07:53تسطلق بها وعلى هدفة وعلى
07:57But before Bond put Aston Martin on screen
07:59007's vehicle of choice
08:01Was a Lakewood Blue Sunbeam Alpine Series 2
08:04Driven by Sean Connery
08:06And Dr No on location in Jamaica
08:08And sealing its 60s Brit-style legacy
08:16If you look inside the car
08:18There's the remains of a second engine
08:20So I'm guessing there's that kind of issue
08:23I suspect it may have been
08:25That he'd just, you know, he'd found a problem with it
08:27And then it just never got fixed
08:29We've got, I think, a gearbox here
08:33I think that's a gear stick there
08:35All sorts of stuff
08:39We've also got another window from the back
08:41The same as this
08:42We don't know where the key for this car is
08:45I'm hoping it's in here
08:46But I've not been able to get in
08:47Because of all this other stuff that's in here
08:49The Daimler's got keys
08:50The Sunbeam, we're not sure
08:52So hopefully once we're in here
08:54And we're clearing this stuff out
08:55It'll be in the ignition
08:58I suppose the Daimler's a more niche thing
09:00Because it's not got that sexy cool aspect of the Jaguar
09:03I suppose it's kind of like a Jaguar minus the sex appeal, I guess
09:06It's got this really, really pristine Connolly leather in it
09:09And this beautiful walnut dash
09:11It's nice seeing kind of analogue dashboards these days
09:15With so many different dials
09:17We're not heavy on dials in cars these days
09:20It's got quite an early computer in
09:22But all it really would do is tell you how many miles per gallon you were doing
09:26And it was really scary
09:28Because the most you ever got was about 12
09:29But quite often you'd be seeing it doing
09:31You'd be doing four miles per gallon
09:33Six miles per gallon
09:34It's a 4.2
09:36I suppose it's a lot bigger than most cars these days
09:38With the Daimler, I don't think it'll make a lot
09:41I mean, people were sort of suggesting like 500 to 1,000
09:44That's, you know, it's not to be sneezed at
09:46The Alpine, although they're an old car
09:49And, you know, they're very attractive
09:51They don't hold super value
09:53So I suspect with that, you know, maybe 2,500, 3,000
09:57I think even when it's done up
09:59It's not going to be worth a ton of money
10:01But hopefully somebody will love it
10:03It's going to be a challenge today
10:04The street outside is quite narrow
10:06The driveway is quite narrow down the bottom
10:10So I'm anticipating we could have a few problems
10:13The tyres are flat to the ground on both cars
10:16Hopefully they'll take some air
10:17And we'll be able to pull them out
10:18But we'll see
10:19It's going to be a bit of an adventure, I think
10:36Can you pack an alpaca?
10:38Oh, I'm loving this, this is brilliant
10:43Look out the window
10:44Which window?
10:45Office window
10:47Back in Pickering
10:48It's not just full-sized Classics turning heads
10:50Sometimes the tiniest wheels
10:53Create the biggest thrill
10:56Oh, with you
10:57Oh, that's reverse
10:58Oh, no, no, no
11:00Oh, oh, oh
11:02Oh, yours is faster
11:04Oh, no
11:05I didn't want to crash into you
11:09This has got, like, loads of power
11:11I don't know it, I don't know why
11:12I know
11:12I know
11:16Sorry, my bad
11:20Grandad, do you want the rides?
11:21Go in the back
11:22I love it
11:22Speed bump
11:25Iris, come here
11:27Oh, no, straight off
11:28That was really good
11:30I mean, me and Emily are going to take these home, I think
11:32Might take us a while
11:34How long do you think?
11:3515 miles home, isn't it?
11:39Yeah
11:39At about...
11:4010 miles an hour
11:42Yeah
11:51As the old saying goes
11:53We're as mucked as brass
11:54And taking pride of place in the showroom
11:57Is a barn find
11:58Vauxhall Viva
12:00It's the first time I've looked at this
12:01Rare bit of kit, this
12:03Bags of potential
12:04Those of you who are perhaps a little bit more observant
12:06Will notice that there's a radiator missing
12:08Apparently that is in the boat
12:10Oh, is it?
12:11That's quite clean in there
12:12Look at all this, look
12:13Still got stickers on there
12:14I tell you what
12:15Someone spent some money on this
12:17Oh, it says it all, didn't it
12:18Owned by the current owner for 36 years
12:20They are
12:20You can tell straight away
12:22It underwent an extensive and expensive restoration
12:24Between the 80s and 90s
12:25There you go
12:27I thought I'd do this for a living, didn't I, really?
12:29Oh, this'll do all right, this
12:31What a proper little car
12:32It takes a fair bit to impress me
12:34I wouldn't say I've seen it all
12:36But I've seen a fair bit
12:37And normally speaking, I'm disappointed
12:39Because people's descriptions of the
12:41Cars tend to be
12:43They get a little bit romantic with them, don't they?
12:44And they get a bit personal with them
12:46And then you grow old with them
12:47And you tend to forget
12:49What is actually out there and available
12:52I tell you what
12:53What a proper little car
12:54I know she wants some paint
12:55Look, she's all
12:56She's on
12:57But it's only surfaced up, isn't it?
12:58It's nothing major, is it?
12:59Honestly, I think it's worth
13:01First impressions
13:01I may be way out
13:02I haven't even looked at the guide
13:03I'll have a look at the guide
13:04After I've opened my mouth
13:05I think
13:0620 grand
13:08But the current owner
13:10Doesn't have diva demands
13:11For his Viva
13:12And has set the guide
13:13At half that price
13:158 to 10
13:16Really?
13:20I'm amazed
13:21Oh well
13:22We'll see who's nearer on the day, won't we?
13:24I've just opened my big mouth
13:25And said 20, haven't I?
13:26Do you know what?
13:278 to 10,000 pounds
13:28There should be an orderly queue
13:29Of people waiting to see this car
13:30You wait
13:31I reckon that'll be a bit of a sleeper, that
13:32Well, put it this way
13:34If that comes at 8 grand
13:34It's going in my garage
13:35Going in my garage for 8 grand?
13:38We're all going to be lined up, aren't we?
13:39Right, anyone got 8 grand
13:41Everyone's hands are going to go like that, aren't they?
13:42Everyone in the production crew
13:44All the office staff
13:45All the guys that come in
13:46And girls who come in on the telephones
13:48And the rest of it
13:48Even if they're not remotely interested in Vivas
13:50If they've got any savvy
13:51They're all going to go
13:52Whoa, aren't they?
13:53Yeah, yeah, yeah
14:02Father and son duo
14:04Paul and Charlie
14:05Have arrived in Northampton
14:06To collect the Sunbeam Alpine
14:08And the Daimler
14:09That belong to Richard's father
14:12Hello
14:13Hello
14:14Right, mate, well, we're in
14:15That was the hard bit
14:16So, how long they've been stood then, mate?
14:18That's been there since 1973
14:20No
14:20Yep, that's been there since about 2002
14:25Long time
14:26We might have some sticky breaks then, eh?
14:28I would imagine so
14:30Yeah, so would I
14:32I'm hoping we can just pull it straight out, straight on
14:36We might have to go this side
14:37And try and pull it away from the wall
14:39Seeing how they're going to get it out
14:41Is going to be interesting
14:41Because that's been what I've been more worried about
14:44Than anything, I suppose
14:45Is how you actually do it
14:47How are you getting it, son?
14:49There's an engine and a gearbox
14:50Oh, is there?
14:53Oh, yeah, it's busy in there, isn't it?
14:55It is
14:56Just hold it this way, as it slides
14:57Despite the flat tyres and sticky brakes
15:01The Sunbeam finally sees
15:03Well, Sunbeams
15:04For the first time in 52 years
15:07Yeah, it looks really good
15:09Bit of weekend work
15:10Yeah
15:13Back tyres are gone
15:14I hope it clears
15:21Put them on again, Charlie
15:22They know what they're doing, don't they?
15:24Amazing
15:26These are British Airways Light Crew shirts
15:29Probably from the 1980s, I would imagine
15:33All empty
15:40I think to say it's been in there
15:42Longer than he's been alive
15:45I think that's came out pretty well, to be fair
15:47I think it kept well
15:49It's not all rotten and horrible
15:52Obviously it's going to have a little bit in it
15:53But it's not horrendous
15:56It's not quite mini Cooper S rotten
15:58When you sell it, does it go looking like this
16:00Covered in dust?
16:01It'll sort of depend really on how much of that's left on it
16:05By the time I get back, you know
16:06Yeah
16:07That one will probably be better left like that
16:10Yeah
16:10Just as it was left
16:12As a project
16:12Yes
16:13The Sovereign, perhaps, that might be beneficial to have at wash
16:16While getting the Sunbeam out was a doddle
16:18There was an unfortunate casualty
16:21He just destroyed the table I made in woodwork when I was 12
16:2512 years old when I made that
16:27Is that right?
16:28Yeah
16:31With what's left of the sentimental table safely stowed
16:34It's time for the potentially dramatic Daimler departure
16:39Why is this going to be tripping?
16:40Because it's a Daimler double six
16:44Because they were too high and it's going to bottom out
16:45Because you know how low they are
16:47They're definitely not a compressor, isn't they?
16:49I have a shot
16:50Basically, I'm not going to name any names
16:52Derek took the compressor out
16:55So we've got to load it with flat tyres
16:58But obviously with flat tyres
17:00It's an inch and a half, two inch lower than it should be
17:03What we're trying to do
17:04Is make that back of the lorry as low as we can
17:07For less of an angle
17:08So that will go on there without bottoming out
17:13It is free actually
17:14Yeah, yeah
17:15Straighten up
17:19Yeah
17:24I think that's about your lot, mate
17:26I don't think I want to be any more
17:27The most interest I think is going to be caused by the Sunbeam
17:31The old Daimler's lovely
17:32But, as we all know
17:34Not massive money
17:35Because it's the easier one to do, of course
17:37But the more valuable one at the end of the day
17:39Is the Sunbeam
17:40A couple of grand a piece, I would have thought
17:42I don't think the Daimler's going to do any more
17:43Shame in it because it's a nice old car
17:45And I don't think the Sunbeam's going to do any more either
17:47To be honest
17:48It's crazy seeing the cars hanging up in the air like that
17:52We haven't got any low bridges, have we?
17:56Right
17:57Well, I'll shut your hand now
17:58Oh, thank you
17:59It's been lovely
17:59We'll be blocking the road again
18:02Cheers, Paul
18:03Cheers, Charlie
18:04Thank you very much
18:05It's the sort of start of the end of an era
18:08Quite a strange situation
18:23With the usual variety of lots on display
18:26Prospective buyers are taking the browsing business
18:28Very seriously
18:30What attracts you to it?
18:32I just want a project really
18:33And I'd want something that's fairly easy to do
18:36And this looks like a good candidate
18:38And you don't see many of these knocking around
18:40That's another attraction for it really, you know
18:42Say you were to buy it, what would be the first thing you'd do on it?
18:46I'd get it running, make sure it's pretty safe
18:48And I'd use it
18:49Not get it clean?
18:50Well, yeah, clean this one, obviously, yeah
19:01The auctions are rattling through
19:04And the dusty old Vauxhall is proving you shouldn't judge a book by its cover
19:08The Viva GT, complete time warp
19:12An unbelievably rewarding project for someone
19:1514,000 to 14,005
19:1715,000
19:19Currently at £15,500
19:22At £16,000
19:25£16,500
19:26£16,500
19:27£17,000
19:29But look, it's got four exit tailpipes, look
19:32That's just so you can lift it up like a wheelbarrow
19:36How rude, how rude
19:38£17,500
19:39£18,000
19:41It's £18,000
19:42So that's far surpassed what we thought it would do
19:44I thought it'd do £15,000
19:45I do rate that car, though
19:47That's a lot of money for a Viva, innit?
19:50Are we all finished then?
19:51At £18,000 then for the first
19:54£18,000 for the second

20:08£18,250
20:10Wowzers
20:10There you go, I told you
20:12I like that car, didn't I?
20:13There you go, it just proves it, doesn't it?
20:14Brilliant, well done
20:19Next up, the multi-purpose miniatures
20:22Pumpkin picking
20:24It could be for Dave
20:25Dave's mobility
20:27Dave, do you want this?
20:29It's got your name on it
20:30I know, it's great, isn't it?
20:31You were driving it, weren't you?
20:33Yeah, me and Amy were sat on it
20:35We test drove them
20:37So we know the work
20:38And the batteries are good
20:39We were actually really shocked
20:40At how quickly they went
20:41And they were, like, quite, like
20:43They went straight away
20:44The three-inch scale
20:46Sentinel Steam Wagon
20:47Battery-powered lorry
20:48With trailer
20:49It's lovely, isn't it?
20:51What a cracking bit of kit
20:52Start me on
20:53£500 I've got
20:54£500 away
20:56Then £550
20:56600, 600, 600, 650
20:58£700
20:59Third and last time
21:01Provisional keys
21:02£700
21:03And as for its party pal
21:063-inch scale AEC Matador
21:09battery-powered lorry with a car
21:11whereabouts 500, 550, 600, 600 pounds
21:16600 pounds all done then provisionally 600
21:19The offer wasn't accepted
21:21but it went on to sell at the timed auction
21:24for 650 pounds
21:38Jack, you're not Derek
21:39No, only to be started by Derek
21:43Dare I start it? What's going to happen?
21:50Isn't Derek looking younger these days?
21:53Younger? Better look
21:55I mean, look at him, leaping out of that car
21:57like there's no tomorrow on me knee
22:04With his ears burning
22:06Grandad and his knee are outside in the yard
22:09Well, here we have
22:11XJ6 Daimler version, top of the shop
22:13Brilliant car
22:14Oh, I love them
22:15I just absolutely love XJ6s
22:19I know a lot of people are not going to like this
22:21and not going to agree with me
22:22but motor dealers will
22:24And we used to say
22:25an XJ6 is the best driving car on the road
22:28in the 1970s and 80s
22:30No question about it
22:31Nothing drove like an XJ6
22:34Mercedes, Rolls-Royce, don't care what
22:36Nothing drove like these
22:38And what I mean by that
22:39is that they drive as smooth as a Rolls-Royce
22:41They drive as quietly as a Rolls-Royce
22:43but they handle better than a Rolls-Royce
22:45It's as simple as that
22:46And a Mercedes
22:47You can jazz them about
22:49You can fly about with them
22:50round the roundabouts
22:51in round the corners
22:52and they're perfect for in London
22:54because you can jazz them about
22:56They're just lovely
22:57I love them to bits
22:58I'll have another one one day
22:59if I live long enough
23:00to actually use an everyday car
23:02because I was fortunate
23:03that I use these four days a week
23:05going into London auctions
23:07The drive home
23:08and the unwinding of your mind
23:10and the relaxation
23:10was all down to one of these
23:12So I can't speak highly enough
23:14So what did Daimler add to it
23:18to make it such an amazing car?
23:20Oh, nothing
23:20Nothing
23:20It's cosmetic only
23:21Cosmetic
23:22Silly things
23:23You know, better trim
23:23Slightly different grille and emblems
23:25and very little difference at all
23:27The rumour has it
23:28that when it came to mark two Jags
23:30I can't speak for XJs
23:31Guys used to tell me
23:32that they'd pick about
23:33every one in ten
23:35mark twos off the line
23:36and turn it into a Daimler
23:38and they then refined them
23:39and they added on the Daimler extras
23:41and they became a Daimler
23:42but the same car
23:43It's alright
23:44Nice straight car
23:45Yeah, as soon as it came in
23:46I thought that's a real
23:47honest level car
23:47Look how nice and straight
23:49Door skins are
23:50Lovely
23:50I mean, this could be 18 months old
23:52You know, it's great
23:53Interiors, lovely
23:54Bit of wear on the driver's seat
23:56Beautiful dashboard
23:57Oh, to die for, isn't it?
23:59Yeah, it's got 07
24:00It's probably been around the clock
24:02107,000
24:03You wouldn't have thought so
24:03Would you really?
24:04But all this is all the same
24:05So it makes no difference
24:06whether you buy a Jag or a Daimler
24:07But I could live with this car
24:09The more I look round it
24:10It'll make a lovely car
24:11If you see a speckling on the chrome
24:12Look
24:12It'll come off
24:13Yeah, look
24:14It's coming off
24:14I've got rough fingers
24:15I've got rough fingers
24:16And I look
24:17I've got fingers like a bit of wild wool
24:19And I look
24:19There it is
24:21If it was all cleaned up
24:22And presented as nice as it could be
24:24I think the motor could fetch
24:26Somewhere between
24:27Four and five grand
24:28As it at the moment
24:29I think it's going to offer
24:30Around the three grand mark
24:31Three to four
24:33Make a cracking car, that
24:41Rumbling into Pickering HQ
24:43Is Mick Newton's Teutonic Titan
24:47Morning
24:48Morning, how are you, Paul?
24:49Alright
24:50I'm going down memory lane, aren't I?
24:52I used to
24:53In my youth
24:54A long time ago
24:55That's long as mine
24:57No, it ain't as long as yours
24:59I used one
25:00A fair bit
25:01Up at Langdale
25:02I spent hours and hours and hours
25:04Running around the woods and stuff
25:05I spent hours in it this morning
25:06Getting up here
25:07Did you?
25:08Where have you come from?
25:09Cheshire, Macclesfield
25:10Have you?
25:11Yeah, and I'm ready for a sleep
25:12Yeah, you'd be fed up with it
25:13Yeah, I am
25:14It might be cheap now then
25:15Oh, Christ, man
25:18Yeah, what's it do
25:19About 45?
25:20It's come up with a 64 at 45
25:22Yeah
25:23How long we had it then, Mick?
25:24About two years, I think
25:25So what have you been doing with it then?
25:28I've always liked them
25:29To fund it
25:29Two tractors had to go
25:31Yeah
25:31And a Series 3
25:32Long wheelbase Land Rover
25:34But it's a bit heavy for my ground, really
25:36So it's just been a toy
25:37It's been a toy
25:38Yeah
25:39But now I've got to cast the toy in
25:40How are we valuing it, Mick?
25:42I think we'll discuss that later, right?
25:43Oh, are we?
25:44Yeah, yeah
25:44When you've calmed down
25:45Yeah
25:46And had a cup of tea, no doubt
25:48Yeah, black
25:48Leave the bag in
25:49Well, I think it's grand
25:50Good
25:51Well, I think we ought to get the kettle on
25:52When I'm sat down
25:53You'll have to tell me how much it is, won't you?
25:55Yeah, that's right, yeah
25:56Yeah
25:56All right
25:57Do you have sugar?
25:58No, no
25:59No
25:59No, no sugar
26:02Looking inside
26:02I don't think I've ever seen one of these before
26:04It looks fairly basic
26:06Yeah, they are basic
26:07They're a bit heavy going, yeah
26:08But it is quite old
26:10It's not like a modern thing, is it?
26:11What do they drive like?
26:13Very heavy
26:13But good fun
26:14You don't see them every day, do you?
26:16You certainly don't
26:17No
26:18You've driven up from Macclesfield this morning
26:20I have
26:20What's the journey like?
26:22Look, any cruise control, isn't there?
26:23Cruise control?
26:24No, you've just got to have a big right foot
26:26No cruise control, I'm afraid, no
26:28No electric windows?
26:30No electric windows?
26:32Not yet
26:33Somebody will convert it, perhaps
26:35Go right off it with no electric windows
26:37Eh?
26:38Oh, bloody hell
26:39Yeah
26:39Might as well take it home, then
26:40Well
26:41Well, you're here now, aren't you?
26:43You got a cup of tea in here, Mick?
26:45Oh, that'll do
26:47Over a cuppa
26:47An estimate of between 15,000 and 16,000 is agreed
26:52Are you going to miss it?
26:53Yeah, I probably will, actually, yeah
26:55Yeah
26:56And I've got to go home on the damn bus
26:57Because I've lost my train pass
26:59And my wife can't come and pick me up
27:01Because she's looking after our grandchildren today
27:05So I've got to find my own way home
27:06It's going to be a long day for you, isn't it?
27:08It is, yeah
27:09You're all right, we'll have a beer when we get back
27:19While Paul's been reacquainted with an old friend
27:22Another arrival turns out to be a buddy of Derrick's
27:26I love them
27:26I used to love these when I was a lad, like
27:28And the reason I loved them
27:29Is because we couldn't afford to deal in MGBs
27:31They were too dear
27:32But we could afford to deal in Alpines
27:34So they were a second-rate, cheaper sports car
27:37Do you know what?
27:38They've remained that way all the way through
27:39Right till now
27:40And it's such a shame
27:41Because they're a lovely car to drive
27:43This is the last one with the high fins
27:45Which I like
27:46When they went on to the next model
27:47They cut the fins down
27:48They were noticeably lower down
27:50Not so prominent as this
27:52Which actually went down very, very well
27:54When a few years later
27:55They do the facelift model
27:57It's even better
27:59It would appear
27:59People like it more, you know
28:01They go out and buy it
28:02Because it's the current model
28:03But now
28:04Now
28:05We all want the high fins again
28:07Just about all American cars in the 50s
28:09In the 60s and early 70s
28:11Had fins
28:12And of course we did, didn't we?
28:13You know
28:14The PA Cresters
28:15The Zephyrs and Zodiacs
28:16And all the rest of it
28:17We all had fins
28:18There was a craze in actual fact
28:19In the mid-late 50s
28:21If something like a Mark 1 Zephyr or Zodiac
28:24Which didn't actually have fins
28:25It was rounded off
28:26You could buy fins to stick on
28:29And loads of people did
28:31And to be honest
28:32They look pretty good
28:33I can see them now
28:33Dress them up
28:34Quite a bit of partage in there
28:36Yeah, yeah
28:37We've got a fair bit
28:38Yeah, there's a pair of carburetors in there
28:39I can see
28:41Manifold and what have you
28:42I can only assume
28:43It's all there
28:44I'd love to get stuck into this
28:45This is my sort of thing
28:46This is a retirement project
28:48But I've got so many of them
28:49I can't ever take any more
28:50But oh yeah
28:51This is an easy job
28:52Isn't it?
28:53It's a dead straightforward easy job
28:55Nice car
28:56Got a lot of potential
28:56This car
28:57Who is going to buy this car?
28:59Almost certainly
29:00Someone who had one
29:01In the 70s
29:03It could even go as much as four
29:05But I somehow doubt it
29:06I think it would be around the three grand mark
29:08So there you go
29:09Got the makings of a nice car
29:14Sunbeam Alpine
29:14What a car
29:15It's going to make a right car
29:16This will be
29:17Here we go then
29:182,700 quid we've got
29:192,800 pound on sale

30:04Third and last time
30:05St Albans
30:055,1
30:07There you go
30:08Well done
30:085,1
30:09The Sunbeam
30:10The Sunbeam Alpine
30:11Is off to a novice mechanic
30:12In St Albans
30:13Who's had it on his dream car list
30:181983
30:18Damn the stainless sovereign
30:20Me and dad picked this up
30:21Came from the same stable
30:23As that red Alpine
30:25This has been stood
30:26Since about 2,000ish
30:28There you are
30:28Charlie and Paul collected it
30:30The other day
30:30Then it's a 4.2 there
30:32Where are we going to be on that?
30:33We've got three
30:33We've got four
30:34We've got five
30:34We've got 600 pound bid
30:36700, 800 pound
30:38At the back
30:38900 on the internet
30:39I saw their will
30:40At 1,000 pound
30:41Then a bid on the internet
30:42Jack you're out
30:44Internet's in at 1,000 pound
30:45I'm going to sell
30:46That's about its money
30:47To be fair
30:471,000 pound
30:49And have we all done

30:511,200 pound

30:571,300
31:001,300
31:011,300 a pound
31:02Not a bad practice for it
31:04To be fair
31:04To say it's been stood
31:05All that time
31:07When you look underneath
31:08There you go
31:09There you go
31:10There you go
31:10There you go
31:10There you go
31:10There you go
31:10There you go
31:11There you go
31:11There you go
31:27Did well
31:30Pickering land
31:31A place where dreams
31:32Really can come true
31:34And for Paul
31:35A chance to relive his youth
31:37Why are we so fond of them?
31:39Because in my youth
31:41I don't know what I would have been
31:42About 14 I think
31:44And a guy called Andy
31:46Created the Langdale Quest
31:47Which was the UK's
31:49Largest off-road site
31:51And he created
31:53An off-road driving school centre
31:55In 10,000 acres of Langdale Forest
31:57As he got a little bit more established
32:00And bigger and all the rest of it
32:01He bought a Unimog
32:02And it was something that Elias wanted
32:04And I was pleased to say
32:05I was entrusted with it
32:07Not everyone was
32:08And I was very careful with it
32:10And I loved it
32:11You know, you were king of the road
32:12It was a bigger one than this
32:13Put three Jeeps on the back
32:15And I was gone
32:16Brilliant
32:17Loved every minute
32:18Every hour
32:20Fabulous
32:20And it just sets a seed
32:22Doesn't it
32:22And then, you know
32:23One comes along
32:24And you think
32:25And you probably shouldn't
32:28Because it's probably
32:28Going to shatter dreams
32:29Because of course
32:30When you're 16
32:31You don't mind being bounced about
32:32And you don't mind
32:33The horribleness
32:34And uncomfort
32:35And everything else
32:36I'll risk it
32:37With his rose-tinted glasses
32:39At the ready
32:40Paul and the Unimog
32:42Are reacquainted
32:44Look at that
32:45Instant
32:46Right
32:47If I can remember
32:48What lever does what
32:50The brakes are like
32:51All or nothing
32:52I'm going to warn you now
32:53I'm getting better at them
32:55But they really are
32:57Nothing, nothing, nothing
32:58Than everything
33:00They've got great big
33:01Long toil springs on them
33:02They're designed
33:03To soak up the bumps
33:05Simple as that
33:06And it does exactly that
33:07Eight-speed box
33:09Not the quickest thing
33:10In the world
33:11But loads of gears
33:12To play with
33:13And
33:14Yeah
33:15There's something
33:16About a Unimog
33:17There's just something
33:17About them, isn't there
33:18They're iconic, aren't they
33:19You know
33:20We have Land Rovers
33:21Over here
33:22Germans have
33:23G-wagons and Unimogs
33:25Don't they
33:25You know
33:25It's absolutely great
33:26It's smashing
33:29We're going to approach
33:30To test that
33:31Well
33:31Apparently so
33:32Now
33:33We have had monsoon-like
33:34Conditions
33:35Over the last
33:36Couple of weeks
33:37Really
33:37Certainly over the weekend
33:39It's been really bad
33:40So
33:41I don't know how deep it is
33:42I haven't even looked
33:43But
33:44Let's be fair
33:45It's not going to bother us
33:46Is it
33:48Anyway
33:48There she is
33:49Look
33:49In a bit of flood
33:52Oh brilliant
33:54How's it
33:54How's it reacting
33:56Like it wasn't there
33:57It's just
33:58Just like a puddle
33:59That's all
34:00Oh that was cool
34:01What a treat
34:02I like that
34:03These are your
34:04First, second, third, four
34:06Fifth, six, seven, eight
34:07And you forget where you are
34:10Because effectively
34:11You've got four
34:12You've got a four speed gearbox
34:14With two ratios
34:15So
34:16You can soon forget
34:17So they put a light on for you
34:20Yeah
34:20You need the light
34:21To keep you
34:22Clued up to where you are really
34:23Because you forget what gear you're in
34:25Because there's so many
34:27So Mercedes
34:28In their wisdom
34:29Put lights on
34:30So you know what range you're in
34:31Or what line of gear you're in
34:34Oh we're bounding along
34:35Oh she's lovely
34:37Is it as good as you remember?
34:38To be honest
34:39Kind of
34:41First things first
34:42I would have to do the steering
34:44It's awful
34:45It's just
34:46It's tight
34:47It's actually getting better
34:48The more I'm using it
34:49But it's tight
34:50And it's
34:51Yeah it's not nice
34:52It's not nice
34:53So I'd have to do the steering
34:55The rest of it
34:56If I'm honest
34:56Is probably
34:57As good
34:59Or better
35:00Than I remember
35:01Gearbox is better
35:02Yeah I like it
35:03You can go out
35:04You can get muddy
35:05You can go wherever you want
35:07Within reason
35:07They're just
35:08A great big
35:11Clumsy toy aren't they?
35:12I think she's a lovely old girl
35:14I do
35:15Oh yeah
35:16It's a univog innit
35:18I rate the old motor
35:19I think it's brilliant
35:20And yeah there's plenty of life
35:22Left in it yet for somebody
35:23Isn't there
35:23That's the thing
35:24Oh my lord
35:28Oh
35:38I've not really been a car person
35:40I used to watch a lot of car programmes
35:42But I've never really owned one
35:43So I only started driving during COVID
35:46I was driving my kid's car
35:47We bought them a Fiat Panda
35:49To learn to drive
35:50And that's the one that I drove as well
35:52That's all I've ever driven a Fiat Panda
35:53Until I got the MG
35:55He might be late to the starting line
35:57But Min Eben's new hobby
35:59Has turned into a bit of an addiction
36:02I bought the MG
36:03It's only just over a year ago
36:04Since then I've bought a Triumph GT6
36:08And I've got a Series 3 Land Rover
36:10And then the Sunbeam
36:12So it's all happened fairly quickly
36:14I think I'm going to have to pause now
36:16While I financially digest what I've done
36:19The purchase price is just the tip of the iceberg
36:21It's just the romance of it
36:23Taking a barn find
36:24And putting it back on the road
36:26Giving it another 20, 30 years life
36:28Is what I want to do
36:30Needless to say
36:31It's all been a bit of a learning curve
36:34And the hunt for the perfect restoration mechanic
36:37Landed two hours from home
36:39In Kent
36:40With fellow Sunbeam fan
36:42Greg Theophanides
36:44I'm in
36:45Greg
36:45So what's happening?
36:47Just finished reassembling the engine
36:48And should be about ready to start her off
36:50For the first time
36:51Wow
36:52So having now looked at the car
36:53It needs a fair chunk of welding doing
36:55It's not terminal
36:56By any stretch of the imagination
36:57It is definitely a saveable car
36:59It's going to need outer sills
37:01And some work on the inner sills
37:02One of the outriggers needs some repairs and things
37:04But on the whole it's not terrible
37:06It's certainly seen a lot worse
37:07The inner wheel arch is pretty good
37:10A few little repairs under the back here
37:11But nothing good
37:13Nothing too scary
37:15We're going to try and be as sympathetic as possible
37:17With the restoration
37:18To try and retain as much original paintwork
37:21And details and parts of the car
37:24And they're only original once
37:25Aren't they?
37:26So that'll be the challenge
37:27Doors themselves
37:28They need some adjustment
37:29As you can see
37:32But they are solid
37:33They don't appear to be full of filler
37:35Which is nice to see
37:36It saves a lot of messing around
37:38It's better than I thought
37:39It's not bad
37:41So it's not bad
37:42This is all good news
37:43The main structure is pretty sound
37:46So brilliant
37:47The last time this engine fired
37:49Donny Osmond was flying high in the charts
37:54Ready?
37:56Let's do it
37:5652 years later
37:58And with some expert fettling
38:003, 2, 1
38:06Wow
38:07Oh listen to that
38:11I like it
38:12I like it a lot
38:14No knocking
38:15No tapping
38:16No nasty noises
38:16Sounds great
38:18It's not often you get people
38:20That are as interested as men
38:21In the actual workings of the car
38:23You know a lot of people
38:24Just want the finished product
38:27Whereas he seems to want to be
38:28Deeply involved in the whole process
38:30And that's great
38:31I wish more customers were like that
38:33Can't wait
38:34No
38:34I can't wait to see how I know
38:36I'm learning a lot
38:37And I'm learning a lot from you Greg
38:38This is a pleasure to me
38:39Brilliant
38:39It's fantastic
38:50It's auction day
38:51And Derek's still banging on
38:53About his motorbikes

39:27Mercedes Unimog
39:28Here we go
39:29Drove one of these as a kid
39:31Got fond memories
39:32I love them to bits
39:33I think they're brilliant
39:34We have got
39:3510,000

39:39Here with me

39:4111,500
39:42For the third and last time
39:4411,500
39:46Provisional
39:47A deal is done
39:49And the Unimog sells for 12,000 pounds
39:56I've never actually been in the car
39:58Because all the test runs
39:59Tim has done
40:00I've ended up being on the end of the telephone
40:02In case of a breakdown
40:03And having to go out and help push
40:06So I've just watched it going in and out of the driveway
40:09And up and down the road
40:10In rural Bedfordshire
40:12Pauline Nola is getting ready for a moment she's been waiting for
40:16A whole two years wait
40:18As it turns out
40:19Along with husband Tim
40:21They'll be taking the Vauxhall Viva GT
40:24Out for Pauline's first spin
40:26It is an exciting day for me
40:29Yes
40:29I'm hoping it doesn't break down
40:31And I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine
40:33Interesting to see how fast it can go actually
40:36Because I believe it's quite a quick car
40:39Off we go
40:40Your first ever drive in a Viva GT
40:43Yeah
40:43Wow it really accelerates well
40:46Wow
40:48Come on it's fast
40:50Despite being on the lookout for a Magnum
40:52It was the Viva GT that caught Tim's eye
40:56When I first went to Mathewson's to view the car
41:00I met Paul
41:01And he said
41:02Ah that's going to be the car of the auction
41:04It was clear that it was going to make more than the guide price
41:08But it was the car I wanted
41:10I ended up paying just over £18,000 for it
41:14Quite impressed by how smooth it is
41:17And how quiet it is actually for an old car
41:19Some people may say that it wasn't worth anything like that
41:23Especially in view of how much work has had to been done on it
41:27But I made the decision that was the car I wanted to do next
41:30So I just went ahead and bought it
41:33That was it really
41:33And the brakes work
41:36We did take a long while doing the brakes
41:39Leading them and stuff didn't we
41:42Tim didn't expect such an extensive rebuild
41:45But along with Pauline's background in electronics engineering
41:48They formed quite a team
41:51Overall we both enjoy the engineering side of it
41:55I don't think you could do it without the support of your partner
41:59There are many many long hours spent outside
42:04And it would be thankless if you were doing it alone
42:07Without somebody being there helping
42:10And taking an interest in what it is you try and do
42:13You're being very nice to me today
42:16Well it is true though isn't it
42:18This is nearly full time
42:20And late into the evenings it would be lonely
42:22And to be honest I wouldn't do it
42:25So this is the original Viva DT publicity document
42:28It clearly shows a car exactly like this
42:31In Monaco white with all the detailing
42:33All along I've been trying to recreate exactly what this car should look like
42:38It's easy to cut corners
42:40And fit things that people might say
42:42Well yes that's of the period
42:44But wherever I can I'm trying to rebuild the car
42:48To be the same as it would have been
42:50When it left the forecourt originally
42:53Working on it together did have some difficulties
42:56The wiring we've had problems with
42:59We've had problems with the interior
43:01But we've worked through them
43:03And we've got a nice car
43:04It deserves the work being done to it
43:08To preserve it for the future
43:09Because these cars are really really rare now
43:13Looks like somebody appreciating
43:14Somebody was hurting at the car
43:18That's really good isn't it
43:20I tell you it looks lovely
43:21Everybody loves it
43:22It's nice people appreciate it
43:24Makes it all worthwhile
43:54Thank you
