From what I remember the restorer Pete went to prison for embezzling his granny's money

All he had to say was that his big buddy Liz Hurley (read his autobiography) once sat on the seat and the price would rocket.  ;D

This celeb vehicle went for a packet

Descent looking bike even without the proper exhausts, but as Mick says those tank decals are awful! Not even close to what they should look like.

I had to look up on Google this Henry Cole fellow.  Evidently he is some sort of television presenter.  I can't say I've ever seen him on the box.

Love him or hate him, at least he produces motorcycle content for TV which, these days, is pretty limited....

I like his little gang of experts, they all seem very switched on. Plus the dog -Jellybean - is a massive favourite in our house!

As mentioned here, at least it gets old bikes and cars and some other interesting stuff on TV!
