Short filmTranscript
00:00Got the new o-rings. There's the old one. Oh. There's the new one. Oh. Yeah. They look exactly
00:12the same to me. Ah, but just feel it. Have a feel. Okay, so that's a thin one. Look,
00:18it's been compressed. Yes, it has, yeah. And this one. Yep, hasn't. No, that's right. It's
00:23a round section. Okay, give it back. No! One soft and supple, and the other hard and rigid.
00:28I think that's quite enough from you, Alan. Yeah, thank you very much. We're back on the
00:40hunt for classic cars. Blimey, isn't that beautiful? Be they big? Are the big green
00:46things for sale? I'm not sure about that. Which means they're not, okay. Small? That is a
00:53potential. Or somewhere in between. It's got no glass in it, it's got no bonnet, and you like it.
00:59I do, yeah. We're going to buy them, sort them, put them through their paces,
01:09and sell them for a tidy profit. This is Shed and Buried Classic Cars.
01:15We're on our way to Maltin in Sussex. I love a Land Rover. Yeah, same here. Now you see,
01:24this Land Rover loves sitting at 40 miles per hour. 40? I'm doing 50, I can feel it. We're
01:31within the speed limit, that's all I know, because it's very difficult in a Land Rover
01:36not to be in the speed limit. It's very true. It's very difficult to be in the speed limit.
01:42It's very true. Hey, so we're going to go and see Martin. What's he specializing? I don't know what he
01:50specializes in. Well, obviously he's got a whole variety of cars, but the bottom line is, I think
01:56he's got, as always, and they call it, an eclectic mix. Fantastic, maybe there'll be some
02:03big stuff in there. Or lorries and buses. Yep, all that kind of stuff. Mate, let's pray and hope
02:10that he's actually not got the bus bug.
02:16What we make of Martin's automotive itching powder, who knows? But Sussex, here we come.
02:26Martin, just tell me, you've got it bad, mate. I can just see from here, you have it bad. Yeah,
02:31we've all got our problems, you know, it's just solving them is a problem. Yeah, that's the key.
02:35So tell me how you got into collecting stuff. Done it most of my life, really. Always had old
02:40cars, old buses. Yeah, okay. Yeah, always. Right. And so, always been in transport my whole working
02:47life. So what, haulage company? Haulage, yeah. Tell me about all that stuff in there. I mean,
02:51you know, have you an eclectic mix? Some of it's been here over 20 years. Yeah. Some it's a few
02:57years. Yeah. I like to swap around sometimes. Okay. Get tired with the same thing. Is it time for a
03:03change around now? So is everything up for sale? No, everything, you know, some things will have
03:09to go. Now then, what we're going to do, as always, have a little rummage about. Okay. Hopefully,
03:15we might find things that are for sale. Yeah. But in the meantime, we'll probably call you in while
03:20we're rummaging. Yeah, you have a good rummage. All right, mate. Martin, thank you so much. Thank
03:24you for letting us in. Fantastic. You enjoy it? Yeah. Are the big green things for sale?
03:30I'm not sure about that. Which means they're not. Okay. Come on then. I'll make you tea.
03:35All right, Martin. We'll see you in a bit. All right.
03:42Straight away, it's clear that Martin's huge shed houses a genuinely eclectic collection
03:49with two wheelers, three wheelers, and four wheelers of all sizes and description.
03:55We'll start, though, with an English thoroughbred, a Jaguar XJ Sovereign. I've actually always really
04:02rather like them. And to smoke around in, they're proper comfy and also, am I right, Fuzzer,
04:09good value? Well, they are. They've kind of lost their market in a way. Right. Because old fellas
04:15who like a cream interior, I'm speaking about in an old Jag, are thinner on the ground than they
04:23used to be, unfortunately. I'm still hanging in there. Now, look at that, hey? Isn't that a lovely
04:30place to be? And, of course, you've got that traditional J-Gate Jaguar gear change as well.
04:36Oh, yeah. Oh, I love it.
04:41For something a little more spit and sawdust, on the other side of the shed,
04:45he's got a slightly unusual Ford Anglia.
04:48Now, look, Ford Anglia is synonymous with a much later shape. That's right, the reverse
04:53rake rear window Ford Anglia, which was the 105E, 123E. Yeah, this is an earlier incarnation. So,
05:02these Anglias were from, I think, 53 to 59, no, actually before that. These are early post-war.
05:11The Ford Anglia was released in 1939, just after the outbreak of war. It appeared in several
05:17different body shapes and was one of Ford's most popular cars before it was replaced by the Ford
05:23Escort. So, this was one of the, what's commonly known as a sit-up and beg Anglia. Oh, man, I love
05:32it. Lovely little four-cylinder, four-cylinder, four-cylinder, four-cylinder, four-cylinder,
05:41four-cylinder, flathead, 1172cc engine. Now, those engines were used for so many cars,
05:48right, right through the, well, from the late 1930s through to the early 1960s, actually.
05:58Moving on, Martin's curios include a Reliant Fox camper van, a festival of fiberglass,
06:05look at it, a William microcar. It's got no glass in it, it's got no bonnet, it's got no grille,
06:14it's yellow, yeah, and you like it. I do, yeah. And a Simpson moped equipped with fake hand grenades.
06:24Don't you think that that would be dangerous down the high street now? Wouldn't it just get special
06:28forces turning up and blowing it up? Now, talking about weird and wonderful,
06:34a Trabant. Right, come on, let's have a look.
06:42Nicknamed the spark plug on wheels, the VEB Trabant was built in East Germany between 1957
06:50and 1991. In spite of its primitive engineering and its awful performance, it was one of the only
06:56cars available behind the Berlin Wall. 3.1 million were built. Years ago, before I met my wife,
07:05I was filming in Hungary, yeah, right, and I met this rather lovely lady. Did you? Right, but her
07:13father, yeah, who she was living with, yeah, had a Trabant. Right, okay. And he would take us out.
07:20Well, that's great, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was only two or three times he took us out,
07:24dropped us off in town, and we got a taxi back. That's right. Yeah, but I have to tell you, it was
07:28properly romantic. Yeah, that's fantastic. Just you, your girlfriend, yeah, and her dad. It wasn't quite
07:36like that, he was just dropping us off. I think they're great things. I mean, they gained an awful
07:42lot of interest in 1989, 1990, when, of course, the the wall came down, and suddenly these cars
07:51were liberated to be all over Europe, rather than just confined to the eastern block. Do they have
07:56a following? There probably still is a following for these, but it's not as great as it was. The
08:02big rush for these was in the early 1990s. Now, it's kind of quirky folks like him, I think. Okay,
08:08I'm a quirky folk. Yeah, I like that. Upstairs, the scale is smaller, but the wonders continue.
08:18Oh, wow. Watch your head. Yeah, I know. Watch your head. You tall people. Yeah, look at this, eh?
08:27What is that? It's a Lambretta. I reckon probably mid-1950s. It's probably worth a fortune.
08:33Look, the covers are off at the moment, but they don't look overly bad. They're not rotted through.
08:40That is the sort of condition I'd love to have one of these in. Why does that appeal to us?
08:46Because it's minimalist? I think because it's an early version. I know nothing about pricing with
08:52stuff like that, Fuzzer. I mean, like, that could be seven or eight grand. It probably is as well,
08:56actually. I mean, I've seen these things go for, like, 20 grand. Yeah. You know, I have no idea
09:01why. Nice series Land Rover there. That's, yeah. Petrol engines, though. Is it? Yeah, I mean,
09:08you know. I suppose we could go out in it. Alan would love that. Hey, wait a minute. Look,
09:12there's a brace of them there. A brace to race.
09:18So, as I thought, we're spoiled for choice, but choose we must.
09:25Okay, all right, okay. So, look, all right. So, well, I don't know where to start. There's an
09:30Anglia. Yeah, the Anglia's just really nice, though, already, isn't it? Talking about nice,
09:37we can smoke around in that Jag. Yeah, that would be nice, actually, as well.
09:41The Trabant, I quite like. I can tell. I know, it's romantic. It's a military nut bar
09:48moped. You like that one? I think that could be really funny. Okay, should we go and have a word?
10:00Why don't we start with this? The Jaguar, the Jaguar Sovereign. It's only done 33,000 miles
10:06from you. Oh, there we go. I want three and a half for it, 3,500. There's a Trabant. Oh, yeah.
10:13Yeah, I've owned that for some years. Got all the documents with it. Okay, and which is the
10:18Trabanty-banty? Special deal, three and a half grand. Special deal? Yeah, three and a half grand.
10:25Yeah, okay, cool. What happens? Can I just wade in? Yes. Can I just? You can. You didn't want to
10:33mention the Lambretta upstairs? Oh, I could. Yeah, LI150, 1957. I've got the logbook. How much is that?
10:42I want to get like 1,650 quid for it.
10:48What happens? They're making good money now, Lambrettas. What happens if we did the Lambretta
10:56and the Trabant, four and a half? No, I'll be losing out there, big time. Big time? Yeah.
11:16We're down in Kent with Martin and his fabulous collection. We've bid four and a half grand on a
11:23Trabant and a Lambretta, but he's having none of it.
11:28Up that a little bit more, we could do a deal. 4,750, the pair. Sounds very good.
11:35Yeah, go on then. All right, let's do it, mate. Deal, deal. Fantastic.
11:38Deal, deal, deal. Well done. Thank you, Martin. This is fantastic news. Great stuff, mate.
11:45Next day, Guy gets a chance to say guten tag to our latest purchases.
11:53What do you reckon he's thinking? I think he likes it, you know.
11:58You are loving it, aren't you? Do you know, weirdly, I've always had a strange fascination
12:04for these, because I quite like Eastern Bloc stuff, because normally it's very simple,
12:10robust, and has a high degree of neglectability, which means it'll probably run with a bit of a
12:16shove. Oh, that's where my dog is. I was looking for it everywhere. Did you let it in? You must
12:21have done. Yeah, yeah, she loves it in there. She loves a car. She loves a car. She loves a
12:25Trabant. Now, look, seriously, she could probably eat the bodywork of this. They're cardboard,
12:29aren't they? Yeah, this is what I was going to say. Cotton, actually. Is that what it is? Yeah,
12:33it's a cotton sort of resin combination. Instead of fiberglass, they used waste cotton and made it
12:41into some sort of board. So look, right, I think it looks in pretty good shape, and I think as a
12:46novelty sale, it could be rather cool. Once we get it going, I want to take it to a local car show,
12:54where it's bound to turn heads. And just by the by, I have taken the liberty of ordering four
13:01furry hats. All right, OK. As for the Lambretta, we'll need a mod-style helmet, if and when we
13:09can get this thing on the road. Looking at it, I really think we've got a steal here. Yeah,
13:16what was it? I can't remember what it is in the deal if you split it up. About 1,500 quid. Yeah,
13:20that's right. Can I just say, mate, being serious, I genuinely like that. Yes, so do I. I think it's
13:25a lovely little thing. First though, we'll see if we can get the Trabant running.
13:34Just make sure it's out of gear first, please. Yeah, all right.
13:38Oh, wait a minute. Hang on. Do that again. That nearly went. Yeah. OK, well. Yeah, that's sparking.
13:45That is sparking. Yeah, definitely got a spark. Bean, it nearly, nearly went then. Nearly, however,
13:52never quite made it. Over the next 15 minutes, we fill it up, try to clean the fuel lines.
14:02Oh, all the bumpers covered. He's already done with the bumper, for God's sake. The gaffer tape's
14:06given up. Here we go. Come on, comrade. And make more false starts than the Grand National
14:15until eventually. That runs. It runs. There we go. Yes. It runs. It runs, sort of.
14:32This is great news. Oh, I've got to tell you, that's hilarious, isn't it?
14:43Guy and Fuzz cable tie the bumper and we get going, sort of. Can you fit in there? Yeah, I'm in.
14:53Come on. Give it some beans. You need to give it some beans, you're too slow. I am giving it some
14:58flipping beans. I told you it was there. I'll tell you what, that's quite nice. Yeah. Oh,
15:03blimey. Oh, blimey. Hang on, I can't stop. Can't you? Has he got no brakes? Yeah, no, I'm all right.
15:10I think it's stalled. I'm going to have to bounce it again. I think it's suffering from the fuel
15:16starvation that most of Henry's vehicles have. Yeah, I think we're out of fuel. No, we're not.
15:22We just put a load of fuel in it. Yeah, they're very thirsty, these cars. It can't be that thirsty.
15:27We've done 50 feet. It can't be. Where's the fuel tap on? You see? Look, I'll get out, don't you?
15:35Shall I just sit pretty here? Yeah, I think it's best that's best.
15:41Fuzz goes under the bonnet.
15:44Right, just try starting it again. Okay, here we go. Do you want a bit of choke? Give it some choke.
15:54Push the choke in a little bit. Now, oh. Okay, can I, may I speak? Yeah. I think we need to
16:01do is clean the car. No, it's not the carburettor. I just think that the fuel lines are a little bit
16:06blocked, but I think we need to put more fuel in it so it goes beyond the reserve because I think
16:11the inside of the fuel tank is really furred up. Lots of flakes of paint and rust and stuff like
16:16that. So you might have to put a bit of extra fuel in. I know you won't like it, but that could see
16:24as motoring ski. Five minutes later, they're back with the tools and fuel.
16:30Hey, up, Bean. Would you pull the bonnet catch? I think it's going to be a regular occurrence.
16:39I thought they were just going to fill it up, but instead, Fuzz and Skid take the whole tank out and
16:44empty it. Judging by the amount of fuel in it, I think it's going to be a regular occurrence.
16:50Fuzz and Skid take the whole tank out and empty it. Judging by the rusty sludge that emerges,
16:55it's a good thing, too. I think we should take this off. Yeah, I think so. Undo that plastic.
17:01Do you think this is probably not the place to be doing this? Do you think we should actually just
17:06push the car back to the workshop and start again? Well, we did not drive it into the middle of a
17:11field, did we? We were expecting it by the workshop. Yeah.
17:18Back at the shed, we try an old trick of the trade. Right, shaky, shaky.
17:25The stones should dislodge any rust or general crud,
17:29and a good training for the Rio Carnival. You can tell Fuzz is a pro.
17:35Once all the stones are out, we clean it with a jet wash,
17:39attach some spare fuel pipes, and then reinstall and refill it before we go again.
17:47Come on. Here we go.
17:52It sounds as sweet as salt. Bean is not impressed.
17:58Shall I give it a push? I'll give it a push before you burn the clutch out. Come on, then.
18:04Come on, then. If you ever wondered why East Germany went to the war, here's your answer.
18:11Go on, Alan again. Go!
18:16Right, get in. Right, you got it now. Yeah.
18:21Go!
18:29Oh, that's great, backwards.
18:31It's not me. I'm telling you, I'm very good at keeping things going.
18:39I think we're running out of petrol. Come on, then.
18:44So the Trabant's got problems. Let's hope the Lambretta is an easier fix.
18:50Okay, so, Al, what do we do first? See if it's got a spark.
18:53As always, see if it's got a spark, I think, first.
18:55Right. If it has got a spark, we put some fuel in it.
18:57Though a lot of Lambrettas were converted to an electric start,
19:01this one's got a standard boot-powered kickstarter.
19:04Once Alan has sorted out a gunked-up plug, I give it some of the amber nectar.
19:09And then let Skid do the honours with the kickstart.
19:14I'll go first time, by the way. Second time. Third time.
19:20It's not going well.
19:20Okay, easy start.
19:22Fortunately, a quick shot of easy start gets it going.
19:28That's it. That's it. It's working. Happy days.
19:34Yes! Okay, that's third.
19:38That's it. That's it.
19:40That's it. That's it.
19:42That's it. That's it.
19:44That's it. That's it.
19:46That's it. That's it.
19:48All gears work.
19:58No, that's wrong, isn't it?
20:00I think you should have an East End accent to be a mod.
20:06Much better.
20:08Shall we just take it on the drive and just see if it actually rides?
20:13Detto e fatto, as they say in Lambretta land, no sooner said than done.
20:23I'm ready.
20:25Are you sure? Can you handle the horsepower?
20:27Well, I don't know yet.
20:29Don't forget you've got 10-inch wheels.
20:31Okay, I'll just take it easy then.
20:35With a little help from my friends.
20:43That's it. That's it.
20:45Yeah, you're off.
20:47Oh, that's it. Right.
20:51Here we go.
20:57It may not have the grunt or the roar of most of my bikes,
20:59but if this is the Dolce Vita, I want some.
21:05I'll tell you what.
21:07I mean, I've been on Vespas and Lambrettas before,
21:09but this is the first one I've really enjoyed.
21:11Yeah, it's lovely. It sounds lovely.
21:13Seems to go all right.
21:15Yeah, doesn't it just?
21:17So the Lambretta's great,
21:19but if we're going to take our Trabant to a car show and sell it on,
21:21there's a lot more work for us to do.
21:35We've got ourselves a Cold War relic,
21:37an East German Trabant.
21:41We want to take it to a show
21:43and sell it on for a good profit.
21:45But our first test wasn't exactly successful.
21:47It works!
21:49Not very well.
21:53Let's hope that Alan can work out where the problem lies.
21:57Right, you ready?
22:07You're going on one cylinder.
22:10By taking the spark plugs out one by one,
22:14Alan's aiming to check which cylinder is the problem.
22:18Oiled up. Completely oiled up.
22:22If we're lucky, it's going to be a simple spark plug issue.
22:26Asbestos Al uses a blowtorch to burn off the old oil,
22:30aiming to get the tip red hot.
22:32Isn't that hot on your fingies?
22:34No.
22:36Once the plug's back in, we go again.
22:44This is better!
22:46This is a lot better!
22:48It still sounds more like a rusty lawnmower than a Mercedes,
22:52but what a result.
22:54Oh, boys!
22:56Versprong-Dirk technique!
22:58Whatever that means.
23:00Sounds crisp now, and it's a classic two-stroke problem
23:02with an oiled spark plug.
23:05OK, well, let's just put the grill on
23:07and we'll just go up and down the drive and see what it's like.
23:11Ready?
23:13Yeah, let's go.
23:15Look at that power, wheelspinning everywhere.
23:17Steady!
23:23With both cylinders working,
23:25it runs a lot better.
23:27Though when we try to turn round,
23:29there's a strange new noise.
23:31Oh, dear.
23:33I think you should turn that off.
23:39Is that off?
23:41Yeah.
23:43It's running on it, isn't it?
23:45It's running on its own with no spark.
23:49That was running like a diesel.
23:53That was so funny!
23:55That would save electric, wouldn't it?
23:57Yeah.
24:00On the way back,
24:02another instrument joins the orchestra.
24:14But it's definitely running better...
24:16ish.
24:20I'm actually quite impressed with it.
24:22Well, I think we should give her a clean saw out,
24:24make her look lovely, and head out.
24:26And I've got a little plan
24:29of what attire we should be wearing,
24:31but I'll surprise you.
24:35After a sandwich and a mug of diesel,
24:37we shift focus to the Lambretta.
24:39No problem with the engine there,
24:41but it needs adornment.
24:47You're going to love this.
24:49Here we go.
24:51It's quite small, but perfectly formed.
24:53And this is the badge.
24:55Oh, that's really nice.
24:57What about like that?
24:59Yeah, that'd look really good, wouldn't it?
25:01Don't you think?
25:03Just what you would call an embellishment.
25:05Though I'd have used superglue myself,
25:07Alan and Skid insist
25:09that the best way to get the badge on
25:11is with self-adhesive tape.
25:13Left to their own devices,
25:15my dynamic duo keep on fiddling.
25:19If this falls off,
25:21we are never going to hear the end of it.
25:24I could have stuck this on.
25:26I could have gone...
25:28You could have stuck it on.
25:30I could have gone on holiday,
25:32come back with a suntan,
25:34go, how are you getting on?
25:36Do you know what I mean?
25:38My life is wasting away.
25:40I wish I'd never bought this badge.
25:44Right, don't touch the sticky bits.
25:48I've measured it up
25:50and I don't want it there.
25:52That's where it should be.
25:54What about there?
25:56It's definitely wonky.
25:58No, it's not.
26:00You can't move it now.
26:02No, you can't.
26:04No!
26:06You won't have to take it off now.
26:08No!
26:10Just get off it!
26:12No, we've got to do it again.
26:14Looks great!
26:16Leave it!
26:18Of course it will!
26:21It's stunning.
26:23It won't come off!
26:29It's all looking so good
26:31that next morning
26:33I don my parka
26:35and get ready to hit the road.
26:37So I'm going to go and see Disco Des
26:39and his mate Paul.
26:41Disco Des has the definitive scooter shop
26:43in Worcester
26:45and Paul, his mate,
26:47who normally wears a stupid hat,
26:49auctions these.
26:51Are you going to try and flog it to them or not?
26:53Just info?
26:55Always.
26:57Or at least get a valuation.
26:59Fantastic!
27:01Now I'm used to big bikes
27:03with big wheels and levers
27:05to keep me warm
27:07so this is a bit of a departure
27:09but unlike our Trabant
27:11the Lambretta is running perfectly.
27:15We are the mods!
27:19It's getting a bit cold now
27:21and I've got probably
27:23about another hour and a half.
27:25Oh well!
27:29These country roads are a long way
27:31from Carnaby Street
27:33and I'll be surprised if I can get there
27:35without freezing me wheel nuts
27:37but Worcester, here we come!
27:49Oh my word!
27:51Blimey!
27:53Well, scootering is quite cold I have to say
27:55but at the same time
27:57we've made it now.
27:59I'm here to see
28:01Disco Des and Paul
28:03and between the two of them
28:05they know a thing or two.
28:07Oh, here they come.
28:09Now then, you must be Des.
28:11Come on Des.
28:13Why are you called Disco Des?
28:15It's the feet, Henry. They just don't stop moving.
28:18Can we go in and have a look?
28:20Oh, I think I've found the emporium, haven't I?
28:26Des has been in the scooter business
28:28for decades
28:30and though he's got plenty of mod-style scooters
28:32and mod gear
28:34the golden age of the Lambretta he tells me
28:36was long before the Who sang about their generation.
28:42In the 1950s it was families
28:44and it was just everybody was riding a scooter.
28:47So how come the parker turned up?
28:49Was that to do with the music scene then?
28:51Yeah, I think very much so.
28:53This was a youth culture
28:55and it was a lifestyle there.
28:57And the parker, do we know where that came from?
28:59Just cheap to keep you out of the rain
29:01because the ex-military stuff was cheap.
29:05Today scooters have a dedicated cult following
29:07and can command big bucks.
29:13They made hundreds of thousands of scooters
29:15but there were certain models
29:17which weren't made in such quantities
29:19that are in demand now.
29:23So what about our Lambretta outside?
29:25We got it cheap
29:27but I'm hoping it might be worth as much as the Trabant.
29:31How much is it worth?
29:33I reckon you're on about £1,500 a month.
29:35I thought they'd be about £3,000 or £4,000.
29:37It's all down to the buyer and the seller on the day.
29:39You know that.
29:45If we're not going to make a killing on the Lambretta
29:47it's even more important
29:49that we wash our face with the Trabant.
29:51Time for a clean up.
29:57Well done lads. Happy days.
29:59What have you got that for?
30:01I just thought I'd get the wheelbarrow out
30:03to empty the boot.
30:05Good idea.
30:07I'm going to empty the boot
30:09and then I've got some prezzies for you.
30:12The boot is full of spare parts
30:14and odds and ends
30:16of all description.
30:18I found a Trabant Monazan.
30:20Monazan?
30:22Monazanual?
30:24Monazanual.
30:26Anyway, nice.
30:28Together all of this probably weighs
30:30as much as a fifth passenger
30:32so it's worth emptying the boot.
30:34Well that's basically
30:36lighting the load, isn't it?
30:38Definitely.
30:40Fuzz and Alan meanwhile have been
30:42half at it. Alan working
30:44on the door.
30:46What I'm trying to do now is get this door lock
30:48working because at the moment you can't open the door from inside
30:50which is not ideal. I'm just adjusting the cable
30:52to see if I can make it work.
30:56And Fuzz doing a small modification
30:58to the petrol cap by drilling
31:00a breather hole.
31:02The reason I've drilled this
31:04little vent hole in the cap here
31:06is because we've been having fuel problems
31:09with the Trabant so what I want to
31:11try and do is rule out
31:13any of the possible causes.
31:15One would be that
31:17fuel's draining out of the tank
31:19but causing a vacuum at the top
31:21and therefore stopping the
31:23fuel from actually flowing freely
31:25down to the carburettor.
31:27So this solves that problem.
31:32The door's a trickier job
31:34but after 20 minutes he's mended
31:36the lock and got the dodgy window
31:38working.
31:40Look at that!
31:46In fact they've both done so well
31:48that it's time for me to hand out
31:50the prezzies.
31:52Now listen, you may think
31:54this is a black furry version
31:56of Jelly Bean
31:58They're not rabbits but they're faux fur
32:00but I thought you'd like it because
32:02they are
32:04East German
32:06military
32:08This is basically Trabant wear
32:12There we go.
32:14Cool, that's warm.
32:16Now then, shall we try this Trabant
32:18and see if it can actually operate under load
32:20for our little trip tomorrow
32:22to our lovely motoring event?
32:24I think it's going to struggle to get off the mark
32:26I honestly do with four of us in.
32:28Do you? Yes.
32:30Shall we give it a go?
32:32Not one thank you for our hats
32:34Not one thank you for your hats
32:36Thank you for my hats
32:38Very warming isn't it?
32:40Alright, everybody in
32:42Oh dear
32:44Already it looks a bit iffy
32:48The good news is that
32:50our Trabby can take four people
32:52but will it get all the way
32:54to the motoring event tomorrow
32:56and if it does, will we find
32:58someone willing to buy it?
33:04A month ago
33:06we bought a Trabant
33:08from a shed in Sussex
33:10Yeah, go on then.
33:12Alright, let's do it mate
33:14Our Cold War relic coughed
33:16smoked
33:18Oh, it's great, backwards
33:20stalled
33:22and made all manner of noises
33:26Ha, ha, ha
33:28It's a Trabant
33:30It's a Trabant
33:32Ha, ha, ha
33:34But eventually, we got it going
33:36and today, we're off to the classic
33:38motor hub
33:40to see if we can get shot of it
33:42I mean, sell our classic car for a handsome profit
33:46We're off and away man
33:48We're going to motor hub
33:50for a little day out, have a look at some decent vehicles
33:52Not saying this isn't
33:54Obviously, it's going rather nicely
33:56We're three miles into the trip
33:58and nothing's happened
34:00I think two-stroke smoke is seeping
34:02in the dashboard
34:04Is it?
34:06We're slightly fogging up by your feet
34:08I think the heater works from the exhaust pipe
34:10What sort of noise?
34:12I think that's the speedometer
34:14The speedometer
34:16It's the overspeeder
34:18Now look, I want to take every advantage possible
34:20to try and, there we go
34:22try and flog this today
34:24The sale
34:26What's your asking price?
34:28Well, it was 4,750
34:30I think, for the Trabant
34:32and the Lambretta
34:34So I think
34:36if we can get three and a half for this
34:38that'll clear us with the Lambretta
34:40or three to...
34:42Give it a whack
34:44There we go, that's it
34:46Back in the late 1980s
34:48when this car was built
34:50a Trabant cost about
34:527,500 Deutschmarks
34:54an average year's salary
34:56for anyone behind the Berlin Wall
34:58Today, a classic Trabant
35:00can go for anything from
35:02two and a half grand to twenty
35:06It's a very stop-start this journey
35:08Don't be like that, it's just busy
35:10It's just busy
35:12Fuzz thinks he's in a bus because he's stopping everywhere
35:14It's just busy
35:16All we need is a bell
35:18What's that?
35:20It's still got the handbrake on
35:22It feels it, doesn't it?
35:24I know we've had it
35:26Oh no
35:28I think we've got problems
35:30Go on, son
35:32Let it out, that's it
35:34I think you're going to have to go down a cog here, son
35:38No
35:40No
35:42No, that's third
35:48Oh, that's reverse
35:50We're going backwards in first
35:52We're going backwards in first
35:54Oh, that wasn't nice
35:58Will you stop it?
36:00I'm just stopping us going backwards
36:02into the expensive car behind you
36:04I think you're going to have to reverse and get a run-up
36:06There we go
36:08This poor clutch
36:10Jesus
36:14In its heyday, there was a 13-year wait
36:16for a Trabi
36:18so second-hand cars could sell
36:20for more than double their price new
36:22Admittedly, we haven't done much to this one
36:24apart from getting it going
36:26but our vintage headwear
36:28should help convince the punters
36:30that this is a real classic
36:32Don't you think in these hats, Alan looks like a mole?
36:36Slightly, yeah
36:38Like that
36:40If he was a bit more toothy
36:42From this position, it looks like I'm being driven by a giant mole
36:46Here we are, we've arrived, we've made it, lads
36:50There we are
36:54Come on, pull it round
36:56There you go
36:58You're taking up two parking spaces there
37:00Just maybe like that
37:02Don't hit that GT40
37:04I'm going to park it
37:06I'm a GT40
37:08Careful
37:12It's behaved perfectly
37:14It's like it wants to be sold
37:16I will just now
37:18get the sign out
37:20and put it under the windscreen wiper
37:22Might actually be in business
37:26This is the season opener
37:28for the Classic Motor Hub
37:30with enthusiasts from Oxfordshire
37:32and beyond descending on this
37:34automotive mecca
37:36to show and tell
37:38and maybe even pick up a new vehicle
37:40Right then
37:42What are you looking at me like that for?
37:44I'm just looking at the car more than anything
37:46Can you imagine
37:48if Henry designed a car
37:50what would it be like?
37:52I was just thinking
37:54Why do you say that?
37:56It's a great get you out of trouble car
37:58It's a classic, if you ask a four year old to draw a picture
38:00of a car, it would look like that
38:02I'm more expensive than the car
38:04You could just put it there
38:06with your little gold man grandad glasses
38:08Let go, let go
38:10There you go, you're on
38:12How much is that?
38:15Actually no, we'll get more for the car
38:19Admittedly, potential competition
38:21is steep, with punters coming
38:23in everything from Ferrari
38:25Testarossas
38:27to souped up Ford Escorts
38:29whose production run lasted almost
38:31as long as the Trabant
38:33Now Fuzzer
38:35Escort wise, are these going up in price still
38:37or have they just sort of basically leveled
38:39out now?
38:41They're still well thought of
38:43It's the actual ones with either
38:45provenance or really low mileage
38:47So basically
38:49if it hasn't got either no mileage
38:51or provenance, rather like Guy
38:53it's worthless
38:55It's still worth something to somebody
38:57You've been clocked mate
38:59The only reason why
39:01you're low mileage is they wound you back
39:03I once
39:05had a vehicle and the speedo
39:07was broken, so I took it apart
39:09to try and fix it and there was a note in there
39:11Oh no, not again
39:15Our Trabby does get some
39:17attention, but no one makes an offer
39:21Hey look, I'll tell you what mate
39:23I think we are punching above our own weight now
39:25seeing as the Ferrari's just parked next to us
39:27It's the most unusual car here
39:29Well I think so, yeah, perhaps we're the most unusual
39:31people as well, are we? Possibly, yeah
39:33I can't help think though
39:35What? I think three and a half
39:37might be a bit ambitious Don't be like that
39:41Interestingly, we're not the only
39:43German cold war curio
39:45Other competition includes
39:47this DKW Schnellaster
39:49van
39:51What is it? Three cylinder
39:53two stroke, how cool is that?
39:55How cool is that mate?
39:57Three cylinder two stroke is a bit like having a
39:59six cylinder isn't it? It is
40:01It's got expansion chambers on it
40:03Yeah you could have spannies on it
40:05It's like a Trabant with an extra cylinder
40:07Alan's had a go at it
40:09You know what I'm worried about and quite upset about
40:11What? I think we'll be driving back in that
40:13I think so, a lot of people are looking and laughing
40:15Yeah I know, I don't blame them
40:17That's mainly at Guy though
40:19Once they've had a few teas inside them
40:21Once they've had a few
40:23Yeah, you never know
40:25Sales and transactions may be taking place
40:27Eh?
40:29Or we could do a swap see for this
40:31That's very lovely, I'd really like that
40:35The Schnellaster is going for
40:37just under 15 grand
40:39compared to which our Trabant seems
40:41like a real bargain
40:43but after an hour we have to admit defeat
40:45Shall we just
40:47like just end today on the
40:49understanding that perhaps
40:51this might be a harder sell
40:53than we think it is
40:57So we're leaving Motorhub
40:59with our exhaust pipe between our legs
41:01but fear ye not
41:03you can't keep a good Eastern European car
41:05down and a few days later
41:07we get a punter
41:11Duff runs a vehicle transport business
41:13so he's seen a lot of classic cars
41:17I think he likes it
41:19Well I haven't seen him smile ever
41:21He's smiling now, why is he smiling?
41:23He likes it
41:27Now look, you look quite chirpy and chuffed
41:29Yeah
41:31It's reasonable isn't it
41:33It's a bit smoky when it drives but they're all like that sir
41:35aren't they two strokes?
41:37It got four of us out and about didn't it
41:39Faultlessly
41:41What do you want to do with it then?
41:43I'll probably just take it behind the camper
41:45to the odd show and out
41:47Yeah I've got to tell you man, it does actually
41:49get a lot of people talking
41:51You could probably have a Ferrari next to this
41:53and people would be talking about that
41:55It does get a lot of looks doesn't it
41:57Do you want the
41:59Damage?
42:01I'll let it go on then
42:03As it's you
42:07£3,750
42:09of your finest British pounds
42:11Well I can't go
42:13the full hog, I've got to get a bit off
42:15£3,500
42:19Don't look depressed, shake his hand
42:21I think that's a fair deal, you're both happy
42:23You've got a little tickle out of it which Duff expects
42:25Yeah
42:27And he's happy because he's got
42:29£3,750 off
42:31£3,500 mate
42:33And as always, I'll take lunch and vouchers
42:35coconut, anything from you really
42:37Or you could work it off
42:39Yeah
42:41Yeah but you won't be doing that
42:43I'll take cash
42:45Mostly
42:47I'm just going to get in out of the rain
42:49Please continue to have a look at it
42:55Right, £3,500
42:57Okay, at £4,750
42:59didn't we buy the lot for?
43:01£4,750 right
43:03So we've got to get then
43:05£1,250 minimum
43:07for the Lambretta
43:09I think that's a slam dunk
43:11Okay so let's say, I think it's a fair dinkum
43:13to say
43:15it's worth £2,000 the Lambretta
43:17I was going to say minimum, I would hope for
43:19£1,800 on that
43:21Well look, even if it's £1,500
43:23we've made £250
43:25If it's £2,000
43:27we've made £750
43:29And we've had a great day out
43:31If you had a cup of tea, you could clank
43:33I'd say cheers
43:35Happy days
43:37Good old duffage
