Season 8

Episodes

VW Golf GTi
Collecting vehicles is generally a solitary task for the Mathewson clan but Derek and Paul are off to Leeds on a rare father and son road trip to pick up a VW Cabriolet and a Lotus Elite. Some stunning cars are put through Mathewsons auctions but very few match the spectacular sight of the 1961 Facel Vega. The buyer will be driving an example of a marque chosen by A-list celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Ringo Starr and Stirling Moss. Derek is impressed by the vehicle's French style and American engineering, "You can keep your Cosworths when you get cars like this... it oozes quality". Plus, a 1925 Talbot Coupe is just as impressive - and is expected to buck the trend that has seen pre-World War Two cars struggling to make good money.

Jaguar Challenger
In the Mathewsons showroom, a beautiful looking sports car has been fooling the punters and intriguing Derek. It's a Challenger E-Type - a fibreglass replica created from an E-Type mould that offers a copy-cat Jaguar experience for around a third of the price.
Meanwhile, Derek is off to the Midlands to pick up an unusual converted convertible – an MG ZB Magnette. It's a rare four-seater tourer that was the pride and joy of a prolific Staffordshire car collector who has sadly passed away.
Paul isn't straying outside Yorkshire – he's in the west of the county collecting a 1962 Singer Vogue that's been restored by a man who loves preserving old vehicles and always has numerous projects on the go.

Episode 3
Paul and Jack head to Staffordshire to pick up five vehicles from collector Rob's colossal barn, including a Mini and a Morris Minor.

Riley Falcon
Derek heads across the Pennines to Salford to pick up some hot saloons including a rare VW Jetta GTi and a Ford Sierra Cosworth. A 1935 Riley Falcon is sold only to be bought by the vendor's neighbour, and there's some detective work going on in the garage to work out what's happened to a Rover P6.

Rollo Croftmaster
Derek brings a small army of military hardware to Thornton le Dale including a Studebaker Weasel tracked vehicle and a WW2 era Willys Jeep. A dusty and long forgotten Ford Escort XR3i emerges from a barn in North Wales, and a small but perfectly formed Rollo Croftmaster tractor lands at the garage.

1924 Rover 9HP Tourer
Paul's on a mega collection spree that scoops up a cherished 1924 Rover 9, a stunning 1963 Jaguar C-Type replica, that's toured Europe and a skilfully modified MGB GT that's a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Back at base, Derek's hoping a rare Triumph Tina Scooter can be rehomed.

1954 Morgan +4 Coupe

1968 Ford Cortina
Jack is in North Yorkshire picking up a beast of a Mercedes that's had a problematic paint job. Derek waxes lyrical about a pristine Jaguar XJ8 and a Ford Model T van tests his driving skills.
