0:00:02 > 0:00:07It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each, a classic car and a goal -
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- to scour Britain for antiques. - That hurts.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13What do you think?
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- What have I done?!
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Put your back into it!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:43It's the fourth day of this road trip and we're motoring along in a classic Morris Minor
0:00:43 > 0:00:46with our experts, Thomas Plant and James Lewis.
0:00:46 > 0:00:53- These gents seem to be bonding. - How old are you, James? - 39.- I thought you were 50!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Thanks, Thomas.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Thomas Plant is an experienced valuer and auctioneer with a huge font...
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- of knowledge.- Wasn't the telephone invented in Scotland?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Wasn't it? I think it was.
0:01:10 > 0:01:17He's up against James Lewis who's been in the antiques business for over 20 years.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's cracked, it's chipped - guaranteed profit.
0:01:20 > 0:01:28Thomas's original £200 starter pack has only risen to a tiny £220.66.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- And he's feeling the pressure. - I'm completely gutted.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Whereas James's original £200
0:01:35 > 0:01:40has multiplied to a massive £1,032.92.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Wow!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- I'm pleased at that.- I bet you are.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49This week, Thomas and James will be travelling over 800 miles,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53looping their way from the Scottish West Coast up to the Highlands,
0:01:53 > 0:01:59down to the Lowlands and back again, eventually finishing up at the country's capital city, Edinburgh.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04But on this leg they're starting off in Tarland, Aberdeenshire,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09and heading south for an auction in the ancient capital of Dunfermline.
0:02:09 > 0:02:16Just over 30 miles west of Aberdeen, Tarland is a quiet, pretty village with breathtaking scenery.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Wow, great views.- Beautiful.
0:02:18 > 0:02:25- Go and spend some money. - Are you coming in as well?- No. I've got bigger fish to fry!
0:02:25 > 0:02:30All right, calm down. ..Don't forget to pick me up!
0:02:31 > 0:02:38Tower Workshop is a family-run business whose stock includes 17th-19th century antiques.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Lovely.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48These sort of mirrors, encrusted with flowers,
0:02:48 > 0:02:54were made from the 18th century right the way through to the present day.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02With over £1,000 in his pocket, surely he can afford a splurge.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I'm feeling under pressure. Under pressure.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14Owner George steps in and takes James to see his secret stash in the shed.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- How much is the mangle? - I would need £35 for that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26Those things are an absolute nightmare. They should be worth so much more than they are.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'll get the guys to pull it out and you can have a better look.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36The quite nice thing is it's got a name, Northern Co-Operative Society, which was big up here.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42So you're buying a bit of social history here as well. It's not just a useful item.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48I've never used one, but it's in pretty good condition. The castors are still all there.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's all fairly original and it still works.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57I can see that making 15, 20, 25 quid at auction. 35, tops.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Mmm. Nope. 35 is my bottom on it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Somebody will walk in and they'll say, "I'm going to have that."
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- And they'll think it's for nothing. - It's got a bit of woodworm. - All good pieces do.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I've got a little bit myself!
0:04:13 > 0:04:18But, no, I think it's worth every penny.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- There's no movement at all? - Have a think.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Have a think.- I'm thinking. - What are you thinking?
0:04:26 > 0:04:33- I hate when people fight me over fivers.- I was going to fight you for a bit more than that!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- But 35, I think is, you know... - Is it?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Yeah.- Right. OK, decision made. That's a no.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- OK.- Let's move on. - Let's try something else.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47George isn't making much headway with James,
0:04:47 > 0:04:53whereas Thomas is moseying five miles south to his first shop in Dinnet.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Auld Alliance Antiques is a Road Trip regular.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02It's an Aladdin's cave, filled to the brim with bric-a-brac
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and where you can find anything, including the occasional gem,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10all curated by owner Dave and partner Jane.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13James is sort of thrashing me.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16And I just don't know what to do.
0:05:16 > 0:05:23I've got to stop looking at antiques and start looking at junk. It's the only way forward.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Maybe Dave can point Thomas in the right direction.
0:05:26 > 0:05:33- Have you got some interesting things in your box?- I just got it. - Can I have a rummage?- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Has this been bought from the local auction?- It's mostly rubbish.
0:05:38 > 0:05:46- As much as I like to buy antiques... - Yeah!- ..in the past few weeks, they've been bombing.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Thomas has spotted an assorted mix of period hunting and training crops.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I quite like this one. And it's obviously for the military.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It's got its little number there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05- I like things like that. Has that got to be a lot of money. - Not very much.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- It wouldn't be more than a tenner. - No, that's great.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- And what's... This is a silver one. - That's a hunting crop.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And what's that one got to be?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18About 15.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Hmm.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I like those.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- I like those. I'll have a think about those. - Have a thinky-poo.- A thinky-poo?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yeah, a thinky-poo.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35Looks like James has something to have a thinky-poo over, too.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I've got a very interesting lamp.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I bet you've never seen another one of these on your travels this week.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Oh, my goodness. It's revolting.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Look at that for a piece of interesting... A work of art!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It's again a bit of social history.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- How much is that?- £20. - It's vile!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- I bet you make money on that. - It's vile!- I bet you make money.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I don't want it! I don't want it!
0:07:06 > 0:07:11This is a Murano glass table lamp with figures in 18th-century dress.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17Murano is renowned for its quality and design, although James might not be keen on this one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22The £20 George is asking, though, seems a steal.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26The price also includes a ruby glass figure of an Italian court
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and a sculpted bird. Gosh.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Just buy the three pieces of me.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- Would you like that in your furniture room?- Em...- No!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, James.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45- This is definitely the case with these two pieces- Quack, quack. - And the lamp.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Three pieces. Do a deal, go on.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52James, I think you're tired. Do you want a little lie down?
0:07:52 > 0:08:00- They deserve to be ground up and put as road fill. They have nothing about them whatsoever.- James...
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- We could light this up for you. - I'll give you a tenner.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- I can't do it for a tenner. - A tenner for the three. You should be begging me.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17- I think it's a good thing, that. - You don't! You know it's rubbish. - I don't.- You do!- Do I?- Yes!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20You just bought yourself a lamp.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- You've really talked me into that. - I think it'll do well. I'm on halfers!
0:08:26 > 0:08:33The art glass trio are very collectable, so James should be happy to snap them up.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39- I think he's met his match with this silver-tongued salesman, though. - Should I have bought the mangle? No.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I'll gie you a fiver off it, James. A nice thing of quality.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- I don't want the mangle. - In Dunfermline, they still use them.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- I don't want the mangle. - Think of that. Have a go. - I'll give you 15 quid.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Oh, no, James.- If it makes 35, after commission, I make 15 quid.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- I can't do it.- I know. Look, that's what I wanted to spend.
0:09:03 > 0:09:10- And that's what I've spent. - Oh, dear.- That's pathetic. - That won't keep me going long.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Another two for the mangle. OK?- Yeah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You just bought a mangle!
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- I'd have taken 15. I just wanted... - Oh, don't you even start that!
0:09:22 > 0:09:28So George has managed to sell James a mangle, two glass figurines and a lamp that he doesn't want,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31all for £30.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34It's vile, it's disgusting, it has no class.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40It's cracked, it's chipped - guaranteed profit.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I think George could sell anything. What a charming bloke!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Let's see how Thomas is getting on. He's found a rather odd object.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58You sometimes want to go up to people and say, "Can I measure you up? I want to see what you're like."
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Measure their proportions. Don't you ever feel that?- Er, no.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09But this 19th-century steel contraption was used for measuring. They have a ticket price of £25.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- I like those and I like the crops. - You've got silver tops.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's quite sweet, that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:25- I like this.- I'm not quite sure what it is, but it's got an adjustable... - No, it's good, that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's adjustable height. It might be for hanging game or something.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Can that be a good price?- Yeah.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Och...
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I'll do it for £15 or something. - Oh, yeah. Brilliant.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Can I buy that?- Yeah.- 15? That's £15. That's great.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- I can't decide about those dividers. - The what?
0:10:46 > 0:10:52- I think he's referring to the calipers.- How much are the dividers?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- They're calipers.- Did I say anything?- You didn't.- I didn't.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Not a sausage.- A tenner.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Thomas's bill comes to a grand total of £50.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Right. Time for some negotiations.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- Can I give you a straight 50? - Yeah, I suppose so.- You suppose so?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Not quite what I was expecting.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17There's £50.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Well, at least he stuck to his plan of buying the curious. Let's hope it pays off.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31Whilst in Tarland village, James decides to take a break to pay homage
0:11:31 > 0:11:33to the nearby MacRobert Trust.
0:11:36 > 0:11:44The foundation for the Trust is at Douneside House, which has a remarkable, but tragic story
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and has left a permanent legacy with the RAF.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53Complete with 15 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds with spectacular views,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58this was the MacRoberts' family home until Lady MacRobert's death in 1954.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Great to see you.- James, welcome to the MacRobert Trust. And to Douneside House.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Chief Executive of the MacRobert Trust, Bob Joseph, shows us around.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15The story starts with Sir Alexander MacRobert, co-founder of the British India Corporation,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and his American-born wife Lady Rachel MacRobert.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23The family were extremely wealthy, but they were also philanthropic.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30He built for his workers in India the Georgina MacRobert Hospital.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35He was awarded his knighthood in 1910
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- for his generosity in India. - Gosh.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46Sir Alexander MacRobert died in 1922, leaving behind his wife and their three sons,
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Alasdair, Roderic and Iain. Sadly, this was only the start of a terrible family tragedy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Three boys, all killed in aviation. - Oh, really?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02One before the war in 1938 and two during the war
0:13:02 > 0:13:04in 1941.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Within five weeks of each other. Can you imagine that?
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Her very first response was to sit down at the desk and write a cheque for £25,000
0:13:15 > 0:13:20which she sent to Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Secretary of State for Air,
0:13:20 > 0:13:26and she said, "Please buy a bomber." The only stipulation she made was
0:13:26 > 0:13:32that the bomber should be named MacRobert's Reply, "my reply to the loss of my sons".
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Lady MacRobert had shown incredible fortitude in the face of tragedy.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42The chosen bomber was a Stirling and in October, 1941,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45it was handed over to Flying Officer PJS Boggis,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48who flew it on 12 missions.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57- Looking in great order, but the original one didn't survive. - It did not survive the war.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01It crashed over Denmark with the loss of seven crew.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07Still determined to help, Lady MacRobert donated a further £20,000
0:14:07 > 0:14:12to purchase four Hurricane fighters in 1942.
0:14:12 > 0:14:19They were sent to RAF operations in the Middle East. Three were named for her sons, the fourth for her.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25These acts of generosity cemented a charitable legacy for the MacRoberts' name.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Ever since this very first aeroplane,
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- there has always been a MacRoberts' Reply...- Really? - ..in the Air Force.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- Even now?- Even now. It's currently a Tornado GR4.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Somewhat different. - 15 Squadron, RAF Lossiemouth.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48And we see it here quite a lot because we're essentially in the training area.
0:14:48 > 0:14:55Buried in the gardens at Douneside, Lady MacRobert's spirit still informs the work of the Trust
0:14:55 > 0:15:01which helps the forces, young people and the countryside as this is what her boys would have wanted,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04should they have lived.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Lovely. I think we need a few more like her.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16Thomas drives 40 minutes east to Drumoak for his last shop of the day.
0:15:16 > 0:15:23Drumoak is a quaint village in Aberdeenshire. Located nearby lies the grounds
0:15:23 > 0:15:29of the 13th-century Drum Castle, the oldest intact castle owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Thomas is in a hurry to close the gap on James,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37although if you were driving behind him, you wouldn't know it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Mm.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43His final destination appears to be a caravan site.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Hello!- Hello. - How are you?- Fine, thank you.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- This is your lock-up, is it? - This is the lock-up!
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Dealer Susan keeps everything and anything here. She had to start selling out of necessity
0:15:56 > 0:16:02as there was no more room in her house to keep all the bits she started collecting.
0:16:02 > 0:16:09- This is the strangest place I've ever bought antiques.- Oh! I'll try to take that as a compliment.- It is!
0:16:09 > 0:16:16Don't be put off, Thomas. There are hidden treasures within this storage trailer. Get rummaging.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25This is a Road Trip first. This is like doing a valuation, going to somebody's house
0:16:25 > 0:16:29as an auctioneer. I spend my life on my knees.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'll have to get these trousers laundered.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- Getting dirty might have paid off. - Got some pens here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Ah, my knees, my knees, my knees.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43This is a nippy number three.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- That must be good.- It's fine and rare. Fine and rare, Susan.
0:16:48 > 0:16:55Thomas has unearthed a marbled, Art Deco, Conway Stewart, 14-carat-gold-nibbed fountain pen
0:16:55 > 0:16:59with matching pencil and two spare pencils.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06- Oh, yes. They're kept in a 1935 Cadbury's Jubilee tin. - They're quite sweet, really.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And people like them. They look good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And then you've got this extraordinary Victorian thing.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Like an oil lamp. I can't remember if I've sold one of these before.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It just needs a bit of replacing, but it's for something.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I wonder if it's a table lighter.
0:17:24 > 0:17:31It is, Thomas. A 1920s, silver-plated, gentleman's cigar table lighter, as an oil lamp.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35However, that and the pen set don't appear to have a ticket price.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38That's handy. They might even be free!
0:17:38 > 0:17:44- That would be good, wouldn't it? - How much for these? - Four pens and a tin.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48£20.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'll give you a tenner for them.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57£20 and I'll give you that genie lamp as a pressie.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03- As long as you promise to win. - James Lewis has got £1,000 burning a hole in his pocket.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- He's spent £1,000... - So why didn't I get James?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Do you prefer me or James?!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Yes, Susan. We don't always get what we wish for.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19- It doesn't stop Thomas trying. - I know it sounds mean of me, but £20 is a bit too much.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- How about 15? - I still...I still think that 15...
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- They're fun little things. - With the lamp thrown in.
0:18:28 > 0:18:3115 with the lamp.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Do me £10 for those two. Go on.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- And if you don't win, you come back and buy me ice cream.- I promise.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Done.- I promise. Thank you very much.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47Cor, that Susan's nice. I wonder if she'll get her ice cream.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52The boys have had a hard day's shop so it's time to rest up. Nighty night.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01It's the start of a new day and we join James Lewis and Thomas Plant in their Morris Minor
0:19:01 > 0:19:06enjoying the open road and the majesty of the Scottish countryside.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Look - cows! - Thomas, you're so easily impressed.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18So far, Thomas has spent £60 on four lots - two contraptions,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20two hunting and training crops
0:19:20 > 0:19:24and a 1930s Conway Stewart writing set.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29The lucky boy was also given this 1920s cigar table lighter by the lovely Susan,
0:19:29 > 0:19:34leaving him with £160.66 for today's shopping.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'll buy you ice cream. I promise.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Whereas James has spent £30 on two items that he didn't even want.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46A Murano glass table lamp and two glass figures,
0:19:46 > 0:19:54plus an 1870s Aberdeen mangle, meaning he's very much in the money still with £1,002.92.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You really talked me into that one!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02The boys are heading 50 miles south to Kirriemuir,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05however, there's been a hitch.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08The Morris has broken down.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13We have been smelling a funny smell, haven't we?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I thought that was you.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21- To be honest with you, James... - Do you know what you're looking for? - Not really.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Neither would I!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Can I suggest we get a taxi? - Or hitch.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28The gents still have plenty to do,
0:20:28 > 0:20:33so Thomas gets a lift from a kind neighbour as he wants to explore Kirriemuir.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a lovely day.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Whilst James takes a taxi half an hour east to Letham,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43as he wants to get back to business.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Hello there.- Hello.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- I'm James.- I'm Barbara. - Wow! This place is full!
0:20:50 > 0:20:55It's not been a great start to the day, so let's hope Lovejoy Antiques cheers him up.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Shop owner Barbara is on hand if needs be.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04I'm interested in everything, really. I don't mind having a gamble at something
0:21:04 > 0:21:08that's a few hundred pounds. I'd prefer something expensive.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Really? Actions speak louder than words.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Oh, £1,445. - Yes. Break the piggy bank.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Has he spotted something to make him part with his cash?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29The creamware jug made somewhere around 18...
0:21:29 > 0:21:321830, 1840, probably.
0:21:32 > 0:21:39Yep, it's 19th century with a painting that commemorates the iron bridge over the River Wear
0:21:39 > 0:21:41in Sunderland.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46One of the most famous iron bridges of its time. However, it's slightly damaged.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Hand-painted, which is nice.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Creamware doesn't matter so much if it's damaged
0:21:52 > 0:21:56because it's very soft and, therefore, it chips very easily.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59But they're not easy things to sell.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I have it on at 190,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- so 150 would be my best.- OK.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I was thinking about two figures. - 130.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm going to be really cheeky.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16£60 to £100 is what I think it would go for at auction.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Oh, no, I couldn't.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Anywhere close?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24How would 110 suit you?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27105?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Tiny bit...?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35100 is the best.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Very, very best.- OK.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43- In that case, I'll buy your jug. - Right.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- 100.- Thank you very much.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53Back in Kirriemuir, Thomas has taken time out to feel inspired.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57It's a charming and historic town in the county of Angus
0:22:57 > 0:23:02and is best known as the birthplace of JM Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Believe it or not, this unassuming terrace
0:23:06 > 0:23:10is where world-famous playwright James Matthew Barrie was born
0:23:10 > 0:23:16to handloom weaver David Barrie and Margaret Ogilvy, the daughter of a stonemason,
0:23:16 > 0:23:22now part of the National Trust for Scotland. Thomas will find out how Barrie's story began.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- Hello.- Hi, Thomas. How are you doing?- Good, thank you. - Let me tell you about this room.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29John McKenna is our tour guide.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33The room we're in just now is the family living room.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Everything happened in here - cooking, eating, sleeping.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Who slept there?- That would be the children. It's a box bed.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46The kids would all be squeezed in in concertina fashion and Mum and Dad would have next door.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Barrie was the ninth of ten children
0:23:50 > 0:23:56and this is where he would have heard the fantastical stories from his mother and grandmother,
0:23:56 > 0:24:01those that found their way into his writings, particularly Peter Pan.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04However, this room also holds sad memories.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07When he was six years old, there was a tragedy in the family.
0:24:07 > 0:24:13His brother, within a couple of days of his 14th birthday, died in a tragic skating accident.
0:24:13 > 0:24:19- They brought the body home and presented it on the table for the wake.- No?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- That affected Jamie Barrie deeply. - That's awful.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Barrie's mother Margaret was devastated by David's loss.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32When he heard her crying, he tried to console her
0:24:32 > 0:24:37by mimicking his deceased brother and dressed up in his clothes. How sad is that?
0:24:37 > 0:24:43My opinion is that's the way Barrie always consoled himself about his brother's death,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47knowing the fact that his brother won't ever grow up to be a man,
0:24:47 > 0:24:52and he then invented this whole fantasy about Peter Pan and this Neverland.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- So Neverland, never grow up?- Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00The ground floor of the cottage has been transformed to resemble Barrie's London apartments,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04including the desk on which he used to write his now famous stories.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08That is the original manuscript for Peter Pan, the play.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Really?
0:25:10 > 0:25:131904 was the original stage production.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18And what's really interesting about it is Barrie actually wrote five different endings.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'd love to find out what the other four were.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26This room holds many artefacts, including Barrie's glasses
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and a letter from his dear friend, Captain Scott of the Antarctic.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36When they discovered Scott's body, they found a letter written to JM Barrie.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42They were great friends and Scott, here he is dying in the tent in the wilderness of the Antarctic,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45pleading with Barrie to look after his children.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49"..in a very comfortless spot.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53"Hoping this letter may be found and sent to you,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57"I write a word of farewell."
0:25:57 > 0:26:02If I was in the Antarctic and I was writing a farewell letter,
0:26:02 > 0:26:08I wouldn't be writing to somebody who was godfather to my... Well, I might do.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That's the high regard people had for Jamie Barrie,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15and it's only when you see something as significant as a letter of this nature,
0:26:15 > 0:26:20you realise there was more to the ma than we can ever encapsulate in his writings.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Although he was married to actress Margaret Ansell for 15 years,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Barrie had no children.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31He drew upon his own childhood experiences for his inspiration
0:26:31 > 0:26:38and he sat in this very seat to write a lot of his celebrated work, including Peter Pan.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Can you tell me what that is?- It's a pirate. And what's that up there?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- It's a galleon.- Oh, it is a boat.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Then over here, you've got Tinker Bell.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52So Barrie's sitting here, runs out of inspiration and what does he do?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55He's trying to visualise...
0:26:55 > 0:26:58He's taking it out of his head and making it into a form,
0:26:58 > 0:27:03so that he can draw from that form to continue with his play or his novel.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Barrie remained devoted to the town of Kirriemuir
0:27:07 > 0:27:13and kept in touch with his friends and family whilst pursuing his London literary life.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17In 1930, he donated a cricket pavilion and a Camera Obscura to the town
0:27:17 > 0:27:22and was made a Freeman of Kirriemuir in recognition of his literary achievements.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26He was very humble. He could have been buried in Poets' Corner.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30And he was buried in Kirriemuir with his family.
0:27:30 > 0:27:36This man of modest origin received a baronetcy, the Order of Merit and many other honours.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42However, if you visit his grave, you'll simply see "James Matthew Barrie".
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Unassuming to the very end.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Thank you very much, John. - I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself. - It's been a real, real pleasure.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Meanwhile, as the Morris Minor is still out of action,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59James takes a taxi from Letham and heads south to Glencarse for his final shop.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Oh, dear, he is really pooped!
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- I hope you find lots of bargains. - Thank you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Springing into action, James enters Michael Young Antiques.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Established in 1887, this shop is third generation.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Ah, Michael!- Hello. - James. Nice to see you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24It has an extensive collection of fine quality items,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27dating from the Georgian and Victorian eras.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- How flexible are you on these? - They're 150.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33What do you suggest?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I was thinking a lot less.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40These are four assorted, nine-carat gold brooches.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45They include an amethyst and an Art Deco, nine-carat gold bar.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- I was thinking £20 each, something like that.- 80 quid?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Do you want to make it the round 100
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I think they've got to be worth 100.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Four gold brooches, should be a profit in those.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Right, OK, I'm going to think on those.
0:29:02 > 0:29:09Back on the road and in a cab, Thomas is making his way to join James at Michael Young Antiques.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13I'm quite excited about the next shop. It's my last shop of this leg.
0:29:13 > 0:29:19If something catches my eye and it slips in with another lot, I'll do it. Otherwise, I don't really mind.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Interesting tactics for your last "wow" item for auction!
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Hello, James.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Fancy seeing you here!
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I thought I might have had a bit more of a head start.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Thomas wastes no time in scanning the shop.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Oh, sugar!
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Steady!
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Back on the other side of the shop, James seems to have found his star buy.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I quite like that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50This is such a rare thing.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53A bit of Chinese bronze.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58That surface would have been polished, so you would literally have had it as a hand mirror.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02So you put the loop there through the back,
0:30:02 > 0:30:09put your hand through there and use it as a hand mirror for dressing, put it on a lady's dressing table.
0:30:09 > 0:30:16Before the use of bronze mirrors, people simply reflected their faces by filling a basin with water.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20This mirror is apparently from the Song Dynasty, 1200 AD,
0:30:20 > 0:30:24and is priced at £200, but Michael is open to negotiation.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Do you want to give me 100 for it?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28If I paid you 100, I'd lose.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33- So you don't want to give me 100. - I think that's the most it would make.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35For me, I love it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38But how frustrating it would be...
0:30:38 > 0:30:43if the room just didn't understand it and didn't respond to how wonderful it is.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Is 50 quid any good?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Is there anything else you want?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51James has got his eye on two promising lots.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57Michael wanted £100 for the four gold brooches, so maybe he'll reduce the price of the mirror.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00That, we were talking about 50.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Would you take 120 if I bought the two, that and that?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Let's do it and see how they go.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- Yeah.- We've got a deal. Thank you. Thank you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Over on the other side of the shop, Thomas seems to have spotted something.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18This is a 19th century, cast-iron fountain spout.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- Superb.- Yeah.- It'd be nice to have that in your garden, wouldn't it?- It would be.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- What would you expect to get for that?- 20 quid or something.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- I don't know what it's worth, but I'd take 20 quid for it. - A bit of fun?- Yeah.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- I quite like that.- Yeah, it's fun.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I like that very much. I do think that's rather fun.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Could I... I have to ask.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Could I ask... Could I give you 15 for it?- You could, yes.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Would you accept that? - I'd be glad for you to have it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52I hope you put it up in your garden instead of an auction room.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- I'd love to put it up in my garden. I think that's fun.- Yes.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- So, 15?- Thanks very much indeed. - Thank you very much, Michael.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Well, Thomas's tactic was not to spend big.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07This bespoke water feature definitely ticks that box.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I think he's lovely.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Well, would James agree? It's time for the gents to reveal their lots.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Come on, what have you got?
0:32:17 > 0:32:24It doesn't look that much, but there you are. I've gone for random things.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26You certainly have. I like them.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- Nice.- This is an agricultural measurer.- Is it to measure girth?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33To measure girth.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Put that down before someone gets hurt!
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- This is silver. This is nice.- No?
0:32:41 > 0:32:46- A solid silver-mounted one? - Yeah, it's 1895. Bend over.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Oh, Thomas!
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- And this is First World War. - Oh, it's a regimental one. - Yeah, yeah. Artillery.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- And it's got the early number on. Look, 4273.- Oh, put it down!
0:33:00 > 0:33:05James looks worried. What will Thomas think of his items though?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09That's a big, showy lot, isn't it, the lamp?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- That's impressive.- Impressive? It's vulgar.- No, it's great.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- Look at that!- It's marvellous. I think there's £150 there.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- Don't be ridiculous! - There is, there is.- It's chipped.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28- It's going to make good money. How much did you pay for it?- I paid 100. Is that too much?- Far too much.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- I paid a tenner.- How did you do that?- I thought it was just horrid.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Oh, I love that. - Very nice, very early.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Chinese.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- And presumably it's bronze?- Hmm.
0:33:40 > 0:33:47- It's a mirror because that would be polished. It's very early. 1300s, 1400s?- Yeah, I think so.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- 50 quid.- Oh... £50?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- I want it.- You can't have it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Four lots. Where's number five? - A-ha!
0:33:56 > 0:33:59It's blending into its surroundings so well.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Is it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:05It looks like it should be in a railway station. So it's a mangle.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Is it heavy?
0:34:07 > 0:34:13- Oh, God, that's heavy!- That's heavy. It would've been fun getting that in the Morris.- What did you pay?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- 20 quid.- Perfect.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Well, let's see if I get a whipping at the auction, eh?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- I don't think you will, James. - I'm sure I will.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25In your dreams! Let's find out what they really think.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Oh, Thomas has been so careful. Not a single risk.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Everything he's bought will be a profit.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38All those lovely bits of big Murano figures. £10?!
0:34:38 > 0:34:44- Going to make 100. On the whole, he's done rather well.- If he doesn't make a profit, the world's bonkers.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48This leg of the road trip started north in Tarland,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52worked its way to Dinnet, then east to Drumoak,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55then 50 miles to Kirriemuir with a stop in Letham,
0:34:55 > 0:35:00and then south to Glencarse before ending up in Dunfermline for the auction.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06Dunfermline has one of the best preserved medieval landscapes in Scotland.
0:35:06 > 0:35:12It's also well known as the birthplace of Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie
0:35:12 > 0:35:16who led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20At last, the Morris is back on the road.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- Profits or losses?- Realistically, I should be in for a profit.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Well, you played it safe, so here's hoping.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Family-run business Castleblair Auctions is today's battleground.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Auctioneer Paul Heggie predicts Thomas and James's fortunes.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40The mangle, I like.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45A lot of people don't like them, but I do. We seem to be able to sell them very well.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I was really surprised with the font It's a really, really nice piece.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55It's not often that you see these turning up for auction, so I was quite surprised.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Thomas began this leg with £220.66
0:35:59 > 0:36:03and spent a cautious £75 on five auction lots.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Thank you very much.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10However, James started with an impressive £1,032.92
0:36:10 > 0:36:14and spent £250, also on five auction lots.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You talked me into that one!
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Right, take your seats. We're off!
0:36:21 > 0:36:27- You've been given a booster seat. - I've been given a booster seat, James!- You little man, you!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31First up is Thomas's 19th century, cast-iron fountain head.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- £28.- 28.- Underbidders are out. 28. Bid 30.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3832. 35. 38. 40.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4242. 45. Book bids are out at 45. We're on the floor at 45.
0:36:42 > 0:36:4548. 50.
0:36:45 > 0:36:505. 55 I'm bid now. All finished at 55? Last call at 55...?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- 55. Was that 55? - Well done, well done.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58That water feature has given Thomas a great start and boosted his morale.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Fighting back, making back that profit.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06James splashed the cash with this damaged Creamware jug.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Will his spending pay off?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Lots of bids on this again. I can start the bidding at £35.- Oh, no.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- You'll be fine.- 38. 40...- Calm down.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Calm down.- 48. 50.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Calm down.- Book's out at 55. On the floor at 55. All finished at 55?
0:37:22 > 0:37:2660. 5. 70. 5.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- 80 to my left.- Oh!- Calm down, James.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Last call, £80...?- No!
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- You lost money on that one. - JAMES PRETENDS TO SOB
0:37:35 > 0:37:38How dramatic! But this loss of £20
0:37:38 > 0:37:42would dent James's extraordinary lead.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- There you go.- If you spend more than £100...- You make a loss.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51Will Thomas's hunting and training crops whip the crowd into a frenzy?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54£50 for it? 50? 40? 30 to start it? £30 bid.
0:37:54 > 0:37:5730 bid. 30 on the lot. £30. 32.
0:37:57 > 0:38:0035. 38. 40.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12Book's out at 60. We're on the floor again at 60. All finished at £60?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- 60, that's not bad.- Well done. - That's a good profit.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Definitely. Thomas seems to be moving in the right direction.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Sweet smell of profit!
0:38:24 > 0:38:28James is now pinning his hopes on this group of gold brooches.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31£75 bid on the book. 75. 75.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3480. 5. 90. 5.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37100. 100 here at... 5. 110.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40All finished at 110? Last call at 110...?
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- Good profit. Really good profit. - I'm pleased.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Thank goodness! And no more dramatics!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- You look sort of smug.- Smug?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55£40, that's brilliant, really, isn't it?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Thomas got a real bargain with this pen set.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Let's hope it's not a write-off!
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- I can start on the book at 15 then.. - Told you.
0:39:04 > 0:39:0716. 18. 20. 22.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- 25. Book's at 25...- Told you, 25!
0:39:09 > 0:39:13£25. All finished at 25? Last call at £25...?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Pleased? Show some sort of reaction!
0:39:16 > 0:39:21An excellent profit for Thomas who also has his poker face on.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27Now time for that 1870s Aberdeen mangle that James didn't want.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Lots and lots of interest in this. - It's quite attractive.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I can start the bidding here at...£60.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Underbidders are all out. 60 bid, 60 on the lot.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38£60 on the mangle. At £60. 65.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44All finished at £70? Book bid at 70. Last call at £70?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Hmm.- What do you mean, "hmm"?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50The unloved mangle has had the last laugh
0:39:50 > 0:39:54as it's wrung out a great profit for James.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Would you have paid 35 for it? - No. I would've left it.- So would I.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Next up is the cigar lighter that Thomas got for free.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04£5 for it then?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- £5 bid. 6. - There are five or six hands up.
0:40:07 > 0:40:1010. 12. 15.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Lady's bid at £18... - £18? I'm not worried about that.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Last call at £18...?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Could have made a bit more, but it doesn't matter.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21This silver-plated, genie style wick trimmer
0:40:21 > 0:40:25gave Thomas a much-needed, although petite profit.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28James really did value this ancient mirror,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30but will the crowd see its worth?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33£50 bid. Thank you. 50. 5.
0:40:33 > 0:40:3560. 5. 70.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- 5.- Calm down, James.- 80.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46110. New bid at 120. 130.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- See? I told you.- All finished at £130? Last call at 130...?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Yay.- There you are. - That's all right.- Come on.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58All right? Surely that profit is something to shout about!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Now leave me alone.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Don't... You're such a baby.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Will these quirky, 19th century contraptions
0:41:05 > 0:41:08yield Thomas the profit he needs?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11At £10 shall we start it then?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14£10 bid. 10. 12.
0:41:14 > 0:41:1615. 18.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19New bid at 20. 20 at the back. At £20. 22.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2425. 28. Last call at £28...?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Ohh... 28.- What do you mean, "Ohh?"
0:41:27 > 0:41:30What do you mean, "Ohh?" It's a profit.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Yes, James, it is, but Thomas won't see much of his £3 profit
0:41:34 > 0:41:36after auction costs.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39James didn't want this glass family of figurines
0:41:39 > 0:41:42or the Murano table lamp.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- I can start with the book bid at 20. - 20.- 20 bid on the lot. 22. 25.
0:41:46 > 0:41:5028. 30. 32.
0:41:50 > 0:41:5235. 38.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- 40.- They're in the room.- 42.
0:41:54 > 0:41:5845. 48. 50. New bid at £50.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02All finished at £50? Last call at £50...?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- 50.- Very good.- £40 profit.- Yeah.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I thought it should have made another...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10There should be a one in front of that.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13The classic design of Murano speaks for itself
0:42:13 > 0:42:16and at last, its value has been appreciated.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22- You thought it was worth 150? - They're rare things. Like that, in that condition, they're rare.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Thomas started this leg with £220.66.
0:42:26 > 0:42:32After paying auction costs and making a profit of £77.52,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36that leaves him with a decent £298.18.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43James started with a whopping £1,032.92
0:42:43 > 0:42:47and after auction costs, made £110.80 profit,
0:42:47 > 0:42:53boosting his piggy bank to £1,143.72
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and making him the clear winner of this leg.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03So how do you feel? A profit? That's a rare thing for you, Thomas.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07There's no need. There's no need to behave like that, Mr Lewis.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Maybe this is the start of Thomas's fightback.
0:43:11 > 0:43:17Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, our chaps have trouble on four wheels.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19We might have a flat.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22And fun on two!
0:43:22 > 0:43:25I'm attempting a turn.
