Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 1, Episode 18 - Episode #1.18 - full transcript
Oh, my God! Look at that!
The homes of Britain are stacked
with old possessions.
It's an old toilet.
Thanks for telling me!
What looks like junk can
actually be worth a pretty penny.
I've never seen a chair like it.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that
clutter into hard cash.
Pretty immaculate. Between 14 and 17 grand.
Up-cycling genius, Simon...
It works! Don't sound so surprised.
...and his restorer love turning
everyday objects into
fantastic furniture.
Gemma, come on.
Absolute winner.
BELL RINGS
Whilst, for Henry and his mechanic...
That is absolutely stunning, Guy.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
She's on! It runs!
Despite their differences,
they always come good and they'll
turn a tidy profit for their owners.
You're going to put in your
pocket £10,630.
That's great. Absolutely brilliant.
Today...
Hang on. Mr O'Brien, I'm so sorry.
...Simon puts Henry in his place.
Don't look me in the eye.
Don't look me in the eye, I'm going
into a shed. Carry on, Sir.
Simon's not one to do things by half.
What on earth...?
Let's not have one Rolls-Royce,
let's have 13.
Oh, she rides lovely.
And Henry is back in the saddle. Wahey.
I'm just having another look at the
sat nav, if that's all right?
As usual, you've
no idea where we are, do you?
I don't have any idea at all.
The boys are back on the road.
This time, they're in Suffolk.
Famous for its stunning
coastline and heaths,
Suffolk's county town, Ipswich,
is one of the oldest in England.
The reason it's called England is
because of this area. East Anglia.
The Anglians were here when
the Normans invaded and so the
Normans called it Angleland.
And the residents of Angleland
split their land into the
north folk and their south folk,
now better known today as
Norfolk and Suffolk.
Today, Henry is choosing the
candidate for
a clear out which can mean only one
thing - Simon's in trouble.
We're going to go and see Frank.
Yes. Now, prepare yourself. Why?
He's known for a tractor or two.
Scrap metal merchant,
Frank Brinkley,
has a passion for all things mechanical.
The yard opposite his house is
a treasure trove of vintage
tractors, cars and bikes.
Well, I've been in Brettenham all my life.
85 year, when I started with
about four quid, I think.
I went round the villages pushing
the pram and putting the
scrap in the pram and that's
how I started.
Frank's two acre yard combines his
scrap business and his
beloved vehicle
collection, but now Frank
has decided to slow down and start
cashing in his portfolio of motors.
I've kept a few bits and pieces that
I thought might come into
money one day.
Oh, Henry, can you try and just
stay on the road?
Frank. Hello. How are you, mate?
I'm Henry. How are you doing?
All right. Hiya, Frank? Simon.
How are you? All right.
How long have you been here,
Frank? Since 47.
So you've been collecting stuff all
that time? Well, yeah. Rubbish.
We'll be the judge of that, Frank.
Henry and Simon need to find two
items each to fix up and flog
on to raise as much cash as they can.
Don't touch that.
It's a Rolls-Royce. This is more
your thing. Little Austin.
Hey, look, do you fancy sitting in
the Roller? Yeah.
Yeah, you can sit in the back, then.
Quite right.
Oh, no, that's wrong, isn't it?
No, that's right.
Looks like Simon's enjoying this bit
of a Rolls reversal.
Frank says Princess Anne used to
ride round in that gold Rolls-Royce.
And Simon O'Brien.
That's what Princess Anne will be
telling her friends, you know.
Simon O'Brien's been in that car.
Gold Rollers from the '70s, I don't
know whether they're actually
worth a great deal or
that desirable.
This old Roller's too big for both
Henry and Simon. Thank you.
Don't look me in the eye.
Don't look me in the eye,
I'm going into a shed. Wow!
But Simon's spotted something
more his size.
Yep, a fleet of mini Rollers.
These are cool. Man, that's great.
The lock-up contains 13 peddle and
battery-powered Rolls-Royces.
They must be official Rolls-Royce
merchandise, wouldn't they?
Do you think so? Well, they must be.
They would never give permission to
put the insignia on anything else.
No, it would have to be. Spot on.
Manufactured in the 1980s, these
Rolls-Royce cars were available
exclusively from Harrods and
official Rolls-Royce dealerships.
There's more.
These old Rollers are now highly
collectable with immaculate examples
selling for hundreds, so Simon wants
a whole fleet as his first pick.
I think it's fantastic you're
taking away something with
four wheels. OK.
Yeah, because you were so grumpy
this morning and you are having
a field day. Me, on the other hand,
have nothing.
Good point, yeah. That's put
me in an even better mood.
There you are, mate.
One down, one to go.
So, a happy Simon decides to look
beyond the sea of cars. Come on.
Grab this. What? It's to do with a
plough, isn't it? It might be.
Get it right out. Simon's spotted an
old plough frame.
I'm pondering. Yeah?
But this seasoned up-cycler
is stumped to find a new use for it.
What do you reckon? Chaise longue.
What do you think?
That's not the worst idea you've
ever had. Are you really sure?
Put slats along here like this and
up the back. It's a sun lounger.
With Henry's idea,
Simon's plumping for the plough but
Henry's not yet off the mark.
You brought me to an automotive
junkyard and you are empty-handed.
Am I worried? A little bit.
I'm feeling that I'm getting
closer to something. Wow.
Core blimey O'Reilly. Look.
This is my paradise.
But, amazingly, Henry
only has eyes for one thing.
Now these things are hugely
desirable. To get them going...
Do you mind with your foot?
I mean, this is worth probably more
than either of those. Thank you.
Seriously? Yes.
Steam traction engines such as this
Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies model
can get hobbyists very hot
under the collar.
Henry knows that the best engines
can cost £4-£5000.
ENGINE WHISTLES
Do you know what makes me laugh?
What? We're in a shed... Yes.
...with a Triumph Bonneville and
a Harley-Davidson and you're
interested in a toy.
I'll tell you why, mate.
These are glorious but I can't add
value for Frank, but I think I can
with this. I'll take my foot off. Roger.
With the steam engine banked,
Henry is finally on the right track.
What a lovely shed, hey?
But we're reaching the end of the
line. Come on.
Only one shed to go. We walk in.
LAUGHTER
Take a look at these.
Oh, come on. Look lively.
Tell me what that one is?
Is it a Massey Ferguson? Nearly.
It's a little grey Ferguson.
The little grey Fergie was a popular
choice for farmers in the '40s and
'50s and its reliability means it's
a big draw for collectors today.
Something like this, as it stands,
you know, hundreds, late hundreds.
Perhaps 1,000, but if we did it up...
Looks like Henry's unearthed
a potential item, or has he?
Blimey, I've never seen one of them
before. Here, come on.
Step this way.
Wait for me, wait for me! Come on.
This is called a Steyr and these
are as rare as rocking horse poo.
A Steyr tractor in perfect condition
is the Holy Grail for tractor enthusiasts.
Initially founded as
a rifle manufacturer in Austria back
in 1864, Steyr produced their first
tractor in 1915. What's it worth?
Eight to 10 grand. Are you serious?
Yes.
That's why I don't want to try and
get it sold, really, for Frank.
We're here to make Frank money.
Now that green Steyr is
money in the bank.
He can sell that any day of the week
to collectors but that grey
Fergie is cash that I can
make for Frank.
Henry's steered clear of the Steyr
tractor and instead reckons
he's found a gem in the
little grey Fergie if
he can get her up and running again.
Come on.
And with that,
their search today is complete.
Frank, I've got to tell you,
we have had a ball today.
I don't know how to say this.
I never ever thought, Frank, I would
come to see someone's barns
and sheds and say, "I'd like to take
home the 13 Rolls-Royces, please."
Now, look, Frank, your little model
steam engine over there.
Now I'd love to take that and you
and I know we could make some
good money out of that.
Well, we hope so. We hope so.
Now, look, talking about money.
I love your grey Fergie.
And we're going to clean it up,
make it beautiful and then, hopefully,
bring you back some
decent cash.
I hope so. Frank... We can Frank.
Absolute pleasure, sir.
You've got a gorgeous place and your
collection is amazing.
Thanks very much indeed.
Thank you. Frank.
Coming up... Simon's restorer,
Gemma, is in for a big surprise.
Oh, my gosh.
I've never seen anything like it.
Henry is always on the
lookout for a buyer.
If I can't sell this,
will you have it off me?
And at the second search,
the lads get carried away.
Wahey! Man, I can be your Pamela Anderson.
Upcycling champions Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are turning trash into cash.
This is worth probably more
than either of those.
Seriously? Yes.
And they are ready to begin their
first restorations.
Simon's back in his home town
of Liverpool to show his finds
to restoration expert
Gemma Longworth.
There we are, are you ready? Yeah.
Ta-da!
Oh, my gosh!
Gemma runs upcycling workshops from
her arts and crafts boutique.
I'm going to get you to prepare
your furniture
and we'll get a top layer
on as well today.
But her talents will be tested
with this little lot.
What on earth?
It's a plough. Forget this,
what is this?
Oh, those!
Well, you know, I think you're
a very special lady
and you deserve to have a
Rolls-Royce, and then I thought,
no, let's not have one Rolls-Royce,
let's have 13! There's 13!
The reason I got all of them
is because as you can see,
there are bits missing,
so what I'm thinking is,
if we can get together as many
complete ones as we can,
and then we can think what we're
going to do with the old chassis.
As I say, you kind of look past this
beautiful item here. Yeah.
Now this, is obviously
an old plough.
If we put slats all the way
along it and up the back,
and turn it into
a beautiful garden lounger.
That is a nice idea!
There you go. Yeah.
There's no time like the present
as Simon's already summoned
Ian the blacksmith to help with the
plough's transformation.
The problem with it is,
it's not stable laterally. OK.
I just need an internal frame
building, nice and hidden,
with holes drilled in it
so I can then screw slats to it. OK.
I can see it. I can!
I can see it, yeah.
Ian starts by reinforcing the
plough's legs,
and to make the lounger
even more desirable
he's adding a drinks tray.
While Ian grafts,
Simon's off to a toy shop.
He's taking one of the Rollers to
Nick Hyde, a toy restoration expert.
Can you make them look as pretty as
everything else in here?
We'll certainly have a go.
They do have a commercial value,
indeed they do.
Simon's hoping Nick can restore
some of the broken Rollers
using the other cars
for spare parts.
He hopes to make more money
from some fully restored cars
than 13 broken ones.
What I'm thinking, if we go through
them all
and use some as donor card and that
kind of stuff,
can we get some
in pristine condition?
I'm sure if we've got the parts,
yes, we can do something with it.
It'll be a challenge but we'll
certainly have a go for you.
Looking round here,
I think you can do this.
I think if someone knows
pedal cars it's you.
Back home in Oxfordshire,
Henry's showing off
what he's sourced to restoration
expert Guy Wilson.
It's got new tyres,
it doesn't look like it's
a boneshaker falling apart.
That looks reasonably all right.
I think I've done well for the
first time in my life. Yes!
Like Henry, Guy's mad for machines.
Me and Guy go way back
to when we were 15.
Henry's passion is the same as
mine, it's motorcycles.
He likes riding them and wrecking
them and I like fixing them.
So Henry's two picks are right
up his street.
Now then, have you been having a
look at that? This is beautiful.
There is a massive market for these
out there and I think we can get
some serious money for it.
But we've got to make sure it works.
Steam engines move by creating
pressurised steam
to pump their pistons and wheels,
and herein lies the problem.
They can explode if they haven't
been made safely.
For this little model to be worth
big money,
it'll need a thorough safety check.
Do you like it though? I love it.
Happy days, man, I'm glad you like
it. I like both of these.
The first job today is to try to get
the little Fergie tractor
running again,
so Henry starts by trying the
simpler and cheaper solutions.
Have you put the battery on?
Not quite yet.
Meet local tractor mechanic
Patrick Edwards.
If anyone can help Henry get
the Fergie going, it's him.
Get rid of that then, mate.
The old battery is completely dead
and not holding a charge
so a new one is a must.
This is actually
a home-made tank on here,
it's not the original fuel tank.
Is that going to devalue it?
No, that should be OK.
Right, unleaded going in.
Henry is also replacing the fuel.
Petrol that's been sitting around
for a long period of time
can go off, and this can also be a
reason that the Fergie won't start.
So if I can't sell this will you
have it off me?
Yeah, we'll have it. Good lad.
Hopefully, that's all that's needed
to bring the old Fergie
back to life.
Ignition.
ENGINE STARTS
And we're off! Offski!
With the old Fergie running well,
Henry has scored
a massive success.
Ooh, she rides lovely.
In Liverpool, the plough frame is
back from the blacksmith's
and Simon's cutting slats to turn it
into a sun lounger.
So the idea is now, turn it over,
screw them all in place,
draw your line and then cut them off
while they're in place.
Looking good though.
Might have to thank Henry Cole
for this,
which would hurt me, obviously.
This was a good idea,
even if he was messing.
Using the cleverly hidden frame
made by Ian the blacksmith,
Simon secures the slats
to the plough.
The point about any of these little
tricky jobs like this is,
if your measuring's right
in the first place, it's simple.
It all just depends
on the preparation.
Working his way up the frame,
the rusty old plough is fast
becoming a thing of the past.
OK, all comes down to this.
One cut, get it right,
this is going to be one of the best
things I've ever made.
Using a plank of wood as a guide
to keep the angle consistent,
Simon goes for the cut.
And in no time, the plough
is transformed into a lounger.
Cocktail table... That is finished.
I might just have a little lie down,
have a little rest
before I give it a light sanding.
But there's no time for Simon
to rest on his laurels
as it's now his turn to choose
a candidate for a clear-out.
He's taking Henry to Lincolnshire,
a normally tranquil rural county,
but it was rocked by an earthquake
in 2008,
measuring up to 5.3
on the Richter scale.
And they are here to meet
Alan and Hilary Davies.
A pair of retired headteachers,
Alan and Hilary have made buying
and selling their retirement hobby.
We are very much amateurs at this,
we love what we find,
and we love to see things
restored to their former glory.
We haven't got the skills and the
knowledge to do all of that
so that's why we are very much
looking forward to Simon
and Henry being here today.
Well, don't panic, Hilary,
the captains of clutter are on their
way, albeit very slowly.
Why are we walking down here?
Because it's beautiful,
look at this!
We could have just brought the car
up. They're gorgeous, the Fens.
I tell you something else, it may be
flat around here,
but I'm going to lift your spirits.
I accept that your barn was a good
barn. It was a good barn, thank you.
But this place, you're going
to adore.
Hello, hello, hello, Hilary,
how are you?
Lovely to see you guys,
it's beautiful here.
So, listen, I'm right in thinking,
aren't I,
that you dabble in our kind
of thing, anyway, don't you?
We go to auctions and find things.
The sort of things that I like are
mechanical things
and enginey things,
that sort of thing.
If we do bring you back some cash,
what would you use it for?
Our son lives in Japan, with his
wife and our grandchild,
and we go out there
every couple of years,
so that's why we're doing this,
to raise a little bit of money
to help towards the flight.
Listen, we're going to get you to
the Far East by heading... that way.
That's south. Come on!
The boys must find two items each
to fix up and make a profit on
so neither of them
is hanging around.
Do you mind?
Just get out of the way!
Get out! This is my stuff!
Don't break anything.
Oh, look. Look at this!
Really simple.
That's amazing. Got a deco-esque
feel to it, liking that.
There you go, mate.
What do you reckon?
I'm a movable lamp stand.
That puts everything else in the shade.
THEY LAUGH
That's a pleasure cruiser
from the Norfolk broads,
very close to where we are, man.
This '50s or '60s model boat
would have been made
from a kit and was powered by an
electric motor.
Put a remote-control setup
in there.
It's got a little bit of damage.
You've got to do some work, mate.
Some work!
To repair this and to get this
looking beautiful again,
that's as much work as
repairing a full-size boat.
The model boat
has struck a chord with Simon,
so he's bagged it as his first item.
A real moment of nostalgia for me,
because I spent many happy hours
with my dad making models.
Model aeroplanes, model anything,
and then we'd go
and sail a little model boat that
he'd got me,
so I had to have a little moment.
And that, my friend, is what's known
as a result.
He seems to be in heaven.
Where am I ? I'm all at sea.
Nothing for you in there, mate.
That means there is!
That means there's a whole lot
of stuff!
Hey!
Yes, come on.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
This is a Royal Enfield
Flying Flea.
Probably late '40s,
early '50s, this one.
It's got the wrong petrol tank
on it,
it looks like that's off
a speedway bike.
This lightweight Second World War
motorbike could be dropped
by parachute along with the paratroopers,
providing a means of motorised
battlefield transport.
I tell you what, that is
the basis of a lovely bike
and I can get serious money
for Alan and Hilary with that.
Henry bags a Flying Flea as his
first item
and eager not to be outdone, Simon's
found some wheels of his own.
Have you seen that writing on there?
Look. Hello. What does that say?
It's a Silver Cross.
And what is that?
That is a very, very desirable pram.
It is.
Wham, bam, thank you, pram!
Oh, mind my shoulder!
The Silver Cross pram is similar
to ones used for generations
by the royal family.
A new version of this one sells
for £1,250.
I think we might have a whole pram.
I'm excited, I want to see. What are
we going to do? Take this off?
It's immaculate, mate.
Silver Cross, one of the world's
oldest nursery brands,
was founded in Yorkshire in 1877.
Its prams adopted a C-shaped
sprung undercarriage
commonly used in coach design.
They're beautifully made and people
know that.
They are really resalable.
With the second item banked,
Simon can sleep like a baby.
Goo-goo-goo-goo.
If I wasn't in such a good mood,
you could annoy me.
I've seen something else in there.
Something that's more sort of
in your line of work. What?
Henry has spotted a pair
of brass fireplace fenders.
Let's get them both out and have
a look, shall we?
Let's not make any decisions
in the gloom.
Fenders are used to stop logs and
embers rolling out of the fireplace.
Whilst one is immaculate,
the other has seen better days.
There's not much you can do with
that, really, apart from
giving it a good polish.
That's done.
This, on the other hand,
could be blasted.
We could paint this a really
nice heat resistant colour, perhaps,
and then we could just polish up
that motif beautifully.
Don't tell any of Henry's
friends, but he's becoming
an upcycler. Shh!
It's this, for sure. I love it.
So Henry has the hots for the
fireplace and with two items each,
the boys should be done, but...
There's one door we haven't opened,
isn't there? Oh, yeah!
And you should never, ever, ever
leave a door unopened. Come on then!
How many times do you open a garage
door on something like that?
It's a Volkswagen Beach Buggy. Exactly.
There was no way we were going
to take that,
there is nothing that needs doing
to it, apart from enjoying it
and that's exactly
what Simon and I did.
Hey, hey!
I could be your Pamela Anderson.
I will never be your David
Hasselhoff!
Wouldn't like to see you in
a swimsuit, Henry.
Let's get back to those finds, boys.
Guys, now, look, tell me about the
little Royal Enfield.
Is that a Flying Flea or not?
The original Flying Flea
was something that paratroopers
used during the war,
and this is a 1952 one, and the only
difference that I know of
is it's got teleforks
and not girder forks.
My second item, that lovely fender,
I think that we could do wonders
with that.
It's a beautiful thing. Simon.
That beautiful old model boat,
and this is me in my element.
Now, my second choice,
the Rolls-Royce of prams,
that Silver Cross. I am so pleased
with my two items.
We are over the moon,
we're absolutely beside ourselves.
I think so.
Hopefully, we'll make you some money
for those plane tickets.
Absolutely right.
Listen, guys, absolute pleasure,
what a great day.
Coming up, some items get stitched.
It's like the Chanel of prams.
Others are poked.
It's not safe to run.
And fortunately Henry isn't slammed
at the first valuation.
I think what you've done
is brilliant.
Reclaimers and restorers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien are on a mission
to turn rubbish into readies.
No, there's nothing for you in
there, mate. That means there is!
There is, there's a whole lot
of stuff.
Armed with their final finds
from retired headteachers
Alan and Hilary Davis'
jam-packed outbuildings,
they are back at their bases
and ready to restore.
In Liverpool, Simon is showing
his haul to assistant Gemma.
HE CHUCKLES
What have we got now, Simon?
Well, if you look at
my beautiful model boat,
our beautiful model boat,
isn't that gorgeous?
It is. It's lovely,
it's very interesting.
It's not my cup of tea,
but I can see how it would be
someone's cup of tea.
My cup of tea. Is it?
Don't even look at it.
That's fine, that's fine.
I am going to get stuck into this.
I'm going to get this working,
I'm getting this on the water.
So what needs doing with...?
Oh, so it can go on water?
It's not just, like, a toy?
Well, it's a model. A model, sorry.
If Simon's first item
reminded him of his childhood,
his second item, the pram, is
going to take him back even further.
Oh, wow.
Not just a pram,
a Silver Cross pram. This is fab.
Now... These are worth
a lot of money.
These are worth
an awful lot of money.
So what we need is someone
with some real skill.
That has to be done
if we're going to sell it on.
Yeah, can't look patched.
No, you can do that. Yeah.
You can do that invisible,
can't you? Yeah. Great, OK.
Lost and forgotten
in Alan and Hilary's shed,
the old pram has fallen victim
to hungry rodents, but it's nothing
talented seamstress Gemma
can't sort out.
These types of prams are
just gorgeous.
They're so traditional
and old-fashioned.
Even royalty have these sorts
of prams.
They are like stylish icons down.
It's like the Chanel of prams.
The pram has fallen prey to mice
in Alan and Hilary's shed
so Gemma is darning a few holes
in the rain covers.
So I've got myself some cotton
to match up to this.
Stitch them up
and it's pretty much done.
For the model boat, Gemma needs
some expert help from
remote control
modelling expert Bill.
Simon has brought this boat to me.
We would like to turn it into
a remote control, if possible.
Yeah, it's possible. Is it?
I'll need to have a little look at
it first. Do you want to have a
little look?
Let's see what's in there.
OK...
Yeah, the prop shaft is in there.
Not bad at all.
Just have a look underneath.
Yeah, I think we can do something
with that. OK.
So over to you, then, Bill.
Right. Thank you very much. Take
this with you and I'll see you soon.
OK. All right? Bye now.
Thank you, bye.
Back in Oxfordshire, Henry is
revealing his plans to restore
the 1950s paratrooper bike.
Now then... I think
you're going to like this.
Aesthetically it's well cool.
Now also, can I just tell you?
Obviously, what's the problem
with the speedway tank? Range.
Exactly, mate.
This does sip fuel at a very
miserly rate, but even so,
what you reckon in that? 50 miles?
Yeah, probably. But I've got a plan.
Now look, nice little
leather strap on there
and just have that on the back.
And I think the red, just clean
the tank up, not paint it. No.
Just red with a lovely little brass,
polished up there
and you've got some slosh in the
back there just in case you think
you want to go over 30 miles,
50 miles.
HORN TOOTS
For the fireplace fender,
the boys are visiting
sandblaster Darren to strip
the fender back to the base metal.
I reckon we blast it. Yeah.
We Briwax, we wax it and then
we polish up this brass.
Can we blast the brass as well?
Yeah, you can.
We'll just be gentle with it.
Come on, then.
While the boys leave Darren
to sandblast all the rust
and paint off the tired old fender...
Oh, yes, this is going to look fab, man.
...they've asked Jimmy the local
cobbler to craft a strap to secure
the reserve fuel tank to the
Royal Enfield Flying Flea motorbike.
Back at base, Henry and Guy's
attention returns
to their first finds.
The Little Grey Fergie is finished
and Les, a steam engine enthusiast,
has popped by
to give Frank's miniature
steam engine the once over.
Hello, mate. Hi, Henry. How you
doing? Good to see you, mate.
Thanks for coming, man.
Because we are, you've got to
understand, flummoxed.
Yeah, yeah. Tell me about this one.
Well, the thing is, when you buy
an engine like this, you've got to
look under here and find a stamp
number, which goes across here.
And it is most important because
it's the heart of the engine.
And it hasn't got one?
It hasn't got one.
And if we have a look round here... OK.
Oh, my God, what's that?
...there's a hole in there.
And that's not good at all.
That is dangerous.
You can't steam that.
If you put water in there,
it'll all come out.
It's not safe. It's not safe to run.
I know Les as a mate and he's come
round and he's shot from the hip.
Because if we were to run
that engine at a steam fair,
with the public present,
and that thing blew up...
I mean, you'd never
forgive yourself, would you?
If that was me and I really,
really wanted to keep the engine,
is to get another boiler,
throw that away and start again.
But the price of a boiler today,
it's not worth it.
The engine's not worth it.
Disappointing news for Henry.
Let's hope things are going
a bit more smoothly in Liverpool.
Nick, the model expert, has been
hard at work restoring the miniature
Rolls-Royces using some of the
more battered models as donor cars.
Wow, look at this!
Ah, Lady Penelope.
That has come up a treat, hasn't it?
They're amazing, aren't they?
That is brand-new. Yeah.
So, exactly what we said
was going to happen.
All the bits and pieces off all
the old ones have been put together
and we've got three that are in
pristine condition. Really?
Are they all as good as this?
Yeah. Wow.
If you're into model cars, toy cars,
then these are very desirable.
Well, you'd expect so, wouldn't you?
It's a Rolls-Royce, after all.
It's lovely. There you go.
Let's see if Simon's confidence
is well-founded as it's time
for the first all-important
valuation.
Henry chose to help retired
scrap metal man Frank Brinkley.
The lads rescued and restored
two items each.
With Frank unable to attend
today's valuation, he sent friend
Dudley Mason on his behalf.
And as the previous owner of the
mini Rolls-Royces, he's intrigued
to find out if the lads have managed
to add value to Frank's items.
How are you? I'm well, thanks.
Good to see you. Nice to meet you.
Well, look, dear boy,
feast your eyes.
This is what we've been
spending our time doing.
They are absolutely beautiful,
aren't they?
I worked on some of these for ages
and couldn't get them anything like
half as good.
To have them that complete
with new windscreens,
everything on them, to get
the best value out of them.
Absolutely, I reckon.
But talking about value, let's
find out, because it's not up to us
to let you know how much
we could get for these things,
it is up to our independent valuer, Alicia.
An upcycling expert with her own
successful London business,
Alicia Moore has made her name
accurately valuing reclaimed items
for retail.
Come on, Alicia, let's start
with the tractor. Ooh!
Yes, it's a Grey Ferguson, 1950s.
It's a TVO model.
And had it been diesel, it would
have been worth a bit more money.
To get the Little Grey Fergie
back up and running,
Henry spent just £60
on a new battery.
Bit of a shame that there's
different tyres on the front,
but I think you could reasonably
expect to achieve £1,000 for it.
I didn't want to spend loads of
money that actually we'd have to
deduct off the sale price on
actually re-spraying it, you know?
Because what it is there
is a very functional tractor.
Now, I have an offer
of £1,100 for it.
With a buyer already lined up,
the Little Grey has put Frank in
the black with a profit of £1,040.
Steam engine. Steam engine.
Despite high hopes,
the miniature steam engine was
in a bad way and deemed unsafe.
Any repairs would have wiped out
all the potential profit.
We know it doesn't have the boiler
certificate, and if it did have
its certificate, it could be worth
anywhere in the region of £3-£5,000.
Astonishing bit of money.
Unfortunately, it doesn't.
It's more of a decorative piece
at the moment and because of that,
I can only evaluate it at £1,250.
Even in its state of disrepair,
the steam engine has still added
an impressive £1,250
to Frank's total.
Very, very difficult thing to value
in its current state of tune,
shall we say.
But it's lovely and clean,
though, Dudley.
It is nice and clean. As clean
as it's been for years, I think.
Yeah, that's great stuff.
Right, now I'm going to test
our valuer.
Can you tell me intrinsically
what is an old plough frame
that was stuck in a hedge worth?
Uh, now - much, much more.
Thank you.
I think what you've done
is brilliant.
Simon salvaged a rusty old plough
frame, repurposing it
into a stylish lounger,
at a cost of £120.
It is, again,
a great example of upcycling.
You essentially had a plough
doing nothing and now you have
a beautiful deckchair.
I think you could reasonably expect
to achieve £250 for this.
That's absolutely amazing because
Frank had put a nil value on that.
There you go, mate.
With a bit of creative magic
the lounger has made a comfortable
£130 profit for Frank.
Finally, I really will be sad to see
the back of the Rollers because
I can tell you, nothing has given me
greater joy than going to my
local pub and saying, "I've got
13 Rolls-Royces in me workshop."
HENRY LAUGHS
I have explained to them that
most of them are pedal cars
but never mind.
Come on, value of these.
Right. These are adorable,
aren't they?
Simon spent £150 taking
the mini Rollers to a toy expert
who lovingly restored three of them
to mint condition.
They could easily achieve £200 each.
200...
What do you reckon, Dudley?
I think they're probably worth
a little bit more than that.
Do you think? So Alicia
for once in her life
might be undervaluing something.
Well, there's a surprise!
Even by Alicia's cautious estimate,
the toy cars have rolled in
a further £450 profit for Frank
to round off the valuation.
So, I'm sure you want to know,
Dudley, how much in total
of the money coming back
to Frank is.
£2,870.
I think that's pretty good going.
Frank will be delighted.
Well, mate, look, it's been
a pleasure and great fun.
Thank you very much indeed.
Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.
Thanks to the lads' hard graft,
Frank Brinkley has made
a total profit of £2,870.
He'll probably buy something
which we all think is ridiculous
to buy and he'll make
some more money on it.
I've got a trailer I want to sell
him so I might persuade him
this is worth what he's getting.
Coming up, more makeover magic.
Ah, it's going to look so posh.
Gemma strikes a deal
that floats Simon's boat.
You've got a deal if you want.
Oh, brilliant. I'm made up.
Thanks, Sandy.
And high praise at
the second valuation.
Oh, look, it's the pram.
You've done so well.
Isn't that gorgeous?
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are on a mission
to restore clutter and make
a profit for their owners.
This is gonna look fab, man.
Henry chose to help retired scrap
metal man, Frank Brinkley,
making him £2,870.
Thank you very much indeed.
Now competitive Simon wants to
make even more cash for
retired head teachers,
Alan and Hillary Davis,
who hope any money raised will
allow them to travel
to Japan for a family reunion.
And he's hoping with restorer
Gemma's help,
he'll have his items looking like
new ready for the final valuation.
I'm just using
a nice metal cleaner on this,
like a polish, a metal polish.
And that's just bringing up this
pram really well.
Gemma's darned holes in the hood
and gave the old pram
a thorough clean and polish.
Right, that's nice and clean.
I think that's ready for
someone to put their child in.
With the Silver Cross now in
immaculate and profitable condition,
it's time to check on the
toy boat's progress.
It's reasonably sound.
There was a few bits on it
that were falling to bits.
But you'd expect that with
a boat of this age.
So I've replaced these
little side windows.
I've had to put in a new prop shaft.
This is the part that drives
the propeller,
which is underneath here.
The next thing we need is a motor.
Bill installs an electric motor,
battery and radio control unit
and it's ready for its
test on the water.
Wholly stable.
Nice boat.
A success in Liverpool.
All right, son.
But back in Oxfordshire,
Henry's less happy
with how the fireplace fender
has turned out.
Under the rust and paint, the bare
metal is of a very poor quality.
I don't think it's gonna
look that good.
I don't either having seen it.
What happens, right... Mmm.
...if we actually
powder coat it black?
Wait. Gloss,
with a bit of gold metallic flake?
Yes. But it might look quite
nice actually.
Then, instead of polishing this
brass, we powder coated it gold?
So paint, it is.
With the brass fittings removed,
the fender's heading back to
the paint shop.
Look at that.
Powder coating relies on the
electromagnetic pigment
sticking to the bare metal.
Oh, man.
Oh, it's gonna look so posh!
When completed covered,
the paint is melted in a vast oven.
At a cost of £150,
the fender is beautifully restored.
Oh, yes, come to daddy!
Back at the workshop, Guy's giving
the Flying Flea motorbike
some last minute TLC, while Henry's
polishing up the petrol can.
Oh, it's great stuff, innit,
brake cleaner?
Just takes everything off.
Including the paint, yeah. Yeah.
HENRY LAUGHS
Guy's back on the mop,
polishing the brass cap
and Henry is using Jimmy the
cobbler's custom-made strap
to fix the petrol can to the motorcycle,
completing its restoration.
Have you got it? There you go.
Oh, mate, that is lovely.
Whoa, beautiful.
Mate, quality. Yeah.
Right, this is gonna be it.
It's always a nice finishing touch,
isn't it?
Da-na! That's it, man!
Quality job, mate, quality. Mmm.
The bike was a runner
so all Henry and Guy needed to do
was a thorough clean to present it
in the best saleable condition.
With work finished in Oxfordshire,
up in Liverpool,
Simon's just taken delivery of the
finished model boat.
Oh, is this out boat back?!
Look what's back from Bill.
We have... Oh, wow! ..our tiller.
And then, hopefully... Oh!
WHIRRING
Yeah, look at that!
Oh, that's good.
So can this go in water now?
But Gemma's not daft.
She's already lined up a buyer for
this 50-year-old model boat.
She's off to meet Sandy,
who owns an antique and curious shop
in the city.
Is this the engine in the back, then?
Yeah, it's in full working order.
It's got a battery there
by the looks of it. Yeah.
I absolutely love it.
Do you like it?
It's an old memory to me, this.
Is it? Would you be interested
in something like this, Sandy?
I certainly would, yeah, I love it.
Would you? I really love it.
Brilliant. Got a deal.
Oh, brilliant. Thanks, Sandy.
Thank you. Okay-dokey!
Thank you. Thanks, Gemma.
A model sale in Liverpool,
but it's sink or swim time
for the other restored items.
At the final valuation...
Simon chose to help
retired head teachers,
Alan and Hillary Davis,
from Lincolnshire,
who want some cash for
a family reunion.
And Simon's hoping his choice can
top the £2,870 raised by
Henry's search.
There we go.
Ooh! That's a long time since
I've seen that.
Oh, my goodness, look at that!
Oh, look at that! Wow!
That's not the same one. It is!
That is awesome, that is.
We got a nice little bit
of gold fleck in there,
so hopefully in front of the fire...
Oh, yes! ..the black will glitter.
I bet it does, yeah.
Oh, look at the state of the pram!
Oh, you've done so well. Gorgeous.
I've had great fun doing these and
we hope we've added value
to them. Well.
But we don't know if we have,
but we do have an independent
valuer, Alecia. Oh, right.
Retailer of upcycled furniture,
Alecia Moore is back.
Where shall we start?
Let's start with that lovely pram.
Isn't it pretty? They've been
carting royal babies around
since 1877. Can you believe it?
Simon rebuilt the pram and Gemma
repaired the material,
so getting this pram fit for
a king hasn't cost a single penny.
It has the original mattress,
the apron, the rain cover.
I think it would be reasonable
to expect £300.
Wow. £300?
Yeah. That's good.
I think that's brilliant.
The Silver Cross pram has made
a princely profit of £300
for Alan and Hillary.
Let's move on... Yeah.
...to my lovely fun, fun, fun,
fun model boat.
Yes, the vintage Wavemaster.
To get the toy boat seaworthy,
Simon spent £100 getting it repaired
and restored.
It's in very good condition,
the radio's installed.
It's not made of mahogany or teak,
which would have raised its value.
It's made from a softwood but for
the enthusiast, this is brilliant.
I think it would be reasonable to
expect £150. Wow. Really?
Alecia's on the money as Gemma sold
the boat for exactly that,
making another £50 for Alan
and Hillary.
OK. Motorcycle, Alecia.
Isn't it exciting?
It's amazing. They could chuck this
off a plane, land on the ground
and it would still be rideable.
It's a testament to its manufacturer.
The old bike only needed
a good clean-up
but Henry did splash
out £20 on a new belt
for the spare fuel tank.
They're rare,
as you probably already know. Yes.
It doesn't have its original,
all of its original pieces,
which, unfortunately,
does devalue it considerably.
If it had all of its original
pieces, the estimate
would be double. In its current
condition, I would safely say
it's worth £700.
Right. Good.
The vintage motorcycle has revved up
a further £680 in profit.
Fender, let's talk fender,
shall we? Incredible.
Looks quite glorious, doesn't it?
Been restored perfectly.
Getting the fender looking
red hot cost £150
for sandblasting and powder coating.
Because it's been restored to
such good condition,
I would evaluate that at £300.
Wow.
You're happy with that?
Paid a tenner for it!
Oh, wow, wonderful!
You paid a tenner for it?!
Yes, at an auction, yes. Did you
really? Nobody else wanted it.
A top result for Henry!
A profit of £150.
That means you're going home
today with £1,180.
Oh, very nice.
How about that? Lovely. Yes!
It's been absolute pleasure.
Thank you very much.
Absolutely gorgeous to talk to you.
Thank you.
If you just have
a chat with Henry for a while,
I'll be back.
No, no, no, you can't...
THEY LAUGH
Just one more go!
We can see you, we can see you.
Don't devalue it!
So Simon's choice of location
has earned Hillary and Alan...
The renovations are superb,
particularly the fender.
I did not recognise that.
That's extraordinary.
Far better than we ever thought
it would ever, ever be.
It was really great to see. Yes.
But with £2,870 profit,
it's Henry's choice,
Frank Brinkley's place,
that's made the most money today.
Just celebrating.
2870, £2,870 plays...
HENRY COUGHS
...£1,180, but that's really
irrelevant, innit,
cos I fleeced you.
SIMON GIGGLES
What are you laughing for?
I'm in a permanently good
mood today.
Why? Cos I'm gonna have a go on my
boat. You coming? Oh, yeah, OK.
Come on! Hey hey! It's brilliant!
Can I go first?
No, you can't! No, please!
Subtitles by Ericsson
The homes of Britain are stacked
with old possessions.
It's an old toilet.
Thanks for telling me!
What looks like junk can
actually be worth a pretty penny.
I've never seen a chair like it.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that
clutter into hard cash.
Pretty immaculate. Between 14 and 17 grand.
Up-cycling genius, Simon...
It works! Don't sound so surprised.
...and his restorer love turning
everyday objects into
fantastic furniture.
Gemma, come on.
Absolute winner.
BELL RINGS
Whilst, for Henry and his mechanic...
That is absolutely stunning, Guy.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
She's on! It runs!
Despite their differences,
they always come good and they'll
turn a tidy profit for their owners.
You're going to put in your
pocket £10,630.
That's great. Absolutely brilliant.
Today...
Hang on. Mr O'Brien, I'm so sorry.
...Simon puts Henry in his place.
Don't look me in the eye.
Don't look me in the eye, I'm going
into a shed. Carry on, Sir.
Simon's not one to do things by half.
What on earth...?
Let's not have one Rolls-Royce,
let's have 13.
Oh, she rides lovely.
And Henry is back in the saddle. Wahey.
I'm just having another look at the
sat nav, if that's all right?
As usual, you've
no idea where we are, do you?
I don't have any idea at all.
The boys are back on the road.
This time, they're in Suffolk.
Famous for its stunning
coastline and heaths,
Suffolk's county town, Ipswich,
is one of the oldest in England.
The reason it's called England is
because of this area. East Anglia.
The Anglians were here when
the Normans invaded and so the
Normans called it Angleland.
And the residents of Angleland
split their land into the
north folk and their south folk,
now better known today as
Norfolk and Suffolk.
Today, Henry is choosing the
candidate for
a clear out which can mean only one
thing - Simon's in trouble.
We're going to go and see Frank.
Yes. Now, prepare yourself. Why?
He's known for a tractor or two.
Scrap metal merchant,
Frank Brinkley,
has a passion for all things mechanical.
The yard opposite his house is
a treasure trove of vintage
tractors, cars and bikes.
Well, I've been in Brettenham all my life.
85 year, when I started with
about four quid, I think.
I went round the villages pushing
the pram and putting the
scrap in the pram and that's
how I started.
Frank's two acre yard combines his
scrap business and his
beloved vehicle
collection, but now Frank
has decided to slow down and start
cashing in his portfolio of motors.
I've kept a few bits and pieces that
I thought might come into
money one day.
Oh, Henry, can you try and just
stay on the road?
Frank. Hello. How are you, mate?
I'm Henry. How are you doing?
All right. Hiya, Frank? Simon.
How are you? All right.
How long have you been here,
Frank? Since 47.
So you've been collecting stuff all
that time? Well, yeah. Rubbish.
We'll be the judge of that, Frank.
Henry and Simon need to find two
items each to fix up and flog
on to raise as much cash as they can.
Don't touch that.
It's a Rolls-Royce. This is more
your thing. Little Austin.
Hey, look, do you fancy sitting in
the Roller? Yeah.
Yeah, you can sit in the back, then.
Quite right.
Oh, no, that's wrong, isn't it?
No, that's right.
Looks like Simon's enjoying this bit
of a Rolls reversal.
Frank says Princess Anne used to
ride round in that gold Rolls-Royce.
And Simon O'Brien.
That's what Princess Anne will be
telling her friends, you know.
Simon O'Brien's been in that car.
Gold Rollers from the '70s, I don't
know whether they're actually
worth a great deal or
that desirable.
This old Roller's too big for both
Henry and Simon. Thank you.
Don't look me in the eye.
Don't look me in the eye,
I'm going into a shed. Wow!
But Simon's spotted something
more his size.
Yep, a fleet of mini Rollers.
These are cool. Man, that's great.
The lock-up contains 13 peddle and
battery-powered Rolls-Royces.
They must be official Rolls-Royce
merchandise, wouldn't they?
Do you think so? Well, they must be.
They would never give permission to
put the insignia on anything else.
No, it would have to be. Spot on.
Manufactured in the 1980s, these
Rolls-Royce cars were available
exclusively from Harrods and
official Rolls-Royce dealerships.
There's more.
These old Rollers are now highly
collectable with immaculate examples
selling for hundreds, so Simon wants
a whole fleet as his first pick.
I think it's fantastic you're
taking away something with
four wheels. OK.
Yeah, because you were so grumpy
this morning and you are having
a field day. Me, on the other hand,
have nothing.
Good point, yeah. That's put
me in an even better mood.
There you are, mate.
One down, one to go.
So, a happy Simon decides to look
beyond the sea of cars. Come on.
Grab this. What? It's to do with a
plough, isn't it? It might be.
Get it right out. Simon's spotted an
old plough frame.
I'm pondering. Yeah?
But this seasoned up-cycler
is stumped to find a new use for it.
What do you reckon? Chaise longue.
What do you think?
That's not the worst idea you've
ever had. Are you really sure?
Put slats along here like this and
up the back. It's a sun lounger.
With Henry's idea,
Simon's plumping for the plough but
Henry's not yet off the mark.
You brought me to an automotive
junkyard and you are empty-handed.
Am I worried? A little bit.
I'm feeling that I'm getting
closer to something. Wow.
Core blimey O'Reilly. Look.
This is my paradise.
But, amazingly, Henry
only has eyes for one thing.
Now these things are hugely
desirable. To get them going...
Do you mind with your foot?
I mean, this is worth probably more
than either of those. Thank you.
Seriously? Yes.
Steam traction engines such as this
Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies model
can get hobbyists very hot
under the collar.
Henry knows that the best engines
can cost £4-£5000.
ENGINE WHISTLES
Do you know what makes me laugh?
What? We're in a shed... Yes.
...with a Triumph Bonneville and
a Harley-Davidson and you're
interested in a toy.
I'll tell you why, mate.
These are glorious but I can't add
value for Frank, but I think I can
with this. I'll take my foot off. Roger.
With the steam engine banked,
Henry is finally on the right track.
What a lovely shed, hey?
But we're reaching the end of the
line. Come on.
Only one shed to go. We walk in.
LAUGHTER
Take a look at these.
Oh, come on. Look lively.
Tell me what that one is?
Is it a Massey Ferguson? Nearly.
It's a little grey Ferguson.
The little grey Fergie was a popular
choice for farmers in the '40s and
'50s and its reliability means it's
a big draw for collectors today.
Something like this, as it stands,
you know, hundreds, late hundreds.
Perhaps 1,000, but if we did it up...
Looks like Henry's unearthed
a potential item, or has he?
Blimey, I've never seen one of them
before. Here, come on.
Step this way.
Wait for me, wait for me! Come on.
This is called a Steyr and these
are as rare as rocking horse poo.
A Steyr tractor in perfect condition
is the Holy Grail for tractor enthusiasts.
Initially founded as
a rifle manufacturer in Austria back
in 1864, Steyr produced their first
tractor in 1915. What's it worth?
Eight to 10 grand. Are you serious?
Yes.
That's why I don't want to try and
get it sold, really, for Frank.
We're here to make Frank money.
Now that green Steyr is
money in the bank.
He can sell that any day of the week
to collectors but that grey
Fergie is cash that I can
make for Frank.
Henry's steered clear of the Steyr
tractor and instead reckons
he's found a gem in the
little grey Fergie if
he can get her up and running again.
Come on.
And with that,
their search today is complete.
Frank, I've got to tell you,
we have had a ball today.
I don't know how to say this.
I never ever thought, Frank, I would
come to see someone's barns
and sheds and say, "I'd like to take
home the 13 Rolls-Royces, please."
Now, look, Frank, your little model
steam engine over there.
Now I'd love to take that and you
and I know we could make some
good money out of that.
Well, we hope so. We hope so.
Now, look, talking about money.
I love your grey Fergie.
And we're going to clean it up,
make it beautiful and then, hopefully,
bring you back some
decent cash.
I hope so. Frank... We can Frank.
Absolute pleasure, sir.
You've got a gorgeous place and your
collection is amazing.
Thanks very much indeed.
Thank you. Frank.
Coming up... Simon's restorer,
Gemma, is in for a big surprise.
Oh, my gosh.
I've never seen anything like it.
Henry is always on the
lookout for a buyer.
If I can't sell this,
will you have it off me?
And at the second search,
the lads get carried away.
Wahey! Man, I can be your Pamela Anderson.
Upcycling champions Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien
are turning trash into cash.
This is worth probably more
than either of those.
Seriously? Yes.
And they are ready to begin their
first restorations.
Simon's back in his home town
of Liverpool to show his finds
to restoration expert
Gemma Longworth.
There we are, are you ready? Yeah.
Ta-da!
Oh, my gosh!
Gemma runs upcycling workshops from
her arts and crafts boutique.
I'm going to get you to prepare
your furniture
and we'll get a top layer
on as well today.
But her talents will be tested
with this little lot.
What on earth?
It's a plough. Forget this,
what is this?
Oh, those!
Well, you know, I think you're
a very special lady
and you deserve to have a
Rolls-Royce, and then I thought,
no, let's not have one Rolls-Royce,
let's have 13! There's 13!
The reason I got all of them
is because as you can see,
there are bits missing,
so what I'm thinking is,
if we can get together as many
complete ones as we can,
and then we can think what we're
going to do with the old chassis.
As I say, you kind of look past this
beautiful item here. Yeah.
Now this, is obviously
an old plough.
If we put slats all the way
along it and up the back,
and turn it into
a beautiful garden lounger.
That is a nice idea!
There you go. Yeah.
There's no time like the present
as Simon's already summoned
Ian the blacksmith to help with the
plough's transformation.
The problem with it is,
it's not stable laterally. OK.
I just need an internal frame
building, nice and hidden,
with holes drilled in it
so I can then screw slats to it. OK.
I can see it. I can!
I can see it, yeah.
Ian starts by reinforcing the
plough's legs,
and to make the lounger
even more desirable
he's adding a drinks tray.
While Ian grafts,
Simon's off to a toy shop.
He's taking one of the Rollers to
Nick Hyde, a toy restoration expert.
Can you make them look as pretty as
everything else in here?
We'll certainly have a go.
They do have a commercial value,
indeed they do.
Simon's hoping Nick can restore
some of the broken Rollers
using the other cars
for spare parts.
He hopes to make more money
from some fully restored cars
than 13 broken ones.
What I'm thinking, if we go through
them all
and use some as donor card and that
kind of stuff,
can we get some
in pristine condition?
I'm sure if we've got the parts,
yes, we can do something with it.
It'll be a challenge but we'll
certainly have a go for you.
Looking round here,
I think you can do this.
I think if someone knows
pedal cars it's you.
Back home in Oxfordshire,
Henry's showing off
what he's sourced to restoration
expert Guy Wilson.
It's got new tyres,
it doesn't look like it's
a boneshaker falling apart.
That looks reasonably all right.
I think I've done well for the
first time in my life. Yes!
Like Henry, Guy's mad for machines.
Me and Guy go way back
to when we were 15.
Henry's passion is the same as
mine, it's motorcycles.
He likes riding them and wrecking
them and I like fixing them.
So Henry's two picks are right
up his street.
Now then, have you been having a
look at that? This is beautiful.
There is a massive market for these
out there and I think we can get
some serious money for it.
But we've got to make sure it works.
Steam engines move by creating
pressurised steam
to pump their pistons and wheels,
and herein lies the problem.
They can explode if they haven't
been made safely.
For this little model to be worth
big money,
it'll need a thorough safety check.
Do you like it though? I love it.
Happy days, man, I'm glad you like
it. I like both of these.
The first job today is to try to get
the little Fergie tractor
running again,
so Henry starts by trying the
simpler and cheaper solutions.
Have you put the battery on?
Not quite yet.
Meet local tractor mechanic
Patrick Edwards.
If anyone can help Henry get
the Fergie going, it's him.
Get rid of that then, mate.
The old battery is completely dead
and not holding a charge
so a new one is a must.
This is actually
a home-made tank on here,
it's not the original fuel tank.
Is that going to devalue it?
No, that should be OK.
Right, unleaded going in.
Henry is also replacing the fuel.
Petrol that's been sitting around
for a long period of time
can go off, and this can also be a
reason that the Fergie won't start.
So if I can't sell this will you
have it off me?
Yeah, we'll have it. Good lad.
Hopefully, that's all that's needed
to bring the old Fergie
back to life.
Ignition.
ENGINE STARTS
And we're off! Offski!
With the old Fergie running well,
Henry has scored
a massive success.
Ooh, she rides lovely.
In Liverpool, the plough frame is
back from the blacksmith's
and Simon's cutting slats to turn it
into a sun lounger.
So the idea is now, turn it over,
screw them all in place,
draw your line and then cut them off
while they're in place.
Looking good though.
Might have to thank Henry Cole
for this,
which would hurt me, obviously.
This was a good idea,
even if he was messing.
Using the cleverly hidden frame
made by Ian the blacksmith,
Simon secures the slats
to the plough.
The point about any of these little
tricky jobs like this is,
if your measuring's right
in the first place, it's simple.
It all just depends
on the preparation.
Working his way up the frame,
the rusty old plough is fast
becoming a thing of the past.
OK, all comes down to this.
One cut, get it right,
this is going to be one of the best
things I've ever made.
Using a plank of wood as a guide
to keep the angle consistent,
Simon goes for the cut.
And in no time, the plough
is transformed into a lounger.
Cocktail table... That is finished.
I might just have a little lie down,
have a little rest
before I give it a light sanding.
But there's no time for Simon
to rest on his laurels
as it's now his turn to choose
a candidate for a clear-out.
He's taking Henry to Lincolnshire,
a normally tranquil rural county,
but it was rocked by an earthquake
in 2008,
measuring up to 5.3
on the Richter scale.
And they are here to meet
Alan and Hilary Davies.
A pair of retired headteachers,
Alan and Hilary have made buying
and selling their retirement hobby.
We are very much amateurs at this,
we love what we find,
and we love to see things
restored to their former glory.
We haven't got the skills and the
knowledge to do all of that
so that's why we are very much
looking forward to Simon
and Henry being here today.
Well, don't panic, Hilary,
the captains of clutter are on their
way, albeit very slowly.
Why are we walking down here?
Because it's beautiful,
look at this!
We could have just brought the car
up. They're gorgeous, the Fens.
I tell you something else, it may be
flat around here,
but I'm going to lift your spirits.
I accept that your barn was a good
barn. It was a good barn, thank you.
But this place, you're going
to adore.
Hello, hello, hello, Hilary,
how are you?
Lovely to see you guys,
it's beautiful here.
So, listen, I'm right in thinking,
aren't I,
that you dabble in our kind
of thing, anyway, don't you?
We go to auctions and find things.
The sort of things that I like are
mechanical things
and enginey things,
that sort of thing.
If we do bring you back some cash,
what would you use it for?
Our son lives in Japan, with his
wife and our grandchild,
and we go out there
every couple of years,
so that's why we're doing this,
to raise a little bit of money
to help towards the flight.
Listen, we're going to get you to
the Far East by heading... that way.
That's south. Come on!
The boys must find two items each
to fix up and make a profit on
so neither of them
is hanging around.
Do you mind?
Just get out of the way!
Get out! This is my stuff!
Don't break anything.
Oh, look. Look at this!
Really simple.
That's amazing. Got a deco-esque
feel to it, liking that.
There you go, mate.
What do you reckon?
I'm a movable lamp stand.
That puts everything else in the shade.
THEY LAUGH
That's a pleasure cruiser
from the Norfolk broads,
very close to where we are, man.
This '50s or '60s model boat
would have been made
from a kit and was powered by an
electric motor.
Put a remote-control setup
in there.
It's got a little bit of damage.
You've got to do some work, mate.
Some work!
To repair this and to get this
looking beautiful again,
that's as much work as
repairing a full-size boat.
The model boat
has struck a chord with Simon,
so he's bagged it as his first item.
A real moment of nostalgia for me,
because I spent many happy hours
with my dad making models.
Model aeroplanes, model anything,
and then we'd go
and sail a little model boat that
he'd got me,
so I had to have a little moment.
And that, my friend, is what's known
as a result.
He seems to be in heaven.
Where am I ? I'm all at sea.
Nothing for you in there, mate.
That means there is!
That means there's a whole lot
of stuff!
Hey!
Yes, come on.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
This is a Royal Enfield
Flying Flea.
Probably late '40s,
early '50s, this one.
It's got the wrong petrol tank
on it,
it looks like that's off
a speedway bike.
This lightweight Second World War
motorbike could be dropped
by parachute along with the paratroopers,
providing a means of motorised
battlefield transport.
I tell you what, that is
the basis of a lovely bike
and I can get serious money
for Alan and Hilary with that.
Henry bags a Flying Flea as his
first item
and eager not to be outdone, Simon's
found some wheels of his own.
Have you seen that writing on there?
Look. Hello. What does that say?
It's a Silver Cross.
And what is that?
That is a very, very desirable pram.
It is.
Wham, bam, thank you, pram!
Oh, mind my shoulder!
The Silver Cross pram is similar
to ones used for generations
by the royal family.
A new version of this one sells
for £1,250.
I think we might have a whole pram.
I'm excited, I want to see. What are
we going to do? Take this off?
It's immaculate, mate.
Silver Cross, one of the world's
oldest nursery brands,
was founded in Yorkshire in 1877.
Its prams adopted a C-shaped
sprung undercarriage
commonly used in coach design.
They're beautifully made and people
know that.
They are really resalable.
With the second item banked,
Simon can sleep like a baby.
Goo-goo-goo-goo.
If I wasn't in such a good mood,
you could annoy me.
I've seen something else in there.
Something that's more sort of
in your line of work. What?
Henry has spotted a pair
of brass fireplace fenders.
Let's get them both out and have
a look, shall we?
Let's not make any decisions
in the gloom.
Fenders are used to stop logs and
embers rolling out of the fireplace.
Whilst one is immaculate,
the other has seen better days.
There's not much you can do with
that, really, apart from
giving it a good polish.
That's done.
This, on the other hand,
could be blasted.
We could paint this a really
nice heat resistant colour, perhaps,
and then we could just polish up
that motif beautifully.
Don't tell any of Henry's
friends, but he's becoming
an upcycler. Shh!
It's this, for sure. I love it.
So Henry has the hots for the
fireplace and with two items each,
the boys should be done, but...
There's one door we haven't opened,
isn't there? Oh, yeah!
And you should never, ever, ever
leave a door unopened. Come on then!
How many times do you open a garage
door on something like that?
It's a Volkswagen Beach Buggy. Exactly.
There was no way we were going
to take that,
there is nothing that needs doing
to it, apart from enjoying it
and that's exactly
what Simon and I did.
Hey, hey!
I could be your Pamela Anderson.
I will never be your David
Hasselhoff!
Wouldn't like to see you in
a swimsuit, Henry.
Let's get back to those finds, boys.
Guys, now, look, tell me about the
little Royal Enfield.
Is that a Flying Flea or not?
The original Flying Flea
was something that paratroopers
used during the war,
and this is a 1952 one, and the only
difference that I know of
is it's got teleforks
and not girder forks.
My second item, that lovely fender,
I think that we could do wonders
with that.
It's a beautiful thing. Simon.
That beautiful old model boat,
and this is me in my element.
Now, my second choice,
the Rolls-Royce of prams,
that Silver Cross. I am so pleased
with my two items.
We are over the moon,
we're absolutely beside ourselves.
I think so.
Hopefully, we'll make you some money
for those plane tickets.
Absolutely right.
Listen, guys, absolute pleasure,
what a great day.
Coming up, some items get stitched.
It's like the Chanel of prams.
Others are poked.
It's not safe to run.
And fortunately Henry isn't slammed
at the first valuation.
I think what you've done
is brilliant.
Reclaimers and restorers Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien are on a mission
to turn rubbish into readies.
No, there's nothing for you in
there, mate. That means there is!
There is, there's a whole lot
of stuff.
Armed with their final finds
from retired headteachers
Alan and Hilary Davis'
jam-packed outbuildings,
they are back at their bases
and ready to restore.
In Liverpool, Simon is showing
his haul to assistant Gemma.
HE CHUCKLES
What have we got now, Simon?
Well, if you look at
my beautiful model boat,
our beautiful model boat,
isn't that gorgeous?
It is. It's lovely,
it's very interesting.
It's not my cup of tea,
but I can see how it would be
someone's cup of tea.
My cup of tea. Is it?
Don't even look at it.
That's fine, that's fine.
I am going to get stuck into this.
I'm going to get this working,
I'm getting this on the water.
So what needs doing with...?
Oh, so it can go on water?
It's not just, like, a toy?
Well, it's a model. A model, sorry.
If Simon's first item
reminded him of his childhood,
his second item, the pram, is
going to take him back even further.
Oh, wow.
Not just a pram,
a Silver Cross pram. This is fab.
Now... These are worth
a lot of money.
These are worth
an awful lot of money.
So what we need is someone
with some real skill.
That has to be done
if we're going to sell it on.
Yeah, can't look patched.
No, you can do that. Yeah.
You can do that invisible,
can't you? Yeah. Great, OK.
Lost and forgotten
in Alan and Hilary's shed,
the old pram has fallen victim
to hungry rodents, but it's nothing
talented seamstress Gemma
can't sort out.
These types of prams are
just gorgeous.
They're so traditional
and old-fashioned.
Even royalty have these sorts
of prams.
They are like stylish icons down.
It's like the Chanel of prams.
The pram has fallen prey to mice
in Alan and Hilary's shed
so Gemma is darning a few holes
in the rain covers.
So I've got myself some cotton
to match up to this.
Stitch them up
and it's pretty much done.
For the model boat, Gemma needs
some expert help from
remote control
modelling expert Bill.
Simon has brought this boat to me.
We would like to turn it into
a remote control, if possible.
Yeah, it's possible. Is it?
I'll need to have a little look at
it first. Do you want to have a
little look?
Let's see what's in there.
OK...
Yeah, the prop shaft is in there.
Not bad at all.
Just have a look underneath.
Yeah, I think we can do something
with that. OK.
So over to you, then, Bill.
Right. Thank you very much. Take
this with you and I'll see you soon.
OK. All right? Bye now.
Thank you, bye.
Back in Oxfordshire, Henry is
revealing his plans to restore
the 1950s paratrooper bike.
Now then... I think
you're going to like this.
Aesthetically it's well cool.
Now also, can I just tell you?
Obviously, what's the problem
with the speedway tank? Range.
Exactly, mate.
This does sip fuel at a very
miserly rate, but even so,
what you reckon in that? 50 miles?
Yeah, probably. But I've got a plan.
Now look, nice little
leather strap on there
and just have that on the back.
And I think the red, just clean
the tank up, not paint it. No.
Just red with a lovely little brass,
polished up there
and you've got some slosh in the
back there just in case you think
you want to go over 30 miles,
50 miles.
HORN TOOTS
For the fireplace fender,
the boys are visiting
sandblaster Darren to strip
the fender back to the base metal.
I reckon we blast it. Yeah.
We Briwax, we wax it and then
we polish up this brass.
Can we blast the brass as well?
Yeah, you can.
We'll just be gentle with it.
Come on, then.
While the boys leave Darren
to sandblast all the rust
and paint off the tired old fender...
Oh, yes, this is going to look fab, man.
...they've asked Jimmy the local
cobbler to craft a strap to secure
the reserve fuel tank to the
Royal Enfield Flying Flea motorbike.
Back at base, Henry and Guy's
attention returns
to their first finds.
The Little Grey Fergie is finished
and Les, a steam engine enthusiast,
has popped by
to give Frank's miniature
steam engine the once over.
Hello, mate. Hi, Henry. How you
doing? Good to see you, mate.
Thanks for coming, man.
Because we are, you've got to
understand, flummoxed.
Yeah, yeah. Tell me about this one.
Well, the thing is, when you buy
an engine like this, you've got to
look under here and find a stamp
number, which goes across here.
And it is most important because
it's the heart of the engine.
And it hasn't got one?
It hasn't got one.
And if we have a look round here... OK.
Oh, my God, what's that?
...there's a hole in there.
And that's not good at all.
That is dangerous.
You can't steam that.
If you put water in there,
it'll all come out.
It's not safe. It's not safe to run.
I know Les as a mate and he's come
round and he's shot from the hip.
Because if we were to run
that engine at a steam fair,
with the public present,
and that thing blew up...
I mean, you'd never
forgive yourself, would you?
If that was me and I really,
really wanted to keep the engine,
is to get another boiler,
throw that away and start again.
But the price of a boiler today,
it's not worth it.
The engine's not worth it.
Disappointing news for Henry.
Let's hope things are going
a bit more smoothly in Liverpool.
Nick, the model expert, has been
hard at work restoring the miniature
Rolls-Royces using some of the
more battered models as donor cars.
Wow, look at this!
Ah, Lady Penelope.
That has come up a treat, hasn't it?
They're amazing, aren't they?
That is brand-new. Yeah.
So, exactly what we said
was going to happen.
All the bits and pieces off all
the old ones have been put together
and we've got three that are in
pristine condition. Really?
Are they all as good as this?
Yeah. Wow.
If you're into model cars, toy cars,
then these are very desirable.
Well, you'd expect so, wouldn't you?
It's a Rolls-Royce, after all.
It's lovely. There you go.
Let's see if Simon's confidence
is well-founded as it's time
for the first all-important
valuation.
Henry chose to help retired
scrap metal man Frank Brinkley.
The lads rescued and restored
two items each.
With Frank unable to attend
today's valuation, he sent friend
Dudley Mason on his behalf.
And as the previous owner of the
mini Rolls-Royces, he's intrigued
to find out if the lads have managed
to add value to Frank's items.
How are you? I'm well, thanks.
Good to see you. Nice to meet you.
Well, look, dear boy,
feast your eyes.
This is what we've been
spending our time doing.
They are absolutely beautiful,
aren't they?
I worked on some of these for ages
and couldn't get them anything like
half as good.
To have them that complete
with new windscreens,
everything on them, to get
the best value out of them.
Absolutely, I reckon.
But talking about value, let's
find out, because it's not up to us
to let you know how much
we could get for these things,
it is up to our independent valuer, Alicia.
An upcycling expert with her own
successful London business,
Alicia Moore has made her name
accurately valuing reclaimed items
for retail.
Come on, Alicia, let's start
with the tractor. Ooh!
Yes, it's a Grey Ferguson, 1950s.
It's a TVO model.
And had it been diesel, it would
have been worth a bit more money.
To get the Little Grey Fergie
back up and running,
Henry spent just £60
on a new battery.
Bit of a shame that there's
different tyres on the front,
but I think you could reasonably
expect to achieve £1,000 for it.
I didn't want to spend loads of
money that actually we'd have to
deduct off the sale price on
actually re-spraying it, you know?
Because what it is there
is a very functional tractor.
Now, I have an offer
of £1,100 for it.
With a buyer already lined up,
the Little Grey has put Frank in
the black with a profit of £1,040.
Steam engine. Steam engine.
Despite high hopes,
the miniature steam engine was
in a bad way and deemed unsafe.
Any repairs would have wiped out
all the potential profit.
We know it doesn't have the boiler
certificate, and if it did have
its certificate, it could be worth
anywhere in the region of £3-£5,000.
Astonishing bit of money.
Unfortunately, it doesn't.
It's more of a decorative piece
at the moment and because of that,
I can only evaluate it at £1,250.
Even in its state of disrepair,
the steam engine has still added
an impressive £1,250
to Frank's total.
Very, very difficult thing to value
in its current state of tune,
shall we say.
But it's lovely and clean,
though, Dudley.
It is nice and clean. As clean
as it's been for years, I think.
Yeah, that's great stuff.
Right, now I'm going to test
our valuer.
Can you tell me intrinsically
what is an old plough frame
that was stuck in a hedge worth?
Uh, now - much, much more.
Thank you.
I think what you've done
is brilliant.
Simon salvaged a rusty old plough
frame, repurposing it
into a stylish lounger,
at a cost of £120.
It is, again,
a great example of upcycling.
You essentially had a plough
doing nothing and now you have
a beautiful deckchair.
I think you could reasonably expect
to achieve £250 for this.
That's absolutely amazing because
Frank had put a nil value on that.
There you go, mate.
With a bit of creative magic
the lounger has made a comfortable
£130 profit for Frank.
Finally, I really will be sad to see
the back of the Rollers because
I can tell you, nothing has given me
greater joy than going to my
local pub and saying, "I've got
13 Rolls-Royces in me workshop."
HENRY LAUGHS
I have explained to them that
most of them are pedal cars
but never mind.
Come on, value of these.
Right. These are adorable,
aren't they?
Simon spent £150 taking
the mini Rollers to a toy expert
who lovingly restored three of them
to mint condition.
They could easily achieve £200 each.
200...
What do you reckon, Dudley?
I think they're probably worth
a little bit more than that.
Do you think? So Alicia
for once in her life
might be undervaluing something.
Well, there's a surprise!
Even by Alicia's cautious estimate,
the toy cars have rolled in
a further £450 profit for Frank
to round off the valuation.
So, I'm sure you want to know,
Dudley, how much in total
of the money coming back
to Frank is.
£2,870.
I think that's pretty good going.
Frank will be delighted.
Well, mate, look, it's been
a pleasure and great fun.
Thank you very much indeed.
Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.
Thanks to the lads' hard graft,
Frank Brinkley has made
a total profit of £2,870.
He'll probably buy something
which we all think is ridiculous
to buy and he'll make
some more money on it.
I've got a trailer I want to sell
him so I might persuade him
this is worth what he's getting.
Coming up, more makeover magic.
Ah, it's going to look so posh.
Gemma strikes a deal
that floats Simon's boat.
You've got a deal if you want.
Oh, brilliant. I'm made up.
Thanks, Sandy.
And high praise at
the second valuation.
Oh, look, it's the pram.
You've done so well.
Isn't that gorgeous?
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are on a mission
to restore clutter and make
a profit for their owners.
This is gonna look fab, man.
Henry chose to help retired scrap
metal man, Frank Brinkley,
making him £2,870.
Thank you very much indeed.
Now competitive Simon wants to
make even more cash for
retired head teachers,
Alan and Hillary Davis,
who hope any money raised will
allow them to travel
to Japan for a family reunion.
And he's hoping with restorer
Gemma's help,
he'll have his items looking like
new ready for the final valuation.
I'm just using
a nice metal cleaner on this,
like a polish, a metal polish.
And that's just bringing up this
pram really well.
Gemma's darned holes in the hood
and gave the old pram
a thorough clean and polish.
Right, that's nice and clean.
I think that's ready for
someone to put their child in.
With the Silver Cross now in
immaculate and profitable condition,
it's time to check on the
toy boat's progress.
It's reasonably sound.
There was a few bits on it
that were falling to bits.
But you'd expect that with
a boat of this age.
So I've replaced these
little side windows.
I've had to put in a new prop shaft.
This is the part that drives
the propeller,
which is underneath here.
The next thing we need is a motor.
Bill installs an electric motor,
battery and radio control unit
and it's ready for its
test on the water.
Wholly stable.
Nice boat.
A success in Liverpool.
All right, son.
But back in Oxfordshire,
Henry's less happy
with how the fireplace fender
has turned out.
Under the rust and paint, the bare
metal is of a very poor quality.
I don't think it's gonna
look that good.
I don't either having seen it.
What happens, right... Mmm.
...if we actually
powder coat it black?
Wait. Gloss,
with a bit of gold metallic flake?
Yes. But it might look quite
nice actually.
Then, instead of polishing this
brass, we powder coated it gold?
So paint, it is.
With the brass fittings removed,
the fender's heading back to
the paint shop.
Look at that.
Powder coating relies on the
electromagnetic pigment
sticking to the bare metal.
Oh, man.
Oh, it's gonna look so posh!
When completed covered,
the paint is melted in a vast oven.
At a cost of £150,
the fender is beautifully restored.
Oh, yes, come to daddy!
Back at the workshop, Guy's giving
the Flying Flea motorbike
some last minute TLC, while Henry's
polishing up the petrol can.
Oh, it's great stuff, innit,
brake cleaner?
Just takes everything off.
Including the paint, yeah. Yeah.
HENRY LAUGHS
Guy's back on the mop,
polishing the brass cap
and Henry is using Jimmy the
cobbler's custom-made strap
to fix the petrol can to the motorcycle,
completing its restoration.
Have you got it? There you go.
Oh, mate, that is lovely.
Whoa, beautiful.
Mate, quality. Yeah.
Right, this is gonna be it.
It's always a nice finishing touch,
isn't it?
Da-na! That's it, man!
Quality job, mate, quality. Mmm.
The bike was a runner
so all Henry and Guy needed to do
was a thorough clean to present it
in the best saleable condition.
With work finished in Oxfordshire,
up in Liverpool,
Simon's just taken delivery of the
finished model boat.
Oh, is this out boat back?!
Look what's back from Bill.
We have... Oh, wow! ..our tiller.
And then, hopefully... Oh!
WHIRRING
Yeah, look at that!
Oh, that's good.
So can this go in water now?
But Gemma's not daft.
She's already lined up a buyer for
this 50-year-old model boat.
She's off to meet Sandy,
who owns an antique and curious shop
in the city.
Is this the engine in the back, then?
Yeah, it's in full working order.
It's got a battery there
by the looks of it. Yeah.
I absolutely love it.
Do you like it?
It's an old memory to me, this.
Is it? Would you be interested
in something like this, Sandy?
I certainly would, yeah, I love it.
Would you? I really love it.
Brilliant. Got a deal.
Oh, brilliant. Thanks, Sandy.
Thank you. Okay-dokey!
Thank you. Thanks, Gemma.
A model sale in Liverpool,
but it's sink or swim time
for the other restored items.
At the final valuation...
Simon chose to help
retired head teachers,
Alan and Hillary Davis,
from Lincolnshire,
who want some cash for
a family reunion.
And Simon's hoping his choice can
top the £2,870 raised by
Henry's search.
There we go.
Ooh! That's a long time since
I've seen that.
Oh, my goodness, look at that!
Oh, look at that! Wow!
That's not the same one. It is!
That is awesome, that is.
We got a nice little bit
of gold fleck in there,
so hopefully in front of the fire...
Oh, yes! ..the black will glitter.
I bet it does, yeah.
Oh, look at the state of the pram!
Oh, you've done so well. Gorgeous.
I've had great fun doing these and
we hope we've added value
to them. Well.
But we don't know if we have,
but we do have an independent
valuer, Alecia. Oh, right.
Retailer of upcycled furniture,
Alecia Moore is back.
Where shall we start?
Let's start with that lovely pram.
Isn't it pretty? They've been
carting royal babies around
since 1877. Can you believe it?
Simon rebuilt the pram and Gemma
repaired the material,
so getting this pram fit for
a king hasn't cost a single penny.
It has the original mattress,
the apron, the rain cover.
I think it would be reasonable
to expect £300.
Wow. £300?
Yeah. That's good.
I think that's brilliant.
The Silver Cross pram has made
a princely profit of £300
for Alan and Hillary.
Let's move on... Yeah.
...to my lovely fun, fun, fun,
fun model boat.
Yes, the vintage Wavemaster.
To get the toy boat seaworthy,
Simon spent £100 getting it repaired
and restored.
It's in very good condition,
the radio's installed.
It's not made of mahogany or teak,
which would have raised its value.
It's made from a softwood but for
the enthusiast, this is brilliant.
I think it would be reasonable to
expect £150. Wow. Really?
Alecia's on the money as Gemma sold
the boat for exactly that,
making another £50 for Alan
and Hillary.
OK. Motorcycle, Alecia.
Isn't it exciting?
It's amazing. They could chuck this
off a plane, land on the ground
and it would still be rideable.
It's a testament to its manufacturer.
The old bike only needed
a good clean-up
but Henry did splash
out £20 on a new belt
for the spare fuel tank.
They're rare,
as you probably already know. Yes.
It doesn't have its original,
all of its original pieces,
which, unfortunately,
does devalue it considerably.
If it had all of its original
pieces, the estimate
would be double. In its current
condition, I would safely say
it's worth £700.
Right. Good.
The vintage motorcycle has revved up
a further £680 in profit.
Fender, let's talk fender,
shall we? Incredible.
Looks quite glorious, doesn't it?
Been restored perfectly.
Getting the fender looking
red hot cost £150
for sandblasting and powder coating.
Because it's been restored to
such good condition,
I would evaluate that at £300.
Wow.
You're happy with that?
Paid a tenner for it!
Oh, wow, wonderful!
You paid a tenner for it?!
Yes, at an auction, yes. Did you
really? Nobody else wanted it.
A top result for Henry!
A profit of £150.
That means you're going home
today with £1,180.
Oh, very nice.
How about that? Lovely. Yes!
It's been absolute pleasure.
Thank you very much.
Absolutely gorgeous to talk to you.
Thank you.
If you just have
a chat with Henry for a while,
I'll be back.
No, no, no, you can't...
THEY LAUGH
Just one more go!
We can see you, we can see you.
Don't devalue it!
So Simon's choice of location
has earned Hillary and Alan...
The renovations are superb,
particularly the fender.
I did not recognise that.
That's extraordinary.
Far better than we ever thought
it would ever, ever be.
It was really great to see. Yes.
But with £2,870 profit,
it's Henry's choice,
Frank Brinkley's place,
that's made the most money today.
Just celebrating.
2870, £2,870 plays...
HENRY COUGHS
...£1,180, but that's really
irrelevant, innit,
cos I fleeced you.
SIMON GIGGLES
What are you laughing for?
I'm in a permanently good
mood today.
Why? Cos I'm gonna have a go on my
boat. You coming? Oh, yeah, OK.
Come on! Hey hey! It's brilliant!
Can I go first?
No, you can't! No, please!
