Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 3, Episode 11 - Episode #3.11 - full transcript

There are sheds and there are sheds!

THEY LAUGH

The garages and barns of Britain
are stacked with old possessions.

This what is we've been waiting
for, Si, check it out.

What looks like valueless junk
could be worth a pretty penny.

Thank heavens I got here to save it.

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien reckon

they can fix this
redundant rubbish...

...and, once restored,
sell for a profit.

That's where the money is.

For Henry and his mechanic...



That's it!

...it's about restoring retro relics
and vintage classics.

Done!

...while Simon and his upcycler
repurpose the unwanted

into fantastic furniture.

Just brilliant. I love it.

Hey, look, have a wander,
fill your boots!

That is absolutely
stunning, what you've done.

Rrrrrr!

They may have different approaches,
but together they'll turn a profit

for the owners.

In total, mate, £1,310 to you.

Not a bad day out, is it?

Today...



Oh!

...Henry's got a big toy.

Hey up, we're off!

...Gemma's in love...

I think that might be the favourite
thing of mine that we've done.

...and there is equally high
praise at the valuation.

I think that's one of the greatest
things that you've ever done.

I'm just being careful
of low-flying aircraft.

Yeah, so you should round here!

Henry is taking Simon to the borders
of West Sussex and Surrey,

very close to Gatwick Airport.

London's second largest airport

was an RAF base in the
Second World War.

After much development,
it was opened by the Queen in 1958.

Hey, now, look, right,
we're going to go and see Greg.

So he's an old mate of yours. Well,
I've been there years and years ago.

I always smell a rat
when you say that.

Well, he's got a few
vehicles, you're right. Mm-hm.

But he has accumulated
plenty of stuff.

Don't worry, mate, you're going
to be well catered for.

It's just left up here
and I want no more from you.

OK, OK.

Greg has retired from the meat trade
and is somewhat obsessed

with collecting a certain type
of farming equipment.

I love collecting tractors.

My favourite is that one there,
the Fordson Standard.

God, I just love tractors.

Henry and Simon would love
this place, cos there's loads

of stuff to look at.

Greg. Great to see you mate.
Henry, how are you?

Nice to see you. This is Simon.
Nice to see you, you all right?

Yep. Straight away, have you
got a penchant for tractors

at the moment? Nah, not really.

How many have you got, mate? 56.

56 tractors?!

Greg, if we did make you any money,
I'd guess you'd buy another tractor.

Yeah, course I would.
Yeah, there you go.

The lads head off in search of two
items each to restore for profit

and Simon soon
has his eye on something.

6x2, old pieces of pine,
but good length.

What'd you say there?
About five metres?

Planks like these are often used
as rafters or joists for ceilings

or floors, but these seasoned
timbers have got Simon's

creative juices flowing.

Mmm!

Can I just say... What?

...you're now slightly shaking
and gibbering about some planks.

Yeah. Planks?

6x2 joist, pine, second-hand,

obviously been used
structurally for a floor.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Lovely.

I'm as excited as you are now.

Can we talk more about tractors?
There's one around the corner.

I think there would be, yeah.

The old rafters could become almost
anything, but, as it's Simon,

the smart money's on
it becoming a table.

Oh, God, I've always
wanted one of those!

You're in heaven, aren't you?

Simon, feast your eyes -
this is agricultural history

right in front of you!

Henry has spotted a Farmall tractor.

Brace yourself, Simon.

I've heard you bore me about
Fordsons and Deeres

and all that kind of stuff.

I've never given you the
chance to bore me

about a McCormick Farmall.

Well, McCormick Farmall turned
into International Harvester, IH.

In most of the '40s and '50s,
International Harvester

was the biggest tractor
manufacturers in the world.

The Farmall H was one of
their more powerful tractors

and most were built in a former
aircraft factory

in Louisville, Kentucky.

Do you want me to take that one?
Yeah.

OK. I'm on!

SIMON LAUGHS

The tractor makes it one item each.

Oh, I can see why you're
going straight for that.

Now, then!

That looks like... you know those
BSA folding World War II bikes?

That's what it is. Do you think it
is a commemorative one or original?

I think it's an original
one, isn't it?

In 1941, BSA were tasked with
making bikes which could be

parachuted out of planes
during and after D-Day.

Weighing just 21 lb,
they were made to last for 50 miles,

but so good the design, they beat
that distance many times over.

That's lovely.
Lovely, lovely, lovely thing.

Keep going, there's
plenty more of them.

Good, I like that. You should take
that, you know, it's beautiful.

OK, yeah, mm.

On another day, that bike
would have been coming with me,

but it really, really
wasn't the day today.

Come on, there's more, there's more,
there's more.

Look, is that a Ford Cortina?
Innit? Eh?

John gotta new motor?

Ooh, now, clock that.

Simon's spotted a vintage clock.

I might need a bit of a hand.
VOICE STRAINING: Ohh, that's heavy.

I think it's a station, is it?

It might be a station clock,
mightn't it?

Glass front, solid aluminium.

I've no idea whether
the clock works.

I know it's heavy.

It's a very desirable item.

Railway station clocks were often
run from a central master clock

via a cable so that they'd
all tell the same time.

Ooh, Henry, what time is it?

Uh, it's time to take that
as your second item.

It certainly is!

I've clocked off.

God, I'd better make time.

You'd better had.
Still one item left to pick.

Come on, I've got to find something
else. Yeah, you have, yeah.

Ooh, look.

What the heck is that?

The boys have spotted
an unusual piece of machinery.

I guess you...

Do you know what it reminds me of?

What?

A bottle corker.

Is it to make a vacuum in something?

Old industrial machinery
can be valuable, but it always helps

to know what it is.

It's a kind of ding-bong-wizzly-pop
machine, innit?

I'm taking it.

You're going to take this even
though you have no idea what it is?

Someone sat on it day after day
doing whatever it was designed for.

That is a desirable decorative item.

And with that, the search is done.

Let's start with me, Greg, OK?

You have an awful lot
of 6x2 lying around.

Where did that come from?

It come from a demolition man.
I was going to build a shed,

but I never did. There is just one
piece here and, if it's OK,

I'd like to take ten.
Yeah, that would be all right.

Nice one, mate. Thank you
very much indeed. No problem.

My second item, I think,
is a very lovely thing.

Tell me about that big old clock.

Someone gave me that.

Honestly? Yeah, he was a
demolition man. Same man.

Hey, all right.

Now, Henry, what are you taking?

Do you know -
or have any clue -

what that rather large
item there is?

Not a clue.

I can go on a mission to
find out for all of us

what that actually was used for.

Now, Greg, that red
Farmall McCormick,

is there any history, do you know
anything about it or not?

Not a thing. OK, good.

I know it's from America.

He was listening.

Can I have that?
Of course you can.

Greg, thank you so much, mate.
Thank you very much, sir.

Absolute pleasure, Greg.

Coming up -
hard work pays off for Simon...

That's cool!

...Henry's all in a spin...

I don't know what to do!

...and big is best for Gemma.

I've never made a giant watch strap
before, it's massive!

That's why we love it!

Expert restorers Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien are on a mission

to turn the old into gold.

You're going to take this, even
though you have no idea what it is.

They've both picked two items from
Greg's farm.

In Oxfordshire,
Henry is showing best mate

Guy Willison his huge haul.

The interesting thing about this is
it is COMPLETELY original.

If you were to repaint it, or do
something different to it,

it would be a sacrilege.

We're going to get her going. Yes.

We're going to clean her.

We're not going to do anything more
to her,

because all that paint is original.

And it will look fantastic, actually.

Mate, it will, it really will.

OK, next.

The mystery machine.

Whatever it is, sand it, polish it,

polish up the brass, perhaps I think
it was dark green, this, originally.

Yeah. Paint that dark green, make
the wood lovely and we're going

to find out most importantly what
this item was actually for.

Guy wastes no time in getting to
work on the machinery.

First up, he uses a Hoover and
scraper to remove the dirt.

I'm just going to go over the whole thing.

And it does make quite a difference, actually.

It's not quite so depressing to look
at it once you've done this.

Before using an abrasive buffer

to strip back the metal, ready for a
lick of paint.

So, now it's just a case of doing
this British racing green,

which is a classic colour for this
sort of item.

And hopefully, it looks lovely.

The tractor's been sent off to
specialist Derek Mueller

for restoration.

Right, Henry's asked us to change
the tyres on this tractor.

So, we're going to replace the front
tyres with a nice original pair.

And it will just enhance the whole
tractor and make

it a bit more desirable.

Right, that's both ends done.

Let's hope Henry likes it.

Over in Liverpool, Simon is
revealing his finds

to upcycling queen, Gemma Longworth.

This is impressive, isn't it?
It's great, isn't it?

It's massive! Yeah!

Does it still work?

Ah...

Hopefully, we just plug her in and
it ticks.

And then get this on the polisher,
clean it up and good to go.

Gorgeous. OK? Yeah.

Next up, the planks.

This is one of ten.

What are you going to do with them?!

Well, five and a half metres long,
they are.

And this just wants to be

a massive, chunky dining table.

I absolutely love this.

First, though, Simon meets with
handyman, Phil,

to figure out the plan for the clock.

All about...

...we have two straps coming out
round the back,

so it's always designed to sit on
the floor. Yeah.

And make the biggest wristwatch
you've ever seen!

That's a good idea, that.
That's not bad for you.

Can I have me watch back now?

Yeah.

So, a blacksmith will make a frame
for the strap and Phil and Gemma

will carefully restore the clock.

Face-off! Oh, look at that.

And he makes a discovery.

I wonder if that's a train station.

Woodside was a station in South
London built in 1871

and closed in 1997.

Now dismantled, Phil polishes up the
body of the clock.

Whilst across the workshop,
Gemma gives the face and glass

a good clean with soap and water.

There we go.

I very delicately cleaned that and
it's looking as good as new!

Outside, Phil and Simon sort the
timber joists

into good and bad piles.

OK, let's get cutting.

Simon uses a circular saw to cut the
timber to size

and square off the ends.

Leaving Phil to bolt the joists together.

Then, plane and sand the top.

To make a huge, chunky table.

In Oxfordshire, with the new tyres
now on, Henry and Guy are preparing

to get the tractor started.

Right, you ready there, Son?

Lid's open.

Do you know how these start?

No.

I know they're not kick-start.

Oh, my God... Best of luck, Son.

Oh, you're not doing it?
Stick it in there. In there?!

And give it a whirl!

Before starter motors were used,
hand-cranking

to start engines was commonplace.

Oh.

Greg said it was a great starter.

Really?!

Other starting methods included a
gunpowder-fired cranking system.

ENGINE STARTING
Yeah, you see! Yes!

Oi! We're off!

It's great, isn't it?

Are you happy?

So, all we need to do now is get
it back to the yard... OK.

...and then, clean it.

Amazing to think, isn't it, that you
turn up in one of these...

...when your usual speed is a cart horse.

What a revolution that heralded, eh?

Unbelievable!

He-hey!

Back at the workshop,
Henry's mystery machine

has been cleaned and painted.

Now, he's trying to research what
on earth it's for.

Do you know, I'm drawing a blank
here, really.

I've asked about six kind
of industrial farm museum people

and sent them photos.

No-one knows what it is.

It must be home-made for an application

that wasn't kind of mass production.

Oh, well - I'd better tell Guy that
I've drawn a blank.

In Liverpool, the watchstrap frame
has arrived.

Time to unveil it to Gemma.

Check this out...

Check this out!

Guess what that is?

What on earth is it?!

That, Gemma, is a watchstrap.

It's huge!

We have buckle. Yeah.

We have watch face.

And what we need now is someone
very talented to create...

...A leather watchstrap for it.

I've never made a giant watchstrap
before - it's massive!

That's why we love it!

So, Gemma gets started by cutting
some faux leather to size.

Across the workshop, Simon and Phil
are fitting legs

to the table they've built from rafters.

That's us, mate.

Right, limber up!

SIMON STRAINING

That's heavy!

OK!

Phil!

That's COOL!

It's OK, isn't it? Yeah, loving it.

With work well under way on their
first items...

Simon's taking Henry off to Hampshire.

They're searching for hidden
treasure at the home and workshop

of Chris Francis, who has worked
with motorbikes most of his life.

I'd started breaking bikes for a
living but then,

I started doing them all up.

That made no money, but it was quite enjoyable.

So, now I do a bit of everything.

I've invited Henry and Simon down
because I've got too much stuff here

and realistically I'm never going to
get everything done.

So, hopefully they'll give some of
it a good home.

Are we there yet?

Look, I know we're heading up a
cul-de-sac, but it's not a dead end.

I've seen a picture of something -
I've got to check it out.
Is there something for me here?

I don't know whether there's
anything for you and I don't care.

There's one thing though that we
might just be having.

What did you say - "I don't care"?!

Chris, how are you, mate?

I'm very well, nice to see you.

Mate. Yeah? I think... I think
I must be dreaming.

I mean never has Simon taken me to a place...

...oh, God, like this. Well, I didn't
think it'd have quite this many
motorbikes though, mate.

My friend's call it a "jobby".

It's a combination of a job and a
hobby. You know, it's a bit of
everything. Oh, I love that!

As well as bikes, you do have some
other bits and pieces lying around,
I hope?

Oh, yes, quite a few other
treasures, odds and ends, you know?

So look, mate, if we do make you
some wedge, which I'm sure we will,

what are you going to spend it on?

Probably some more motorbikes and a
bit on my new workshop.

Good lad! Come on, let's go. Fetch!

See you.

Chris, we'll see you in a bit!

They begin their search.

I don't know what to do!

BOTH LAUGHING

The problem that I've got honestly
though - they're all modern.

OK, you're right, they're all
modern, but look...

Yeah, no, that's cool. Side car.
Yeah. That's different.

We haven't done one of them.

They've spotted a Royal Enfield
motorbike and sidecar.

Probably built in India. Oh, yeah?

The first Royal Enfield motorbike
was built in 1901

in Redditch, Worcestershire -
but since 1971,

their bikes have solely been made in India.

Are sidecars cool?

Yeah, man. Right now, mate,
they are.

Are they? Yeah.

The sidecar was killed off by the
car being cheap.

The roof. Yeah, so basically you had
a roof and you could take the family

and it was nice, rather than sitting there

in this kind of weather getting
soaked. Yeah.

But now, obviously, they're used
99.9% of the time recreationally.

I'm going to make Chris some money!
OK, now listen...

How many bikes can I take?
No, no, just the one cos it comes
with an extra wheel.

Henry has his first item, but Simon
is quick to catch up.

How about going away for the weekend
with the family?

Cos that's why we're here.

LAUGHING: Is that why we're here?

Next to Henry's motorbike and
sidecar was the thing

I'd come to see.

Can I get in? Which way do you get
in? Come on, climb across, come on.

Climb aboard!

Ha-ha-ha!

Ah. Ooh, just get in.

Welcome to the Jennings Roadranger
Mk 1 transit conversion.

Jennings were coach builders that specialised

in converting existing vans into
motor homes.

The Roadranger was built in the
'70s and is based on a Ford Transit.

Fully restored, this rare camper van
could be worth thousands.

This baby is going camping!

Mate, good on you, good on you for
giving it a go! Ha-ha-ha!

It's a lot of work, but it's going
to be beautiful.

The camper van makes it one item each.

W-W-What, are you doing?

These kind of spare exhaust pipes
that he's got lying around, yeah?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm starting to... What?

I'm starting to think creative with them.

Maybe if they weren't exhaust pipes,
right, cos intrinsically,

they're a nice form, aren't they?

Well, they're nice exhaust pipes,
mate, yeah.

So, maybe they could be something else.

Like what? I don't know, some sort
of lighting.

Some geezer somewhere out there is
looking for that exhaust pipe.

You can't go and mangle it and
upcycle it into a small lamp!

Thousands everywhere - how many
exhaust pipes does one person need?!

Just do me a favour. What?

Can we just keep looking? Yeah. OK,
yeah. That's possible. Because...

The rusty exhausts are too far gone.

So, Simon passes on them - but it's
got him thinking.

Oh, ho-ho-ho! Air horn!

On the top of a lorry or something.
Air horn - yeah, it is, yeah.

Fancy... Yeah, nice air horn.

How about if I turn these into
those?

What?

The horn is about to become lights.

They're just a GORGEOUS thing.

They will never make a sound again,

but what they will emit is light.

Are you precious about these at all,
Henry?

Or am I allowed to take them as an
item?

They're not from a motorbike,
I don't give a monkey's.

Good, there you go! Come on, let's
go.

They'll look rather good!

Simon's air horns picked, Henry
needs to find a final item.

I just need to...

I just need to broaden my horiz...

Hmm - horizons.

Do you know what I mean?

Henry has spotted some dismantled
chrome wire shelving.

Still widely available today, Henry
will have to work hard to add value.

Why can't I do something funky with
these?

I mean, why don't we just live a
little, hey?

Some rack shelving?!

He's got all carried away and I'm
not going to argue.

I'm going for it - a nice little bit
of galvanised shelving.

You having them? Yeah, come on.

Shall we see Chris?
Let's go and find him.

Time to see Chris and find out what
he makes of their choices.

You know the Jennings Roadranger
there, they're very rare.

Yeah. I've only ever seen four.

My second choice is not quite as big.

The air horns, what do you know
about them?

I think they were going to end up
stuck to one of the transits

for a laugh, you know, a bit of a giggle.

They have blown their last blast.

Yeah. Over to you, Henry.

Now, your Royal Enfield outfit, mate.

Oh, I picked that up from a guy
who'd had it for about three years
or so.

To be honest, I haven't had the time
to touch it either.

OK, second thing, mate, is a bit
strange. Right.

Some galvanised shelving.

Yeah, if you think you can give it a
new lease of life.

It has been Christmas in the rain
for me, mate.

All I needed was a little Santa, but
I've found one in Simon.

Thanks very much indeed, mate.

Coming up, Guy lays down the law.

I'm going to liberate it of the
sidecar and put it back to solo use

for which it was intended!

Simon gets bossy.

You have got to really get stuck
into this for me.

What do you mean?!

And mixed signals at the valuation.

I quite like it. Good.

I wouldn't want to own it but I
quite like it.

Kings of clutter Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien are turning

junk into cash.

Ho-ho-ho!

They've chosen today's
second set of items.

Now in Liverpool, Simon
is taking Gemma on a mission.

I'm taking you to see
the next couple of items. Right.

I think you're going to love them,
but one of them is a little bit

too big to fit in our workshop.

To fit in the workshop?!

SIMON HUMS A FANFARE

Is this the item?
This is the item.

I don't know what to say!

This is a very, very rare
and potentially valuable beast.

Potentially valuable? Yeah.

But you have got to really get
stuck into this for me.

What do you mean?!

Your skills are going to be needed
on this job more than ever.

What am I going to do?
Well, if you look inside,

can you see the curtain rail?

Well, I can definitely make some curtains.

But I don't know about the rest.

I'd like some upholstery needed
doing, all that kind of stuff, yeah?

That's what we're doing.
Can I see the back?

Well, before you look inside,
I've got something here.

Second item, there you go.

Second item? Yeah.

I'm thinking... OK?

On the wall, polished
up, uplighters.

The horn is a lovely little item,
the electrician can work his magic

on that and it's definitely
a saleable item.

So, a happy Gemma.

And with the campervan already
at the garage, specialist mechanic

Gary checks the brakes, points
and plugs, making sure it's safe.

ENGINE REVS

Sounds great, that, don't it?

It's a runner, but there's a lot of
expensive bodywork to fix up.

Back in the workshop,
Gemma prepares the air horns

before electrician
Neil fits the uplighters.

So before we can give this to Neil,
I'm going to give it a clean-up.

With it being chrome,
I'm going to use the tinfoil trick.

See how that works.

Rubbing wet scrunched-up tinfoil
onto chrome can remove

small rust deposits.

I've made a good start
with the tinfoil and I think

I'm going to use a metal polish now
to really shine that up.

Right! I can hand this over
to Neil now.

And he can work his magic.

In Oxfordshire, Henry
is showing his latest haul to Guy.

What d'you reckon? I'm going to
liberate it of the sidecar

and put it back to solo use

for which it was intended when it
was designed

by Royal Enfield in 1948,
or whenever it was.

No, I'm sorry, right?

I actually think the sidecar
is a rather kitsch, cheesy

Wallace and Gromit addition
to proceedings.

It's an abysmal thing to do
to a two-wheeled motorcycle.

OK. But, then again,

you can actually have your friend in
the sidecar, you can also then have

another friend on the back. I don't
have any friends! I know, but I do.

Next up, the metal shelving.

Firstly, I actually quite like it. Yeah.

But, most importantly, I took
it because anything,

but anything in a shed...
Yeah, yes.

If you've got a vision for it, need
not be, as Simon says, languishing.

Henry hopes to tart up the shabby
shelving so it could brighten

any domestic or retail setting.

I think we should powder-coat these
a really funky colour.

OK. Don't you think? Yes.
And that'll be that.

Good. All right? OK. Happy.

The shelves will be sent out
to be powder-coat painted, leaving

the boys to clean the sidecar.

Here we have... A panel
that should go on... For this side.

If you remove the sidecar,
you could refit that.

You're not removing the sidecar, OK?

Then they attempt to start
the motorbike by connecting

the new temporary battery.

Yeah, your fuel's on, choke's on.

We've managed to create a throttle,
but don't worry about that.

Be gentle with that. I'm going to be
gentle with everything. Ready?

ENGINE REVS

I'm going... I'm going to mount her.

Right, well,
you know where the choke is.

Yes! We're rolling!

We're off.

Oh! It works!

Look at him.

Oh, brakes, brakes!

Your wheel arch has come off.
Oh, whatever.

Mate!

That is a runner.

Down to your ingenuity
and perseverance, dear boy.

In Liverpool, Simon's checking
up on the progress of the campervan,

which is with the specialist garage.

Come on, tell me. You've had
a good look at it now.

Did I do all right?

I think so, mate. Yeah, yeah.

The metal was such
good condition. Brilliant.

We were surprised.
Yeah, really surprised. Thank you!

Once it's all smoothed off,
we then throw the paint on.

Right.

Then we'll do the stripe
down the side, put it back together

and that's it, good to go.
Right, I'll leave you to it, mate.

Thanks very much. Thanks a lot.

Can't wait to see it. See you
in a couple of days.

With Simon's approval to continue,

the campervan can get its fresh
coat of paint.

This won't be cheap, but Simon
thinks it will pay dividends

at the valuation.

In the workshop, Gemma's working
on the retro curtains for the van.

Right.

I wanted some original '70s
fabric for the campervan.

But I needed quite a lot
and I couldn't find some.

So, I've had some printed up.

Look at that.

OK? I'll get my measurements
and some scissors

and I can start sewing.

Before starting the curtains, Neil
the electrician arrives to wire

the air horns.

Hi, Gemma, you OK? Hi, Neil.
Yeah, right.

We've got these horns.

Simon wants to turn
them into uplighters. OK.

So, I mean, is that possible?

Yeah, it should be straightforward
enough. If we put some LED lights

in the end, that'll
look pretty good. Yeah? Yeah.

OK, well, if I leave you to it,
come back? Yeah.

No problem, I'll get started.

All right, I'll be back in about
an hour. OK, no problem.

Neil threads 12-volt cabling
through the air horns,

connects up two energy-efficient LED spotlights,

secures the bulbs
to the inside of the horns

and, finally, leaves the glue
to harden.

Back in Oxfordshire,
Henry is continuing work

on the motorbike and sidecar.

So I spent a few hours
cleaning up the old Enfield

and she's looking great.

I'm just going to finish
off with a little bit,

just this final bit,
on the indicator stalk.

There's black stuff here that needs
to be sorted that's rusty.

So I'm just going to wire-brush it,
wire-wool it, get it smooth

and then rattlecan it.

Henry's other item - the metal
shelves -

have been blasted and given
a new coat of paint,

before being put in the oven
for an hour.

With the first valuation day
looming, in Liverpool, Simon

is finishing their first
finds from Greg's place.

Fortunately, the clock
mechanism is still working,

so they just need to turn
the station clock into

a giant wristwatch.

I'm shattered already.
I'm all right.

Yeah, I bet you are!
SIMON CHUCKLES

After a lot of huffing and puffing,
they admire their handiwork.

Oh, my word.

That's amazing!

That is mad.

I love that.

I think that might be the favourite
thing of mine that we've done.

HE EXHALES HEAVILY
Good day's work, that.

I'm clocking off.

So with the giant watch finished,
Gemma and Phil are putting

the final touches to the equally
huge kitchen table.

This oil'll really help this table.

It'll make it so much more
waterproof and durable

and really protect the wood.

Polishing complete, it's time to see
what Simon makes of it.

What do you reckon?
I love it!

It's just simple, but it's the size
that makes it, isn't it?

I didn't realise you were
doing benches, as well.

We just had two spare ends,
so I thought, "Hey, why not?"

Brilliant! Yeah, yeah.

Surely this is going
to be worth a fortune?

I hope so.
I would have thought so.

It's just whether
we can get it there.

In Oxfordshire, Guy's giving
the mystery machine a final clean-up

ahead of the valuation.

That's looking nice, mate.
Oh, hello.

Beautiful thing.
It is, it's lovely.

Have you found out what it is, then?

No. No?

Nobody knows what it is, right?
You keep polishing.

I did all the hard work
and all you had to do

was find out...
All right, man, I just tried, OK?

I still quite like it,
even though I don't know what it is.

I love it and it's a lovely
decorative item.

I'm just sorry I couldn't find out.
Greg's going to be really angry.

Don't lose any sleep. I will.

Looks like it will just remain
an unknown decorative item.

But one topic Henry
is confident about is tractors.

The only thing we've got left
to do with this baby,

because she is a fantastic runner,
I mean, I cannot believe

how great she goes... Yes!

...is to clean her,
just a light clean,

get rid of some of the grease,
then she'll be ready for sale.

Oh, sorry, mate. I know. I just
lobbed it all in your hair. I know.

How's it going?
All right, mate.

Just getting some of the gunk off.

I think she's coming
up nice, son.

Agh! Hey-hey! Serves you right.

Mate, I think that's about it,
really, on the old jet wash front.

Yeah, still got the patina,
haven't taken any paint off,

it's looking good.

So the boys like it,
but how much is it worth?

Time to find out at the valuation.

Greg Mason has arrived to see
what happened to his stuff

and if the boys have
made him any money.

How are you man? All right, how are
you? Yeah, very good.

How are you Greg? Nice to see you,
mate. Good to see you, mate.

Feel free to have
a wander about, mate.

He's speechless. Come on back, then.

Are you happy?
Yeah, very happy.

But have we made you any money?

Adam's with us, our
independent valuer.

Independent valuer Adam Partridge

runs a successful chain of auction
houses, so he can value anything.

Where shall we start, Adam?

Value, if you will, the biggest
wristwatch you've ever seen.

Yes, well, you won't
find another, will you?

Gemma and a blacksmith made a giant
leather strap

for the neglected railway station
clock, costing £110.

It's a great, crazy
one-off, isn't it?

I quite like it. I wouldn't want to
own it, but I quite like it.

I'd own it and I think
it's really, really cool.

Would you give £300 for it?
Yeah, I would.

OK, well, that's my value.

There you go. Well, listen, if no
one minds, I would really like to

buy that myself and give
it to my daughter's school.

The giant watch clocks
a £190 profit.

Seeing as we're talking
giant things...

Can I just stop you?

I think that's one of the greatest
things that you ever done.

You like the old table, yeah?

I think it's utterly,
utterly fantastic.

That's stunning. Cheers, mate.
What do you reckon, Greg?

Yeah, I like it.
I've just upped the price already!

The apparently useless rafters
were transformed with hard work,

bolts and Danish oil -
costing just £40.

GREG: Made a good job of that.
I like the exposed bolts,

I think it's very, very current,

very fashionable, and I could see
that with a big price tag

on it in a trendy shop
or a garden centre.

But my initial thought was £500,
I've already revised it to £600.

Well, I think that's
a fair valuation,

but, as usual, you are conservative,
Adam, because I've sold that, mate,

for 700 quid.

A £660 profit from the joists.

Let's talk about, er, that.

We have asked countless museums
and all of us are not sure.

The mystery machine was varnished
and painted for free, using leftover

materials from the workshop.

It's a great Victorian
contraption, isn't it?

It looks lovely. You've done a
sensitive paint job,

polished it up, cleaned it up.

Therefore, I'm going to give
a punchy £250 valuation on it.

A £250 profit for
the unknown machine.

Right, let's talk tractor.
It's a lovely old tractor.

She is absolutely mint.

£150 was spent on two
new tractor tyres.

Come on, we're getting tired.
All right.

It was waiting to happen, wasn't it?
How much, how much? Under pressure.

£2,750 - two and three quarters.

It's a collectable American
tractor, isn't it?

OK, that's taken the wind
out of my tyres slightly.

I've sold it, Greg, for £2,650.

That's still a hefty £2,500
profit for the tractor.

That gives you, Greg,
a total amount -

less our direct costs
to take home -

of £3,600.

Henry's barn search nets
Greg a profit of £3,600

towards a new tractor.

I think Henry and Simon
have done a very good job.

That'll buy me quite
a reasonable tractor, that will.

Coming up, Henry takes his
best friend for a ride.

You do look like a dog, you know?

I don't care.

Gemma's in for a surprise.

I've added a bit of extra bling. OK.

If you want to press
that button there.

And Adam's impressed at
the valuation.

I really like it, it's such
a pleasing thing, isn't it?

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are making cash out of trash.

At Henry's choice of location...

I'm on.

...they made £3,600 for Greg Mason.

Yeah, that's nice.

How's that? Lovely, yeah.

So the pressure is on for Simon's
choice of rummage spot to beat that.

In Liverpool, the camper van
is back and Simon is giving

it the mechanical once over.

Yeah!

Brilliant!

Love it!

Colour's perfect for the era.

1970s glory.

And Gemma's touch of those curtains
just finishes it off.

But before it goes back, there's one
thing we need to do -

a good British trip.

Ah well, Gem.

Can't account for the weather,
but all the same, we'll make our

own fun, eh?

We've got a cup of tea, crab paste
sandwiches and a good game. OK?

It's freezing.
Come on, six to start.

Oh, six!

Back at the workshop and now fully
recovered from her holiday,

Gemma's taking delivery
of the finished air horns

from the electrician, Neil.

So are these finished?

Yeah, all finished, all dusted.

I know you wanted me
to just put lights in them.

Yeah? I've added a bit of extra bling.

OK? If you want to press
that button there.

Let's see.

Oh, wow, they're different
colours!

They're going to be brilliant
on someone's wall.

Excellent. We'll easily be able to
sell them.

Yes. Glad you're happy with them. Very.

And true to her word, Gemma
has lined up a buyer - Jackie,

a local photographer.

We were thinking about £100?

Hmm. Is there any chance
you could take about 60?

Ooh, that's a bit of a drop, Jackie.

About 80?

70?

I can't budge on 80,
Simon'll kill me.

All right then, 80. 80?
All right, we've got a deal?

Thanks! OK.

It's a deal. But did Gemma get the
best price?

We'll find out at the valuation.

Down in Oxfordshire, Henry and Guy
are admiring the Enfield.

Will you take a look, man.

I mean, that is a transformation...

I was just saying...

How you doing?

That's a transformation, isn't it?

I must admit, it is.

Now it looks beautiful,
it's eminently saleable, that's

ready to roll, now.

Fantastic!

So the boys hit the road
and the old Enfield rides again.

What do you reckon?

That is great, I love it!

You do look like a dog, you know?

I don't care. Yeah, but there we go.

Come on then.

We're done, mate. Fantastic!

All we've got to do now... is
Flog It.

Yes.

Their second item is the shelving
unit, which is back

from the painters and ready
for reassembling.

They're looking good.

They're beautiful. Oh, those poles
are polished nice.

Yeah, they are, aren't they?
OK, so look, right.

How are we going to measure it?

Are we going to count how many rings
there are, on the pole?

Yes. One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine...

There's 58. I've counted them.

Why didn't you tell me
that before I got involved?

They slot the racks
onto the polished poles.

Look, we've got ourselves
a platform, now.

There we go. Don't rattle it.
You do your end.

Don't rattle it. Together.

Yeah, yeah. Teamwork.

Come on, then.

Oh, mate.

That's quality. Yeah.

I mean, look, it's, you know,
a racking system, you know,

made last Tuesday.

But it's funky, we've
funked it up, mate.

We certainly have.

The workshop shelving is now bright
enough for any front of house.

So Henry's got a hunch
the local bakery may

want to display
their breads on them.

Now look, I want 130 quid for it.

I could do 90?

It's got to be three
figures, at least.

Oh, really? I tell you what, 110?

100. 110?

Well you're giving me
a cappuccino, aren't you?

I'll pay for... I'll pay for the coffee.

All right, deal. 110 and a slice of
Victoria sponge.

What, thrown in? Thrown in.

How about that? Oh mate, well yeah,
we're up for that.

Deal done.

Did Henry make enough
dough from the baker?

It's time to find out
at today's second valuation.

Chris Francis is back to see
if the boys have made him any money

for a new workshop.

Oh hi, you all right? Hello!
Hey, mate, good to see you!

You all right? How you doing, Chris?

Good to see you. Yeah I'm very well,
very well. Hey, fill your
boots, man, have a look about!

Oh, brilliant! Go and have a wander.

That's a good start,
brilliant is a good start.

Bit of fun them, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

They look really smart. And my
favourite colour in the shelving?

That's brightened them
up a treat, hasn't it?

Yeah, I reckon! Come and join us
again, mate.

Fantastic.

So what do you reckon, Chris? Yeah,
everything's looking fantastic, yeah.

The camper's really changed,
just in the picture, you can see

it's changed a world.

And I promise you, mate,
in the flesh, it looks even better.

So, you're happy with
what we've done, but have we made

you any money?

Well Adam is going to join us,
our independent valuer, to give

us his professional opinion.

Valuer Adam's back to price
up the latest finds.

Let's just start with
the Royal Enfield outfit,

that's a solid car, mate.

Yeah, I understand,
thanks. Patronising...

Oh, it's terrible.

All the Enfield needed
was a new battery for just £30,

and a clean, for free.

To me, that looks like 1650 - £1650.

That a £1620 profit for the bike.

Well, let's get on to the shelving.

Well, you've certainly brightened
them up, a nice job, that classic

red coating that you
like, it works well.

The racks were painted a candy
apple red, costing £50.

I can't really put
more than £100 on them.

Well OK, mate.

I've sold them, though, for 110.

Oh, brilliant.

The shelves rack up a £60 profit.

OK, let's...

I'll blow my own horn, uplighters?

Yeah, they're cool, aren't they?

Yeah, just those air horn things.

Yeah! Yeah.

The rusty horns were cleaned
up and wired with multicoloured

lights, costing £40.

I'm sure a lot of people
would like to own those, especially

if they're priced at about 75 quid.

Oh, OK, OK.

Well, I've sold them.

Yeah, I've sold them
for 80 quid, mate.

That's a £40 profit
for the air horn lights.

Now let's move on...

To the most beautiful picture...

Mark 1 transit Jennings
Road Ranger, talk to me.

I really like it, it's such
a pleasing thing, isn't it?

That classic early '70s streamline shape.

£4,500 was spent on getting
her running, restoring

and respraying her body work
and on fabrics for the interior.

I'm thinking £9,000.

That's a huge £4,500 profit
for the camper van,

and that means...

You're going home,
mate, with 6,220 quid.

How does that sound?
That sounds brilliant!

Brilliant, cheers mate.

The boys have raised an impressive
£6,220 from Simon's choice

of location, Chris's garages.

I think Simon and Henry have done
a brilliant job with my items.

I'll be spending the money
on my new workshop and there's a lot

of work needed there and this money
is going to be very helpful

towards that.

Henry's barn raised a hefty £3,600,
but Simon raised nearly double that,

making him today's winner.

Hey, £3,000, it's a good
score usually, mate.

No, I know, I know. You would have won.

But not today, because, oh, I got
over six, didn't I?

Yeah, brilliant. I'm so happy, I
might have a little holiday.

Oh, maybe I'll go in a camper van.
