Episodes
Episode 1
Derek rubs shoulders with pop music royalty when he picks up a Morgan sports car, a World War Two ambulance arrives at Thornton le Dale and a Ford Model T needs a new home.
Derek collects a Morgan sports car that belongs to singer and guitarist Joe Brown. Joe's moving on his 1982 Morgan Plus 8. It's all in a day's work for Derek, who's already had a day of hobnobbing with rock and roll royalty. On the back of his trailer is a 1979 Clenet roadster that he's just picked up from the drummer in the heavy metal band Motorhead. Back at base Chris Carter has just dropped off his wartime Austin K2 ambulance. The vehicle was used on the South Coast to transport wounded soldiers from the ships to hospital.
Also making an appearance is a 1915 Ford Model T that belongs to Ray and Tracy Knox. They're hoping that someone else will fall in love with their very original motor that's one of the most influential cars ever made. Derek's a big fan - not just of the car - but of Henry Ford's penny-pinching philosophy!

Back at Thornton le Dale a new arrival has everyone scratching their heads. It's a Toyota MR2 that's been converted to look like a Ferrari F355 GTS (pictured). Nigel Bettison-Eatch bought the motor for three grand and spent ten more doing it up as a look-a-like. The real thing would cost £100,000.??
