Pretending to know cars - Assisting at a Prestigious car auction
are you ready after spending the best part of a month signing field waiting for the rules to change the lock down once again ease to the point i could get out again and fully enough the first port of call was back to unbelief to go and see jess he needed a hand on a few things and i had to go and check up on a new project more than anything it was just to have a bit of a beer and a catch-up weird waking up here again it was strange how much things had changed but the original campfire and rocket stove still remain if not now looking a little bit weathered after spending the night you know because beer we woke up and went for a morning trip down memory lane back on the original dog walk man is it strange to be walking back here this is my morning and evening routine right here walking around this field officially today last night and now this morning was when we arrived a year ago one year since i'm released exactly here in the dip was where the van tour was done a little bit further up from that was the last hole of the golf course which is all now gone it's nice to come back see jazz we had a good tipple last night and uh had the fire on and as per i forgot to get the camera out for the majority i think at the same time i just i wanted a bit of a catch up with with chairs um you know it wasn't about making a video coming here um just wanted to see how he's getting on i think today he's going to be taking me to an auction uh one of the car auctions so um give man with that makes a bit of a difference to my usual routine of sitting in a field yeah last night was good fun but it did have a sort of certain thing missing because you know two of the makeup of vampires aren't here the two mates are the other side of um europe but you know won't be long i'm sure we'll be seeing them i recorded quite a bit more with the dog walk and some of the morning but um for reasons that will be explained a little bit later on in the video i had to delete it all so we're just going to skip straight to jumping into jazzy's military wolf and heading to the car auction just had two vehicles registered in this auction a classic mini clubman and a triumph tr7 so we're going to go and check up on them make sure they're all right and still shiny and now it was just it seems to go perv of which there was plenty to perv upon so so oh i don't know where to look first off i'll take you down to where the mini and the trl yeah show you those and then we'll kind of group up somewhere and have a meet yeah sounds good well that was the basic plan but i just kept getting sidetracked and ended up all over the place oh wow that's interesting in there i feel i've seen this somewhere anyway getting sidetracked oh i like the interior think i've ever seen one of these cars you must have done no 14 000 no jesus was it just got left in a shed more or less yeah but it came out every year did about 10 miles a year yeah mot and back wow so it was looked after them it wasn't just uh left you want to push them in oh yeah that's cool it was a new rocket cover last time around with the important stickers on it yeah all proper yep all the anoraks will be like looking out for in there all over that i mean it looked good in the unit but yeah i've got two aren't you yeah god is this a cougar no falcon okay so casually mr beans ford falcon and a studebaker and a mustang and a mustang and a cortina i've never seen a studebaker in my life no way no it drove it here i would like i love put the camera around it and then it just comes to the name of his life they deal with him quite a lot yeah as they do there's a touring car style fema early one down there yeah uh that's belongs to jk mental yeah with him as well this is gorgeous lovely isn't it yeah it's the thing i'll go from one car i'm like oh and i drop over there somewhere oh yeah yeah we're too much my dad's got one of these the 280 or is it three three hundred yeah never understood with the 300 why they added this possibly the most badass jig ever and parked up next to that was something right up my street something fresh out of a 1930s mafia film and because this was an auction and not a museum you could touch them and even get in them what's up plaque say that's the coach builder harry and when my mate gary gets here is my contact with this place so i'll grab some keys and have a look around there's a lot of stuff in there big lumps of metal that i need to look at but if you want to have a wander around yeah yeah absolutely oh look at this little stubby face it's like a bulldog yeah it is oh that's cute over there yeah i had to come and have a quick because it's aired out right now isn't it yeah i mean i love it but look at that what they just look so good when they're plowing down the road oh they do but yes to the to the expensive side keep getting sidetracked though yeah so i've never seen one of these i've never seen one never ever it's got a lovely little face it's bmw 700 nice it's so cute look how small it is that is lower than a mini although the miles in his hands were on track yeah it's just it's nice to see because you're being used for something yeah you got two mustangs three mustangs two and a two forty zero is it my god 22 26 even in this form yeah i mean it's had something i had to look at it's had a crash isn't it yeah sort of exactly if you look at the driver's side wing as well except some really [ __ ] welding really really bad yeah i've accepted that you know it's an old completely 911 to work on it that's cheap true yeah very true but this isn't going cheap poor old girl i bloody love these there's just some about them i know well i've been told they're not actually the best cars but just to just have that satiny garage there is one over there though this one's making my my heart weep a little bit as it is needs rescuing it does and it has completed so all the little flaps and stuff for like keeping sand out yeah stuff you just don't think about it like that would get so clogged up look at the bar on the front very happy chappie it's a very happy chappie not on the gt i think he's just drank a lot of bluish milk and he's probably chuffed with himself it's the proper point of almost british voice and green yeah northern white and then the old english white whales yeah perfect that's gone sideways a few times yeah there's not a lot of chicken strips oh yes incredibly rare like more more more rare than probably a lot of stuff here and i'll tell you for one i'm gonna dip my bread here because i think i know what it is it's only saying 308 gtp but that's just grand tour of berlinetta so it's the fiberglass body version okay there's lighter this was the first introduction of the 308 and they were called the vetrostina which is fiberglass and the quality of the workmanship went into these is 100 better than the ones i followed the interiors are all finished so beautifully and of course these are lighter the response times are phenomenal it turns in like it's on you know on rails um and if you look at the way the interior is finished oh wow yeah i can see i mean the little like trims and all sorts and the traditional chrome gate around the gear lever yeah and then the patterns on the seats oh the piping well that window's open i'm not going to attempt to open that door yeah that's very nice that i mean isn't it a gorgeous thing it's just incredible this is the days when all the coach builders in london were individual companies yeah so i don't know who this is it's either hooper or park ward or molina or somebody and they will get the chassis and then they'll do that they'll build the body onto it it's just incredible have you seen the wrench the days before audi things that look out like the wheel discs yeah they're similar to the yeah yeah there's quite a few little hints isn't there and at the same time i'd have never guessed it amazing yeah even that i thought there's something audi about it there is there is yeah it's very subliminal but it's there that bonnie speaking it's serious yeah i remember the area where they fit these even today in the factory he's like the most guarded the guy that has to fit their stickers yeah everybody wanted one can't say i'd have a new one having known how they're built but i think the graphite with the oxford and it's just oh quite special that one as well i was always more of a fan of the hardtop it's the only other way around really i appreciate i just i'm not sure about the rear door where it's that because it's got a flat end okay i've always thought yeah it's like the riddle the weight going sideways i've never seen it you know being as common as muck i don't get to be around cars let it soften i'm not sure about that laughs away clem shows up like that okay yeah it's one of the minute you don't want to touch them for too long yeah so i mean back in the day a 600 twin cam engine is quite enough to propel you down the road yeah it's just such a classic front end it is it's just i mean three massive su carbs oh god yeah oh those dashboards they are huge yeah one and a half more than three quarters so if you're sucking from three one and a quarter inch yes you are and then you got that classic like raspy yeah yeah throaty drive yeah i mean and you're gonna and the air box is right underneath it here so the driver's gonna get it straight in the face yeah i forgot this is called the silly list i was not expecting that now when you come that roof rack is exactly the same roof rack i had on my mini really yeah no that's i mean you don't want to drive it front into a wall deer you don't know like you go into a parking space forward and you get it correct because there's no reverse is that right i believe so but you know the seats take the same material as a british rail train from the 1980s so that's good yeah yeah and that's a bit of unanimous carpet on the rear parcel shelf yeah there's not a lot going on here is there no no this isn't the air intake for the engine comes up that bit of pipe into there and then to the engines amazing i think it is just a pretty high novelty battery but further the most um oh my god well done well done there you go oh my god i mean i'm not tall no and you're quite slight well you've got the chance of getting back out there so i've made a bit of a blunder and i've only bought one sd card so now i'm gonna have to delete all of this morning's dog walk footage everything else because it's just not as interesting as this do it yeah delete the dog walk it's a lot of crap these two this is where i'm at when it comes to oh it's got the it's got the color combo and everything look right yeah the graphite with the octopus oh that's the one how much 70 to 80k i can oh just look at it it's stunning it's just stuff like that little wood finishes not everywhere just enough and then of course i think i had a model of this as well when i was a kid hardtop though because this is am i right anything in the hot tub up there yeah there's a tough call between the two you have the hardtop with the ghoul wing would you have the soft top really yeah ah it's like an evolution it is accelerating the middle i think so it's the break on the right oh my god that must be a real mind the experience can you see where the temperature gauge is oh wow no way really it is looking nice yeah proper they're bigger than i thought i thought they were tiny little things yeah great i thought they were working in that design exercise done by jaguar okay um but it's actually done by a company called lynx and it was called the lynx event yeah and the study kind of failed i think they did horrific it just didn't take off we wouldn't want to replace that oh yeah yeah that's really that's quite odd-looking isn't it i personally i think it's beautiful it reminds me of something and i can't put my finger on it i want to say the volvo p1800bs remember the old swedish state yeah yeah that's um yeah because the whole thing is still in keeping with the look but then it's always some alpha this is what used to chase all the minis around in the italian job yeah yes i mean you just know this thing's been in mid-air numerous times proper i like how there's now no stickers on it it's like ready for the road it's really nice here we've still got the um land rover dash then yeah and the manual rather than sequential because other than that is probably not a lot original left is there and that's how it's better yeah i love that that is so cool yeah how did i not even spot that porsche powered i'm gonna say see what's behind i don't know that now that looks like an original i think it's a two liter oh is it yeah but it's not i've got porsche minutes 52 left oh my god oh hello there's a bit of door there ah it's hard in it because the americans aren't renowned for build quality but they know how to build yeah what looks good another car i don't think i've ever been in the presence of you always see him on tv brand kind of territory knowing it i think yeah oh this lovely it's really nicely done it doesn't even look aged oh this is lovely it's so big absolutely huge yeah it's had a really nice quality job done in here and it smells good i guess that's the trick of the trade don't it make it smell good yeah later on we headed over to the daimler and jag area where jazz had got a few keys to the few of the cars he was interested in we went through them all checked over them made sure they started checked over common fault it was really interesting actually and i learned a lot as jazz really knows his stuff about all kinds of cars there was a lot of them lined up here all in varying conditions some just like they'd come out of the showroom others like that fell out of a barn but one of these jazz was hoping to take home but unfortunately i couldn't show you any of this because i ran out of memory see you next time this is gonna for sale soon just asked if i could take a look at it and obviously considering we lived here for what two months at least i could do really me right so this trailer project i keep talking about here it is you can use it for like pizza delivery just look into a field with an orange light it's a beacon for pizza perfect you
