It's really cool 193 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,200 'cause they've built a test drive, like, brand new. 194 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,320 It's amazing. And we've got you permission 195 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800 to take that around and give it a shake-down.Really? 196 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,680 Yeah.Oh, wow! So, you can just - 197 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,960 I didn't see that one. We're going on the track. 198 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800 (ALL LAUGH) So, we're gonna go to M-Sport and then you can 199 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,880 get that off and give it a proper shake-down, see how it feels. 200 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Do you wanna have a go, Iz, in my stupid car? 201 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,320 Go on. Erm, maybe I can be a passenger. 202 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Let's do it. We're going. Fantastic. 203 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120 You're in the back. We're chauffeuring you. 204 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Okay. I'll get in the back. 205 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,240 So, this is the Lagonda bonnet. 206 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,360 Looking at this, it makes the problem with the doors 207 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,040 look like a walk in the park. 208 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,680 As you can see, the leading edge is completely gone 209 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,680 where it's corroded away because it's a steel frame 210 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,360 and it's got aluminium wrapped around the steel frame, 211 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,800 which is a massive no-no. 212 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,000 As soon as they have contact with each other, 213 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,600 there's instant chemical reaction, which causes the steel 214 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,440 to rust and the aluminium to corrode. 215 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,280 So I've arranged for Dan over the road 216 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,160 to come and weld this up 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,720 because it is a specialised job to weld aluminium. 218 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,600 The front end of this Lagonda bonnet is so iconic, 219 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,960 we cannot get this wrong. It's got to be perfect. 220 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,720 Hi, Dan.DAN: You all right? 221 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,640 Thanks for coming over, mate to help us out.No worries. 222 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,320 So what are your plans? 223 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400 I'm going to get this piece of aluminium that I've cut, 224 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,520 and this is just going to slot over that there. 225 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,240 That's gonna look perfect. 226 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,640 I'll leave you to it. Thanks. Yeah, no worries. 227 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,040 Anyone can weld, but this, you can't get it wrong, 228 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,560 because this will warp the panel 'cause aluminium is so thin, 229 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,040 and you just got to be so careful with the heat. 230 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,920 It's a really specialised job. 231 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,480 And luckily for me, Dan's the man. 232 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:18,440 And I've seen his welding, and it's superb. 233 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,760 HAMMOND: Here we are. 234 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,000 It's quite exciting to take him for a shakedown here 235 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,800 where they shake down, like, mega race cars. 236 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,040 IZZY: Oh, my God, look at that. Oh, yeah. 237 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,680 Look at that. Oh, they're speeding the thing. 238 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,840 So they're testing these, ready to take 'em out to Monte Carlo. 239 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,240 (ENGINE SPUTTERING)Listen to it.
