Unfortunately before full production could get underway, the Panther company collapsed, and the South Koreans that rescued it had no interest in the Six. However 2 cars were built - one by the factory, and one privately...

Looks a good show, for me personally too many modern cars, My 1956 Packard Coupe would look out of place
I really enjoy your videos, keep it up.
Glad you like them!
A boat, Great fun for£1200. Better than rolling it in glitter. 😂
Absolutely
What’s wrong with people? Really good videos.
Thanks!
I enjoyed watching the show as I do all car shows and lepu had some decent skills if he could of just done a clean wide arch build instead of all the craziness
You want see a epic mot advisory PJ52LSD THE 2015 mot thank me later
OMG... 😳 Think that is in the X rates category though 😂
@@oscarsgarage447 thats just one that come to mind from when i was a tester and lived in the uk will look up the reg's of more when i get a chance
Interview Bernie, I think he had done some proper stuff before chop shop.
I like to know exactly what Bernie really thought ofLipu 😂😂😂 😂😂
I like the blue of the surf ute from Chop Chop London Garage is still around and a versatile boat
I remember slagging off leepus handy work with my dad or friends watching this show hacking up cars and making these unsafe cut n shut things I’m not the least surprised that none of these cars survived as a road legal vehicle
The Rover jet car inspired build is still alive and well and as far as I'm concerned the only reasonably good one out of the lot. I liked the idea of Impreza running gear in a mk2 Golf but they made it look hideous!
Thanks to the present owner for coming forward and filling in the blanks. 👍🏼👍🏼
It was great of him to do that. 👍
@8:44 _'you'e got the steering wheel for the boat'_ The word you're looking for, is 'tiller'. :)
Thanks... I was scrabbling round for the correct word!
@@oscarsgarage447 My pleasure, Sir! And great channel, by the way - I've very much enjoyed your reels. Keep em coming! :D
I would like to hear more from Bernie and if he and Leepu played up to the camera’s with their arguments
Ask Bernie if leepu really did get deported
@deathtozionism7111 😂😂😂 probably they deported him, Leepu was really a bad bodybuilder, how come they choose him for the show??😅
I loved that series !!!, it was brilliant. Yes do an interview and get him on the channel !!!
I do hope you have a interview with Bernie
An interview with Bernie would be good if you can swing it be good to hear the real truth and not just scripted tv.
Charlie is crazy. What a guy. 👍
When you cross the channel take a trailer and you could make a fortune the illegals are paying 5000 a time maybe slippery starmer will sponsor you lol
Get Bernie on a general chat about his life he will have some story's to tell, he was always loud and funny it was the character's that made the show not the dodgy cars 😂 👍
The show was junk so anything that bernies says will be rubbish
Oh wow never seen chopshop.channel crossing car
Got to do the Bernie interview unless of course he’s going to fit you up with a pair of fashionable concrete shoes! Great video yet again and I’d also like to wish you all the best for the coming season and 2025
Something else happened in 2008, but I cant remember what...
All their output was utter junk. Yes you can change the looks of things but you really won't get anything of any value out of this sort of junk.
Isn't that the case with all modified cars, looks like shit drives like shit?
@@jordyderidder8485 No. That's a ridiculous statement.
We need that Bernie interview that would be amazing
People are so on edge about cut N shuts, i.e. "two cars welded together", but they think nothing of riding in a stretch limo or funeral car that amounts to the same thing. As long as it's done properly it's fine, cars are welded together at the factory too...
Cars are *_seam welded_* in the factory yes - but to components that are *designed* to be joined. There's a *massive* difference between that, and two *hugely* load bearing surfaces that are, simply, just two cut surfaces bollocked together. With the latter, there is absolutely *no* structural integrity, whatsoever. And while you raise a _(semi-)_ valid point regarding limousines/funeral vehicles, ANY of those companies have all come from a long line of Coach Builders/Craftsmen/Fabricators, who's skills **actually influence ** car manufacturers, and subsequently their design and production dynamics. One thing you can guarantee, is that such vehicles are built to the *highest* standards. And because Limousines/Funeral Vehicles/Hearses, by virtue of their modifications (effectively creating an entirely new vehicle), are still subject to NCAP Crash Testing, just like any other manufacturer.
Absolutely not the same. Standards have to be adhered to abd inspections completed before specialist vehicles such as limos and hearses can be used on the road.
Would be amazing to get Bernie and Leepu on
Thanks Trevor. Yes to the Maybe Bernie interview.
The "ok Sunshine" at the end of Bernie's call sounded ominous .. hahah
I thought the same thing 😂
He's a bellend
Do the interview with bernie just have a bleep button at the ready
Skip button more like
Ask him if he really got the van stuck or was it just for tv
Please interview Bernie Fineman!
I messaged him a few weeks ago just b4 the first video he’s obviously been watching 👀 be good to hear off him
Thanks Oscar have a great Christmas. Well here I am looking at the Persian gulf on my day off & you have just gone & given me an idea on what to do with my baja bug back in Blighty.
Sounds great! Do send us pictures...!
@@oscarsgarage447Will do. Thanks for the motivation, it's very appreciated.
Great video Trevor...you get a like before I even watch the show...keep up the great work! Chop Shop was a must watch for me...every rule broken, and the "bog" & bodgy work, was why I watched it! I am so surprised they actually weren't "Chopped up"!
I appreciate that!
I'd love to see an interview with Bernie. What were the Krays like and what Kray cars did Bernie work on?
Striking yet unattractive Unique yet not desirable Six wheels when four were fine Where do you store stuff? El Camino vibes without the utility. British custom high-end oddities of this era such as the spitfire tank engined giant hooded atrocity are pure cringe. Brunei's sultan was buying every AMG they could build yet Britain didn't think to go in that direction of cars that looked, handled and drove spectacularly. Hesketh motorcycles were the exception, and they've been fine tuned after 50 years and are now in production. The pictures at 7 minutes 20 seconds remind me of a lawn tractor with its body work off. Excellent documentation. A suggestion: put your motorcycle as a feature in the background as opposed to hidden away behind stuff.
Suggestion heard, but the kit car I'm sat on is also a feature...
@oscarsgarage447 I missed that 👀 Could only make out the handlebars What bike & car?
Yes to Bernie!!
Yes definitely go for Bernie interview Trevor, I'd like to ask which was his favourite show he worked on, that mot advisory is epically funny 😂
Great video Trevor 👍 What a legend Charlie is 👍
Definitely, an interview with Bernie would be ace. 😊
Insuring this car must’ve been very fun.
Hmmm, getting all that detail into the little box 😂
Don't understand why the chop shop boys just Q registered all their creations, they could have done it while building them and made things 100% easier, unless the rules were different back then? Idk, you should definitely do the Bernie interview!
Would still have had to submit vehicle for a Single Vehicle Approval even for a Q plate
I remember seeing this on trade plates as Robert would often drive it to his house 'westwinds' in Oatlands at a lunch time in the mid ''70's.
I always thought Bernie was Gregg Wallace
He likes the bass bass bass, he likes the buttery biscuit base.
What a monstrosity 😂
yeah ..but it is still going .. ugly it may be .. but it is trooper
I’ve never heard of chop shop but it seems like a terrible show
It was fun to watch in a strange kinda way If you love oddball engineering, you’d probably like it too
The cars were utter shite, was good entertainment though.
Unsinkable, I am sure they said that about another boat in the past.
@@shanethrelfall416 I dunno about engineering but if you wanted to see structural parts badly welded and riveted together and slathered with inches thick with filler it was a master class 😂
The concept was this: Two blokes, an aggressive cockney and a fiery Bangladeshi would meet a minor celebrity who gave them a brief to build a special car. What followed was an hour of arguing and shouting, sourcing a jalopy with 300,000 on the clock for £800 and a lot of messing about with angle grinders and body filler. Usually 30 seconds before the paint shop guy would arrive with his trailer, the car would be “finished” and then they’d argue about what colour to paint it. Car would be completed with again, seconds to spare. They’d take it to a test track where it would inevitably break down or leak every fluid from every connection. Eventually the day would come where the minor celebrity would collect the car and pretend to love it at the unveiling ceremony. That was most likely the last time the celebrity saw the car as I’m sure most of them wouldn’t want that shit on their driveway. Or at least the neighbours wouldn’t.
Gotta do the interview with Bernie be good to hear about some of the background of Chop Shop
Them cars.picard meme comes to mind
