Ex-soldier Ted has owned his 'Tilly' truck since 1956 and used it as a day-to-day workhorse on his farm. Remarkably, the vehicle has somehow remained in an extraordinary state of preservation, tired but virtually unchanged since it left the army. For Fuzz, it's love at first sight and he wants to conserve the outside of the truck in its current state, rather than restoring it. However, the clock is ticking as there are just four weeks to go until farmer Ted's 90th birthday | |
