Bangers & Cash

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!

This week at the Mathewsons', there's a 1982 Audi Quattro and a Sunbeam Alpine. Plus, Derek takes delivery of a beautiful green Renault van, previously used as a bread van in Paris.

There's nothing that Derek likes less than collecting vehicles when it's wet - so his heart sinks when he arrives in Scotland in a torrential downpour to pick up a couple of rare cars from the 1960s, a 1968 Series II Jaguar E-type with a 4.2 litre engine and a 1969 MGC convertible.

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.??

There's a surprise waiting for Derek in Hull - it's an MGSA sports car that once had a tree growing through it.

Over in North Wales, Alan Holmes is selling his son's Ford Escort RS 1600i. Back in the 80's it was one of Britain's most sought-after cars, a favourite of boy racers across the land.

Derek picks up a rare Ford Zodiac Farnham Estate, while Dave heads for an isolated tent in the Midlands to collect a Triumph Toledo. And will anyone have the bottle to buy an electric milk float?

Derek's in his element when he collects a Ford Thames 400E that once belonged to the pop band Edison Lighthouse. While Derek relieves his youth, Dave heads to York to collect an Astra GTE convertible. Meanwhile, back at the auction, Helen Ryder is selling off a slice of her huge collection of pedal cars, chopper bikes and memorabilia.

A series of head-turning supercharged cars head for the Mathewsons' auction room. Amongst them a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a Lancia Delta Integrale. Also going under Derek's hammer is one of the first Ford Escort XR3s and a beautiful MGA which was one of the last to roll off the production line in 1961.

Derek heads out to pick up a pair of beautiful Swedish models - a Saab 96L and a Volvo P1800ES. Plus, a rare British AC Aceca comes up for sale.

An 1967 Aston Martin DB6 lands at the Mathewsons - Derek believes it could break the record for the most expensive car ever sold at the auction. Also up for grabs is an 1969 E-Type Jaguar - and a pint sized Austin that can be literally picked up for a song.

A collection of Austin Mini Metros arrive for auction. Also going under the hammer is a baby Fiat 850 coupe and a haulier offloads part of his vintage commercial vehicles collection.

There's an unlikely arrival at the North Yorkshire car auction - an Argentinian Army Mercedes G wagon that saw action in the Falklands War.

Derek has three scooters to collect, while also finding room for a Daimler and a teardrop caravan.

Derek's on his way to Blackpool to pick up what will be the highest priced item at the next auction. But, the 1970 Aston Martin DBS needs a tow to the local garage.

Over the years Derek has learnt to always expect the unexpected. So when Call the Midwife star, Cliff Parisi, drops off his Bedford CA campervan it's just another day at the office.

Derek picks up an impressive five vehicle haul from a collector who can no longer look after his motors. Paul's out on the road too - he's collecting a rare 1972 Lancia Fulvia Berlina.
