Jerrytom is in Kent, ask him who he used for valuation

if you look at the credits, Paul Brackley was his main advice, hes the one that drove the yellow mercedes van when mike needed trailering home, and was the odd workshop helper, he wasn't involved with the last series though however, if you look at the series where the workshop was based in more town than country and had the green sliding doors, and has a Torrent 500 in there, I'm led to believe, by the man that supplied that torrent, that is the back of one of Eds garages, where there were 2 sides, filming side and the other side was a proper garage full of mechanics, just what I was told, but the torrent rep had no reason to lie

it would help if we knew the model, engine size etc has it be modified (radically altered lol) then we might be able to point you in a more definitive direction for a valuation

TBH, wheeler dealers should have died ages ago, theres only so much a show can run before it gets tiresome, like Scott, no interest now its states side, for some reason, and probably due to lack of content or an alternative, regardless of what program it is, it seems that they have to flog programs to death these days clearly, wheeler dealers is no longer about the car as they tried to peddle in the NEC, its about the bean counters, and what they want, cheaper to put two English idiots states side and cut the technical content, than it is to put a production team this side of the pond but agreed with Colin, Mr B is a twat, and he has been that way for some time

Gary, don't give it up mate, your the star of the show and now you've given up smoking, the popeye bit dosnt gel quite so well reckon the look is more like Freddy Krueger, especially from behind lol (its that hat)

really, why do they own Elans then

your just trying to make me blush

lets see, the duration, we didn't see you for 3 days lol sign language, whats that ?? a middle finger lol king of the stand, I don't think so, Garys V8 and colins cosworth were far more photographed than my car but a certain crapri owner was frightened to open his bonnet for photos lol

had to have my tyres cleaned this morning tho Colin, luckily it was only the tyres that copped it, the car park you was in started to get busy, reckon I would have blocked it

you beat me to it Scott

glad to see you made it home ok Colin, I got back to the yard about 9-30, it really was a pleasure meeting you, with that gift of the gab you could become an adopted sarfie lol, likewise, glad to be home, and again from this end, a big thank you to Gary, and may he have a happy retirement from it, Stephen, Kelly whatever your name lol, hope you had a good trip back and thanks for allowing Colin and myself to slope off it was a great experience for me, and hope to see you all again

well Colins normally on here by now, so he must be sleeping ready for his morning drive, well that's what old age does to you I suppose lol

as much as I take the piss, I would rather see that on a stand, or even have that, than the twin cams that are gonna be behind us are you really driving that loverly beast there

surely you mean Cuppa or you would have said Crappa Colin

will bring one with me Stephen

probably little point in cleaning it Colin, reckon its cleaner now than it will be by the time you get to the NEC, just ready for Biff to clean it for you with a dirty rag and bottles of Evian water from the motorway services, mixed with the road gravel he dropped the rag in, to give you a few swirl marks in the paint for age authenticity

leaves plenty of time to ponder what ive forgotten Colin lol does anyone need me to bring a spare indoor cover or two to save the overnight dust formation

don't know how that works, selected a few piccys from the folder, when I pressed the save button, it uploaded the other ones as well

well, getting close now guys, today was load up day so as I can rest tomorrow

im sure we can direct you to the on site catering services, where you can buy the displaying team brunch, teas and coffees as they need and I'm sure you will find cake on at least one

what you have to bear in mind RP, in the UK, you don't own the log book or the registration no, they are effectively on loan to you from the DVLA, it is also illegal to sell a V5c (log book) without its correct shell / body, or indeed without one at all, as its not yours to sell, but unfortunately, and especially in the Escort market, the practice is rife, and I think that is what they are trying to stop here ringing is also another part of the problem

I'm presuming it hasn't been taxed or MOTd for some while, so at a minimum, its an identity check to see if the car really is what is being claimed and that it really still exists, pushing the realms further, proof its still original and not been modified the person I know with one of those letters, sent in the photos, they asked for more, still not happy, and has to present the car complete as it was produced to an independent company they nominated for inspection, his was change of ownership, previous keeper had a current V5c, but they wont issue a new one to him as the new owner, again its a resto project, bought in pieces, that now has to be assembled and inspected, again tho, they didn't know its condition, but it had been off the road some years

i know someone else who got a letter the same / similar as that

ahh, there you ate Stephen, we can all piss on it to get you water the amount of people there, most will welcome pissing on a crapri

this is the first time ive taken my car to a show, so don't know what facilities if any they have there Stephen, but part of what I do is to take peoples cars to shows in the summer months, and they have them trailered there for the very reason of keeping them clean Gary will be able to advise on what facilities they have, although where we are positioned, I think the toilets are not far away, just don't get caught trying to ram it down the pan and hoping it will flush away, although the capri is a piece of shit, its a bit too large for the average toilet on a more serious note, for emergency use, I will bring some turtle wax waterless wash and wax for you
