And what exactly do you think is inbetween 11:59pm and 12:01am if not 12am?
I'm enjoying the program, and they have some lovely cars and interesting ephemera there. I suggested to Mrs. DR that a visit might be in order if we ever find ourselves in the area and she gave me that "Yeah;right. No chance" look that women do so well.
In that case a look at the back auction catalogues will be torture. There is nothing yet in the list for the June auction, unless restoring old knackered tractors is your thing.I'm enjoying the program, and they have some lovely cars and interesting ephemera there.

Stuff seems generally very sensibly priced which makes it worse, usual caveat about guide prices versus what the hammer falls at notwithstanding.

The wife is hilarious, the way she said something like ' he is alright so long as he stops doing the terrible joooookes' Her exaggerated accent was really funny.
I reckon its just that she's from further north ie Middlesborough - she sounds just like Stef McGovan (BBC Brekky).The Mad Monk said:
I have already told you. It is 12 midnight.
There is no such time as 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.
Well, the National Physical Laboratory would seem to think otherwise...There is no such time as 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.
“By convention, 12 am refers to midnight at the start of the specified day (00:00 on the 24 hour clock) and 12 pm to midnight at the end of that day (24:00 on the 24 hour clock).”

What do they know?“By convention, 12 am refers to midnight at the start of the specified day (00:00 on the 24 hour clock) and 12 pm to midnight at the end of that day (24:00 on the 24 hour clock).”
They know nothing!

On the whole the programme has been pretty accurate with details, but I got confused tonight with constant references to a Jaguar 240 MkII. It had leather and the deep bumper, so I assumed it was a MkII and surely a 2.4 rather than 240?
You are quite right Nicanary - it was a 2.4 not a 240. There is a later 240 coming up in Ep 8 or 9.
Please keep the comments coming. I do read them, appreciate them and take note.
You seem to think we are on the right track by keeping it authentic, even if that includes the odd error. What happens is (by and large) what you get.
Next weeks programme is a case in point and a minefield unless you have had a subscription to Classic Tractor for many years.
It features a tremendous and very personal collection including Nuffield, McCormick, Allis-Chalmers and a Ransomes Thresher that takes a bit of shifting.
Cars include a very nicely restored Standard Ensign, an MG TC and a TF ......and a skeleton.
Thanks again for watching

Excellent show Mumbles Boy ! Proper feel good British tv without any of the false jeopardy of the US car shows. My only worry would be that the auctions are now snowed under with people attending after seeing the tv show !
It is a good point, and we have all been thinking about that. Most people come to buy which is good for everyone - auctions on the whole are not a spectator sport, a bit like casinos!
One thing I particularly enjoy is the mix of people shown. The collectors who are there just for a sign to put on the garage wall. The avid restorer who gains pleasure from the process to taking a vehicle and returning it to former glory, to the folks who aren't particularly into hours of painstaking restoration or maybe not capable of anything more than a bit of simple maintenance but just looking for a decent classic runner that they can drive around for a bit. Also making folks aware that they're also up against dealers who will buy something and just stick it in their showroom with a markup.
Keep it up, even the Mrs is enjoying it, and like me she hates the documentaries with often artificial time jeopardy narratives.

Is it Mumbles as in 'Mumbles mile, Joes ice cream etc' or Mumbles as in not speaking very clearly.....Most people come to buy which is good for everyone - auctions on the whole are not a spectator sport, a bit like casinos!
