Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 3, Episode 3 - Episode #3.3 - full transcript

The sheds, garages and barns
of Britain

are stacked with old possessions.

This is heaven, mate!

That's the only way to describe it!

What looks like value-less junk
could be worth a pretty penny.

I've just fallen in love!

Man, that's gorgeous!

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien reckon
they can fix this redundant rubbish.

And, once restored,
sell for a profit.

That's immense, mate!

For Henry and his mechanic...



That's it!

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

Oh, my God, it goes!

While Simon and his upcycler
re-purpose the unwanted

into fantastic furniture.

Oh, my word! That's amazing!

Have a look. What do you reckon?

I think it's remarkable!
It's breath-taking!

Alright!

They may have different approaches,
but together they'll turn a profit
for the owners.

You're going home, mate, with
6,220 quid. How does that sound?

That sounds brilliant!

Today, Simon's not always flying high...

Gentle movements.



Oooh!

Henry attempts to start a bike...

Let's just do it! ..Oh.

And there's a shock
at the valuation.

Oh, wow!

So, do you want to know where we're
going?

No, I was just enjoying the ride!

Henry and Simon are in Essex,

on their way to the old Roman town
of Colchester.

In 1807, on Good Friday,

the oldest hot cross bun
in the world was baked.

And it's now, as you can imagine,
rock hard!

I wouldn't want to eat it. I don't
think all the butter in the world
would melt it.

Colchester is also where the nursery
rhyme Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
was written

by Jane Taylor in her attic
in Stockwell Street in 1806.

Who are we going to see?
It's a geezer called Duncan.

Now, Duncan, he does collect
the odd engine.

Stop!

Just stop! I'm not stopping.

I'm going for a dab in Colchester instead.

I'm hot and I'm cross!

Ha-hey! Left here.

The boys are meeting Duncan Harlock,
a building quality inspector

who over the years has collected
sheds full of clutter.

The problem being is that I take on
too much.

And if they can make me some money

or just clear some bits and pieces
for me,

that would be absolutely fantastic.

How you doing? Duncan, how are you?
Nice to see you.

I'm Henry. How are you?

Listen, mate. How long have you been
here?

I've been here about 12 years,
I guess. OK.

So you've been gathering. Would you
call yourself a collector?
A hoarder?

I'm just a hoarder. Are you? Yeah.

If we did make you any money,
what would you spend it on?

I would probably spend it on trying
to sort my Guzzi out.

So that means that the Guzzi's out
of bounds. Hello, petrol lads!

Shall we rewind? What is a Guzzi?

It's a 1,000cc motorcycle.

Did you have a small off on her, then?

Yeah, I hit a piece of sunken road.

Do you promise you'll take that bend
again once the Guzzi is up and
running?

It's been resurfaced now, so yeah,
no issues.

The boys have two items each to find
that they can renovate

and hopefully make a profit on

so Duncan can fix up his prized motorbike.

And it's not long before Simon spies something.

What's happened? Is it smelly in
there?

Nothing for you here.
Nothing for you. Out!

Not very often do I get hot under
the collar and very excited.

That is a Holdsworth.

Beautiful English hand-made frame.

Lovely old 1970s Holdsworth.

Gorgeous. Put it to one side.

There is also a 1950s Freddie Grubb.

Oh, I'm getting carried away, now!

Oh, it's gonna be lovely.

A Freddie Gruber, or something.

A grubby... A grubby bike.

And not only are they gorgeous,
proper, race-ready frames,

they're just beautifully built.

Freddie Grubb won silver medals
in the individual road race
and team road race

in the 1912 Olympics.

In 1914, he established his first
bicycle manufacturing business

in Brixton, London.

They're still made.

Did he go on about flanged wheels,
wired spokes.

That's Simon off the mark
with his first item.

Let me go first!

Wow! Cor blimey! Hello.

Look at that. A little Volkswagen
camper van.

Quickly looking at it, that is a
massive project. It is, isn't it?

If you've got a couple of years,
and that's all you're doing.

Moving on. Look, there's the Guzzi.

'Turns out that's the motor Guzzi.'

A, "Ouch!" That must have hurt.

And B, wow, that's a lot of work.

Oh, what's this? Hey, come back.

What?

What's in there? What is it? Ready?

That's quite cool, isn't it?

It's a Bakelite radio or something.

Judging by the fact that it has
a picture of a yacht on it...
It must be a yachting radio.

It is, in fact, a nautical wireless receiver.

This one is probably built by
Lieutenant Arthur Allin Turney,

a former signalling officer
and Royal Engineer

who manufactured it in the 1930s
as the smallest yacht radio set.

If you'd never seen one before in
a shed, you've got to give it a go.

One-all, isn't it? I think so, mate. OK.

Time to find your second items, boys.

But let's hope Henry doesn't spot the...

Ah.

Whilst he's making a racket...
Quick fill like that.

...I'm looking round and just up
on a shelf is my second item.

Are we done? Didn't you like that
riff, man?

I was just ignoring that riff.
What do you think of this?

I've come over for tea.
That's beautiful.

It's got a little bit of Art Deco
styling about it. I love it.

Pewter is a metal alloy made up
mainly of tin.

This geometrical 1930s tea set

consists of a teapot, hot water pot,
milk jug and sugar basin.

I absolutely love it. I love it.
That's two-one, isn't it?

It is two-one, yes.

I'm gonna go and make myself
a cup of tea.

It may be teatime for Simon,
but Henry needs his second item.

Oh, hang on! Don't run off.

A wheelbarrow?! No, not the
wheelbarrow, the trailer!

What?!

I'd have preferred the wheelbarrow!

It's a twin-axle car trailer.

Yes?

Looks pretty mint. Lights look good.

There are many items here. Yes.

And you want to take... A trailer.
...a trailer.

Look, it's even got a winch.
I could get that going.

Oh, sorry! I didn't see the winch(!)

Oh, it's got a winch. Well, there
you go, if it's got a winch(!)

Henry has a second item, and it's
time for the boys to reveal their
finds to Duncan.

Can I... Yeah, you go. I know you
want to go first! Get on with it!

Please can I go first? Go on!
Duncan,

I could have taken the Holdsworth,
but I had to take the Freddie Grubb.

Mm. Tell me about it.

My dad was All Eastern Counties
grass track champion.

My dad purchased it at Olympia Bike
Show years ago.

So that's a true Freddie Grubb,
then. Yeah. It's a gorgeous bike.

My second item, a lovely little
Art Deco style kind of...

It's a tea and coffee set.

Just give it a little bit of TLC
and make it look beautiful again.

I'm very, very happy indeed.

Now, look. Right, is that a ship's
radio?

I believe it's a yacht radio.
It's a nice old bit of kit.

So that's my first item, if that's
alright to take it.

My second item, can I talk to you
about your car trailer?

You can talk all you like, yeah!

Oh, no. I'm gonna be in trouble
here, Si.

I'd like to restore that.
No worries! Duncan,

you've been absolutely fantastic.
Thank you so much.

And by the way. What?

If you pump the tyres up on the
trailer, you can take everything
home!

Cheers, mate!

Henry and Guy are on a different
wavelength!

We'll see that it just might go.

I mean, it might. Don't hold your
breath!

Simon can't contain himself!

Very, very excited about this.

And Henry is dirty dancing!

Isn't it great when you can restore
and dance at the same time?

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

It's a ship's radio, isn't it?

...to turn the items from the sheds
of Duncan Harlock from trash
to cash.

In Oxfordshire, Henry is revealing
his haul to restorer Guy Willison.

Now, what do you think that is?

A radio.

It's a long wave radio for those
people who go yachting.

Basically, we take it out the box.
Hopefully there is a Bakelite case.

Yes. We clean it up lovely.

We see that it just might go.

I mean, it might! Don't hold your
breath!

Next, the trailer.

This is gonna be beautiful.
Now, come on, then.

Well... Colours? I would do the
chassis black

because you're putting cars on it,
and clean this galvanised here.

Get the algae and stuff off it,
so it looks silver again.

Yeah. What do you think about the
mudguards?

Well, I'd take my steer from what's
there, but not that red.

A post box red. Alright, mate.
Happy days.

We'd better go and find some black
paint, then. Yeah, loads.

Whilst Guy searches for a lot of
black paint,

Henry tackles the old shipping radio.

Hopefully, the top will come
straight off

to reveal a mint long wave radio.

Look at that! That's crazy!

That's a bit of an issue, I think, really.

The box is part of the system.

OK. Here's a thought.

Why don't we do up the box itself,

remove the valves,

and you could have a couple of
squirrel cage lamps there instead.

And make a kind of steam punk kind
of lighting thing.

So it's a change of plan.

The radio is to become a light.

Guy makes a start on sanding the box,

before applying a wax
and a good buffing.

Elsewhere, Henry takes a look at the trailer.

OK. I put my hands up.

I have never restored a trailer before.

So I reckon the first thing to do

is to clean off the galvanised
sheeting metal here, right.

Get that all looking lovely.

And Henry's had another change of heart.

This time over the colour scheme.

But first, it needs a good jet wash.

SINGS TO HIMSELF

Isn't it great when you can restore
and dance at the same time?

Up in Liverpool, Simon is showing
his finds to restorer Gemma Longwood.

This is unusual, isn't it?

It's pewter. Art Deco style.

It's very nice. I'm glad you agree.
I think it's a really cool thing.

It'll polish up lovely.

Next, the Freddie Grubb bike.

The namesake, Freddie Grubb himself,
in his day,

was a British champion record-holder
in the early 20th century

whose name was then lent to these frames.

And they are hand built.

To be fair, I haven't seen detail
on a bike like this before.

And this is a very collectable bike.

Fully restored, these bikes can
fetch hundreds of pounds.

First, Simon sets up dismantling
the bike.

Very, very excited about this.

Once I've stripped this back,
right to the frame and forks,

they will go off to the sprayer's.

Next, the tea set.

Phil, got a job for you. Alright.

The best polisher I know is...

Next door! ..you! Oh, no.

And then when it is absolutely
gorgeous, pristine, shiny and polished,

milk, no sugar.

There'll be no tea breaks for Phil.

The pewter has become dulled through oxidation,

so he gets cracking with the
polishing wheel.

Back in Oxfordshire, Guy is trying
to get the yachting radio
ship-shape.

The first thing I'm gonna do is sand
down the wood

and then stain it the same as
the outside.

He then polishes the aluminium cans

and surrounding metal

as well as the Bakelite knobs on the front.

I think that's starting to look
really nice, now.

Light bulbs will be positioned
either side to replace the old radio valves.

So that's the light fittings in
and wired into this base.

Now I've got to fit it all into the
box and wire it through the back.

Which I don't think should be
too tricky, hopefully.
Famous last words!

Outside, Henry is spraying the main
body of the trailer.

14 cans of this stuff later,
it's kind of done, hopefully.

I think it's looking alr...
Oh, hello!

Well, firstly, thanks for turning up.

You've done a good job on that,
mate!

You can put those down.
Good. They're heavy.

What are they? They're wheels.
For what? For this!

What? For this!

I've got another two in the truck.
Why are they brand new?

Because it was only the inner tube
holding it on on the inside.

The rim was completely shot.
So I bought four new ones.

I can't believe that. Really? Did
you get a good deal on 'em? Yeah.

Absolute belter. You don't want to know.

I'll find out one day! You'll find
out when you see the invoice.

OK. Look, if we're keeping those as
silver... Yes?

I think we should just go standard
and do the mudguards black.

Alright. Well, look. Things change,
mate. Yeah. Those are lovely.

I just hope we get our money back.

Back in Liverpool, Simon wants bike
restorer Gerry

to restore the frame to its original
1950s colour.

As the owner happily admitted,
he went mad in the '80s.

This is a 1980s paint job.

So what I'm thinking is, let's give
it that '50s feel again.

Like a pale green? It would have
been the colour of choice at the
time, yeah.

And then picking out all the lugs in
a dark green.

Get some very good transfers on
as well for you.

That would be absolutely lovely,
mate. I'll leave you to it.

I can't wait to see this.
Cheers, mate.

The original bikes were often sold
with pale colours

so they re-spray it in a gratifying green.

Back in the workshop, Gemma gets to
grips with the now-polished pewter
tea set.

It looks in really good condition,
now. Very shiny.

The only thing left to do is these handles.

So I'm gonna use a light sandpaper,
get rid of some of the dirt,

and then put a wax over the top.

And with work well underway on the
first set of items...

...it's time to reveal Simon's choice
of location.

He is taking Henry deep into Epping Forest

to see the sheds of Chris Willis
and his fiancee, Emma.

Chris works in the building trade

but his forest sheds are a tinkering paradise.

Over the years, you put bits and
pieces in sheds,

and they've just filled up with odds
and ends and junk.

Some things have rotted away and
some things are now collectable.

And the excitement has got to Henry
before he's even seen what's on offer.

Don't you think it's kind of
Robin Hood-esque?

He could be arriving to where we're
going on a BSA or... Robin Hood was
Sherwood Forest, not Epping Forest!

I'd love to have a place like this
to come to chill out and reflect
on the world!

Come on! You thought Robin Hood was
from Epping Forest?!

GREET EACH OTHER

How long have you had sheds on this
land?

The family's been here about 50 years.

You've got chickens, mate. Look at
them!

Take some home, if you want. You
cold beat peppers into a sandwich!

Just a thought!

Chris, here's what we'd like to do.
Have a wander round, pick two items each,

and try and make you some money.
That sounds good. Lovely.

We like money, don't we? If you had
some, what would you do with it?

We lost a good friend recently,
and we want to do a memorial bench
for him.

And the remainder of the money,
we're getting married next year.
So it'll go towards that.

In that case, come on!
Let's get clucking!

Wherever we go, we see trunks,
you see suitcases.

I haven't seen one of them before.

But we've never seen one covered in leather.

Oh, mate, that's really nice.

Come on. I need to see...
Yeah, look at that!

Before jet travel, people journeyed
for longer periods at a time.

Where now we rely on suitcases,

travellers previously had larger trunks

which porters loaded onto trains
and ships.

This one is probably
mid-20th century.

Let's just check the bottom, eh?

Yeah, mint. It's great, isn't it?

I'm gonna have it, just cos I'm
determined to get it open!

It could be Pandora's Box!

Simon has his first item.

And there are more sheds to go.

Oh. Immediately drawn to that.

That's quite sweet. It is, isn't it?

It looks comfy, as well. It is.

Only one way to find out.
Sit down while I...

Hang on.

Look at that. That's a sweet little
thing, isn't it?

But normally, they're as tall as
dining table height.
Do you think so?

Yeah. This is a little side table
from a kitchen. Look.

They cut it off here, at the knee,
so to speak.

In Europe, the first tables
specifically designed as coffee tables

were made in Victorian Britain.

They may have been influenced by
traditional Japanese short-legged
tables called chabudai.

Alright, well, look. There you go,
mate. One-all.

They both have another item each
to find.

Oh, I love a tarpaulin! Yeah.
I don't like the look of this!

We know the shape of a motorcycle!

Under the tarpaulin, bingo!

A lovely little AJS 650.

Although branded AJS,

this bike was, in fact, made by
Associated Motorcycles.

Looking quite mint.

Associated were a conglomeration of
British bike brands.

By the late '60s,
Japanese competition

had sent the British industry into decline.

Now, I'm no expert, but if you have
a pipe that's not attached to
anything, isn't that an issue?

With a cursory look, I can tell it
needs quite a lot of working.

And it surprises me, cos he normally
only takes them if you just need
to start them up.

Yeah. There you go.

The return spring's bust.

Yeah, there is compression, so the
engine isn't seized, by the feel
of it.

I assume this is your second item.
Tell you what. I'll give you a moment.

Have a loving moment. Oh, man.

Whilst Henry has a moment, Simon
needs to find his item number two.

Neee-arrr!

Not only has he found an engine,

but a wonderful remote-control
plane!

Now, am I right? You're the man who
knows these things.

But is that a Corsair?

Go to the top of the class,
Henry Cole! Is it?

The Vought Corsair was the first
US single-engine aircraft

to exceed 400 miles per hour

and first appeared
over the Pacific Ocean in 1943.

By the way, this is a hand launch.

See that there?

So you have someone else
launch it, then you take over.

Simon, over the years, has taken
the odd remote-control plane

that has remained firmly
on terra firma!

So when it lands, does it just
belly-flop?

No, no. I will get an undercarriage
for it.

This one, the Corsair, will fly

if it's the last thing it does!

This Corsair is going into the air!

And that means we've both got two
items. We have, indeed.

Are you gonna leave that there with
the bike? No, I'm gonna fly back
and tell the others.

Vroom!

Oh, children!

Time for Henry and Simon to show
Chris and Emma their haul.

Are you going first or shall I?
I'll go first. Go on, then.

That is a lovely model aeroplane.

I do design model aircraft,
and that's one of my designs

for which I sell plans
and people build them.

And that was the prototype
at the beginning.

It's flown and it's been hanging in
the shed ever since.

It's hand launched. It is, yeah.

But it will have landing
undercarriage?

Nope. It just skids in? You just
skid in.

And crashes! I'll try not to crash
it! Now, my second item.

Can either of you tell me anything
about that lovely leather-bound
trunk?

To start with, does it open?

I don't know. I've not looked in it!

Could be something in there.

But they're my two items, if that's
OK?

That's great.

Great stuff. Now, my two.
Tell me about that AJS.

It was a bargain. I bought it after
coming back from the pub.

And it went in the shed
and that's it.

So I'm gonna take it away, get it
going, hopefully. That sounds good.

Second item, that's a lovely little
table. Do you know anything about
that?

Nothing about it. No? At all, no.

No, I know nothing, neither!

Well, let me tell you,
it was in your shed!

I think it's lovely.

I've never seen it before in my
life, so you take it!

Really? Perhaps someone popped over
the fence and put it there
last night!

Yeah! Listen, guys, it's been
absolutely brilliant. Thank you very
much. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Thanks so
much. We'll see you in a while and
show you the fruits of our labours.

Come on. First one to catch a
chicken!

Oh, there's one over here!

He's sat down for you!

The winner!

Right. That's it.

Gemma goes looking for treasure.

Yes! It's open!

Ah!

Henry has motorbike remorse.

On a secondary inspection, the best
way to describe it is relatively
appalling!

And at the valuation...

This is going exceptionally well.
It is.

And I think it's gonna go
even better, now!

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien...

Ooh! A rather palatial shed!

...have chosen a further two items each

and are now back at their bases

ready to start the latest renovations.

In Liverpool, Simon is revealing his
haul to upcycling queen Gemma.

An aeroplane. Simon, are you sure?

Well, the reason I've got high hopes
for this one is because... Listen.

SQUEAKING
Hear that noise? Yeah.

That's a remote control servo.

Then it'll need some TLC
on the paintwork.

Right. Well, I'm sure you're happy
to take that on, aren't you?

Item two I think is far more up your street.

Now, this I like!
It's cool, isn't it? It is.

There is one small issue with this.
What's that?

Open it up and I'll tell you.

How do you open it?
That's the small issue!

That's a big issue, isn't it!

Gemma's left to battle with the trunk

while Simon has sent the Corsair
to model plane expert Robin.

He soon discovers the model's servos
and the radio receiver are working.

Just new batteries and the controls
are functioning once more.

Let's hope the engine is also
a runner.

Back at the workshop,

Gemma's not employing the same
delicate touch on the locked trunk.

I think I'm in!

Will the old trunk be hiding any
hidden treasures?

Yes, it's open!

Ah!

A welly? That's not treasure!

Over in Oxfordshire,

Henry does have some treasures for Guy.

Come on. Go over there and get
excited!

I'm very excited.

Are you? On a secondary inspection,

I think the best way to describe it
is relatively appalling!

The engine don't turn over any more,

the brake lever needs sorting out.

The mudguards are a terrible state,

the seat isn't attached properly.

It needs a new battery. You know,
where does it end?

That's a massive amount of work.

But no, he stood from a distance
and said, "I'll have that because
it looks cool."

We are going to try and get this
thing as a rider.

Yeah?

THEY CHUCKLE

Right. Second item. Yep.

It's a "smaller than it originally
was" table.

Oh, is it? I think what's happened here

is someone's made a coffee table out
of a normal table

by cutting it off just on that part
of the leg.

I get you. I wouldn't have noticed
that, but yes.

Everyone around the world has got
a table like that in their shed.

And thinking, "What shall I do with
that?" Well, we'll show you how.

A bit of sanding. Yes.
A bit of waxing. Yep.

And I think a little bit of painting.

So the table's straightforward,

but the bike isn't. Guy will have
his work cut out getting it started.

A must if they're to maximise its value.

There's no oil in the tank. These
are renowned for doing this.

When they're parked for a long
period of time,

the oil drains from the tank and in
the engine.

But Guy suspects there's more oil
to come out.

I'm now just draining the crank case

because I think it's what they call
wet-sumped.

I think most of the oil tank will be
in here. It may not be.

Yeah. That shouldn't be like that.

Next, Guy cleans the spark plugs
and tests for a spark.

Ignition on.

Great! It's a healthy spark.

And finally he cleans
the carburettor.

But it seems like a long road back
for the bike.

At least the coffee table provides
a welcome break.

It's fairly straightforward,
but it's gonna take a bit of time.

There's a few gouges I've got to get out.

So basically, the leg work in this
one is the sanding down.

Once the top is done,

Guy waxes the table.

Then gives it a good buffing.

I think with the blue we're gonna
paint it, it'll look lovely.

Back in Liverpool, the plane has
landed back from Robin's

and Simon is preparing it
for a re-spray.

It is going to fly.

He's tuned up the engine,
we've got new controls.

But if I'm gonna do that...

...it's gonna be looking at its best.

Simon matches the original blue
colour that the planes would have
been in World WarII.

Once dried, it's time to replace
the transfers.

OK. Let's get it unmasked.

With the masking tape removed,
the job's done.

We are ready for take-off!

On the other side of the workshop,

Gemma has decided to paint the trunk
to protect the leather.

This is quite tricky to paint.

Once painted, she moves on to the metalwork.

I was hoping once these were sanded back,

they'd look nice and shiny - gold or brass.

But that doesn't seem to be
the case. They're a bit dull.

They're still rusty and it's not
really ideal.

Sounds like you need a Plan B!

In Oxfordshire, Henry is checking on
the progress of the bike.

Boo! Hello, mate. Better late than
never, obviously. Yes.

How have you been getting on?
It looks quite nice. Very well, actually.

I love the patina on it as it is.
Yes. But the handlebars could do
with an improvement.

Ah, yes, the age-old trick of using
tin foil

to remove the blemishes on the metal.

As if by magic, the rust is dust.

So that is seriously acceptable
chrome, now.

Before they try firing up the bike,

there's some important priming work
to do on the coffee table.

You use primer to give it a good
base for the top coat to go on

and you get a better finish.
Also, it'll stick properly.

But we have sanded it down well,

so this coat will key to this one
really well.

Next, the blue paint, which should
really bring the old table to life.

I think that looks really nice.

I'm just gonna let that dry and put
another coat of blue on it

and then I'll show Henry.

Back in Liverpool, Gemma is
finishing off Simon's first set of items.

Isn't that lovely? Isn't it?

Do you know what? It just goes to show

that if something's got design in
the first place,

then a little bit of TLC
and a little bit of hard work

and now it's just gorgeous. Yeah.

Hopefully, it's not just Simon that
thinks it's gorgeous.

I thought I'd ask around a few
places with this tea set.

But I put it online

and it's sold at £50. Brilliant.

Next, the Freddie Grubb bike.

Fresh from its paint job, Simon is
finishing putting the bar tape on
the handlebars.

Beautiful.

It just goes to show that if
something was well built initially,

what you can do with a little bit of
skill and some hard work.

Who wouldn't want that?

And it's ready for a test ride.

Just a couple of things I must remember.

It's a track bike.

That means if I stop pedalling,
the back wheel jams up.

And it's got toe clips, so I can't
just stop and put my foot down.

Oh, well.

It's only been about 15 years
since I rode one of these.

The Freddie Grubb rides majestically
once again.

But can Simon remember how to bring
it to a stop?

She rides beautifully.

Oh - toe clips!

Gets me every time.

Do you think anyone saw me?

In Oxfordshire, Guy is also busy
with today's first items,

installing the ornamental lights
in the radio.

What do you reckon? That is
beautiful!

Absolutely lovely.

It's even better when it's switched on.

Are you ready? Yes. I think this is
a work of art.

OK. Oh, yeah, man!

What do you reckon to that?

It's just how I imagined it to be
but better!

Tally-ho. I'll make you a cup of
tea. Yeah, that's worth it. Yeah.

After a cup of tea,
the finishing touches are applied
to the twin-axle trailer.

It's great, man. Look, it's coming
together nicely.

Do you want me to turn it a bit
more?

It's had several thought changes on
the colours,

but a simple grey and black has
brought it out perfectly.

Phwoar! Shall I nip the wheel nuts
up now the wheels are on the ground?
Nip-nip!

It's looking great.

Now, the good thing about it,
well, there are two things.

First is it's basically done.

And secondly, I can now mow my lawn!

Henry spent big on four new wheels
and a lot of paint.

He'll have to get a good price if
he's to cover his costs and leave
a profit.

It's pukka. I'm sitting on,
or I'm about to sit on it now.

I want 1,750 for it, mate.

Oh. 1,650.

Alright. Alright, I give up.

Alright, mate. OK. 1,600 it is.

I know where you live, so no stress.
Alright, mate.

It's sold, but has Henry got a good
price for its owner, Duncan Harlock,

who's here for the valuation.

Serial collector Duncan has returned
to see if the boys have raised
enough cash

to restore his prized Moto Guzzi bike.

Hi, mate. Hey, Duncan, come on in.

Hello, mate! How are you?
Unbelievable. Hello, Simon.

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

Have a wander. Fill your boots.
This is unreal!

LAUGHS

Oh, wow!

You've blown me away. Beautiful.

That is absolutely stunning what
you've done.

Getting a bit jealous, now!

Woo-woo!

I want to take it for a spin!

Oh, what?

Very stylish. Come and join us.

What do you reckon? Unbelievable.

Absolutely beautiful.

The bike is... Well, it's blown me
away. And the radio...

I'm glad you love 'em, mate.
But have we made you any money?

To help us with that, we're being
joined by our independent valuer.

Elisicia Moore runs a fashionable
London store

specialising in upcycled furniture.

So she has a good eye for the true
market value of restored items.

Where shall we start? Do you want to
go first? Yeah. Trailer. Yeah.

A twin-axle car trailer.

A whopping £700 was spent painting,
cleaning and buying new wheels
for the car trailer.

If you did a search on an auction
site, you'd see them between
1,400 and 1,600

so I think going right down
the middle we'll say £1,500.

Are they? That sounds reasonable.
Done it up really nice.

I've flogged it, mate. You have?

Well, I have. 1,600 quid.

Oh, right. That's the reason why it
ain't here. Ah.

More than doubling its money, that's
a £900 profit on the trailer.

Now for my long wave radio
decorative item. Elisicia, be nice.

Ain't she pretty? A two-valve radio, 1930s.

When they originally came on the
market, they were selling for £18.

The unwanted radio turned out to be
beyond repair.

But £20 was spent on turning it into
a decorative lamp,

fit for the finest man cave.

They're still quite common and
fairly easy to get a hold of.

So that means they're not quite as
valuable as one might hope.

But you could still expect to
achieve £60.

That signals a profit of £40.

OK, time for tea. Tea set?

It's got really gorgeous lines.

Original Bakelite handles.

Hand-hammered pewter tray.

Might be missing some spoons.

All the tarnished tea set needed was
a good clean and polish

and some minor fixes with no money spent.

So they're quite common so that
does decrease the value.

If it was silver, it would be hundreds,

but it is pewter and for that reason
it comes in at £40.

Fair enough.

I've sold it, mate, for 50 quid.
So there you go. Happy days!

That's a sparkling £50 profit.

There you go. This is going
exceptionally well.

It is. And I think it's going to go
even better, now. I think it might.

Let's talk about something I know is
very dear to Duncan's heart.

Yeah. Let's talk about the Freddie Grubb.

It's absolutely beautiful. It is.

You could almost say it's art.
I love the colours. Yes.

It's been restored extraordinarily well.

£220 was spent on the paint job
and new fixtures and fittings

to revive the neglected Freddie
Grubb bike.

They're falling around the £500 mark
when they're restored to this level.

So I'm gonna give it an estimate of
£500

but you may be able to get more if
you found the right buyer. Yes.

That's a £280 profit.

It was brilliant coming to your
place. You've been a pleasure to
deal with. It's beennice.

And you're going home with £1,270.

How about that? I'm more than impressed.

So Henry's choice of location,
the sheds belonging to Duncan,

could have earned him a profit
of £1,270.

But Duncan's smitten with the racing
bike and wants to keep it.

The pushbike has blown me away.

My dad bought this.

And for him to see that,
cos he's now 84,

that's gonna be a real hit for him.

It's a high five for Henry!

ENGINE STARTS

I told ya!

A low blow for Simon.

Do you know anyone who can fix
aeroplanes?

And there's bad news at the valuation.

She does need an engine rebuild

if you want to go over 35, 40 miles
an hour. That's a shame, isn't it?

The kings of clutter, Henry Cole
and Simon O'Brien

are on a mission to turn junk into
pots of cash.

What's happened? Is it smelly in
there?

Today's first location, chosen by Henry,

raised up to £1,270

if owner Duncan was to part with his
father's cherished racer.

Woo-woo! I want to take it for a
spin!

So, can Simon's choice of rummage spot...

I haven't seen one of them before.

...the sheds belonging to Chris
Willis and fiancee Emma do any
better?

At a secret military base in Liverpool,

the Corsair is about to take to the skies.

OK, Robin, I've got it looking
pretty, at least.

OK? Yeah. Let's find out what it
looked like up there.

Final checks done...

MOTOR WHIRRS

...it's clear for its hand-launched
take-off.

Wa-hey!

Come on, Robin, lad. It's away.

With its iconic W-shaped wings,

the Corsair commands the skies again.

Ha-ha!

OK, if you bring it down, I'd love
to have a go.

Ooh, yeah!

Nice work, Robin.

A quick tutorial, and pilot O'Brien
takes over.

That's it. I'm ready, now.

But Robin's ready with the dual
controls, just in case...

Why's it doing that? I've got it.

I've got that.

...if things get hairy.

Bring her round and you've got her again.

She's yours.

Gentle movements.

As Robin said, "gentle" movements.

Yeah. Low throttle.

That's gentle movements, Simon!

Oof!

Or is that "Brace, brace", Simon?

She was yours, then! I know that!

Oooh.

Um... Do you know anyone who can fix
aeroplanes?

We might be a bit beyond that!

I've got some explaining to do!
Cheers, mate. Cheerio.

Over in the workshop, Gemma has a
Plan B for the vintage trunk.

She's applying a dark finishing wax
to the metalwork

which will prevent damp
and therefore rust.

What do you think, then?

I think it's absolutely spot-on.

And all that dowdy brown has gone.

Absolutely top job, that, Gemma.
Good! Brilliant.

In Oxfordshire, Henry is making a
few final touches

to the coffee table by removing some
overspill of blue paint.

Lovely Jubbly!

A little bit of polish and she's a
beauty!

Something else that's looking
a beauty is the motorbike.

Guy has painstakingly cleaned and
polished the bodywork but will
it start?

The moment of truth. Yes.

I'm gonna get my leg over.
OK. Go for it.

Right. So fuel is on.

Ignition on. Yes.

Let's just do it.

Oh.

ENGINE STARTS

I told ya!

The old AJS motorbike rides again.

But having had some modifications
over the years,

including a different engine,

Henry doesn't want to push it
too much.

A-hah! Hang on.

How was that?

That bike is eminently saleable now.

And, I'll tell you what, mate,
it looks gorge. I love it.

It's very Marlon Brando Wild Ones.
How do I look like that?

Er, nothing at all like
Marlon Brando!

Chris Willis and his fiancee, Emma,

are back to see if the boys have
made a profit

from the junk in the sheds.

Chris, Emma. Hello, come on in.
How are you? Good to see you.

How are you? Good to see you.
Hello, Emma. How are you?

Fine. Lovely to see you.

So you don't forget us!

Look at that! Thank you so much.

And look, they're not broken which
is not everything that I can say today.

Go and look around, guys. Wow,
the bike looks a lot different.

- Look at the bike!
- Yeah.

I think Simon's got some explaining
there, by the sound of it!

You noticed!

Come and join us. Come and join us.

I'll explain.

You will be pleased to know... Yep.

...that that beautiful Corsair

flew fabulously... Good!

...in the hands of a competent flier!

Ah. And then I took over.

The good news is, it's now in the
hands of a professional

who is rebuilding it. Great stuff.

Have we made you any money?

To find out, we're now joined by our
independent valuer, Elisicia.

Hiya. Hi, nice to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.

Elisicia's back to cast her eye over
the newly renovated items.

I'm gonna go first. I think you
should. OK.

In your mind's eye, Elisicia,
I want you to imagine

a beautiful Corsair model aeroplane

flying through the skies of Cheshire
in perfect working order.

And that is how I'd like you to
value it if you could,

rather than... Than that.
...than that.

Naughty, naughty!

£80 was spent on getting the Corsair flying

and Simon's having the crash damage
repaired at no extra cost.

You know, they're still definitely collectable,

not so collectable like that!
It will be collectable. But it will
be collectable.

And then he's never allowed to fly
it again, I would suggest!

HENRY: She's right, mate.
Fair comment.

For a very, very quick sale, I would
evaluate the plane at £200.

So once it's fixed up, the plane
promises £120 profit.

Let's go from a complete crash to,
I think, a winner. Yes, the trunk?
Yeah.

I love the red, the metal supports. Beautiful.

The leather banding.

Scrubbing up the leather banding
and painting the battered chest

cost just £10.

They often sell quite quickly
in my shop.

I think you could easily achieve
£220.

I've sold it for a little bit less
than that. 200 quid. Yep.

Finally, some treasure from the chest.

A profit of £190.

Let's talk small tables, shall we?

A great size, great shape.

It's very commercial. Shame about
the colour.

That colour's fine
when it's a bespoke request.

The neglected table was repaired for
nothing more than some left-over
paint and wax.

So it could go anywhere
between 60 to £80. Sounds good.

Chris, Emma, I've flogged it, actually,

and I'm sorry to say it was at the
bottom of the estimate. 60 quid.

Still, that's a £60 profit
on the discarded table.

So, let's talk about something that
I think is a slight issue,

your motorbike. Yes.

We got her running and I've taken
her for a ride,

and she starts first time on the kick.

The bad news, though, is that she
does need an engine rebuild

if you want to go over 35, 40 miles
an hour.

CHRIS: That's a shame.

Some oil draining, engine cleaning
and some general TLC

got the old bike running again
for nothing.

For all the reasons he's outlined,
it's not a collector's item.

So you're not gonna get top whack.

And for that, you can expect £1,500.
Yep.

That's still a £1,500 profit.

All in all, adding it up together,

you're going home, minus our costs,

with £1,870.

That's fantastic. Really good, yeah.
There you go.

That'll do well. Thanks very much.

Now we're going home
with half a dozen eggs each!

Yeah. Actually, mate, I'd like mine scrambled.

Give 'em to me - I'll make sure
they're scrambled!

So Simon's choice of location has
netted £1,870 for Chris and Emma.

I think both the guys have done
really well with the stuff.

The chest was my favourite.
The colours were really nice.

Earlier, Henry's choice of location
raised up to £1,270,

making Simon today's clear winner.

Nee-arrr! That was a victory roll.

Look, I have to say that for once in
your life,

you didn't crash and burn cos you've
won.

But hang on a second, you did crash!

Yeah. But I won!

But you did crash!
