COYS AUCTION SALE : Autosport Show National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham SAT NAV DIRECTIONS: B401NT Saturday 10th January 2009 Motor Cars at 3.00pm Collectors' Items at 12.30pm 1989 Bernie & Leepu's Chop Shop Gangsta' Car, Ex - Martin Kemp Lot 201 Registration Number: G658 UYV Chassis Number: 45AO3LL5L7003850 Bernie and Leepu are back for Chop Shop Series 2! They have upped their game and are trying to launch a business making modified supercars for superstars. Bernie‘s natural talent for schmoozing has attracted pop legend and hardman actor Martin Kemp as their first client. Bernie and Leepu are trying to make a tuned up gangster supercar by modifying a scrapped Saab 900 Turbo for pop legend and hardman actor Martin Kemp. Martin Kemp was born in Islington in October 1961. By the age of six he was attending the Anna Scher Children‘s Theatre and by the age of ten, appeared regularly on television in programmes including Rumpole of the Bailey, Dixon of Dock Green, The Tomorrow People and Jackanory. In 1979 his older brother, Gary, formed the new-romantic band Spandau Ballet and shortly after, Martin was asked to be their bass player. The group went on to tour the world and had a number of Top 20 hits in the 1980s. By the late 80s Martin had married Shirlie, one of the backing singers from Wham, and had started a family. He was then asked to star alongside his brother Gary in the film The Krays which was a huge success. He then moved to Hollywood and made several films. In 1998 he was offered the role of ‘Steve Owen‘ in the BBC‘s Bafta Award winning drama series EastEnders, a role he played until March 2002. He has since gone on to appear in many TV dramas and to present documentaries. Has he bitten off more than he can chew in this current project though? After a slow start, will this customised ‘car for a star‘ even get beyond the design phase? Will its turbo charged engine survive at race speed and will they keep their first celebrity client onside? Famous Bangladeshi Designer Leepu and his side kick Bernie decided it was really time to go to work on a car and they picked a Saab 900 T. Last series was all about making show cars however this year has been about producing cars that are actually road worthy. Having dragged Martin to a road test at Santa Pod Raceway when the custom car wasn‘t ready, Martin soon discovered that the car wasn‘t just unfinished, it was unsafe! Now Chop Shop‘s task was clear. They must make the car not only safe but beautiful- and get Martin back on side for the reveal at a British GT event at Rockingham race track. All in just three weeks‘ time. It had been modified a lot and is now fully MoT‘d until June 2009. The Panels are now made of steel and the suspension has been lowered. The roof has also been cut and lowered and a roll cage has been fully fitted making it much stronger and more secure. It has a custom exhaust as well as custom intercooler piping and dump valve. The suspension has been modified and brakes uprated. The wheels are Wolfrace Imperial custom with custom carpets inside, a handmade rollbar, dashboard and grill. Importantly, the seats are Corbeau racing units and the finished product, like all the Raw TV/ChopShop productions - AMAZING! NO RESERVE |
