Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,760
This time...
Cogs assemble!
2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,560
..our doors are finally open
for business.
3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Oh ho! I love it already.
4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,160
This is like car heaven
really, innit?
5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,280
But the business...
6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Is it going to break even?
Not yet.
7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,240
..is running on empty.
8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,240
You've loaned 226,400.
9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,560
Brilliant.
10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,320
I tried to raise some quick cash.
Third and final time.
11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,600
Genuine nerves.
12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,480
And boost morale.
13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,680
Oh, yeah.
14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,280
He's probably screaming.
15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,200
And I'm still learning the business.
16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,520
The hard way.
17
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,400
There are some flaws
with this design, aren't there?
18
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,640
Yeah.
19
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,880
Cars have been my life.
20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Give it a bit more!
21
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Talking about them...
22
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:49,720
This is a force of nature.
23
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,960
Thrashing them.
24
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,320
That's not what I wanted to see!
25
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080
And crashing them.
26
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,600
But now...
27
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,120
Don't panic, I'm here.
28
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560
..I'm fulfilling my lifelong dream
29
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,360
and starting my own
classic car workshop.
30
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Should I get my overalls on?
31
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Restoring some of the finest
classic cars in the world.
32
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Heavenly automotive lord.
33
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,200
With father and son team
Neil and Anthony Greenhouse...
34
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,880
We're trusting him
on our reputation.
35
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,200
Look away. Botching in process.
36
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,840
Oh, you son of a...
37
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,800
..I'll be learning how
to be a businessman.
38
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480
What you need
is The Smallest Cog.
39
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,760
To be honest,
you've got my attention a bit now.
40
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600
And getting my hands dirty.
41
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,760
I'm gonna swallow this screw
in a minute and die!
42
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,840
Do it quietly.
43
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,680
It will test my bank balance.
44
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,800
We could ruin the business
quite easily.
45
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,360
And my relationships.
46
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,440
You'll enjoy it.
Will I?
47
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,920
As I take my obsession
to a whole new level.
48
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040
It's the best game I've ever played,
and the most terrifying.
49
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
I've got two words on my mind
as I commute in
50
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,840
in the morning to work
and they are 'I'm first.'
51
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,200
I can prepare my smug face
for when they get in.
52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,640
So far, my cathedral to classic cars
is a little underpopulated.
53
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,160
I've got to fill
this place with work.
54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,840
That's...
55
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:26,960
Simple as that.
56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,680
That's the cold, stark light
of reality there.
57
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,240
Coming in.
58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,480
I say empty,
we've got Dean's Land Rover.
59
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,000
There's not a lot of profit in that
but it's bait
60
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,240
because if we make
a good job of that,
61
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Dean might give us
a crack at his Bentley,
62
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,960
and we've got the RS
which will be profit in that
63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,160
when we sell it, and in the spirit
of speculate to accumulate,
64
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,320
Neil's brother Andrew
is now joining us properly
65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,800
which means we are fully armed
with talent and skill,
66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,120
so when the work does come along,
we're gonna be ready for it.
67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,680
So, there is stuff happening.
68
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,120
Kettle.
69
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Wealthy car collector Dean
has asked us to sort out
70
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360
a few minor paintwork issues
and a dodgy door
71
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600
on his 1967 Series 2 Land Rover.
72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,320
I thought it would be
a pretty straightforward job.
73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,680
But Neil's already spotted
a big problem.
74
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,560
If you look at the door,
the distance from there to there
75
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:24,840
is the same.
76
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,520
The distance from the bottom
of there to there is the same.
77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,920
So the hinges on both sides
are symmetrical, yet the door isn't.
78
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,560
There's something fundamentally
wrong with it all.
79
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,440
Who knew such a simple car could be
so bloody complicated?
80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,720
I've got some fishing line,
81
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520
I'm gonna go fishing,
fishing for bent Land Rovers.
82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,680
This is how you measure if this tub,
which is this bit at the back,
83
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,960
is straight.
84
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
So you put a piece of string
across that quality to that corner,
85
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
and that corner to that corner,
and they sort of touch in the middle.
86
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,040
If they don't,
it's because it's twisted.
87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
See, it's not far out but it is out.
88
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,120
With this Land Rover,
we want to do a good job
89
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,120
because hopefully we'll get to do
his Bentley R Type
90
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520
which we want to do,
so we're trying to use
91
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,720
a little bit of fishing line
to land a trawler's worth of fish.
92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,600
We're hoping to catch Moby Dick.
93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Nothing is in the right place.
You only need one bit out
94
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,360
and it just chases
all the way along the car.
95
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,600
Net result is the doors don't shut.
96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,640
You can either shim the door
to fit the car,
97
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,480
which wouldn't be perfect
but it would make it work,
98
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,880
or you want to disassemble it,
reassemble it properly
99
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,640
and make all the bits
in a jigsaw equal.
100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
But that's a huge difference.
Yeah, massive difference.
101
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
We can make it as good
as we want to make it
102
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,600
but you can't make it
a concourse Land Rover
103
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,280
for 35 quid.
104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,240
This job is all about sending
it back to Dean and him saying,
105
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,600
"Yeah, great, like what you've done,
you can restore my Bentley."
106
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,160
He needs to trust that we're not
gonna run away and go berserk,
107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,040
but neither are we gonna
cut corners and say,
108
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920
"Yeah, that's done," when it isn't.
109
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080
According to that,
110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,200
you can drive a double decker bus
through here,
111
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,200
and a fag paper through there.
112
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,680
Well, they do say necessity
is the mother of invention,
113
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280
and Neil is nothing
if not inventive.
114
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720
He thinks he might be able
to realign the body
115
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080
using some simple ratchet straps.
116
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920
It's a bit like the story with
the man with a hammer, you know.
117
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,440
You're paying for the knowledge,
not how long it takes.
118
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240
There we are, we've got that
and under tension,
119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,000
so what we'll have to do
is slacken all the bolts off
120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,000
and then this tub
will be where it should be.
121
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,160
While Neil checks
if his clever fix has worked,
122
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,480
Anthony's got to fettle the Escort
to make sure we get top money
123
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,160
at the upcoming auction.
124
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,840
Now we've got to make a checklist
of all the stuff
125
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,120
we didn't get done in time
for Hampton Court.
126
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,840
Got brake lines to sort. And bleed.
127
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360
And I've got to get Andrew
to finish a few little touches off
128
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,000
to make it extra special
for the auction.
129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,080
These hinges are too low
so we'll elongate these holes,
130
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320
eighth of an inch. It'll lift
the door eighth of an inch,
131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,160
and we should be able
to get it square
132
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,440
so the door will open
and shut like it should do.
133
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,600
The Land Rovers
need to go to the dentist.
134
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,040
I have a filling saw.
135
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,520
I've adjusted these as much
as I can without going mad.
136
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Going to drop the door back on,
tighten the bolts up
137
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,440
and see if it shuts.
138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,360
Now is the moment of truth.
139
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,280
Perfect.
140
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,680
Last time we tried
to shut this door,
141
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,400
you would go to there
and it would pinch,
142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,440
and you had to slam it,
and then of course,
143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560
you're driving down the road
and the door bounces open,
144
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000
very dangerous, but now, perfect.
145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880
I'm happy with that.
146
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,440
So far, it's been
a good first morning.
147
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000
(PHONE RINGS)
148
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,320
I haven't mentioned
that I've got a cold, have I?
149
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Hello.
150
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Well, where are we with money?
151
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
What is the situation, how bad is it?
152
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,080
OK, so loans to date,
you've loaned 226,400.
153
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080
Around quarter of a million.
154
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Brilliant.
155
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Obviously, we've got
increased overheads,
156
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,080
plus our rent's gone up
considerably.
157
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,000
It is this really terrifying phase
at the moment
158
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,040
where everything's gone up
in cost massively
159
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,720
and we can do nothing to meet it.
160
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800
What is our monthly spend now,
just to tick over?
161
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Just overheads alone, 15,000.
162
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,880
Right.
163
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080
I think we should be looking
at 20,000 a month to cover hours,
164
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
rent, insurance,
then at least we've got buffers.
165
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,000
So, we need to be billing for 20,000.
166
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,680
That's the hours, not the material.
Exactly, yeah.
167
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,280
You're gonna need more money from me
before the end of this month.
168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,440
We're hoping to sell
the Escort soon, next week.
169
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,320
That will be money coming back in.
170
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,400
What's the estimated
selling price on that one?
171
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080
I'd like it to get over 40.
Let's say 40. Right. Yes.
172
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280
I will talk to you very soon.
Thank you for that today.
173
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Alright, talk to you soon.
You take care, OK, bye.
174
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Cheers, bye.
175
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,320
I do like her, she's great,
176
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,120
but talking to her is often
far from a breath of fresh air.
177
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,040
It is a bit of a wake-up call.
178
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440
The message from my accountant
is pretty clear.
179
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,680
The Land Rover and Escort
won't keep us going for long.
180
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Just to break even and pay the bills,
we need some big restoration jobs.
181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,080
Right, you are
in charge of navigation.
182
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,160
I'm hoping an old customer of Neil's
might have just the thing.
183
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,600
So you know this guy?
184
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,640
Michael Fenton, yep.
Known him for 30 years plus.
185
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,600
And what does he want us to look at?
186
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:57,680
He's got, in his collection,
an Alvis TA 21.
187
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,280
Do we know what state it's in?
188
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,640
I know it's been in his barn
for years and years and years.
189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,720
So, in a way, this is a barn find.
190
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,360
It's not like we're finding it.
191
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,360
You know it's there,
he's knows it's there, but...
192
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,480
It's exactly what a barn find is,
193
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,320
he's put it in the barn
to keep it dry,
194
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,840
keep it out the elements.
195
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,480
And that's what everybody wants now.
196
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:17,560
Barn finds are...
That's the thing
197
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,600
because you know
it's not been touched.
198
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:20,760
That's it, yeah.
199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Hello.
200
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Good afternoon, how are you?
Hello, Michael.
201
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,280
How's the new home?
202
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
It's starting to feel
a bit more homely.
203
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640
Oh, this is a proper barn.
204
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,760
Look at that.
205
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,120
Ooh! How long has it stood here?
206
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,920
About 15 years.
207
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,800
I'm the third owner.
208
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Had it since 1975.
209
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,320
It's been to the South of France,
it's been all over the place.
210
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,280
So it's had peaks and troughs.
211
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880
It's had rather a larger trough.
I'm gonna say it's in a trough.
212
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,880
It's in a trough as we speak.
It's troughing.
213
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760
So how far do you want
to go with this?
214
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,800
It sounds like...
215
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,240
It would be nice to bring it back
to good, usable condition.
216
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,400
So you want to drive this around?
217
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,120
Yes, it would be fun to drive.
218
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
They were known as
the sporting man's Bentley.
219
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Oh, that's reason enough
to want to recommission it.
220
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,720
Just...
Can you think of a better excuse?
221
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,320
I'll be outside. I shall be in
the silver sporting man's Bentley.
222
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,160
So, the plan would be
we'll have a proper look
223
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,600
and build a proper plan.
224
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,360
The actual bodywork, we could
work that out quite quick
225
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,840
and work out a price to do that.
226
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Good, right, that's the plan.
227
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,520
That's really exciting.
Terrific.
228
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,800
The greenshoots of new business
are starting to sprout,
229
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,320
but we need money in the bank now.
230
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,440
With any luck, we'll get
a big injection of cash today.
231
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Are we agreed it is done,
232
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,560
it is better than we were
going to make it?
233
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,680
We'll have a sweepstake
on what we think it's gonna raise.
234
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,040
Pick a number.
235
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Pick a number? 36.
Oh, that's low.
236
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,600
41.
I was gonna go 42.
237
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,840
I'll go 42.5.
238
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,600
OK, well, let's see what it does.
239
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600
There's been some late nights
getting this car ready,
240
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,360
but hopefully,
when it goes to auction now,
241
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,480
everything will be done,
all the hours of hard work
242
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,080
that all four of us have put on it
will be actually worth it
243
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,440
and we'll get good money
back for it.
244
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,120
Uh. Whoa.
245
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Can we buy a car, restore it,
and sell it
246
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,920
and make money over and above
what it genuinely cost us?
247
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,800
I don't know yet.
248
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,280
Oh, I'm scared.
249
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,360
I... Yeah.
250
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,080
Right, everything is online.
251
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,360
So I've got the online catalogue up.
252
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Ooh, it's underway.
253
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,320
31, faraway.
254
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,360
There's my car.
255
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Right, doing the sums.
Car cost me 26 at auction.
256
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,360
I limited them to 120 hours
of labour on it
257
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,200
so let's call it five grand costs,
258
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,360
plus six grand of parts,
so the thing owes me 37.
259
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,440
I think they've done a cracking job.
260
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Obviously done lots and lots
of work with it.
261
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
I know they've invested
an awful lot in the car
262
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,360
so we've guided it at 35,000
to 40,000.
263
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560
One never knows what a car is worth
but they have their own
264
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,880
intrinsic value
that the market decides.
265
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720
29 bid here then, 30 I can go.
266
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,200
Oh, I'm terrified.
267
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Because we're next.
268
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Don't spend all your money,
save your money!
269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,200
Don't spend it on that,
spend it on that!
270
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,600
If this sells well,
anything north of 37,
271
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,960
that will pay to keep
us running next month.
272
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840
Third and final time,
selling faraway the Sierra Cosworth.
273
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,960
I've got that
churning stomach feeling again.
274
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Oh, oh, oh. Genuine nerves.
275
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,280
Right, we're up.
276
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Now, here's a special thing.
277
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Lot 562 is the RS 2000 Mark 2,
278
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,040
and not just any old
RS 2000 Mark 2,
279
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,720
this was prepared and supplied
by Richard Hammond
280
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,440
of Top Gear fame.
281
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,280
It's his new business,
The Smallest Cog.
282
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,480
Just sell the bloody car.
283
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Thank you,
we're straight in here now, 31.
284
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440
Faraway at 31 bid.
285
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,800
Come on. Please bloody bid.
I'd buy it.
286
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,400
32 now bid.
287
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,640
At £32,000.
288
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Bid three if you like.
289
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,520
At 32,000.
290
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Bid, bid, bid.
291
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,880
500 if it helps in another place.
292
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,040
So, what do I do?
293
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,480
Don't miss it for £300.
294
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,200
32.8. Nod of the head.
295
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Near to me, it's 33,000 against you.
296
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,080
Please let it have just stalled
and it's gonna pick up again.
297
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Hammers up then,
ladies and gentlemen.
298
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Final call. Are we all done?
299
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,000
33,200, yes or no?
300
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,160
33,000 first time.
It's 33,000 faraway second time.
301
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,320
Here's the hammer, are we all done?
302
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,920
The '79 Escort RS 2000 Mark 2
selling at £33,000.
303
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,680
Right, I'm gonna have
to go ring the guys.
304
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,040
A very sad result.
305
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Hello, it's me.
306
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Yeah, well, not brilliant.
307
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,160
I take it, were you watching?
308
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,240
It is.
309
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,760
My chin's taking
quite a lot on it at the moment.
310
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,920
It's feeling a bit sore.
311
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,560
Cheers.
312
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,760
Oh god. That is
a huge disappointment.
313
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920
A real blow, that.
314
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,600
We had so much invested in that car
and a lot of hopes for it,
315
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,080
and it's not good.
316
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,000
It's not good at all.
317
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,480
It's a bloody heartbreak
because I really wanted
318
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,640
some good news financially
for the business.
319
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,840
I wanted to say to the guys,
320
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,640
"Yeah, look!
We've paid for all the hours
321
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
"and we made five grand
on top of that."
322
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,480
We didn't.
323
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,480
Buy at auction, everybody knows
what you paid for it,
324
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,280
and then they don't want to pay
much more than that.
325
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,000
No matter what you've done to it.
326
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,920
A big lesson learned here.
327
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,600
Right, there is only thing
to do right now
328
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,640
and it involves a brisk drive home
and a pub.
329
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,920
Once I get home.
330
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,280
OK, so I'm not much
of a wheeler dealer.
331
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,560
Back to plan A.
332
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Attracting customers
with deep pockets.
333
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,880
But a sophisticated customer
is going to expect
334
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,840
a sophisticated setting,
335
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,200
and frankly,
our customer liaison area
336
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,200
is a bit, well, rustic.
337
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720
I've been told to just come
and have a little look.
338
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,920
What is actually going to happen
is I'm gonna become
339
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,440
interior designer for this place.
340
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,800
Hello.
Hello.
341
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,160
Come on in.
342
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,960
So, I want you to have a look at all
the stuff we've got to do
343
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,600
to finish being here
because there is much to be done.
344
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,400
Don't be distracted
by the dog in the crate.
345
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,080
This is the sort of living space.
346
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,640
So, is that the entrance
for customers and anybody else?
347
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Yes, and there'll be a counter there
with a lifting flap
348
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,760
so the guys can come in
from the workshop
349
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,200
and go straight into their room.
OK.
350
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Straight away, that's an issue.
351
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Because how wide
do you need this counter?
352
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,280
Doesn't have to be wide.
353
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,800
It's just to stop people,
to sort of arrive there.
354
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Might have a telephone on it.
355
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,000
Box of lollipops.
356
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Presumably you're going
to plasterboard there.
357
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,880
There won't be a board in front of...
358
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,640
That's the wall.
359
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120
You can't leave that like that.
We're gonna paint it.
360
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Workshop. I mean...
361
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360
It's not a luxury spa weekend
you're arriving for.
362
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,920
So if somebody's waiting,
where are they going, upstairs?
363
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Is there a waiting room upstairs?
364
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Could be.
365
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Are you planning to have
access up to there?
366
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,400
Steps, a posh lavatory for guests.
367
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Right.
368
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,440
I think up to there is a nice,
pleasant sitting, meeting area,
369
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,040
and then from here up
could be storage.
370
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,360
But the loo is there,
so if you've got visitors
371
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,520
and they want to use the loo,
they've got to climb over the parts
372
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,080
or go through the parts.
373
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,720
Yes.
374
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,000
No.
375
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,400
There are some flaws
with this design, aren't there?
376
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Yeah.
377
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,320
I just hope that he's actually
made space in the budget
378
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,040
for how much there is still left
to do because there's quite a lot.
379
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Lesson in interior design over,
we've got a more pressing problem.
380
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,760
The next thing is now, we've got
to sort this paintwork out
381
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,520
on the Land Rover,
but unfortunately,
382
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,360
it's not that easy because if you
look at this vehicle closely,
383
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,120
somehow they've got three
different shades of green on it.
384
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,800
We're trying to get this job
as good as we can
385
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,640
without financially
ruining ourselves
386
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,080
because we want the bigger job.
387
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,200
We'd love to that Bentley
that Dean's got,
388
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,600
so we want him to be happy,
but we don't want it going back
389
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,360
looking like a patchwork quilt.
390
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,560
Just a bit worried now
that this Land Rover
391
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,040
is meant to be a quick
in and out job,
392
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,600
so I need to check Dad's log book,
wherever that's gone,
393
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
and make sure we're not overrunning.
394
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,160
The bulkhead is a different colour
to the bonnet.
395
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840
The wing looks darker on the side
than what it is as the top.
396
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Oh, look. Buried.
397
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,280
I think the best is to just aim
398
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,080
for what's got
the most colour on it,
399
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,720
paint the top of the wing,
paint that, paint that,
400
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,400
paint that, blend it in, paint that
and it's all the same colour.
401
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,240
There's no hours apart
from one, he's put five hours.
402
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,080
We need to have another
little chat, I think.
403
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,680
And this is where the father-son
relationship goes downhill.
404
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,640
This is alchemy.
405
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,080
We're going to produce
pure green in a minute.
406
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,840
Dad? Hours on the Landy.
407
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Where are we up to with it now then?
408
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,800
Just have a quick look.
409
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,640
I'm worried 'cause it looks
like nothing is being done to it
410
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,720
and there's 15 hours
charged out already.
411
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,360
The trouble is, somebody's put that
door on it, it don't fit, does it?
412
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,440
So I've had to take it to bits,
put it back on, adjust everything,
413
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,920
move everything,
but that's the hours.
414
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,720
How long have you had on that,
mixing paint?
415
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,120
The actual of mixing paint
is 20 minutes.
416
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,760
But I mean actually working
out the colour.
417
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,000
But to get to that is three hours.
418
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,240
The problem is can you charge
in three hours?
419
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,760
The only thing that worries me
a little bit
420
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,080
is Dean specified he doesn't want
this to be a big job
421
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,440
so I don't want to be having loads
of hours
422
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,360
and then sending it back
with a massive bill.
423
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,400
I think what you got to do
is just take it on the chin,
424
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,960
don't bill him the hours
sorting the colour of the paint out.
425
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,600
And look for future business.
426
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,880
You'll get it back in the future.
Make sure you log every hour.
427
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,120
OK, I'll see you in a bit.
428
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,200
If you started charging
for every single hour,
429
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,000
you know, we're charging
for a phone call,
430
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,680
charging for everything,
431
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,360
then people think you're
taking the mickey out of them.
432
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,360
They don't understand
the amount of work that goes in
433
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,320
because it's a bit
like the Land Rover.
434
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,840
If I'd have rushed in to try
and get the paint mixed for that,
435
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960
and mixed it wrong,
what do you end up doing?
436
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,760
You send the car back
as the wrong colour.
437
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440
Worst thing you could ever do,
so it's better for us
438
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,200
to absorb the cost and make sure
the job is done properly,
439
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,120
and that's what I've always done.
440
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,760
Hours we don't charge on a small job
like the Land Rover
441
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,320
could mean losing
a few hundred pounds.
442
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,160
On a big restoration like
we're hoping to do on the Alvis,
443
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,120
unbilled hours
could run into thousands.
444
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,920
h ho! I love it already.
445
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Look at this.
That don't look too bad.
446
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,000
Yeah, the old silver eagle mascot.
447
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Alvis mascot silver eagle.
448
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,880
It's got that old car smell,
hasn't it?
449
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,680
This would have been cutting-edge
technology back in the day.
450
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,080
That would be your trafficators.
451
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,520
I think I might be thinking
of turning left today.
452
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,960
There we go.
453
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,320
Suicide door.
454
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,480
That's exciting.
455
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,160
Suicide door opens this way.
456
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,280
I love them.
457
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:04,840
Unless it comes open when you're
going along, then it's bad.
458
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,800
Do we know if he wants us
to do anything to the trim?
459
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,000
We're gonna have a look
and the guys are gonna give us
460
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600
an idea of what scale of job
it's gonna be.
461
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,400
I think, actually, this could be
turned around pretty quickly
462
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,680
into something quite nice.
463
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,360
So that's exciting.
464
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Also exciting,
very exciting actually,
465
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,360
we have our apprentice
arriving today,
466
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,600
and that's been central
to the whole dream of this.
467
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,560
The reason I want to do something
in classic cars is,
468
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,120
as an industry, it is based
on people and skills.
469
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,760
That's the heart of it,
470
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,600
so I've always wanted us
to have apprentices come in,
471
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,160
so we're trying one out today.
472
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,880
Good to see you.
Yeah, not bad. You?
473
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,960
Morning. Anthony, how are you?
474
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,640
So, this is our apprentice.
Yes.
475
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,560
So what are you apprenticing in?
476
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,440
It's all mechanical,
so it's all mechanical classics,
477
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,720
restorations.
So the oily bits?
478
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,880
Yeah. Messy, dirty hands bits. Yeah.
479
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,200
I'm here for a trial period
of a couple of days,
480
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,000
just to gain a bit
of experience for...
481
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,320
Well, personally, for me,
482
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,040
and see if the garage wants an
apprentice.
483
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,120
'Cause it's quite a big thing
to take on as an apprentice.
484
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,720
There's a lot of work involved.
485
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,000
It's going to be really exciting.
486
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,960
Really exciting to see that start.
487
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,400
This is our little prep room.
488
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,440
And at that age,
I would have been just all over this.
489
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,640
I'd have loved it.
490
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,960
OK, you have a go now.
491
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,240
Trying to follow the shape of the...
492
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,360
That's it.
493
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,400
We've got to be realistic
about how this works.
494
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,520
The apprentice is not joining us
straightaway full-time.
495
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,040
We're sort of trying one out.
496
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,560
Quick as you can,
497
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,120
and just go...
498
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,200
That's easier said than done.
499
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,560
I know, you've got it.
500
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,280
I've always wanted
to have a good apprentice
501
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:42,400
who wants to learn bodywork,
502
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,800
because it's such a very,
very skilful thing to learn.
503
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Very time-consuming,
504
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600
but it's a skill
that I really would like to pass on
505
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,680
to somebody else.
506
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,040
And that's as good as I would do it.
507
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,000
I'm very happy with that.
That's very good.
508
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Michael, the owner of the Alvis
is coming in
509
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,560
to discuss our estimate for the job.
510
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,360
It's a big moment
for The Smallest Cog.
511
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,880
If he agrees to the price,
512
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600
it will be our first
full restoration.
513
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,480
Anthony!
514
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Time to have a look at the car
and make a plan.
515
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,160
Come on in, don't trip over anything.
Fall over anything?
516
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,240
It'll be health hazard
and I'll have to fill in forms.
517
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Here it is.
518
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,000
Now, we've all stood around
519
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,720
and the chaps have poured
their various expertise on it.
520
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720
And come up with I think...
521
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Do I need to sit down?
522
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,800
We can sit down later.
523
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,000
In my luxuriously appointed,
not-finished office.
524
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Terrific.
525
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,000
So purely for body,
back up to scratch,
526
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,240
assuming there are no horror stories,
where do you reckon that will be?
527
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,080
Well, we've looked at it,
with two people on it,
528
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,280
10 days to strip it down
to a totally bare shell.
529
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:49,360
Get it to paint stage,
you know, 10 days with two people.
530
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440
From my side of it, mechanically,
I'd want five days,
531
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,160
so in total 18,400 plus VAT.
532
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,920
But, obviously,
533
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,200
because you've been a customer
of mine and dad's for so long,
534
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,120
we'll give you 20% discount on that.
535
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,320
So it takes it down
then to a figure of 15,664.
536
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,840
OK.
Sounds good. OK.
537
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,040
Sounds like barnstorming
up the alps next year.
538
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(LAUGHING)
539
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,480
When I was at my old garage,
it would have taken me six months.
540
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Yeah.
541
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Or a lot more to do it,
542
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,200
because you'd be stopping,
doing a bit, stopping, doing a bit.
543
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,600
And the whole point of this place
is to not do that,
544
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,720
it's to say, let's get on with it.
545
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Is there a padlock on the kettle?
546
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,600
No.
(LAUGHING)

00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,440
There would be nobody at work
if there was.

Right, I'm making tea,
how'd you like it?
549
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,160
A splash of milk.
550
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,800
What they've told me so far,
it hasn't completely terrified me.
551
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,080
I think it's a job.

It was Neil's birthday
the other day.
556
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,600
And his lifelong dream
has been to fly in a Spitfire.
557
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,080
And his family have sorted it
for him as a birthday present.

Put it this way,
he cried when they told him
559
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,080
that was what he was gonna do today.
560
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,240
Have you ever seen a machine
that looks more alive
561
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,200
even when it's just sitting there
still?

What a beautiful, beautiful thing.
563
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:22,800
It's a bit different
to my airfix model when I was a kid.
564

But, the thing is,
if it wasn't for you,
565

I would be with here, would I?
Well exactly.

To be honest,
569
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,600
just to look around this
is a day out for me.
570
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,720
To actually go into the thing
and go for a fly
571
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,920
is just unbelievable.
572
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,320
Because my wife is disabled
573
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,600
and she's struggled with MS
for years,
574
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,800
she knows that I would never,
ever spend the money to do this.
575
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Because I know that something
medical is going to happen.
576
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,000
She's an inspiration
because she never moans,

..is he going to come back down

took me to the edge of heaven

00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,720
and bought me back safe.

It's also our apprentice Ed's
last day.

There you go mate.
Put that on first.

Cheers. Thank you.
631
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,440
Ed's helped prepare the car,
632
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,600
but it's way too important a job
for him to have his first try
633
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,440
actually applying paint.
634
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,160
We've got Dean's Land Rover in,
635
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,680
so as much as I'd love
to let Ed have a go on it,
636
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,800
we can't take the risk,
637
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,080
but I can let him have a go
on a spare panel
638
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,520
and just, you know,
see if he gets a feel for it.
639
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,760
Right, so what you want to do,
is be in the middle like that,
640
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,360
so get in the middle like that.
641
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,680
Just gently go across the panel
from the far end.
642
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,680
That process going on in there,
643
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,280
passing the skills
from that older man
644
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800
to the younger bloke.
645
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,880
That's what needs to happen
in this industry and others,
646
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,400
its absolutely key, isn't it?
647
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,000
If that doesn't happen,
648
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,800
you can have all the fancy ovens
in the world,
649
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,760
but you wouldn't have anybody
that knows how to use it.
650
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,960
He's actually doing really well now,
651
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,760
because he's listening
to what I'm telling him.
652
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,200
I reckon he's done a good job.
653
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,120
Well done.
Thank you.
654
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
The good thing about that
is we can see ourselves in there.
655
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,000
There's so much of a reflection,
you can wave at yourself.
656
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,920
I wonder if Neil
can actually talk him to death.
657
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,680
Oh, he's actually painting now.
658
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,760
Neil just apparently walks in
and waves the gun about
659
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,680
and then it's all covered evenly
in paint.
660
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,920
It's not easy.
661
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,800
Now coming over there,
following the curve round.
662
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,760
Oh, he's getting the full treatment
from Neil there.
663
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,000
We're not trying to get it
like a sheet of glass,
664
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,880
we're just getting it shiny
and all the same colour.
665
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,680
The master returns with pupil.
666
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,280
So, how's that?
667
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Really enjoyed it, to be honest.
668
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,240
I think I learnt a lot, as well,
which is the main thing.
669
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,800
Has it taken into different areas
from what you've normally done?
670
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,080
Yeah, definitely.
671
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,320
It's sort of widened my search
of what I want to do when I'm older.
672
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,160
Well in that case,
it's worked in both directions.
673
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Yeah.
674
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Well, I hope you've enjoyed it,
and we hope to see again.
675
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,720
Yeah, I want to come back,
to be honest.
676
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,200
Well it would be great
to have you back.
677
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,960
You're more than welcome,
and it's something,
678
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,160
I think we will formalise
an apprenticeship programme here,
679
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,240
we will do that.
680
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840
I feel all good and wholesome,
we're educating a new generation.
681
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,040
Right, preening and polishing.
682
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,320
It's almost like getting ready
for a dog show, isn't it?
683
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,560
Except it's a car.
684
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,640
I have here, an invoice.
685
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,920
It's a proper one and everything.
686
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Bargain.
687
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,880
Something going on
inside the window, look.
688
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,560
Inside is it?
It's been cleaned, hasn't it?
689
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Have you been licking in there
again?
690
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Hey?
Give me the cloth.
691
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,080
I'll do all the work.
692
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,760
Do you want a bit of glass cleaner?
Here you go, Dean, I did it for you.
693
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:19,840
There.
694
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,640
You haven't done a bad job there.
Fair play.
695
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,560
Best bit of the car, that.
He'll be pleased.
696
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Right, we have got to hope
that he is pleased.
697
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,520
We've addressed everything.
Yep.
698
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,800
Have a good look round it,
699
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,480
see if there's anything
you don't like.
700
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,440
But what am I going to...
It's a bit late isn't it.
701
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,880
Just have a look.
The only problem is,
702
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,200
I haven't got a covered trailer,
so it's going to get rained on.
703
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,360
Let's get it gone.
Yeah.
704
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,720
Let's get some money in the bank.
705
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,800
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
706
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,760
This is always the thing
when you hand a car back,
707
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,360
you can never judge
what the owner's going to be like.
708
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,120
You know, you've done the best
you can,
709
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,560
and made it really good,
710
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,280
and as far as I'm concerned,
done a really good job.
711
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,720
But it's never complete
712
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
until that bloke looks at it
and says, "I'm happy with that".
713
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Right.
714
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,280
Neil, what's your one tip
for when we're handing over a car
715
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,400
back to its owner?
716
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,880
Just be courteous.
Courteous.
717
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,840
OK.
718
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,360
No going back now.
719
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,160
Mostly because I'm not reversing
between those gates.
720
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,240
(LAUGHING)
721
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,880
Little old Land Rover's
wagging her tail,
722
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,240
she's happy to be home.
723
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,240
Or was that your driving?
That's my diving.
724
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Right.
725
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Where is the man himself?
Here is the man himself.
726
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,840
Hello Dean.
Hello.
727
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,480
How are you today?
728
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,520
I did get a little bit
of sunshine out for you.
729
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,840
OK, thank you, that's very kind.
730
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,920
I thought, you know,
731
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,720
if we have a little bit of sunshine,
it's more favourable.
732
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Yes.
733
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,240
To looking
at the fantastic piece of work
734
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,800
that you're bringing back.
735
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,160
You haven't seen it yet.
736
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Well, here it is.
737
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,160
The door was a big issue.
738
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,040
It was indeed, I remember.
739
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,440
It now fits.
740
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,440
Oh, I can see that.
It's lovely and flush.
741
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,080
Flusher than it was
when it left the factory.
742
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,160
Let me just try.
743
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Yes.
744
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,040
Ah, perfect.
745
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,280
The main feat
was to get the colour right.
746
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,520
There was about sort of,
four different colours
747
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,160
of this vehicle, so we picked,
sort of, majority colour.
748
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,240
Yes.
749
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,600
And we had this paint scanned
with this new paint system we've got
750
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,240
and it matched it perfectly.
751
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,080
He has actually blended the paint
across panels
752
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,200
so that it does all fit together
and look like one car.
753
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,600
I like the finish now.
754
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,800
It's smoother. It looks smoother.
Yeah.
755
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,640
That is absolutely how I wanted it.
756
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,480
Just what your front right wheel
is a bit far off...
757
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,000
Now is not the time
to make a mistake.
758
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,160
Now left.
Get her left, Neil.
759
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,960
I mean it's Land Rover, to be fair,
you could just drive it off.
760
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,400
That's it. You're good.
761
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,960
Right, I've got one of these for you.
Yes.
762
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,920
Thank you.
You may have that.
763
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,720
It's fair and sensible
for what we did
764
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,520
but I haven't been...
We've been realistic.
765
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,040
That's what...
766
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,680
I will take care of it,
thank you very much.
767
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,760
You've done it to my expectations,
768
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,640
and that is a great steppingstone,
769
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:18,640
if you remember what
we were originally talking about.
770
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:20,800
Oh yes.
This is a milestone.
771
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,880
Thank you very much,
772
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,360
and we'll keep working
towards it,
773
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,720
one day we'll land that big fish.
(LAUGHING)
774
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Let me enjoy this for a little while
and we'll see how we go.
775
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,480
My little baby.
776
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Wonderful.
777
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,400
I reckon he was pleased,
it was genuine.
778
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,520
He liked the job.
779
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,760
I deliberately didn't want to
outline what my budget was
780
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,760
because I didn't want
any expectations to be created
781
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,600
until they've actually
done the work.
782
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,920
I look at this invoice now
and I say, this is fair
783
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,400
and I'm happy to pay it.
784
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,200
You haven't given him
the long drive syndrome.
785
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,200
The longer the drive the longer...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
786
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,000
You just priced him
to what the job is,
787
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,160
not what he's worth.
788
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,240
And all we got to do
789
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,640
is hope that he lives with it
for a little bit, enjoys it,
790
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,800
and one day, rings us,
791
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:13,120
and says I've got this unique Bentley
that needs a full restore.
792
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Right, small dog.
793
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,760
First, catch your dog.
794
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,840
And voila, right.
795
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,960
Hey, come on.
796
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,520
So how are things then
at the workshop?
797
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,960
Well, you know Dean?
798
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600
Yeah.
His Bentley, he's got this...
799
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600
Oh, that very, very rare Bentley?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, one of only two.
800
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,560
That's a possibility.
Oh, that's...
801
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,400
Also, coming up is a Goodwood Revival
which is,
802
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,120
that's the one
where everyone dresses up in costumes
803
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,160
and there's all the old cars.
Yeah, yeah I know the name.
804
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:55,680
I thought if I take the guys to that
as like a day out,
805
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,280
Neil's always wanted to go.
Ah, that's a very cool idea.
806
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,360
Also I've arranged a little surprise
807
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,880
because the XK150 that they did,
I've had it shipped there.
808
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,840
So that we can wander around
and they'll see their car
809
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,360
with all these magnificent...
You're not telling them it's going?
810
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,040
No.
Oh, that's cute.
811
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,280
It's just a thank you really,
812
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,840
because we all worry
that I'm gonna derail their careers
813
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,160
and ruin them.
But I do think about them.
814
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:20,480
I think it's really lovely
815
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,080
that attention has been drawn
to them
816
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,840
because I mean,
they are really, really good
817
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:24,920
at what they do.
818
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,200
Yeah, that's one of the things
I wanted to do with the workshop
819
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,360
is build them something
that was worthy
820
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,080
of their level of skill.
Yeah.
821
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,400
And if we get that Bentley job in,
that will get a lot of attention.
822
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,200
And people will say, "Who did that?"
823
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,680
And we can say, "They did".
824
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,560
So, how much work
is actually booked in now?
825
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,320
Well, some.
826
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,840
Is it sort of going to break even?
827
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,960
I'm going to be honest, not yet.
828
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,160
But presumably,
there is a business plan.
829
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:54,760
Yes, there is.
830
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,720
Well you're sort of quite vague
about it.
831
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,560
It's not a magic spell.
832
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,600
It's trying to...
Well, I have to...
833
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,360
..earn more than I spend.
834
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,080
You have to sort of
not spend the money
835
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,240
until you've earned it.
836
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,120
If I were to just grow at the rate
at which money is coming in
837
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,440
and the spare cash,
it would take 10 years.
838
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,440
I haven't got 10 years
to try and get the point
839
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,880
where that is a valuable,
functioning good business.
840
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,320
I need to push the pace of it.
841
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,400
Which is why I've had to
put in more money
842
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,600
than is bought in,
by quite a long way.
843
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,880
And that will keep happening.
844
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,360
OK.
845
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,160
What if I turned out to be quite good
at running a business?
846
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:29,480
That would be great.
847
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,440
She has no faith in me.
848
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,040
I'm going to write a book
about business
849
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,720
and you'll be able to buy it

853
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,880
Hello.
Good afternoon.
854
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,120
Anybody home?
Hello, Dean, how are you.
855
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,360
There you are, good to see you.
856
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,480
Welcome to our little abode
once again, how are you?
857
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,720
Yeah, very good indeed.
858
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,560
To what do we owe this pleasure?
859
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,520
I thought I'd bring something
to show you.
860
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,800
Right?
Would you like to have a look?
861
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,920
Yes.
Please, come with me.
862
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,680
I recognise that,
I know what that car is.
863
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,520
Please come over here, gentlemen.
864
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,000
This is the moment in time.
865
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,680
You now have the responsibility

00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,720
of the R type,
the Bentley Mulliner.
867
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,760
The ultimate restoration.
868
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,160
This is one of only two in the world.
869
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,600
Exactly.
870
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,760
So what do you think?
871
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,040
A joyous, terrifying moment.
872
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,120
(LAUGHING)
873
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
That is a big, big car.
874
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,960
It is the biggest one.
We're gonna need a bigger garage.
875
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,160
(LAUGHING)
Oh, god. No, it will go in there.
876
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:53,240
This is the jaws moment.
877
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,960
I had to think about it really hard
878
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,200
at the end, you convinced me.
879
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,600
I'm glad we convinced you.
880
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,080
You're going to get it done
and with absolute professionality.
881
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,320
I can't tell you
how much I want to get off there
882
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,160
and have a look at it.
883
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,200
Well that is exactly what we wanted
to get.
884
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Where the guys get to work on
something really special.
885
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Take it all the way.
886
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,360
And show off what they can do
to the nth degree.
887
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,280
That's going to keep them busy
for a while, that.
888
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,640
Steering wheel's split there.
889
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,520
Whether it still works or not,
we don't know.
890
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,360
Need to have a good,
good look at it.
891
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,360
This is a really important car
because there's only two,
892
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,720
so when they went this one rolls up
to an event,
893
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,240
everybody's going to want to see it,
894
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,600
everybody's gonna want to know
who did it, and it was us.
895
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,440
A car like that puts you on the map.
896
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,160
I would say they won't have seen
another one.
897
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,960
And even if you have,
that one will be better.
898
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,360
This is a stately home on wheels
899
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,520
and I had no idea at all,
900
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,600
that he was going to turn up
with this today.
901
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,000
It's just made my day.
902
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,200
That's the final piece
903
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,000
in this huge, complicated
jigsaw puzzle.
904
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,200
It's exactly what I wanted.
905
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,600
A customer like that,
with a car like that,
906
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,960
walking into our workshop
to say, "There you go,
907
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,280
"fill your boots."
908
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,320
Landing the Bentley R type
is a massive coup,
909
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,440
but the truth is,
910
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,440
our fledgling restoration company
still has a long way to go.
911
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,160

I reckon we've earned ourselves
a works outing.
914
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,720
I bet we look dead tough
and menacing.

get everything from today
that we can.

Today is a day out for us all,
918
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,840
it really is a treat for the lads,
for all of us.
919
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,200
We've worked really hard
to get the business to where it is
920
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,120
and we are celebrating that
by coming here.
921
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,600
Look at my guys, look at them.
922
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,000
They look like Peaky Blinders
meets the Ant Hill Mob.
923
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,880
Alpha. Maserati.
924
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,880
Oh, look at this.
(GASPS OF ADMIRATION)
925
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,360
That's Stirling Moss's car,
isn't it?
926
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,160
Imagine giving that a beam.
Yeah, imagine being able to.
927
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,200
This is like car heaven,
really, isn't it?
928
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,200
The smell, the sound,
the atmosphere.
929
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,600
It's actually mind blowing.
930
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,280
This paddock area is a showcase
931
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,200
for some of the most beautiful
and important classic cars
932
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,520
in the world.
933
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,920
And Monty.
934
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,160
My Jaguar XK150.
935
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:22,400
The first car Neil and Anthony
fully restored for me.
936
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,800
Oh there, look there's Monty.
Oh, there you are.
937
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,840
In the paddock
with all the Ferraris.
938
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,360
That is really like wow.
That's our little jag.
939
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,360
Seeing it in Goodwood,
in the paddock,
940
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,360
with all these Ferraris
and she's holding her own.
941
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,560
Unbelievable.
942
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,920
This car started it in a lot of ways
943
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,080
and largely
because it was the first time
944
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,640
I really realised how good
you guys were.
945
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:46,760
It's when this part had rotted out,
and your dad bought me into workshop,
946
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,000
and I thought he was going to say
"Forget it, it's ruined."
947
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,800
You can't buy that as a panel,
so what you gonna do? Make it.
948
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,040
He got a piece of metal,
and with them 15 minutes,
949
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,000
returns that whole piece, doink.
950
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,160
And then he threw it away,
951
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:00,240
and said, "I've rushed that one,
I'll do a the proper one."
952
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,160
You're good at that.
Exactly.
953
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:03,840
Look at this.
954
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:07,480
She's sharing a stable with Monty,
that Ferrari.
955
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,160
And she's looking good, isn't she.
956
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:12,080
She looks like somebody's
just gonna fire up and go for a lap.
957
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,560
To be honest it's quite emotional.
958
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,800
It's really like, yeah.
959
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,080
Rather pleased about that.
960
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,360
It's kind of circular.
961
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,320
I want to see some cars
going real fast.
962
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,760
I want to season cars.
Yes.
963
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,240
Where do we go?
964
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,720
How you doing?
Very well indeed.
965
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,960
Welcome to the drivers club.
Thank you very much, indeed.
966
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,080
That will do.
967
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,000
We're at Goodwood.
968
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,080
(LAUGHING)
969
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,360
It's just dawned on me, man.
970
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,800
How many times
have we watched this on TV?
971
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,960
I think this feels
like a just reward, this day out.
972
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,080
We've built our work shop,
973
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,000
and this is the world
we built it to be a part of,
974
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,080
and now we're part of it.
975
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,800
What's amazed me, is how quickly
the whole enterprise has gone
976
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,920
from being, "Hey it's me,
that bloke off the telly,
977
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,240
"that's a bit annoying
and crashes a lot."
978
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,600
To people actually listening to us
and saying "Yeah,
979
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,480
"no, that's a proper business,
"they're real."
980
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,920
We'll take our cars to them.
981
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,280
I like that one there.
982
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,840
I want to go.
983
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,440
I've worked with dad for 17 years.
984
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,000
And now, his work's actually
being appreciated by people
985
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,320
and I'm proud of him.
I'm so proud of what he can do.
986
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,960
It turned my world, sort of,
upside down.
987
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,920
You could say Richard Hammond
is my knight in shining armour.
988
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
A short knight in shining armour,
but he is.
989
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,760
I always thought,
they're amazing blokes.
990
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:29,840
And this is their jobs,
991
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,360
their livelihoods,
I'm messing about.
992
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,800
And if that had not worked,
993
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,760
well, I would never
have forgiven myself.
994
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Well, do you know what, chaps?
995
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:41,960
It's cheesy,
but I'm going to say it, cheers.
996
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,400
And here's to the future.
997
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,480
EVERYONE: Cheers.
And the past.
