02:41fresh from passing his driving test charlie's getting ready for his first solo vehicle collection
02:48today i've got to go to ghostland which is only a half hour up the road
02:52um to pick up what i believe is a little moggy van
02:57um so we're in
02:59high winds which is lovely
03:01um so we're like we'll chuck the little moggy van on the back
03:05um it's me i think he's called steven i think
03:08um and then bin blow away back down whip it off get it processed and in the sale
03:13he's he's proper excited really bless him he's waited a long time hasn't he
03:17a long time as i did when i was his age you know i couldn't wait to get out simple
03:22as that you know
03:23and he's the same
03:26grown up quick hasn't he
03:27yeah
03:28came up from my memories the other day it only said like three or four years ago like
03:32and he was tiny in the little jcb machine down at thornton dale and now he's like taller than me
03:36isn't he
03:37so um yeah
03:38yeah funny feeling really i don't know where time's gone
03:40yeah but no he'll be spot on like a good lad
03:48my first car was a lotus elan series 4 drophead 1969
03:56from there i had various mgs
03:59high on the north york moors in the village of goldland
04:03steve tucker is getting dewy eyed about his long love affair
04:07with motors at the speedier end of the scale
04:10i went into the classic cars in my 20s
04:13mark ii jags s-types daimler's in the late 90s
04:20i had a porsche 911
04:22i had another lotus
04:23and then i went into the uh the evos
04:26i was um had an evo 6
04:28i brought that into the country direct from japan
04:32in 1999
04:34it was one of the first in the country
04:36had a bentley at the moment i've got the porsche panamera all always had cars in in the blood
04:43all of which makes his latest acquisition
04:45well a tad surprising
04:48this is a 1972 austin morris which i bought probably about 18 months ago
04:55the intention was to put some sign writing on
04:59we're in goldland here in north yorkshire which has obviously got the links to heartbeat
05:04so the plan was to get the car out have it sign written and do local shows and events
05:11we've got a business here to promote the bed and breakfast
05:15i'll push it out although it does start but in all honesty it's that long since i've driven it
05:20i've forgotten where reverse gear is
05:26there we go
05:28so i just haven't got around to doing it
05:31um i did buy it blind
05:33and that's probably my my biggest mistake
05:35basically being out the garage twice in nearly two years
05:39uh and then gone back in
05:41one of the first things i found
05:44it's a struggle to get in it
05:45obviously the seats don't adjust
05:47getting older in there in years and what have you
05:50yes i wouldn't want to drive it for any long distance
05:54that's for sure
05:56everything's been done
05:57seats have all been done
05:59new carpets
06:01dashboard
06:01it doesn't want for anything
06:04it's probably one of the only vehicles i've not fallen in love with it
06:07i can't quite put my finger on it
06:10i think i think in the past i've always had performance vehicles
06:13you know you put your foot down you go
06:16this one it just doesn't happen
06:18um which i should have thought about it probably a little bit more
06:22before i bought it but um
06:24it wants somebody to actually take it on
06:28spend some money having it resprayed
06:30just to take out the blemishes
06:31you know there's no fiberglass wings or anything
06:34it's all it's all metal
06:36everything's been done
06:37in the back by the uh the previous owner
06:41it's all solid
06:42um but like i say it'll make for a nice van
06:45it just just needs
06:46needs the body work doing
06:48for somebody who knows what they're doing
06:50you know
06:50it is a weekend's work
06:53here it goes
06:54let's see if we can start it
06:55it did start the other day
06:58get in
07:08there we go
07:09that's only about the fourth time i've ever started it
07:16realistically somewhere in the vicinity of 10 to 12 would be
07:20would be very nice
07:22yeah that would see my money back basically
07:32as always the buyers are spoiled for choice
07:36with vehicles from every corner of the planet
07:38yellow one there it's gamar rd400
07:42um 1977 model
07:45imported from the u.s. in 2020 and restored
07:49it was blue but we decided to do it in kenny roberts colors
07:52the latest to arrive
07:54a pair of pristine japanese two-wheelers
07:57and then the blue one we've got a kawasaki kh400 and s3
08:01yeah fantastic bike
08:03little bit bespoke that one because it's in ford blue
08:07it's not a kawasaki color
08:08and it's got oversized wheels
08:11simon shaw's brought them over from lancaster
08:14well the kawasaki the main thing
08:16it's a triple which means it's got three cylinders
08:18as opposed to that yamaha that's just two
08:21if you're following closely behind it'll spit oil and smoke at you
08:25which is what we like
08:27very very good for the environment by the way
08:34very nice lovely bikes
08:36i've already started both of them in just one
08:39resident motorbike expert sooty is all ears
08:42they are yeah
08:43the thing is you've done it you've done it once and you've done it right
08:46yeah yeah
08:47really they're too good to use aren't they
08:49the sort of thing they want to be on shore somewhere
08:51and be looked after
08:53the yamaha upwards of seven grand
08:56and the kawasaki similar but six grand
08:59yeah
09:00the thing on facebook saying about all these women
09:03you know what perfumes did they love
09:05and you know the smell that they couldn't get off their minds
09:08yeah
09:08and somebody else put on castrola
09:10you can't beat that
09:12no you can't you're right
09:14no that's what it's all about
09:16best enough to share about
09:16yeah
09:17yeah
09:18well i'd wear it if they sold it
09:27i'll get them off i think i might have a little look at that imp before i get it off
09:30so i think they might take a few tools out and jump pack and what have you
09:33a bit of easy start
09:34she'll she'll run
09:35before i get it off
09:37two little british classics have turned up at hq
09:40a hillman imp
09:42and an austin a30
09:43the imp won't start but derrick's up for a challenge
09:47head gasket's blown
09:48and i'll simply remember doing head gaskets in the morning
09:51don't take long
09:52it's just a bit fiddly
09:53they're a common thing to go anyway
09:55so i quite fancy having a look at it with a view to whipping the gasket on it
09:59not the same thing to do to me
10:01it's a lovely little car
10:07it's trying
10:09i'll give it a bit of help
10:11oh my god
10:12oh my god
10:14yeah of course we are
10:15bugger
10:17it's well off it is it
10:25yeah she just let some fire on all four is she
10:30i think she'll go in a minute
10:32yeah just gonna whip plugs out
10:33have a quick look
10:35they'll be soaking wet
10:37handy these little old things aren't they see
10:39you wouldn't get a socket and a plug spanner in there would you
10:43not bad
10:44it would be lovely if she busted her scent alive
10:48she's close
10:53nope
10:53we'll have to put battery on charge won't we
10:58that's a bit of a bugger that
10:59never mind
11:00what can you do
11:02with the imp remaining inert
11:04derrick gets gravity to give him a helping hand
11:06so i'm hoping with a bit of luck she'll roll off and roll down there
11:16i'll get that in there i think
11:32there's a bit of a
11:32oh what a car
11:35bit of a 30
11:38derrick's bumped into an old friend that's bounced back to pickering
11:42i went over to berry somewhere over that way and bought it the week that i lost me dad it
11:48always
11:48sticks in my mind never forget it you know you always remember what you've done on times like
11:52that that week or those few days and oh it's just so lovely i was so pleased to buy it
11:58and then we
11:59we ran it around a little bit went to a few shows and then put it in the museum area
12:04and some people came out and they said bye we fell in love with the
12:09austin i said yes so have i i'm not too bothered about selling it really i said but
12:13it's got to be top money to let it go
12:15they said what do you call top money
12:18i said i don't know eight grand i'll have it
12:21thought bloody hell
12:23you know not that i wanted any more but i didn't want him to buy it really i wanted to
12:26keep it
12:27yeah i'll have it but what a car oh it looks just the same as it did all them years
12:33ago i mean we're
12:33talking now 15 years ago or something like that long time it's a 30 an a30 four-door which again
12:41is
12:41pretty unusual look at it look look unbelievable fantastic fantastic condition the car i don't say
12:49this very often but just lately we've had some stuff in that i feel comfortable in saying it and i
12:54personally think that's the best in the world i do there's glimmier ones there's some out there
12:59when you open the bonnet well you want sunglasses and the rest of it but that don't make it better
13:03it just makes it glimmier and so beautiful car and then we've got the imp the little hillman imp
13:10which from same stable and it's lovely it's just lovely
13:15well we've spoken about imps before
13:17i think they're a better car than a mini sorry mini guys and i'll tell you what this is in
13:23lovely
13:23condition apart from the usual old problem head gasket's gone but look at that look how nice that
13:30is inside there absolutely lovely superb look at that look at that upholstery carpets dashboard
13:37again it's a belly dodger that wheel that's a belly dodger i mean opening that window for a start
13:45off i mean mini had nothing like this did it so basically the seat goes down you've got a little
13:50estate car i know i shouldn't say this but i actually prefer that to the austin oh i know

20:44i've got fear for this
21:01the showrooms open and the browsers are in shopping mode
21:06oh loads of cars in fact if he's in a museum he says i've had that i've had that i've
21:10had that
21:11it's easier if he said which ones he didn't have
21:16i originally started working on lawn mowers because there's even less of those then i went
21:20on to bikes and then i went on to cars and then i kept buying them and i've got nowhere
21:24to put them
21:25so they're now in fields and all sorts of stuff i will get around to doing them just eventually i
21:30don't
21:30know when remember you thought a year ago guys it used to have it's great to see i used to
21:37have a capri
21:37when they were 20. white capri over there it's a police car belter beautiful
21:43while the punters work out what they can spend a car from 1986 has tipped up that stopped quite
21:50a few of them in their tracks
21:55a little suzuki paul it's going to be said every now and again there's a car that comes in yes
22:01everybody goes look at that yes look at that yes and even and and this time
22:11it seems to be a little sj410 and i think we've all gone oh look at that for for a
22:18couple of reasons
22:18one you don't see them anymore do you two it's a very special little sj410 and three we've all had
22:28them and had so much fun with them you know in my youth when i was still at school we
22:33had a firm up
22:34up in dolby had an off-road driving center and i would work up there on an evening on a
22:39weekend and
22:40all the rest of it evenings were very often spent fixing them and then weekends were spent driving
22:45them i cut my teeth on them really and we had so much fun
22:53in the land of the rising sun they've always thought differently about their motors suzuki's
22:59sj410 is a case in point let's mass produce a jeep and make it an on and off-road trailblazer
23:07suzuki's jeep heritage stretches back to the 1970s when the lj series hit the hills engines were beefed
23:15for the international market though the interiors remained agricultural the gymni was able to switch
23:20between two and four wheel drive whilst on the move and by the time the more executive vitara arrived
23:27suzuki's status as an innovator of 4x4 excellence had been well and truly written
23:40engines apparently were motorcycle derived they weren't brisking with power and indeed we all then
23:46progressed into the 413s which had a 1300 you see they had a lot more going them but these were
23:51nice
23:52and low geared and they went really well you would be amazed where that little jeep would take you
23:58you don't see any of them really do you don't anymore no you don't i mean that was they were
24:04good for two things weren't they off-road and rotting yes usually at the same time and in harmony yeah
24:12yeah i think it has actually had quite a bit of work but boy it has been done well yeah
24:17i suspect it's
24:19that same old thing in it you've got to find the man who wants one haven't you it might do
24:24somewhere
24:25seven to ten mightn't it i can't see it getting in double figures can you not no brilliant quirky
24:31little jeep i think it's lovely absolutely lovely and i hope it does more money than i think i hope
24:35i'm wrong i like to be proven wrong in this scenario obviously because obviously oh i'm never wrong you
24:40know but yeah this is a nice car this has got the makings of a proper car this one there

27:03all my life really i mean and the same with jack they've been in it a long time now the
27:08lads i think
27:08it's just wonderful for you know it's wonderful for me it's even better for them tell you what don't
27:13be morbid and silly about it but the more these guys do the happier i am at the end of
27:20my life to think
27:21i've seen it you know i'm so so lucky only lucky that's all it is i'm dead lucky and after
27:28those
27:28warm words the boss is soon back on the warpath and i wish someone wouldn't keep putting their
27:34bloody fingers all over it i hate finger marks on cars i'll keep saying to people look with your eyes
27:39not with your fingers you won't see anything with your fingers all you do is annoy me morris minor van
27:47but bas is on austin and all that is it was the nationalized industry wouldn't buy morris they
27:51wanted to buy austin i think every small business probably ran a morris minor van if they didn't run
27:57a morris minor van we run a 100e van and we run 100e vans in our butchery firm simply because
28:03they
28:03were cheaper if you look at the side of the van they're a high volume van look how high they
28:08are for
28:08start off they're a real purposeful van whereas 100e vans for argument's sake finished along there
28:14so you've got that much extra for a start off they were possibly a tiny bit shorter so the actual
28:20load
28:20area in a morris minor van is quite significant really good and because the running gear is superb
28:26i mean 100e vans side valves engine is old-fashioned gone finished three-speed gearbox whereas up against
28:32these when you could afford a morris minor van you bought one you got you got like the overhead valve
28:37engine four speed gearbox and such like much more serviceable van really and here we are the little
28:42a-series engine beautiful little engine you can't go wrong with that um old-fashioned su fuel pump but
28:48it was a good old pump and when it packed up and got a bit tired you know they they
28:53would all of a
28:54sudden think i've had enough i'm not going to pump any more fuel today i've had enough and you get
28:58out
28:58with a spanner or a starting handle and give them a whack and say all right i'll get go again
29:02and
29:02off they go and that's brilliant um you know if this was looking mint it could do 15 grand as
29:08it
29:08is at the moment wanting two grounds of paintwork you'll probably buy it for 10. not bad business
29:14is it and with a little bit of work you can turn it into a 15 grand man in the
29:21office they're getting
29:22ready for another day of hectic selling it's been very popular because it's already got bids on it
29:28and the suzuki jeep is bringing back four-wheel drive memories if you're in two-wheel driving
29:34in your four-wheel drive and it says you had to get out and like engage your hubs so you're
29:39already
29:39in a load of mud and a load of crap and then you had to get out and sort the
29:43hubs out before you can
29:43then put your car in four-wheel drive and like what's all that about you remember that paul yeah
29:47you're absolutely right you would find yourself in a bit of a dilemma and think oh out we get yeah
29:53yeah
29:55yeah yeah then they became automated yeah we've already got bids at 11.3 so it's going to go well
30:02it's going to fly oh this is the suzuki i would go as far as to say one of the
30:10cleanest nicest
30:12little sj's that you're going to find anywhere absolutely when i saw it coming in the internet
30:16i said i'm having that then i looked at it so it's going to make too much money for me
30:20that's
30:20just like a 5 000 mile time warp or is it a fully restored car it's lovely absolutely stunning i
30:27think

31:41thank you thank you richard thank you guy you'll be over the moon with that the suzuki has romped way
31:47past its 11 grand estimate it did really well didn't it you know it did far more than i thought
31:53it was going
31:53to do if i'm completely honest but it was one of those vehicles find another one go out you could
32:00spend all year and you won't find one any better absolutely no way
32:22they were always traditionally known as morris weren't they and then i think the two companies
32:26merged austin morris obviously on the hbi check that we've done it's come up as an austin van but in
32:32the
32:32even in the description we've called it a morris six morris 600 weight really neat and tidy inside
32:38it's a clean example is that austin 600 weight van engine suite is a note once setting up but it's
32:48got the makings of a lovely van so we got six thousand pound and we're away six thousand pounds
32:54six two fifty we're a little shy on reserve guys six two fifty six five there we go oh it's
33:00not doing
33:00very well either bless it six seven fifty seven seven yeah that's smart like it i think he wants nine
33:1010 10 ish um which to be fair it should do it um because it's we sort of explained it
33:18when we were
33:18there um that it's not quite concast level it's a good user level but it won't take that much to
33:28reach that gap yep eight five he does eight thousand five hundred he says it just keeps creeping
33:33all right we're only 500 off at the minute
33:41eight thousand six hundred eight seven eight seven eight eight eight eight eight thousand eight hundred
33:48eight nine eight nine he says one more it's on sale just eight thousand nine hundred eight thousand
33:54nine hundred nine thousand on sale brilliant it's not coming my way do you want nine one out yeah
34:01nine one it's gonna keep going like this all day in it i want to get home for my tea
34:04tonight
34:07giving everyone chance nine one sold to alan on the telephone thank you very much
34:13thank you so it's sold above its reserve so we don't need to contact the vendor there'll be an
34:31invoice going out to first news bed and then give us your money it's a very nice van yes let's
34:38have a
34:39look and see and with the cash handed over a few days later jacqueline and barry taylor have arrived
34:44from west yorkshire to take their moggy home or maybe not and i don't think this is going to drive
34:52with that clutch we'll just try it out there's about an inch of movement there hopefully it will serve
35:00as well but we'll have to see if we can get it home first
35:11and in other what went where news the two japanese motorbikes were ultimately bought by jack
35:16partisan and the more observant will have spotted that he's given the kawasaki a new paint job
35:22it's back in its original candy green the stuttering imp has jumped back into life thanks to new owner
35:29john strong and the pristine low mileage suzuki jeep that soared past its reserve has landed in guernsey
35:37where it's been lovingly tended to by guida roy
35:48what attracted me to this particular vehicle was i had one as a toy car when i was a kid
35:55a little corgi car or dinky toy i think it was and my auntie joan gave me one i was
36:00about six years
36:01of age and i looked at that car and i thought oh if i could only own one of them
36:06and uh i bought it
36:09gerald huganin is supersizing his childhood in the form of derrick's full-scale if rather petite austin a30
36:17the steering wheel of the vehicle was changed prior to me owning the car i'll squeeze inside
36:29if i breathe in it's not too bad i can just about do it but not with the original steering
36:35wheel
36:36it's a bit tight i just thought i'd be able to get in and move the seat back and give
36:40myself extra room but
36:42it's a fixed seat so unfortunately i'm gonna have to keep this steering wheel for now i will be on
36:48a
36:49diet and i will lose some weight and hopefully i'll put the original one on that's me plan
36:55we've got a heater which is absolutely amazing we've got windscreen wipers two lovely little chrome ones
37:02this is the windscreen washer not too sure what that is it's all new to me at the moment
37:09the austin is the latest addition to a growing collection i've got a 1928 austin chummy which is
37:17in my office actually and on my desk i've got a 1975 yamaha fs1e and i've got a 1966 daimler
37:27which is
37:28beautiful and i absolutely love it to pieces as well as my 1966 morris minor pickup truck i could have
37:38an oil painting i could wear a rolex watch but i don't own anything like that i love looking at
37:44things of beauty and things of beauty to me are machines i always had my mind on purchasing an austin
37:52a30 i'm not the best person in the world for doing up vehicles so i'd like to try and buy
37:58a vehicle
37:58already done so this one was ready to roll and that's what made me purchase it the interior is
38:05absolutely amazing it's the best interior i've seen 57 years old it's absolutely lovely in fact i'm going
38:15to sit in the back now would be the first time me sitting in the back see what it's like
38:21oh dear
38:25it's not bad it's quite comfortable beautiful interior absolutely gorgeous yeah i didn't even
38:34know that happened look the seat goes up i didn't realize that happened so that's handy
38:41anyone in getting in there getting out might be a problem definitely is a problem
38:59it's not like a modern day car breaking you give yourself plenty of stopping distance and and just
39:06drive them very carefully
39:09my favorite thing on the austin a30 is i always wanted a vehicle with flip out indicators and
39:18absolutely amazing flip out the indicators left or right although i get them around the wrong way
39:23sometimes but it's the little thing i like because there's no power steering the steering is a bit
39:30heavier but it's nice and tight and it drives well i have had a look around and i believe this
39:39vehicle
39:40is the best in the country and there's nothing with the same quality of this vehicle so i'm really
40:00pleased with it
40:01yeah oh listen to that yeah sounds all right
40:08living yesteryear's pace of life really but as long as it gets you from here to be
40:17it's going fast enough down here there's going to be no rest for the little austin moggy van
40:24it's got a job to do to help me look after horses
40:27new owners barry and jacqueline taylor are making their new workhorse do a bit more equine related
40:33graft hello berlin all right it's all right bad got some bread it won't fit that many
40:41bales in and they go through quite a lot in winter time but if i can be independent through summer
40:47just keep going and getting a few um it frees barry up yeah so it'll be good
40:56the tailors are no strangers to having a moggy in the family
40:59i bought one when i was about 13. i'm sure it was two pound that i paid for it
41:06and i run it around the fields as a rally car and put rotor number on the side and run
41:11it for six
41:12months and then scrapped it for in old money 10 bob 10 shillings or 50p in modern day money me
41:19dad had a
41:20morris minor traveler he bought it brand new year i was born so it's my first memory of a car
41:27and i
41:28used to sit on my mom's knee in front looking out that little triangle window that opened up front so
41:33i've got a bit of soft spot for him like and when we said oh shall we get that i
41:38said yeah i'll go
41:39halves with you for one of them like with the clutch sorted and a new exhaust it's all been minor
41:45fettling to get the car up and running new distributor cap here points and condenser in that
41:51ht lead working fine new air filter freed up and um set the carburetor this era of technology
42:00was just on its way out when i was working as an apprentice mechanic so that's given me a big
42:05enough insight to maintain this era of car and this era of technology you paid how much for it
42:13nine one
42:18anyway we got it and i can't reach pedals
42:23and the seat's got two positions and the most forward position i still can't reach pedals and i put
42:29my foot on clutch and i end up sliding back so i've got a big fat cushion that i put
42:36up my back
42:37and then i'm fine i'm fine with that so i've got got it sorted as long as i've got him
42:45to look after
42:46it mechanically because i ain't got a clue i think as you get a little bit older you get a
42:53little bit
42:53sentimental over what put great in great britain and it was the old car industry the old bike industry
43:00and the old you know steelworks as you know so apart from the actual physical vehicle it's the area
43:08that it was built in that i get um quite sort of sentimental about if you like yeah takes a
43:15few
43:15boxes doesn't it really and if it's reliable and it does a job i'll be happy
43:20i don't really think
43:21so
