wow, this came up after today's campervan vid 01-08-2022. 3 Years and you can tell how much this channel has evolved. No sign of Chris and the Ferrari is in the workshop! loved every minute of it 🙌
Absolutely lost for words. This is a bargain and a half. Its all about being in the right place at the right time. Well done mate 👍🏾 The length of the video was spot on 👌🏾
I wheeled and dealed in motors years ago, at least 18. After replacing the wife's damaged wing and bumper, then thanks to you tube for recommending you, I think I wanna start doing it again.
Cheers 😊
Madmonkey watching this makes me want to get back into it too.
What a brilliant guy you are, so knowledgeable and helpful, i wish you were my local mechanic, you sound so passionate about you job. Great videos keep them coming
what a turnaround! I completely agree it would have been worth it just as a parts car, but that will make a nice motor for someone. just had a look on autotrader I can't believe how much these go for even with high mileage!!! fair play for making it the cheapest in the country 👏👏
Love a wee gem of a deal like this, can’t beat em
@jamiecivic Weird comment, considering you just watched a video that shows the exact opposite to your comment.
Only just found your channel. I’m addicted!
Grand video 👍
Enjoyed the longer content.
The "tips and tricks" you mention when doing the rebuild are very handy. Thanks 😎😎
The Hawaiian your welcome mate cheers for the support
Those muilti jets diesels are brilliant engines, very reliable too, nice buy Rob, loving these videos 😎
Just done a hpi check it’s had 2 owners from new and its unrecorded 👌
Easy money big chap... get in .
Please more videos to come 👍👍
Great video, want a little fiat for my daughter.
Thought copart was a American thing....I'm wrong again
Thats an absolute bargain for the money, can't believe how easy the ignition barrel etc.. was to do. And a nice profit in it as well, you done well there :)
Where in the country is copart any down south ?
Great entertainment, obviously you were born to be a motor trader and repairer.
You remind me so much of a garage that I used for more than 45 years.
Walk in the garage, you don’t know who the boss is, because he is wearing overalls and gets his hands dirty.
Best wishes, will keep watching your next projects.
OMG...what a bargain Rob nice car ..and the knowledge you have for these cars is great too .great video and glad your feeling better in yourself.
I am in no way interested in cars but your videos are really good and your enthusiasm and knowledge very entertaining. Thank you so much.
Bloody hell, what a result... cracking little car
Drove one from Dover to Cornwall to Chester ..to Heathrow .. absolutely brilliant
What a great result, love the video's and the plain speaking honesty is refreshing and makes a pleasant change. You can tell you've been in the game a long time you know what your talking about. Look forward to more video's
I cannot believe how many times you say "I cannot believe that." It's unbelievable
What an absolute bargain! Will be a nice little car for someone, plus make you some decent profit. Great video, keep up the good work fella
what a bargain and great work turning it round in a day, should sell quick! popular colour too
PS: I enjoyed the longer video
Absolute deal there fella. I used to love going Universal salvage at it was back then. I’d buy 3 or 4 stolen and recovered a week. Thanks for sharing
Had some bargains from Universal Westbury, best one fully striped motorway police Rover 820...drove it home put it on the drive and 10 minutes later blue lights turning up thinking I had stolen it 😂
Nice work - another potential scrapper rescued because you’ve got your wits about you... that Multijet will do another 100k miles, so a great buy for someone!
Thanks Rob for passing on your knowledge, good bargain, nice work.
Really intrigued with your work my friend,very clever and rewarding.The Range Rover was very good business.Its being in the right place to make a few bob,I admire you for sticking at it cos I bet it was tedious at times.Congratulations.
The 500s are such cute lil cars! I love their design, specially on that white on white colour
True its a cute little motor but it looks very light blue to me not white.
Better than the BMW Mini. Overpriced and overrated.
Cracking little motor and a nice bit of profit. Well done.
@SalvageRebuildsUk01 how do I do that?? 😂
Whoaaaa!!! Nice buy. I have a 2017 Fiat 500 Pop. It's been serviced 2 times since I got it. Both times, the service advisor tells me, you have a great car!!! There is not one thing wrong with it! It feels great to have someone tell you that. Quick turn around on this car. You'll get a nice penny for it also!!!
always a pleasure to see your adventures .. Keep up the profitable dealing .. You cannot beat being your own boss.
Absolutely love the video. It’s a nice little job if you can find it. Thank you. Well done
Love your vids nice to see an honest car dealer well done 👍
That sill damage was caused by half arsed tyre fitters putting the trolley jack in the wrong place on the sill, its happened to my brothers 500`s 3 times.
What a result though, nice one!
It's even proper marked on a fiat.. 🤦🏻♂️
Same thing happened to mine.
Or, he did say that it was loaded by forklift truck. But yes, Fiat 500 are notorious for crushed sills from poor jack placement.
You see the same type of cill damage on transit vans they can’t be jacked up like a car have to go under the wishbone mount
Ive done it on one of my old cars but it wasn't as bad as that Fiat 500.
Keep finding little Jems💎 on this channel brilliant 🤩 👏
I’ll admit they’re not the most manly of cars but I’m a 48yr old man and i absolutely love my little twin air 500, charismatic, economical and soon much fun to drive. Had it 4 years, service myself with no problems. Going for the Abarth next year 🥳
You are very lucky to have so litrtle to do to get it back on the road. Youi are the man!!!
Great video Rob, haven't watched it for a few weeks, sorry you've been poorly, a dose of Scottish air is what you need
It's more than just clean and neat, running fine and ready to go... that car has personality! The color and style will appeal to a lot of buyers. What a stroke of good luck. Amazing that you held in there against the counter bids, great work! 😁👍
I got a 2010 petrol with 40k for not much more than that. Came out at about £950 including fees. It’s worth sticking to your guns with those offers on reserve cars. Personally I wouldn’t touch a diesel but nice car. Love that colour.
Loving the videos keep it up buddy!!!! Gonna start looking for the little gems on those auctions!!!
Keep doing exactly what youre doing mate - love watching your videos.
I am an hobby salvage repairer and its very interesting to watch your persuits.
I do watch the main US salvage repair channels but they are heavily sponsored and although great to see supercars being worked on, I do want to see the more run of the mill stuff like I work on - and of course in the UK!
I dont think i'll be buying much more from Copart now due to their increasing fees.......
Good luck and keep it up!
Jon Hall thank you 🙏
"And when i brought it,i brought it". You London types always make me smile with the lingo. Long may our accents continue across this land. :)
And Alley/Alloy
great video, loved it, nice to see you getting a bit of luck with the starting of it ,well done.
What an interesting video. No idea why UA-cam recommended this, but thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening.
Boiled Octopus thank you your comment is very much appreciated
I wish I were in the UK right now to buy it! That color and color combo on the interior makes it soooooo cute! I ❤ it
Lynn Bindert cars are not meant to look cute go get a pedal bike you idiot
Watched 3 of these vids now and subscribed. It's good to see honest youtubers, look's like I have a bit of content to catch up on :-)
Dean Prosser thank you
Love the videos it like watching a down to earth version of wheeler dealers
Michael Winch 👍
Cracking Job. Nice little car for someone
Fantastic job! You make it look so easy! Well done!
Cracking wee bargain and a quick turnaround......it doesn’t get much better 😁 loving the longer vids 👍🏻 glad you’re feeling better.
Oh my god... this is my old car!! It was stolen in June 2019, found by police in August but I had already got money from insurance so I let it go. The reason the drivers seat is so dirty is because someone tried to break in to it at the end of 2018 and they had messed up the door panel so lots of rain came in for 6 months, hence the mould - I got it fixed a month before it was stolen. Also the chain isn’t worth anything lol, it’s just a sausage dog necklace from ASOS. And just to say, this is an absolutely shit car! I had so many issues with it I was very glad to see it gone, good luck to the next owner.
Good story - you're the winner! :)
Imogen Dyson It's always amazing when someone tracks down their old car, no matter what time frame or whether they liked it lol
Someone must be loving the car because it's got a private plate on it now. :)
@@Highran56 Another UA-cam viewer perhaps... ;)
Thats crazy! :D
Nice car rob love your videos keep up the hard wrk
Keep that up,Mr Arthur Daily
and you will soon be a rich man, good video short with plenty of detail, proper sales man......💰🚗
Brilliant video mate really enjoyed that well done
What a lovely little car.Great runabout and what a difference a wash makes 😀 Agree with a previous comment lucky sod if I had bought it engine would have been knackered or something equally as bad ...........
Nice result pal we all need them from time to time.
Good video, awesome turnover if a smashing little car.
Like the longer video nice when you get a nice little turn around they don’t seem to happen to often 👍🏻
This is the 3rd video I have seen and can't wait to see more good stuff
I don't deal or tinker with cars ( don;t know how i got to this clip lol ) but really found this interesting.and enjoyable to watch.Would like to know what your you sold it for in the end.
robert smith thanks you mate appreciate your comment and support I update every couple of days
@@sruk but you ignore the really useful questions ;)
Mike White ?
@@sruk my apologies. Just watched the video and you said what the advertised price was. Congrats on being very lucky with the car.
Excellent video too. Very, very useful talk through on how to do the fixes you mentioned. Tripped over your channel by accident because of the Copart link, but will watch more :)
Mike White cheers mike 👌

Stevie Athers. Thank you 👍
Hi Rob,what a result!!,a few things done and back on the road as quick as that,you have got a nice car there.😁
Cool Videos Please keep them coming .
HI Rob - Fantastic little car great value for someone - Keep the videos coming - glad you're feeling better - Kind regards Clay.
Have commented on another vid. Just amazed by your knowledge on so many different car makes.
A replacement ignition barrel or door lock from a scrapyard can be brought to a good locksmith and rebuilt to fit the original key.
wow you lucky bugger . brilliant car.well done
My missus has had her Fiat 500 10 years and had no idea about a secret compartment.😂 I just amazed her.
excellent vid mate well done
That's a nice little win there....
Wow well done
Another quick flip & nice profit return. Such a popular car on the buyers market 👍
Top work and goes to show the smaller cars that are easier to work on is where the money is, always a market for them. Be lucky fella
I love these little cars. Fiat did such a great job re-creating the 500. And I continuously think it's funny that they had a 500cc engine in the original. My mum drove one for a while 50+ years ago. But that was then, this is now, and they are a quality car. What a bargain though!
Absolutely mint mate. Top job buddy.
Well done Rod
Nice MPG id drive it the way it is..great little touring car for going fishing and camping..
What a result! I don't know how you do it - well done Rob!!
Just discovered this channel and finding it addictive !
Nice little car there rob 👌👍 longer videos are always better to watch keep the content coming mate 👍😁😁
Brilliant videos keep it up
Pretty nice car especially for the money, where you planning on listing the sale. I'd be interested in checking this one out! Cheers
What a steal, nice motor
Excellent video
Nice nice nice nice nice £1,000 profit then .... very much enjoyed thank you
chooselife3000 I mate £460 after tax 👍
I was on the edge of my seat as you started it on the flatbed. It was like a tense thriller👍
great vid! just found the channel, subscribed. great work
Hi Rob sorry it’s probably a silly question but on a lot of your videos I don’t understand when you win a bid at auction then they ask for more? What’s that about? Surely a winning bid is exactly that? I’m fairly new to this but really enjoying all your videos keep up the good work mate 👍🏻
Most of the vehicles have a reserve and if its not reached they try and squeeze more out of the highest bidder. If we win a vehicle we will stick at original bid out of principle. Sometimes they accept and other times it goes back through the auction the following week.
@@sruk ah right ok. Thanks so much for taking time to reply 👍🏻
