Cobra and D-Day Bike

The Speedshop Series 1
Episode 4 of 6

Titch takes on a very personal build, creating a custom bike for a pilgrimage to France in honour his of his D-Day hero grandfather. And the boys rebuild an AC Cobra in Cornwall.

Titch embarks on a very personal build - a vintage custom motorcycle to honour his late grandfather, a D-Day veteran and the inspiration for Titch’s own military career. Corporal William Cormack served with 45 Commando, the same regiment Titch would go on to serve with 50 years later. But this is more than just a build for Titch. Once completed, he wants to ride the machine over to the D-Day beach his grandfather landed on and pay his respects to him and the soldiers who took part in the landings that turned the course of the Second World War.

But before Titch crosses the channel, there’s an AC Cobra in Cornwall that needs the team’s attention. Its owner, Ray, has been ill with cancer and has been unable to fix an engine fault, so the beautiful car has been in pieces for the past four years. Titch and the team call in to see if they can get the car running again for Ray.
