.
13:45It's perfect for engines that haven't run for a while.
13:48Okay, well, the tank's filling back up now.
13:51Yeah, good.
13:52That sounds really nice.
13:54We should really put the air box on, because the air filter's all designed in for it, isn't it?
13:57Yeah, that's true.
13:58Okay.
13:58Let's do that next.
14:03The filter covers the carburettor's air inlet to keep out any unwanted dirt and dust.
14:16Sounds very smooth, doesn't it?
14:18Yeah, it sounds lovely.
14:19It sounds lovely, but it won't take over properly.
14:23Right, start it again.
14:25That is a block pilot.
14:26Yeah, it is, isn't it?
14:26Yeah.
14:27Okay, so we're in for a little bit of a carburettor clean, eh?
14:31Definitely.
14:32Definitely.
14:36The 2005 Sportster was the last to have a carburettor.
14:41Fortunately, you can remove the jet without taking the whole thing off.
14:46I can blow through it, I can blow through it, but it's partially blocked, I think.
14:50Glad to see you've borrowed my glasses, Al.
14:51Yeah, well, I hope the string doesn't annoy you.
14:53No, look at that.
14:54It's straight through.
14:56Rotates nicely.
15:00Backing goes the jet, and on goes the filter, and Harley's your uncle.
15:04If you had an uncle called Harley.
15:06Let's just try and start and see if it starts up, without touching the throttle.
15:11Okay.
15:12Okay.
15:15It's fine.
15:16Yeah.
15:18That's fixed, isn't it?
15:19It's good as gold.
15:20I think you need to swap that woolly hat for a crash helmet.
15:25Could be a good idea, couldn't it?
15:26Yeah.
15:29And away he goes.
15:30Now Al's not Peter Fonda, and my drive's not Route 66, but doesn't it look great?
15:42It's remarkably smooth.
15:43I have no vibration at all.
15:47Here we go, coming round the corner.
15:50Yeah, he's smiling.
15:52He's giving it some, and typical Al, he can't ride slowly, and he's got a grin on his face.
15:56Yeah.
16:00It goes really, really well.
16:04Yeah.
16:05It pulls strong, but the alarms keep going off.
16:07I thought I heard a...
16:08The engine management light was flashing, the battery light was flashing.
16:11Okay.
16:11It's got one cylinder at low risk.
16:12I think it's because the battery's absolutely flat.
16:13Okay, so new battery, and then proper test.
16:16But in a nutshell, Al, it's really nice.
16:18It pulls like a train.
16:19I'm actually generally quite impressed.
16:21Yeah, good.
16:21I'm not being a Harley person myself.
16:23It's actually really nice to ride.
16:24Yeah, I'm the only Harley liker here, so I feel out on a limb, but hopefully you now see why I like them.
16:30These bars are too far forward as well.
16:31They are.
16:31Well, they shouldn't be up like that.
16:33They should be here.
16:33I'll sort that out when I'm cleaning it, Al.
16:35There is one thing I like about these.
16:37What?
16:38They're nice and warm, aren't they?
16:39There's plenty of iron there.
16:40Yeah, it keeps you warm.
16:41Yeah.
16:41It keeps your legs warm.
16:44In the afternoon, Al and Fuzz skedaddle, leaving Guy to fettle the baby.
16:52Al said the handlebars are the wrong angle, so I'm just going to tip these back.
16:56The problem with that is when you tip these back, these will all be at the wrong angle.
16:59They'll be up in the air, so I'll have to adjust all this.
17:02But it's only a couple of Allen keys.
17:04Takes a few minutes, and that'll make it much more comfortable to ride.
17:08And then, well, I'm just going to polish it.
17:10But look, it's really clean.
17:11It's not a jet wash.
17:12It is literally a polish.
17:13So I'll do the paint work and sort of seat and those bits first.
17:17And then I'll get the metal polish out, and I'll do all the metal.
17:21And this thing is going to look lovely.
17:23Henry will love it, because it's really bling and shiny.
17:26And it's got that magpie effect for him.
17:31Guy starts on the handlebars.
17:33It's a straightforward adjustment, designed to be set to each rider's preference.
17:38Always set the angle first, and then set your switchgear, not the other way around, obviously.
17:45You need it where it's going to be, getting the switchgear right.
17:50Five minutes later, it's done.
17:54Yeah, that's much better.
17:56Paintwork next.
17:57For the bodywork, Skid uses good old furniture polish, a fail-safe for bringing up the shine.
18:09This bike's dressed to impress, with gold flake built into the paint.
18:15Half an hour later, it's ready to rock.
18:25And rock it will.
18:27I've left Alan and Skid working, and sneaked out on the Sportster.
18:34It's lighter than your classic Harley Cruiser.
18:37But with its 1,200cc engine, it still bosses the road.
18:43This one has had a Stage 1 Screaming Eagle tune-up on it.
18:50Hence why you can hear it.
18:52It's much louder than the standard Harley.
18:55And also, obviously, it's got a little bit more poke.
18:59Top speed on this bike is around 110, and though Harleys have a reputation for being a bit crude, this model is great.
19:09The gearbox, though, on this is as tight as a drum.
19:16It's really nice.
19:18There's nothing agricultural about it.
19:20I guess it's the same with every bike, you know.
19:25As long as you pay attention, love and set them upright, you ain't going to have any trouble.
19:32Oh, boy, sorry.
19:41How was that?
19:42It's slightly inclement out there, mate.
19:44You know, it's a relative hardship to ride.
19:46Oh.
19:46No, it isn't.
19:47It's beautiful.
19:47It sounded really, really cool when you pulled away.
19:49I must have known.
19:49Did it?
19:50We stopped sparing, didn't we?
19:51It is quick as well.
19:52Oh, the hell.
19:53Yeah, but surprisingly, you know, I've ridden a lot of those, but actually, with the old Screaming Eagle on and the tune-up, it really does work.
20:02Yeah.
20:03Now, I reckon four and a half grand all day long, don't you?
20:05It's got to be, hasn't it?
20:06It's got to be, yeah.
20:06Hey, it's got to be.
20:07I mean, look at it.
20:08It's a gorgeous thing.
20:09All we need to do is find a punter who agrees.
20:12Next day, we do get a punter.
20:20Or to be more precise, Rob, our workshop assistant, takes an interest.
20:28Are you going to do any work today or not?
20:29Well, I quite like the look of this.
20:32Can I tell you, Rob, for your first proper steed, that's proper.
20:36And I don't think, you are a bit of a nutter, and I think you might still manage to keep that one upright.
20:41If you've got a sports bike, I'd be worried.
20:43Why are you promoting the idea of him buying it?
20:45Because he's interested in it.
20:47There's an interest-free loan on hand, and I think he should go for it.
20:51Do you really like it?
20:53I love it.
20:54I've been looking for an 05.
20:55I know you have.
20:56I know, I know.
20:57Yes, last of the car.
20:58It's perfect for you.
20:59Everything we've been talking about is perfect.
21:01It's the one.
21:03Four grand.
21:04Four.
21:05So we make 300 quid.
21:07That's happy.
21:08Look, you've made a tickle.
21:09That keeps him in tea.
21:10Are you happy?
21:11Yes.
21:12Shake hands.
21:13Yes?
21:13Yes.
21:14All right.
21:15Very good.
21:16And keep it sunny side up, mate.
21:18Yeah.
21:19Don't wang it.
21:20Yeah?
21:21Right, go on.
21:22To work.
21:22Hang on.
21:23Go.
21:23You'd better go and work it off now.
21:24Yeah, go on.
21:25Off you go.
21:26He'll want monthly payments.
21:27I can feel it.
21:28I know.
21:28I know.
21:29It means you've trapped him for a while.
21:31Yeah, that's good.
21:31It means you've got to go.
21:32It means you've got to go.
21:33It means you've got to go.
21:34It means you've got to go.
21:34It means you've got to go.
