Bangers & Cash

Derek collects five beautiful veteran motorbikes from an enthusiast who, even in his 90s, is still happily riding them. Adding to the scene, a vividly coloured 1955 Nash Metropolitan brightens up the auction room with its cheerful hue for onlookers.

The programme follows Derek as he sets about acquiring a small but striking collection of veteran motorbikes. In this episode he manages to secure five beautifully restored machines, each representing a slice of motor‑cycling history, and the narrative centres on his quest to bring them together. The bikes come from a dedicated enthusiast who, despite being in his nineties, still enjoys riding his own classic machines. Derek’s purchase from this lively collector highlights the enduring passion that can span generations. Adding a splash of colour to the scene, a 1955 Nash Metropolitan—painted in vivid hues—makes an appearance, its bright finish instantly lifting the atmosphere of the auction room. That striking Nash, with its eye‑catching palette, serves as a visual counterpoint to the polished motorbikes, brightening the setting and underscoring the episode’s celebration of vintage transport. The combination of the seasoned rider’s story and the colourful automobile creates a memorable snapshot of heritage motoring, all wrapped up within the modest confines of the auction house.
