You beat me to it!! I never fail to watch "Bangers and Cash" on the Yesterday channel that comes every week from Matthewsons - brilliant programme, and some of the classic cars they get are mind boggling!!
This week they had a near mint 1980 ESCORT RS2000 with only 28K on the clock, that went for £60,000! But there's so many odd ball/one off vehicles as well, and you get a bit of history on them when you see them pick them up from the original owners.

Fascinating programme.

Is it ever explained who is burying the gold at the end of the first episode of series 3 and why? Just seems so random burying such wealth in the middle of a field!

Just rewatched all series and it was a Roman burial site iirc, in other words the owners wealth was buried with them for reasons of status and superstition.

I reckon the sitcom connection could bump up the bidding for that car, if someone wants it as a showpiece rather than a car to drive. Even without it it looks in very good nick. But beware the noise it made in the show, if that was the actual engine noise, but I doubt it'll be bought to be driven much, if there are collectors there.

I'm now convinced that Lance is retarded or certainly has some arrested development!
