    Another video from you that gives you goosebumps from start to finish. What great treasures, just a pity no one is saving this! At 9.00, that's a motor becane that had only built moped´s and mokick´s in the last few years of production.
    Thanks for this great video!

    Big respect to whoever did the shuttering for the concrete spiral staircase, I don't think that was intended to be an attic. DS safari reminded me of my dentist as a child in 1970's, he had one with a weird double number plate on the back. I'd get one or two fillings every 6 months, he was an animal- left my molars looking like Jaws off moonraker!

    I noticed in the garage where the DS ambulance is, the ceiling is block and beam construction,which indicates the house is above. This would date the build as 1970’s at oldest. It could be an extension built onto an existing property, I’m wondering if the unfinished part is above the garage?

    Teddy boys in England used to have those type of shoes in the fifties and sixties, they were called beetle-crushers, still popular to this day, originally went with skin-tight, drain-pipe trousers . Those models look very good and complete too, but I think the packaging is just as important to a collector.

    It was a person who liked cars and played music with other musicians. He had multitudes of projects going on one, after the other. He was probably divorced and had lots of things to do to keep the kids happy and occupied when they were there. He needed to get money out of those cars for paying alimony etc. He had all this going on until burning the candle at both ends took its toll. 😟
    Oh, and if this was a Columbo episode, Colin touched that gun for all to see because he needed to cover for the fact that his fingerprints were on it after it was used to bump off the ex who was sucking the man dry and making his life miserable. 😬😁
