00:13actually know what we're coming from here our Celica Toyota Celica Supra long bonnet low roof
00:21flared arches it's the Japanese e-type in it 508 is the big Mercedes fire engine there you are I thought
00:31it must be worth this sort of money mustn't it I saw some photographs of it legs are out and that
00:37boom thing there was 75 foot in the air was I mean I know it was right up there and I thought that's
00:43interesting in there and all good yeah came arrived started and that's when it all went wrong really
00:50the Aston Martin the DB6 the mark 2 the rarest one out of the lot as we know it's the right color
00:57the right spec the right year the right model everything's dead right about it
01:01hey many lads driven a DB6 at 17 is it
01:06yeah look something else don't they nice car
01:12huh the Matthewsons a dynasty of classic car auctioneers 55 the joys of an auction most people
01:25will go to a sale with something in mind but come away with something different the fun is the chase
01:30we'll have a look and we'll advise you from there you just don't know what's on the end of the phone
01:34what are you going to find when you open them doors this is a family's love affair with motors
01:39that have lived a life testing testing most people will buy a car because they can relate
01:45to it maybe a car that dad had you're selling dreams right here we go
01:48another week begins with a larger than usual arrival it's red noisy and stands out a mile
02:10oh what's coming in now I don't know I don't know anything about large delivery I don't know
02:17what's coming you know what's going out does it blow water about everywhere does it all right
02:23well it's probably fire engine I don't know anything about a fire engine oh the firemen coming in
02:28it's cool though isn't it if you wanted one like look at that it's mega isn't it but where are we
02:39gonna put it the engine came here from a private collector in Ireland who also needed some space
02:46it's not got any blues and twos or anything you know it's just passing you through I think
02:51you'd think surely that'd still be used to him some way shape or form wouldn't you like why would
02:57you bring it out of service I know what you mean it's not old enough is it not really pensioned
03:02off oh if only I'd be uniform oh big cab like in it they are aren't they there's gonna be like
03:14five or six hundred grand there and you reckon as much as that and then now it's worth 10p in it
03:18oh that was lovely wasn't it oh here we are look you see um yeah well these do them bits and that and
03:36does that host it it should be clear by now that Paul never made the grade as a fireman hey hey you
03:46like that don't you kill that the big leg in it you don't want to go down you don't want to go in
03:57either this is the moment when you realize that doing the okie-cokie with a fire engine is the
04:12wrong idea so our current situation is we've got a right leg out unable to retract basically yeah
04:19luckily he did it not me so like the proverbial well-oiled machine the classic car commandos
04:36operate with precision and the very best intelligence I don't know what I'm going for don't know I'm
04:44meeting don't know where I'm going so it's the usual last minute thing oh I love it yeah it makes it all
04:51all part of the fun don't it when you don't know who you're gonna meet what you're gonna go for so
04:54no we'll soon find out all being well Charlie's coming down with me and yeah so we can give me
05:00an like so no it's good Charlie's on board now taking a load of pressure off so you know I'm done
05:04I ain't got a clue what I'm going for I'm just gonna yeah just arrive really see what happens I got a
05:10winch got a trailer got Charlie what more do you need that's it will be all right I love driving it
05:25and knowing that we wouldn't see another one you might get passed by e-type drags and Aston Martins
05:32but you weren't going to get passed by a Toyota Celica Andrew Longmuir has had his for more than 30
05:39years but it's not your common or garden Celica it's a Toyota Celica Supra it's got a 2.8 twin cam
05:48electronic ignition nice cruising car for someone my age it's quite a firm ride so time to let it go
05:56the reason I partly that I kept it for so many years was that I was going to give it to my son but
06:08he got married and had a child and sort of the thought of being responsible for the car putting
06:18it back on the road has waned a bit it was one of the delights of owning it was driving it round and
06:25people not realizing what it is because I don't think many people will see them
06:30Toyota's answer to Datsun's all-conquering 280z was a stretched out version of the Celica powered by a straight
06:42six-cylinder engine they gave it a new badge and the Celica Supra was born the first gen looked the part
06:50even if the performance lacked a bit of punch still rear-wheel drive and fuel injection made it a fun if not
06:56exactly earth-shattering ride 1982 saw the arrival of a totally remodeled 2.8 litre version complete
07:05with an eight-band graphic equalizer that made your Spandau body tapes sound like Tony Hadley was in the
07:10passenger seat the new Supra's first arrived in strictly limited numbers and like big hair and
07:17shoulder pads not many survived the 80s it's reckoned there are fewer than 10 left in the country today
07:26right inside it's a bit dusty it's got air conditioning cruise control it's a five-speed manual box which
07:42is a bit unusual as well most of them are automatics it's obviously got a limited slip diff the handling of
07:49it is enjoyable there's never been any question about my love for the car but now to see it ending
08:00up like this I need to get something done about it it would be nice if it went for well anything more
08:09than three and a half thousand it's classic car wash day and proving he's as much a dab hand with a
08:27chamois leather as a gavel is the washer-upper in chief what a lovely car lovely car lovely color
08:36absolutely bang up how many cars I've washed and clean I've washed 10,000 must be much there must
08:46have washed 10,000 or something or more and probably clean half of that and more I don't know really
08:52wouldn't really bother me if I didn't wash anymore you know really
08:57I suppose basically I'll wash and clean probably 20-25 a week for 50 years or something how many is that
09:12it's quite a lot isn't it
09:13it is simply one of the most beautiful shapes ever crafted I mean it's kind of Mozart in 3d isn't it really
09:43it waxing lyrical about this Aston Martin DB6 its owner and full-on Aston enthusiast Aidan Merkert
09:52this particular example is a DB6 mark 2 only 170 something like that mark twos were made for the UK
10:03market this car is an extraordinary example because it is an unrestored example but when you look at it
10:11you would never know it is absolutely beautiful if come and take a peek inside the interior
10:20well I just think it's magical I truly do right there we go I mean driving down the road a beautiful
10:29oh absolutely absolutely and the extraordinary thing is because this is an unrestored example I'm actually not scared to use it
10:38I prefer not to be out in the rain but if it rains it rains but here we go
10:43look at that one fat lump this is unrestored yes people I suppose care enough for these things to
10:53make sure that they will survive in fabulous condition and you've been very very proud to own it
10:59yeah absolutely it would be a lie to say I don't feel good driving up the road in it because I do feel good
11:06every time I go out I'm driving a victory lap
11:10and the sound have you listened to a car going past
11:17the DB6 is the jewel in Aidan's collection but he's also partial to the odd NG
11:28they're pretty they really are they are so so lovely and they're very affordable very manageable if
11:37you're looking for cheap classic car this is the one to buy this is not like a modern car it's not
11:44an iPad with a wheel at each corner you know this is what I like to call an analog car whenever I go
11:51out in this one and we do go out in them whenever I go out in this I feel I'm in a Miss Marple film
11:57this is a sleek neat car there's no door handles on the MGA we athletically get in by no you've got
12:07a string that you have to pull on the inside although the problem with that is if it's raining
12:13and the windows up and the roof is on it's a bit of a challenge to actually open the doors
12:18Hayden's already got plans for the cash from the sale he's giving it all to the
12:26charitable causes he supports we can invest heavily in educational projects we run a school
12:33in India which is a charitable school we also have a big interest in a new school in Birmingham
12:38and as I was looking at this I thought it's a beautiful car but it's a thing and I'm turning
12:43this thing and indeed some of the other things here we are going to be turning that into people change
12:50lives I don't just want somebody to stick it in a museum how much better is it to actually
12:57experience the past while driving it yeah you could stick it in a garage disconnect the battery and say
13:04I'll come back in 15 years but where's the fun in there now this is a car I'm hoping somebody will
13:10love it for what it is and use it because of what it is
13:13few British marks inspire such affection as a vintage Sunbeam well-built reliable and fun to drive the
13:28roots manufactured Talbots rapiers and alpines have always done well at the Pickering auctions
13:34lot number 482 Sunbeam Talbot 90 100% genuine car third and last time provisionally but number 32 is
13:44the Sunbeam rapier hammer coming down at 67 Sunbeam Alpine very very solid looking car third and last
13:53time 5100 there you go well done 5-1 there are a couple of Alpines coming up in the next auction
14:02one a full-on restoration job the other finished to perfection do you know what every now and then
14:10an item turns up doesn't it and you think I like that that's that item for me in this auction that's
14:20my car I've got a thing about wheels see I like nice wheels and it sits up nice very often they're a bit
14:28tired a bit saggy you know you open the door they drop a bit this one doesn't it just opens closes nice
14:35all right gap's not perfect it's not perfect on the body but it just I don't know it just draws me in
14:41for some reason and I could quite happily run about next summer in that car brilliant absolutely great
14:46yeah yeah so I like that car the pros of buying one that somebody else has restored you're not too
14:52sure what's under that glossy green are we but you can drive it if you want one your spec if you want
14:59to know what's underneath it everything else then you restore one don't you and I'm what should you
15:04be looking for this one I haven't seen any figures to be fair but I would have thought that's gonna be
15:08like seven or eight grand I would have thought as opposed to probably two or three grand over there
15:16here we go look wanting
15:21bit of love but look further than first impressions it's not as bad as it may seem not for a sunbeam it's not rotten like a
15:32sunbeam very often it is all right free there you go engines free so that's a bonus in it and the
15:39actual car itself back arches are rotten a couple of bits down here bits and pieces but a lot of it
15:46it's not bad not bad once the door bottom looks splicing in once the wheel arch rear quarter bottom
15:53look boot lid looks good got a boot floor look I mean when you see the car from over the other end of
16:00the shed to then come over and see a boot floor in it that's good so anyway you've got choice haven't
16:07you if your budget stretches to restore one and make it beautiful crack on if it doesn't buy one
16:14like that that's nice and user-friendly and off you go 648 64 sunbeam alpine there she is been parked
16:23up for a little while as you can well see but what potential that's got can't go wrong with it
16:282,000 pound 2,000 pound north yorkshire 2,000 pound 2,000 pound absolutely for nothing maiden bid never
16:35heard anything like it before 2,000 pound gonna go 2,000 pound for the first second third last time 2,000
16:43more than a few weekends work there but the new owner has got the restoration well underway
16:53228 is the 66 sunbeam alpine here we go we're away 6,000 6,2 6,4 6,6 6,8 7 7,000 I've got good value
17:097,000 pounds it is very good value of seven charlie's phone gonna be sold cheap sports car these 7,000 for the
17:17first second third and last time charlie's bid 7,000 down to you at seven well done they make a nice
17:25change from mgb they're everywhere aren't they they're great aren't they brilliant we all love mgbs you go
17:30in the show field and there's 20 mgbs and there's three of them yeah for me they're just they just
17:35look just look a bit fancier really just look a bit fancier jack and charlie have traveled almost
17:51the full length of the m62 to chester maria maria all right then and they still don't know what for
17:59i didn't actually know what we're coming for but here oh celica yeah you didn't tell me that bit
18:07jake did you oh wow toyota celica supra blimey how long has it been in here about five years in this
18:18particular garage don't see many celica supras about though do you i think there was only six left in
18:24the country that's probably why then yeah but it was a fair car back in its day see off most bmws i
18:32bet it would yeah i think it's quite futuristic for its time don't you hmm i think with it being 2.8
18:39manual i think it would have been a bit like a spaceship won't it really yeah i mean good fun still
18:44will be today when have you last had it running it's about six years i think so it shouldn't take
18:50many minutes then i'd like to think to to get it going and i'll tell you what just with a wash off
18:54and a massive coat of polish it would change it all altogether wouldn't it arches and things are
19:00all very solid they're very good feels good lovely other two well that's handy at least they're all
19:07holding there so far one more to go i didn't know whether to expect a uh uh supra i.e you know that
19:15the the supra the the proper one or uh or like a 2002 celica i didn't know what to expect and then
19:22you open the door to that and think oh that's lovely isn't it getting out the way handles at this
19:29there we go
19:32all right that side andrew yeah oh there you go mr muscles over here keep it going well she's got a
19:45stiff spot that's why that's heavy there we go get truck moved up
19:52that's about easy enough didn't it
19:59my aim was originally to get it up to the isle of aran and drive it on the isle of aran but
20:25someone else can do that
20:27what did you buy it for back in the day i paid the guy two thousand pounds for it well i think
20:41we'll be in profit good good good well we'll see what it makes we'll be on our way then all right
20:46thank you very much
20:55what do you want this big down here
21:03easy to do it this way make more noise
21:20make it from pickering high street
21:36the artists of the pickering memorabilia team have worked their magic once again

22:29four to keep michael happy because he wants it in his shed
22:32you know when something appears to be a good idea on paper and then reality kicks in when
22:45dave agreed to sell it he hadn't reckoned on reality kicking in quite so hard i saw some
22:52photographs of it legs were out and that boom thing there was 75 foot in the air or something
22:57i don't know it was right up there and i thought that's interesting isn't it surely there must be
23:03somebody who wants to give 20 grand for a machine that probably costs 300 000 and all good yeah came
23:10arrived started and that's when it all went wrong really we can't get that leg out or back in or anything
23:19that's that just seems to want to stay there but yeah we've been in here uh and we've had all this
23:25apart and we've checked things and we've swapped things and we've pulled things and we've poked things
23:31and most things work it's just the bits that we want to work don't hey i'll see if he wants one
23:40there you go
23:43he might be rushing to go and buy one
23:47but yeah what else can you do with it it is just very specialist that's the trouble
23:51not the sort of fire engine you can park outside the house is it at home
23:55not really is it you know and think that oh no one will notice
24:00they will yeah this time i might have bitten off more than i can chew maybe
24:09508 is the big mercedes fire engine there you are again my fault it's here i just thought for the
24:16money when you compare them to the fact they're about 500 000 pound new and i thought it must be
24:21worth this sort of money mustn't it there you go anyone want to jump in at 15 000 i'll bring it down
24:26to 15 if you need one and you've got to have one to meet some regs there you go 15 000 pound if not
24:32we'll have to move on i just thought it looked absolutely for nothing
24:36no bids no budding fireman sam's unless paul can get the leg in no going back to the vendor either
24:50yeah go on that computer system there is registering a fault somewhere
24:56we can't move anything so the only way we can get it in is to take the pipes off from the ram
25:01um and override it and push it back in yeah go on keep going a little bit
25:22oh i know it looks better on there than it ever did back there
25:24oh it looks much nicer on there

32:57yeah look something else don't they
32:58gearbox is a bit stiff bit notchy it's not bad it's okay it's all right yeah i see why there's
33:07such a following for them now
33:13before everyone shouts james bond's car paul's got a message
33:18there's actually a db5 in the film but everyone thinks it's a six
33:23i like to see a bit of wear on a seat and things
33:25why is that well because if you haven't got a bit of wear on a seat you've got a new seat haven't you
33:29and then you haven't got an old aston have you you've got a new aston
33:32yeah various bills and invoices here look i'm going to take them all upstairs in a minute
33:36loads and loads of old mot's look coach works lovely wheels are lovely
33:43there we go look great inchy not overdone just
33:46nice four liter inline straight six lovely look at the steering wheel look it just says hold me
33:55doesn't it are we talking real craftsmanship or what not really we're talking thrown together if
34:01you think about it because they're built out of bits weren't they generally speaking i'm going to
34:05get well shot for that aren't i look at the switch for the interior light has got
34:10it's a switch off of something completely random and it doesn't fit so they put a bolt in to get
34:18your pin to come out and press your switch it is very agricultural very primitive but they work
34:23don't they let's be fair most people who own them are going to be jumping up and down aren't they and
34:28i'm really sorry for you guys for that but it is a fact of life they are largely made up of bits and
34:33pieces and they are worn off aren't they let's talk money oh vulgar vulgar i suspect it's gonna do
34:44somewhere my gut 165 175 so let's hope it goes off to pastures new kept like that and used also
34:54the aston martin the db6 the mark 2 the rarest one out the lot as we know it's the right color the
35:06right spec the right year the right model everything's dead right about it the proceeds are going to be

36:05so thank you well done greg congratulations you've got yourself an aston he's happy he's very happy
36:19it's just the quintessential british aston martin sports car particularly the mark ii
36:25knew um the shape of it has always been something that's stood out for me as one of the most beautiful
36:31cars new owner greg michael was so happy he turned up the day after to collect
36:40sit in your car thank you how about that that's amazing yes she's a beauty lovely in it it's fantastic
36:49it's the appearance and the design and the look of them there's just nothing like them is that
36:53it's been a childhood dream it's been absolutely it's been 45 years waiting since i've been good
36:58luck to you good luck to you greg's got a long drive back home but what's the betting he enjoys every
37:04single mile north of the border in the fine city of glasgow it's not just the architecture that's a feast
37:16for the eyes we have 305 gt turbo there's only about three or four left in the uk and i've got one of
37:24them neil clark's been building up a collection of cars that tell a story of hot hatch speed
37:31the toyota gt4 it's a great car to drive it's phenomenal it really is and it does turn heads but
37:36there's two of them together you said two gt4s two of them yeah why not have four if they're good
37:43all of which brings us nicely to neil's latest acquisition the 1986 silica supra they came in
37:53to the country um you only could get 10 at a time they wouldn't allow any more in uh which was surprising
37:59and obviously they were they were expensive back then to have a car which was you know 145 brake
38:04horsepower was just unbelievable that was like you know it's a rocket we're running about in cars that 70
38:0980 horsepower the design features on those cars i mean they went a lot and bothered to get this car
38:15to look the way it is it cried out for me to buy it but a car that hadn't moved in a while had some
38:21issues that needed a bit of left field thinking to fix we got the tank out we looked inside and went oh
38:28oh dear the fuel goes off it looks like vanished inside it smells terrible and the tank looks like
38:34it's got a lot of corrosion in it we used to put liters and liters of vinegar gallons of the stuff
38:39inside it so you could put every material you can nuts and bolts screws bit of chain whatever you might
38:45be and you just put it inside it and you slush it about just till your arms are aching you do it the
38:50next day and then you leave it a couple of days and you look inside and it starts to look a lot better
38:55a lot cleaner and you just do it again and then eventually you treat it with bicarbonate
38:59soda to neutralize the situation with the vinegar so the supra has been keeping the mechanics busy
39:04and malcolm campbell has enjoyed the chance to work on the old stuff you have to to use your own brain
39:11you have to use your experience you look at the car you then make a decision on how you're going to fix
39:17that car and that's where the enjoyment comes it's not just someone a computer telling you how to repair it
39:23thank you malcolm job done brilliant great stuff sounds fantastic you don't see that much now inspection
39:38lamp of the cars
39:42double overhead cam slight tick off the uh the engine that hopefully will go away when we do an engine
39:48flush and we'll take it a run and there you go you'll have one lovely car
40:10nice exhaust nut
40:11sounds very healthy taking the sunbeam alpine for a spin through the glorious county durham countryside
40:23is new owner david dye i was actually looking for an alpine if i could find one one day i looked and
40:30i saw this one i put a bid in absolute rock bottom of the estimate and nobody else bid for it
40:37it's a lovely car really comfortable to drive
40:45the interiors lovely magnolia leather the dashboard clocks have all been done in the magnolia faces and
40:53nice walnut dashboard and so on it's it's really a nice car it's quite easy to get in and out which was
41:00one of the reasons i looked at in the first place i thought it would be easier than the mg
41:05on the mg i would have to put one leg in and i get hold of my foot and lift it in by hand with this one
41:14i can actually get in it and shut the door i'll lift the bonnet and see what's going on
41:23i'll put a new fuel pump on which is down here it's a bit awkward to get at but once you've done it a few
41:30times you can do it quite easily you get the wheel off and you can do it from underneath much easier
41:34than from the top but that's old cars you learn how to do it by doing it basically you know if you
41:40you can read the book all day but it doesn't help you to get the bolts undone sometimes
41:44you're very much a tight fix it don't buy it it's got all my total costs of everything
41:56on i don't tell you exactly to the penny how much i've spent on it can i guess later on sorry
42:01can i guess yeah i'll live in there for now good test of its pulling power up the hill here
42:13this is where it scores well over the mg goes over rough roads very smoothly i was in and out the gears
42:25really easily doesn't clunk this is where it's fairly hard work very tight bins
42:34it's very heavy steering with not having power steering on it it's all part of the character of
42:47the old cars total cost of parts not counting the hours and hours and hours of labor 508 pounds and 68 pence
42:59i can't see it being a problem for a lot of years to come so it'll probably see me out as a classic car
43:10it's going to be a good all-round car i'm really pleased with the with the buy
43:29so
43:38so
