Well, you know, it all depends on
the quality of the car really.
517
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,520
The event was created to gather
the 60 best cars in the world.
518
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,960
Only the best.
519
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,600
But you still have your, like,
tier 2?
520
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,720
What do you have to be
to get in there?
521
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Yeah, I think what you're referring
to is probably the club trophy.
522
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,320
That's it.
523
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Where the Rolls-Royce club
might submit a car
524
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
and the Bentley club
might submit a car.
525
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960
It's a Ford Escort RS 2000.
526
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,640
But, that, to a lot of people now,
527
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,560
is going to be seen
as a really special car.
528
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,480
I mean that's, you know,
people remember them fondly.
529
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,080
I'll say this, we've never had one
before at the event,
530
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,720
but these cars are all gathered here
531
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,560
because of the passion of the owners
of these cars.
532
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,240
You know, this is the car
that peoples dads would have owned.
533
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Exactly, that was my thinking.
534
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:39,600
So, do you think...
do you think we could do it?
535
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,600
I think we could swing it.
536
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,160
Oh mate! That would be...
537
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,840
I promise you,
it will be up to scratch.
538
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,520
Yeah, look forward to seeing
the car there.
539
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,080
Mate, that's brilliant.
Thank you, Luke. Owe you big time.
540
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Alright. No worries.
Cheers. Bye.
541
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,480
Yahey.
Bye.
542
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,080
Thank you. Oh my word!
543
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,160
I did not think
that was gonna work.
544
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200
I thought he just laugh me
out of town, but it worked.
545

The only thing is...

00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,800
Ooh.
547
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040
I've got that slightly anticlimactic
feeling you get
548
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,480
after some really good news,
549
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
then you realise, "Yeah,
we've actually gotta do it now."
550
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Ah...it's not far away.

(SOFT COUNTRY MUSIC)
552
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,960
I bought this Fast 4 to showcase
what the lads can do,
553
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,720
and hopefully turn a profit
when we eventually sell it.
554
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,840
We've stripped the car and
completely restored the rusted body.
555
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,640
Now it's ready for a full respray
and rebuild.
556
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,120
Chaps, I've just been talking
on the phone
557
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,760
to the organiser of
the Hampton Court Palace Concours,
558
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,960
and, long story short,
559
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,280
he said we can take
and show our Escort there.
560
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,080

The big event?

Yeah...
Alongside the best cars in the world.

00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Are you happy to do that?
Yeah.
564

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.
I'd love to go though.

I'm a bit nervous time scale wise,
but I'd love to go.

Yeah, I've seen it.

the most discerning car collectors
584
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,440
and some of the best cars
in the world will be there.

They're gonna be alright.
They see it as an opportunity.

They get it.

I can't put into words how long
this car's gonna take to build.
589
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,280
So we won't be going home.
What worries me...
590
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,640
We literally will not be going home.

to get invited there.

shown at the Hampton Court Concours

that we need to improve on this car.

to the bottom field where we do some
clay pigeon shooting.

too close

The headrests to do.

That's just my opinion anyway.
That looks brilliant.

but beige was an option,

these and the seats isn't there?

(LAUGHTER)
859
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,440
Reckon we slipped into this event
a treat and nobody...
860
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,840
Nobody noticed, mate.
861
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,360
Nobody noticed.
862
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,080
That was terrifying.
863
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:06,480
Are you sure about going on the lawn?
864
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,240
Oh Rob.
Outside the palace!
865
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,600
He meant the other grass.
Oh brilliant.
866
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,440
That's gonna mess the croquet up
isn't it?
867
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:13,560
It'll be fine.
868
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,520
Some of the best cars in the world.
In the world.
869
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,520
There's people who've spent
hundreds of thousands...
870
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,880
And our car from our little
workshop...
871
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,360
Yeah.
..is amongst it.
872
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,520
Yeah, it's on the edge,
but it's amongst it.
873
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,520
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)
874
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,920
Let's have a stroll down and just
check out the competition.
875
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
(LAUGHS)
876
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,840
See if we're in with a chance.
877
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,600
Yeah.
878
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,920
Look how fine that line is on there.
Yeah.
879
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,280
That's all in one.
Look how sharp it is on that edge.
880
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,760
Look at the size of the wheels.
881
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,960
That is... I like that.
882
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,880
Yeah, it's not perfect though.
883
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,200
No.
I'd say.
884
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:51,320
I'll tell you what, I was a bit
nervous bringing it here today.
885
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,400
You were?
886
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,880
I look at all the other cars here
and they've spent...
887
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,120
She's holding her own.
She's a good little car.
888
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,520
And the other thing is with
this car, if you think about it,
889
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,240
all those all posh high-end cars
are millions of pounds worth
890
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,120
and this is like
you're working class hero car.
891
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Me and dad have never been to a show
like this before.
892
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,480
I've always dreamt of it
and to actually be around this now.
893
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,800
It's like a dream come true
for us both.
894
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,560
A lot of these cars
I've only ever read about,
895
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:16,840
I've never seen 'em in the flesh.
896
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,120
Well, now we're playing with
the big fishes in the sea,
897
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,080
so this is gonna be like next step.
898
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,560
And, in a minute, I think we've got
the judges coming around
899
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,840
to look around our work.
900
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,760
So I'm starting to get
a bit nervous.
901
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,160
I'm anxious.
902
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,280
Whatever they say,
you'll learn by it.
903
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,320
Hello. Are you the owner sir?
Yes, I'm Richard.
904
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,400
Is now a good time to tell you
I've got an original as well.
905
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:37,880
Custom.
Oh, no.
906
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,200
No, it's not.
907
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,480
As you can see, there is an engine.
908
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,160
The front required
considerable work.
909
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:48,240
It had gone in all the places
that these go...which, Neil, is?
910
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,560
Well, basically, it was delivered by
dustpan and brush.
911
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:53,760
(LAUGHTER)
Near enough.
912
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,440
And in six weeks
we've changed the chassis legs,
913
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,120
the inner wing, front panel,
the bulkhead.
914
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,640
This car, originally,
did have black interior.
915
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,160
And the netting head guard.
916
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:05,520
So why did you go for pale?
917
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,640
'Cause Richard decided
he wanted to contrast.
918
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:09,000
Oh.
919
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,520
I have to say, I've got a real soft
spot for RS 2000's
920
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,880
They're brilliant cars.
They speak totally of the era.
921
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,640
Hugely evocative.
922
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:20,160
What's important about
a lot of the judging we're doing
923
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:22,320
is the story
and where the cars come from,
924
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,120
how it's got there
and the story behind this
925
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,000
and the guys that have worked
tirelessly for seven weeks,
926
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,920
really adds to it.
927
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,440
Charming car.
928
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,360
When you restore a car
that's original,
929
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,080
it's that fine balance between
keeping it original
930
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,320
and over-restoring it.
931
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,760
Seeing what they've done to this,
they've hit that balance perfectly.
932
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,520
Mine is an original one and it's
certainly starting to show its age,
933
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,040
so I would definitely consider
sending the car to them.
934
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:50,600
Beautiful.
935
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,440
Yeah, takes me back many years
when I was first looking at these
936
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:54,840
back in the 80s.
937
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,080
This is an immaculate model.
938
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,120
Somebody's obviously spent a lot
of love and time putting it together.
939
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,280
Yeah, it fits in very, very well.
940
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,240
You can park that in a car park
next to a Bentley,
941
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,120
I'll bet more people'd be crowding
round the Escort looking at it.
942
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,680
And it's just...it's absolutely mint
and it's not been spoiled.
943
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,440
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
944
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,920
So if we're looking at the F40...
945
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,200
elegance of design
is the sort of top one.
946
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,880
Out of 10...
947
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,760
Well, you've got to say it's top.
It's 10, isn't it?
948
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,760
It is 10. It's perfect.
It's absolutely perfect.
949
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:31,840
Yeah.
950
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,920
And then, on the Jaguar
the originality of that,
951
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,800
that was sort of...
Oh spectacular.
952
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,440
It's not always those super valuable
cars though
953
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,520
that are deserved winners
in my humble opinion.
954
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,560
I do love that RS 2000.
955
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,960
Yeah. Yeah.
It's a people's car.
956
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,440
It's a people's car.
957
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,360
Unfortunately...
I know.
958
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,480
..he should have had
the original interior.
959
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,600
I know.
960
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,640
It's a shame because every attention
to detail was matched for it, but...
961
00:41:57,720 --> 00:42:01,080
It's such a lovely car and,
you know, the car's behind us,
962

some incredible machinery here,
963
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,360
but it stands on its own two feet,
doesn't it?
964
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,920
It's a car that people love.
Absolutely.
965
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,960

hugely proud
966

as we're going to get to it.

for doing it.

Well done all. Well done, The Cog.

If the judge wants us to restore
or work on her car,
977
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,080
what higher accolade than that
could you want?
978
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,800
That's very true,
'cause there's somebody
979
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640
who's going to know
what they're looking at,
980
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:48,600
And she said that we could work
on their car.
981
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:49,680
Yeah.
982
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,440
Her's is an unrestored one
and we could do it.
983
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,880

To get here to this place
with that car,

worth more than anything.
