    Very High Peak Autos-esque presentation and transformation 😜 Just goes to show that you can polish some life into these older cars. £6995 though 😮

    Just goes to show you can with a little TLC bring back to a decent car, I think you where lucky to get a low mileage example to help the value,
    Well done, you definitely earned the margin
    Great vids, love to see more cars bringing back to life 👍

    It was interesting to see the change in used car values in the 6-7 years since it was last sold. Makes it cost effective to keep older cars on the road rather than just scrapped, probably a much more environmentally friendly option than buying a newer car with lower emissions on paper.

    Fantastic transformation. I would do the centre console though (even just scuff it up and paint it silver again) as it does take from the interior. Rest of the work is brilliant a great gross profit (heavy VAT bill though!). I’d really encourage more of these videos as I think you have the right platform and would really grow your channel - people love transformations.

    It always amazes me the state of people's cars. It's the second most expense after a house and the amount of cars with shit tyres that don't grip in the wet even when new is depressing. Not to mention worn out brakes and filthy interiors.

    some people just do not deserve to own a car. i have rules in my car i do not let people eat in it or drink anything with open container inc coffee even i do not eat unless it necessary for blood sugars but that very rare. im a smoker but id never smoke in car with windows up i lean towards fully open window. my car normally better than when i got the got. any many comments saying do i use my car because its always very tidy and organized. one thing what is very true is if your car a dump your home will be too ive seen it so many times. with me everything has its place and must stay tidy and rules to keep it that way. ive said to many if you do not like my rules you can always walk, if you hungry it will not be drive through we stop and eat or stop for coffee and get drink what cannot spill so ideally one those bottles you do not need to screw open. can have 5 years and it still just as good if not better than day i got it and as i said if your car a dump your home will be too. so many cars i class a write off when looking for a car even newer cars fully stained seats just no excesses for it and it took a long time to find one what has been cared for and no stained seats

    What you have demonstrated well is that general and regular car maintenance is key for keeping your car running smoothly for years. Love it

    Sad to see a vehicle allowed to deteriorate like that.
    Any vehicle is a significant investment and maintaining them in roadworthy presentable condition will extend their life exponentially.
    I would much rather buy a car maintain it and drive it to the end of its useful life span and get the money I paid for it out of it than buy a vehicle and allow it to deteriorate to the state this one is in with fairly low miles and sell it for pennies where if it was maintained it would have years of life left in it.
