I don't get it. He bought it for £1,500, had it machine polished and put four new tyres on it and now it's had £4,100 bid on it?

The power of YouTube, it will be seen as slightly ‘celebrity’ to viewers, although whether the winning bidder sees it through is another thing. On another note I’m sure I seen the usual rust bubbles on the rear sills in one of their videos so hopefully whoever buys it watches all clips of it carefully and see what other work is still needed.

Bidding is up to £6,000 now with six days left to run. I'll have to see if I can get James May to T-bone mine!

I see it’s got the usual door covering ‘sag’., Got to do mine soon. But £6,000? Mind you, I hope it does go at that price or more. It would be a good day for us owners.

The people, other people elevate to 'celebrity' status!, no wonder the world is going down the toilet vertically.

James may would likely agree with both your statement and sentiment

Had the plugs changed too! Lol (see the previous videos). I wonder if there are some wasted bids there from YouTube viewers.

But this is his previous project, but it was sold for charity too if I recall. (A better rendition of a restoration too)

On the basis of that price and that condition, I own a dorchester that is worth at least 10k!
