John and Richard (both suffix V6) may remember a very early 3-wheeled Reliant in a Norfolk car museum  Hmm, can't find a photo, might have the wrong museum!

Watched it on catch up and it seems quite good.
What strikes me is surely they would know possible resale values before buying a car or bike. I guess that is just TV for you. The Scimitar did look good

Yes I enjoyed it, mostly because it didn’t feature the know it all too much. Graham Walker and his team really were a lovely crowd.
The Honda lady was most impressive too and a great character.
The whole pricing thing was off the wall but as you say it’s TV so not very real or accountable.

John and Richard (both suffix V6) may remember a very early 3-wheeled Reliant in a Norfolk car museum Hmm, can't find a photo, might have the wrong museum! I can offer this Graham. A 1932 Stevenson van with water cooled 600cc engine but non-original bodywork. It lives at Kersey Mill in Suffolk. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/SERlbXP.jpg) Raleigh produced similar with JAP engine with production taken over by Reliant when founded in 1935, later using an Austin 7 engine.

It was a ex-Raleigh man that started the Relieant production of said three wheelers, I believe Thanks for the photo Richard. I'm now racking my brains to remember where I saw one of these

Yes, that was the one, but I couldn't find a photo of said Reliant. Maybe I didn't take one. I have photos of a couple of other 3 wheelers.

not much on tv i like but dont mind bangers and cash am i the only one ? I have it set to record automatically. Derek is a bit of a know-it-all and his sons & grandsons all have their own opinions (e.g. what's the point of a convertible in the UK?) but I do enjoy seeing some of the more unusual cars and their owners, The Restoration spin-off is a joke really as they rarely come close to breaking even but it does make interesting TV if you concentrate on the work done and the craftsmen they use. I guess if they lose a few grand on the restoration of a car or bike it's cheap to make TV.

Not breaking even on a restoration must be about the most 'reality' we ever see on Reality TV 🤣
