Episode 2 wasn't much better, their all starting (genuinely) first kick. Hands up anybody that's managed to get a Villiers engine to start first kick (if at all) when its been standing for ever.
Don't know how close you were all watching, but in the attic behind the R1 sits the grab of the series and nobody even mentioned it. Only got a quick look, but isn't that the competition version of the 1930's Norton International sat there in its frame (may even be a 1920's CS1). Not an expert on Nortons, but their certainly not or they would have bid on it. Worth a mint.
Did anybody that knows more than me about Brit Iron manage to identify it. Now don't all rush to your Sky boxes.
