A jewel of a place. I hope they can restore it.

[@atittayavollebregt8381]

I had an XT 500 in 1982. Bought it from a friend in Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. Paid my friend had a few drinks and took it for a spin. I drove it of a mountain, hitting a tree and all on the left hand side of the bike was broken of, steering in half, indicators gear thing the lot came off. Without a helmet I broke my little finger! And ruined a brand new pair of trousers in the crash. Fond memories!

3 years ago I know, but Xt500, one of the most iconic and sought after Japanese classics, in complete and original condition with less than 7000 miles from new and with one owner for 40 years.... Give the man 3 grand Drew its cheap at that!

[@Alan-ds6ts]

the XT is worth way more than £750 collectors will pay double for a restoration job like that

[@neonskyline1]

Did anybody watch this ? or did you all know about that step ? because i found it fascinating, more interesting than picking faults with people and things

[@Jen-zk9se]

Tom Alexander 👏

[@paulalim1476]

Yes!

[@alisoncouper9559]

haha xt500 with circa 7000 miles worth 700 quid!!!!! at time of filming it was 2 grand now 4k plus...

[@loistverberg900]

This is from the early seasons where Drew has to visit a lot of hoarders who won't sell anything. Later he gets enough reputation so that people don't invite him and then waste his time. He's forced to buy odd things because nothing else is available to buy.

[@frechstudios3129]

4:50 surprised me and I went back to see again

[@MStanleyRoss]

A sword step! Who knew that?

[@mm9773]

“Most people think it’s Jacobean, and I say to them you need to look agaeian.” Ha. These uncultured swines.

[@charlesjensen7918]

That's not nice Ms M. CMJ Canada

[@rikverheijen]

The gastank of the XT500 is 400 pond the bike is 2000 pound

[@Equinoxliveson]

So Drew you drove 100 miles to the so called Manor House and came away with a 60s butcher’s bike and a 80s motor cycle well done

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

This was quite different. He probably just bought them for the show

[@htown3728]

I love CM Taylor...

[@jaybales3160]

Not sure of these purchases. Outside of Drew’s wheelhouse.

[@jkajje2945]

I would like that xt 500

[@MM-ep6fy]

That man has a strange voice 😂

[@johnbell5240]

He is a top Backy and more English than me last time I saw hi

[@warpnin3]

He sounds like he did the voice overs in Michael Jackson's Thriller..

[@rikverheijen]

Yamaha xt 500 3500 euro.

[@williamavery9185]

Is someone having a laugh? After fuel costs alone it was a wastse of time!
