Find It, Fix It, Flog It

In Cumbria, Henry Cole and Simon O’Brien restore a classic Morris Minor, selling the finished car to generate funds for repairing the owner’s leaking roof. At the same time, they salvage unwanted timber from the site and craft it into bespoke furniture pieces.

The episode is set in the rural county of Cumbria and follows the familiar faces of Henry Cole and Simon O’Brien as they take on a hands‑on project. The programme centres on their practical skills and the way they use them to help a local resident with a pressing problem. In the first part of the story, Henry and Simon acquire a classic Morris Minor that’s in need of a thorough restoration. They work together to bring the car back to a road‑worthy condition, intending to sell it and use the proceeds to finance the repair of the owner’s leaking roof. Their effort on the vehicle provides the essential funding required to stop the water damage. The second focus of the episode sees the duo turning a pile of unwanted timber into something useful. Rather than discarding the wood, they design and build a piece of furniture, giving the material a new purpose while adding a functional item to the homeowner’s interior. By the end of the show, the combined work on the Morris Minor and the reclaimed wood demonstrates a resourceful approach to problem‑solving. Henry and Simon’s collaboration not only secures the roof’s repair but also leaves the household with a handcrafted piece of furniture, showcasing how modest resources can be transformed into practical solutions.
