That rattle sound you hear from underneath is probably the exhaust valve. It is probably spring loaded on this model and the valves are a problem on these record monza exhaust. So the spring is either gone or valve flap has parted from external lever where the spring attaches to.
Great to see you back. Sorry the business folded - a lot of dealers are looking for detail/valeters but I guess you know that! Family is great. Be good to see under the bonnet. Can't quite see why the car was written off/put through salvage auction. Exhaust noise due to forklift damage at Copart? Everyone uses Copart - might be worth being creative looking for stock elsewhere.
Sorry to hear about the business bud. That’s a cracking car there. I’ve had a fiat that had all the windows smashed….glass was everywhere. Eventually I’ll get the videos on here, but I need practice editing the videos…takes so long
Great start! If you're after any hints, tips or car parts, feel free to join your local Abarth Owners Club. Not sure what county you're from, but most counties have a group on Facebook and/or Instagram. Keep up the great work! -A fellow Abarth owner
Thank you! Lol don't worry I had moved the BMW over and opened the Abarth door fully before to check clearance. Also with knowing what my children are like I am always extra caucious.
I must admit I was looking forwards to seeing how much you got it for as well, as an owner of one myself 😊 just not the esseesse edition. Good excuse to watch the next one 😅 Welcome back from your unscheduled mini sabbatical good vid, nice tips and breakdowns 👍🏾
To be honest I am a little in love with it so think I will keep the car for a few months at least. When I come to sell I will post a video. Thank you for the comment 😀
They seem to have a bad reputation for being stolen they don’t come fitted with a factory alarm and immobiliser and that to me is insane in this day and age

Thanks I have joined the Abarth Owners Facebook group 🙂
Great video! Who was the guy that did the replacement keys for you?
Essesse's are mapped to 160BHP 😎.....also it has a Monza rear exhaust which are switchable via a valve.
Yes we found that out last week as a friend of mine said get a Monza for it and then when we checked it already has one. What a result!
Love the video. But potential door bashing your BMW next to it made me on edge all the way through.

So what happened to revealing the cost??
Still getting back into the youtube world but the cost will be in the new video this week.

My dream car, where/when will you be selling it?
To be honest I am a little in love with it so think I will keep the car for a few months at least. When I come to sell I will post a video. Thank you for the comment 😀
Did I some how miss the price you paid?
No, I missed it from this video, so I have included it in the next video that goes out this week.

Hey prince Harry what are you doing repairing cars?
Have to do something while Meghan is chatting with Oprah 😂😂
Get yourself a peddle lock these thing's go walkies on a regular basis and advertise the fact it has one with window stickers.
I am looking at security options so might do a video on that as well.
Currently I block the car in with another one for extra security.
