Derek examines a neglected 1985 Renault 4 and an MGB Roadster that has been out of use for 36 years, assessing their condition before any restoration. At the same time, Jack travels to Rotherham to collect a pair of rare Bond Bug cars, adding them to the show’s lineup.

The episode is part of a programme that follows the duo as they hunt down forgotten motoring gems. In this instalment, Derek and Jack each set off on separate missions that centre on vehicles long consigned to obscurity. Derek spends his time examining an abandoned Renault 4 that dates back to 1985. He also gets his hands on an MGB Roadster that hasn’t been driven or even seen daylight for 36 years, giving him a chance to assess the condition of two classic cars that have been left untouched for decades. Meanwhile, Jack travels up to Rotherham with the aim of collecting a pair of rare Bond Bugs. The Bugs are noted for their scarcity, and Jack’s trip is focused solely on securing these unusual models for the show’s collection. By the end of the episode both men have added intriguing pieces to their automotive roster – Derek with the forgotten French hatchback and the long‑sleeping British roadster, and Jack with the elusive Bond Bugs fresh from Rotherham. Their parallel pursuits highlight the lengths the programme will go to in order to bring forgotten vehicles back into the spotlight.
