A friend has an ancient Vauxhall Calibra that is covered in brambles; Alan agrees to buy it for £150 without seeing it; the car is in a poor state and it's full of spiders.
Alan cooks up an idea for a new vehicle his band can use to play gigs away from his barn; he takes Nick on a trip to buy a bizarre Volvo limo; knowing that the Volvo will never be sold, they try to make some cash on an original Vauxhall Astra.
Alan is commissioned to find a new pace car for the local track; a Honda CR-V fits the bill; a hearse is found to be too rusty underneath to turn a profit.
Alan is given two free cars, although Nick suspects they mean trouble; A Peugeot hatchback only needs a starter motor to be a guaranteed profit.
Alan Cartwright is a car dealer that follows his own rules in life and how he runs his dealership.
