A PAIR of father-and-son car restorers are turning rust to riches by buying, selling and fixing some of the world's rarest cars. Among the classics Lance, 52 and Merlin McCormack, 20, have worked on included John Lennon's iconic white 1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom and motor's worth £15m plus. Testing their mechanical know-how, Lance and Merlin have found themselves the go-to guys for bespoke classic car restoration. Other rarities to have been treated at their garage in Brentford, west London, include Captain America's shield used in the 2011 blockbuster, and a scratched windscreen of a 1950s Ferrari. Their current project is one for Merlin - pulling his dad and their business into the 21st Century and getting themselves on Facebook, Instagram and other social networks around the world.

Metal fabrication is making a comeback in Australia now which is great to see. Some really talented young blokes doing some beautiful metal work.
As a car driver and not a restorer, I am so in admiration of these guys.
The skill and time and experience that goes in to restoring a car I find amazing, good that in the end they get great money for the result, they HAVE certainly earned it.
Great work fellers.
Love it.
Dad is amazing. Son is a lucky boy. Good show.
Great idea! Looking forward to see more
Goodwood Road & Racing Thanks!
Don't think the son wants to get his hands dirty unlike the old guys,old is gold.
A true craftsman, great video 👍🏻
great job Guys ,
My step dad was manager at Mulliner Park Ward coach building in the 60s innit. Great vid.
This car..is incredible looking !
great channel
My 01' Chrysler Cruiser comes stock with a 2.4 liter Lotus Engine . You wouldn't believe how fast it is. A few adjustments takes it from street car to race rocket !
I have in fact, raced a Lamborghinis in it, and i
I had no problem ! To my complete disbeliefe...!!
How many cars did you end up doing for the "Salvage Squad"?. The Amphicar episode was well funny! :-).
👏👏
why was he leaning on that ferrari with his jeans dont they have metal studs on the back ?
Shouldn't have been leaning against it regardless.
Is this a TV series ?
A kid at our Machine shop..only 22, big blonde goofy guy.., told me, 5 years ago he TOTALLED his $200,000 fully restored Fastback-Mustang, only 2 weeks after his Dad handed it down to him . He said he raced it on the street and crashed it into a telephone pole doing 90 M.P.H. in Los Angeles. After this, he said his father told him.."better find another one, on your own...!"
He showed me a picture of it before it was destroyed ...It was stunning !!!.........
..Recently, I had put my own new car, out to the curb for the first time in 5 YEARS . The next morning the door was caved in ...I had do go down to the junk yard and dig up another one...UUUHHGG !! the truth is, if you have a car worth keeping, dont drive it alot ! Keep it away from traffic. Period ....
Red terrifies me . Highway Patrol and the Cops are drawn to it, like Moths are drawn to the light ...
most of your restoration garage videos are deleted :(
Merlin have a fu*ing word! I bet he is a wizard with a spanner?
dad's cool but I get the shakes & shivers over replicas... personally I'd never touch one
you couldnt afford one anyway,thats why you wouldnt be touching one replica or otherwise.
lpmm koopoo
are you interested in a 1971 mercedes bens
Is there much money to be made buying, restoring and selling cars? I'm only 14, but I nee to start thinking of my future and what path to take, so if someone could help out that would be great!
You're now 18, and probably realised this is not the way to go

MEET the father-and-son car dealers who turn rust to riches by buying, selling and fixing some of rarest cars in the world. Lance, 64, and Merlin McCormack, 21, handle some of the world's most desirable cars on a daily basis - including motors worth £10m and above. From fixing a scratched windscreen on a 1930s Ferrari to a total reconstructing a one-off Porsche, they have found themselves the go-to people for bespoke classic car restoration. Lance projects have included John Lennon's famous white 1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom, a bullet-riddled Aston Martin DB4 car involved in a gangland hit and even Captain America's shield used in the 2011 blockbuster. To add to the business, Lance's son Merlin is helping him enter the 21st century by using Facebook, Instagram and other social networks to trade around the world. This video was captured at their premises in Brentford, west London.
Rubbish...
