Bangers & Cash

Dave travels to Wales to bag a Sierra Cosworth, a sought‑after car in the bidding market in the region. His father Derek, meanwhile, obtains a more sedate 1926 Standard Tourer, a quirky little motor, and both are keen on classic British automobiles.

The programme is a single episode that follows two members of the same family as they each set out to acquire a distinct automobile. It presents a light‑hearted look at the lengths people will go to when hunting for a particular set of wheels, framing the adventure within a concise, episodic format. In the first storyline, Dave travels to Wales with the aim of securing a Sierra Cosworth, a model that has become highly coveted on the bidding market. His journey centres on the competitive nature of the hunt and the appeal of owning a car that many collectors are eager to obtain. At the same time, his father Derek turns his attention to a very different vehicle: a 1926 Standard Tourer. Unlike Dave’s target, the Standard is described as a more sedate, quirky little motor, offering a contrast in both style and ambition. The episode juxtaposes the two pursuits, highlighting the differing motivations behind each acquisition. While Dave is drawn to the prestige and demand surrounding the Sierra Cosworth, Derek appears content with the charm and simplicity of the vintage Standard Tourer. This dual narrative provides a glimpse into how personal taste and the allure of rarity can shape the quest for a particular car, all within the compact storytelling of a single episode.
