I love buying crash damaged cars! The thought of being able to buy your dream car for a fraction of the price and learn so much about it whilst you rebuild and restore it is amazing to me. I went to Copart to look at some more potential projects including a Porsche 911 GT3, a Bentley Continental GT & more! Question is which one do i buy?

I work on Porsche’s for a living and I can promise you that you will never regret owning a GT3. I genuinely can’t name a better Porsche for you to buy for the price, the sound, the experience, and just the feeling of hearing that engine scream at 9k rpm’s while you’re driving around the track. Genuinely an amazing experience on its own
RS
Gt3 all day
GT2 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Dream car
I work for microsoft and I disagree
Nice to see Hannah getting more comfortable in front of the camera.
I think it's so cool how much she helps and supports Mat in all his projects. She's a real one.
@@markymarkvancity If I was Mat I'd put a ring on her.
Yep she’s a real sweetie and deffo adds to the channel 👍
I don't think she knows anything about cars. Women wanting more!it's not her show.. loosing subscriber! Old top gear vs new top gear!
@@ThePhashe tell me your joking
Found this channel randomly and immediately got attached to it. I think i have watched around 80% of the videos in this channel. And i'm enjoying every bit of it. This channel is going places i assure you guys. Geep up the good work.👍👍👍
Sorry Mat.. You're from Leicester and i'm a Chelsea fan since 2008. And i'm sorry Leicester is doing so bad this season.
Mat - the channel is excellent. There's a nice balance of technical and enthusiasm. I greatly admire your mindset in the amount of research you put into aquiring the parts and fixing up the cars. As for this project, get BOTH the Bentley and the GT3. Hannah will thank you for it and you know that Bentley's nagging at the back of your mind. But .... the opportunity of that GT3, in a gorgeous blue shouldn't be missed. You'll look back and say "I wish I'd bought that ... when I had the opportunity".
I think the Cayman has shown that there is a lot of interest in porsches in the community which is why I think it would be smart to do a GT3
No one’s really done a Bentley rebuild tho
Bentley deffo
Yeah but compared to the cayman, imo the gt3 looks so ugly from the front and doing another porsche would also be pretty boring
His already done a Bentley
@@DonAl_Capone He’s done the Bentley Continental GT already
When Matt uploads you know it’s a good day
That is true. think they should take the Bently
*Mat
Matt BOTH
Sounds like a line from a Carry-on film, oo-er missus. ;)
Man, it's so pleasant to see how full of energy you are, it's truly inspiring. Thx you for all of your work and videos.
Your enthusiasm and passion come through so clearly.Really enjoy your rebuilds.On this Porsche you kept saying a straight 6,but I know you meant flat 6.Thanks for what you do.
Might be a headache restoring all these beauties but for us viewers it’s just amazing to watch. And for you matt the end result is gonna be worth it brother
It would be my dream job restoring those cars
Im sure the GT3 has rear wheel steering, keep that in mind Mat, then again its deffo a journey to watch and no doubt must be a wholesome experience to work on different machines with different specs for a living.
Living the dream dude, keep at it.
Hi Mat, your energy and enthusiasm to keep doing this is inspiring. You seem like a top bloke who is very humble.
Was literally just watching salvage rebuilds uk and rob was looking at these cars through the fence and here we are ahah
I'm a big fan from South Africa
Same
Me to
Big up sa
Yebo yebo
Are you from South Africa
Keep buying! And keep up the great videos! I love all the content you keep putting out every week! Hope you picked up the GT3!
Had exactly that gt3 in yellow , and I can tell you it’s the nicest car I have ever driven in my life , I don’t regret anything more that selling my gt3 , it’s so nice for everyday usage aswell as a track monster , I also think 98 percent of your viewers would love to see the rebuild on this and see you on the track with it after , get the Porsche !!!😂
Buy another one then!!! 😅
@@ahmf155 lost my buisness unfortunately so no more Porsche :(
@@lucajens7663 Ooof hope u recover lad
Awesome vid Mat, definitely a hard choice between the GT3 and W12. Keep up the sick vids 🤙🏼
Really love seeing you and Hannah hanging out and joking and laughing!
That Bentley looks so 😎 cool. Loving the chrome mesh grills and that interior…..wow. I’m on Hannah’s side Bentley every day. You still have a Porsche Matt in your garage so best of both 👍
I'm sure those chrome mesh grills are pure plastic
You cant compare the normal Cayman with this GT3. The Sound is killing it at 9000 rpm and its 1 of the best Sportscar ever.
The Bentley - convertibles have what’s called a ROPS - roll over protection system. So upon impact if it was to flip, that shoots out at the back as you have no B pillar to protect you
Man, love your positive energy and passion for your craft. Really enjoy your content.
This variant of the GT3, absolutely stunning! And I don`t think the Porchse will run you more than 30k in repairs and it will have a higher residual value at the end of the day.
obviously you have no any clue how expensive repare is on this car,at least 70000e will cost it so it is not good buy
@@MrZoranbebek have you watched even one video on this channel? Mat doesn't invest that type of money in his rebuilds dude. Just 'cause you have to drive your car to the dealership to have a bulb replaced for 100$, doesn't mean we all follow that route. You obviously have no clue when it comes to DIY. Luckly, you have youtube and you can have a crack at it.
@@dmariusg I am very impressed with your knoledge,keep goung dude.
Only the rotors in ceramic can cost 20k. maybe the back ones for only 8k....
Love to see that GT3 being repaired by you Matt. Get on it.
As a rough guestimate, the gt3 is into 60k plus repair... dependent on the pillar. Bear in mind the materials used in the construction and methods required to repair it.
GT3 (it's a flat 6 by the way not a straight 6) LOVE THIS EPISODE! And you two have great chemistry.
I love Hannah she is a savage with her one liners, she needs to be more in the videos !
Love your delivery - your enthusiasm is infectious - I was there with you on the crash damage reccy of each vehicle - that’s the beauty of watching your vids
Keep up the tip top work loving the Hannah interaction
Bentley for me it’s beautiful- but I’m old
The best part of this video was the protective glasses and the high-vis. Made everything Hannah and Matt said seem so officially scientific 🤓
I used to do this myself. I would stay away from airbags personally .. but it seems you have fixed quite a few and have all that figured out. Also depending on the structural damage, we would use a “frame machine” (not a real frame machine) but had it almost down to a science. Cheers mate, keep up the good work . Get a 1st gen McLaren F1 if you can. I believe that’s the ultimate machine!
I think I'd go with the Bentley. Also, Hannah's a natural on camera. She should definitely feature more and the chemistry between you both is great. Fantastic channel
the gt3 is so much better
@@reclose5217 but more common and looks like every porsche. Bentley is art.
Porsche's seem ten a penny now, I did an hour driving yesterday and saw 7 Porsches. That Bentley is another level or two up from that Porsche.
@@Signal11th not gt3s 💀
@@fernandomaximotorres gt3 is not more common
Hands down the GT3. In my opinion it’s a better car for your channel as the community clearly likes the Porsche content, plus that gen of GT3 was amazing. The Bentley is really nice and to have that W12 engine would be awesome as nowadays that kind of engine is starting to be a thing of the past, but… come on, it’s a Porsche 911 GT3 for god sake, get that!😂
Why are they waiting so long to give this lad his own TV show imagine that he'd be great to see how he does it all from start to finish,, love his videos and I'd love to see it happen,, sending you all the best of luck in the world from Eire
Exactly what i was thinking
Matt is such a upstanding guy😚,Great he pushing the parameters on his purchases lol..He doesn’t just buy cars he ‘Dates them’ lol..Enthusiasm comes across,We the Petrol head fraternity luv all things cars.Luv the Bentley
wow Quality Supersedes everything
Great Channel
peace🕊
Can we just take the time to admire how well he drops in the sponsors every video
Yeah he is good at that. I watch the sponsor bit because I think it is so smoothly done. Some of the Americans are so cringe. I draw the line at men’s moisturising cream though!
@@TheRonaldbaxter some geezers have dry skin what’s the issue there lad? 🤔
When you’ve been here since day one these comments are boring lol
@@TheRonaldbaxter what's wrong with men moisturising and looking after themselves? Just because you're a jippo
All the way from South Africa ....Go for the porsche Mat.... imagine all the performance mods you can do to that beast
Howzit! I agree with this man here. The garage definitely needs another Porsche in the stable.
A real Porsche 🔥
I dont get why you would waste money on a perfectly good performing as stock, car. Adding all the boy racer bolt on "Halfords" goodies just cheapens it IMHO
With the remarkable direction GT3 prices have gone (and continue to go) there is really no debate. Don't get excited about the CGT interior quality, it is actually only skin deep with cosmetic improvements over the last gen but the actual substance and build was better in the earlier models.
(You prob got all hung up at the moment and i am sure you do know, but you were often referring to the Porsche as a straight six).
Voting for the GT3.
911 is by far the toy to have. The lunch control is simply amazing, the way it looks blows your mind then the sound omg it’s heaven ❤
Hannah: “All Porsches are the same” yes, girl you are right! Also: Happy wife, happy life! So I’m looking forward to the Bentley series 😅
I have a similar saying "happy wife.......skint !"
Lol, skint lol
Your right 👉
Definitely the GT3. That engine is just next level, especially if you get an aftermarket exhaust. I’d definitely say Dundon Motorsports sounds the best on the 4.0.
Love how that Bentley dash wraps around into the door like one continuous piece. Hope you buy it.
Love the channel Mat. I've watched nearly all the rebuilds. I would love to see a damaged transporter or maybe ford custom in the future. Could rebuild to a camper.
Matt I love the Porsche 911 GT3 it is such a amazing car and a beauty too! BUT I feel like I’m going to have to go with Hannah on this one. I think you can do something really nice with that Bentley and it will be abit different to your current fleet of cars. Much love keep up the amazing work 💯
@Mat, can't wait for the day you hit a million subscribers. 💯 The excitement I get everytime I get a notification that uploaded a new video
Mat and wife you are both good guys thanks for the video
FYI on people considering purchasing wreck car beside the obvious salvage title. When a car gets in a wreck a lot of times the transmission/gear teeth get sheered from the sudden stop of wheel spin
.
omg do it. that GT3 is dream car material right there.
You Matt and Hannah have made become a petrol head. I discuss your channel with all the guys on site now. Love everything you do its so exciting to watch x
Hi Mat, I saw that GT3 listed on the Copart auction. Fingers crossed you have bought it, as dead interested in seeing you work your magic!
👍👍
Bentley for sure hands down, I was sad when you go rid of the other one. Love the Bentley build
I'll definitely go for the Bentley, that spec is one of a kind.
Think how hard that dash is gonna be to get right, that’s what tips the Porsche for me
Yeah, but as he said, Bentley does not sell parts meaning that dash would be a hell to find in the exact same trim
Bentley is good for more content, more views and so on
That Bentley is lush. I liked the first continental but the interior of this one is amazing
It will depreciate like a stone
Matt, it’s got to be the Bentley, just has that touch of class ! The GT 3 is stunning but the Bentley tweaked with a touch of Armstrong subtle styling oooooooooooh I’m dribbling at the thought 😍
Just get both of them!! That Bentley is breathtaking and the Porsche is a dream. Load them up and take them home. The content you can make out of these two builds👌
Loving the show Matt, you could go onto FX, or Hulu just like Welcome to Wrexham. I'd go for the Bentley, that Mulliner interior is something else.
Definitely the GT3. Matt is right about the Bentley, to get that spec'd dashboard might be impossible.
That Bentley though…. You need Bentley redemption!!! Maybe you could convert it into a hard top?? I have no idea lol. Don’t get me wrong, the Porsche is nice too. Hannah’s always got great taste in cars 👌
Matt, awesome content . Highlight of the week . Question , ever thought of doing a viewers daily driver with a makeover ? Thousands would love that. Would make great content also. Would gladly offer up my Jag XF . Keep up the great work. Been following since the start.
The soundtrack is what keeps me watching till the end ❤️❤️❤️
The Bentley is a great colour combo but I do think you'd get more out of the Porsche, including headaches😀, as well as content. Saw the Aston on the A46 heading towards Lincoln last Friday lunchtime, only for a second or two but it looked great in the red👍
If you can buy both do it. Win win for both of you and loads of content, get Hannah more involved with the Bentley rebuild
Mat you spoke about your attraction to accident damaged cars. - Being before your time you may not have know of J.G. Ballard's book Crash. He showed a his accident damaged car in a show at the ICA gallery in the mall. Below is a link to him musinig about the car in relation to our psychology. Trigger warning, It is not 2020's PC. - But then he was child internee in a ww2 Japanese prisoner of war camp.
The Atrocity Exhibition (JG Ballard and the Motorcar) [1970] on You tube
Great video Mat. That GT3 is very cool. 70th anniversary decals too, nice 👌
Mat always with amazing project ideas
11:58 100Nm of torque is normal for doing up a centre-lock nut and normal wheel nuts! also they dont use a huge long breaker bar to get it off there is a thing called a battery operated impact wrench.
Bentley for every day use and Porsche for fun. Perfect combination.
The Bentley 🔥 🔥
I’ve just bought 2 cars from co part as a result of your channel 🙈😂. Loving the challenge 👌
Which ones did you buy?
@@tristanridder4721 Starting small . Ford Fiesta and a Ford Focus both 12 plates but already stripped and parts on order 👍
@@bigsaxplayer6344 video it and put it on UA-cam. Would be good to watch something more simple
@@jimjamthebananaman1 Cheers mate . Something I will look at . I was a mechanic 30 yrs ago . A bit rusty but still have knowledge 👍
Obviously the GT3 ❤
Can’t wait to see what you could do with such a great car !
3:23 i’m wondering what have to pay when you order just an engine for this car somewhere. I’ll reckon that 3500-5000 would be a great price for this car. Sell it in parts and it might be a bargain..🤷🏻♂️😋 So Mat, find yourself another or bigger shop, and buy it! 3500 max tho.. 😉😋 i wish we had a copart overhere 👌🏼
love both the bentley and gt3, love your channel Matt, keep up your amazing work. greetings big fan from norway👌😃
I'd go for the Bentley because that's the car you wish you never got rid of plus Hannah likes it, happy wife happy life 👍
I'm torn: on one hand the Bentley is super posh, and that interior is STUNNING! However, the dash repair is almost a deal breaker on it. I'm old and would appreciate the Ride/Comfort of the Bentley over the race oriented GT3. That Porsche looks like an easier, and far cheaper repair than the Bentley (especially with the front structural damage) and not to mention the joy in your face when you were fawning over the GT3! Or, buy them both? If the entry price is cheap enough, why not?
I’d go for Porsche. That’s been on my personal bucket list for a while now. You can wake battery with low voltage thru license plate lights and then open the bonnet. Cheers, Mat!
As I am really a Bentley guy, I would normally say: Take the Bentley. But honestly: The roof will cost you a lot to repair or replace, as well as the front fender holding structure and, as you said, the dashboard. Because this car is pretty new, it might be more expensive than your last Conti GT.
Because of that, I would tend to the Porsche. It's pretty cool, the damage seems to be repairable for a budget that seems to be okay. And hey, it's a GT3.
As soon as I have repaired my repair shop, I'll go and try to make some things work on my mostly burned Continental GT.
Greetings from Germany

I gotta say, Hanna is a great sport and has been there wrenching with you. If she likes the Bentley.....put a ring in the glovebox because she deserves it. (Thanks Hanna I got the check and cashed it!).
So many comments but you have to give credit to Oscar he stuck with it till the last minute his loyalty to you and your vision is phenomenal. Gods speed
hey Mat, for a second i thought you were going to see the Fiesta ST in the background there, it would actually be cool to see cars that are some what affordable to the average guy. Something sporty though like a Polo Gti too
Mat, the Bentley is sick!!!! It would be nice to see a convertible on the show... The interior is beautiful 👌
It makes me so happy to see this channel is growing big so fast! Well deserved man!
Judging by my former Bentley Turbo R if you get a Bentley to scream you possibly get to hear the clock purring. But I suspect that the modern Bentleys have possibly given in to the current trend of wailing, with the driver pretending that he is Stirling Moss, as immaturity sweeps the nation following routine attendance at playground universities. Leaving school at 14 (like my father) has been usurped by 24 years. Hannah is unusually mature and quite classy. Best rely on her judgement if you have any mature customers. She recognises an exceptional sterling mixture of both vehicle quality and pampering class - the Bentley!
The GT3 would be such an awesome build. Hope you get it!
Gotta go with the Bentley, that trim is absolutely amazing, chances are you'll find more GT3's like that
huh?
@@user-tq2zt6or9c they said "Gotta go with the Bentley, that trim is absolutely amazing, chances are you'll find more GT3's like that"
@@x-ray3443 why on any planet would you choose and Bentley over any Porsche !!!
The porsche is definitely the more anticipated and exciting project. It’ll be more enjoyable to drive than the Bentley too. Keep up the good content mat!
There's usually a 'secret' bonnet release cable hidden behind the n/s wheel arch liner on Porsches - check the owners manual because you might have trouble connecting a jump pack to the positive terminal on the fuse board and the door catch on that GT3.
Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K
Recently found your channel Mat and loving it! Keep the content coming! 👍
Another great video. Hope you buy the GT3, it's a great motor, and Hannah will surely love it eventually :-) You guys rock, don't ever change.
You both are properly lovely people. I really enjoy what you guys do.
Big respect to Hannah, all porsches are the same !!
If i was able to do what you do Mat. I would get the gt3 as I imagine you wanted one before you got the cayman s. Then once the cayman s is finished raffle it off and put the money towards fixing the gt3. Keep up the good work man. Love the work and videos
This is crazy as these cars were in a Salvage Rebuilds video by Rob from the other side of the fence!
New subscriber here, glad you held of on this GT3 that purple one with less damage and no miles is a much better find. Congratulations.
Amazing story, I see myself and my future through your story
This is my decision and I made it from this moment after I saw your story, I will start my own business and I will start my studies on cars
Thank you very much, Mat
Probably not the most popular opinion, but I say go for the TTS! It would be brilliant to see you build up a TT again in the new-new shop with all your experience! You were so much more timid in that build, and to see you build a TT-take-2 with all your newfound knowledge and confidence would be dope.
Hey Mat , I think the Porsche 911 is the car to go for . It’s one car here in South Africa we’d choose over the Bentley 😅
Great Vid as always. Bentley gets my vote im with Hannah. Whats the music tracks you used love the first one as it pans to the porcshe. Cant wait until the next vid.
That golf at 1:47 had me for a bit😭
These videos always make me want to immediately buy an auction fixer-upper 😂
I was following this GT3 RS on auctin. One day I'll own one. Love the vids.
How much did it go for?
@@Visionist Last time i saw it, it was on 53k
looking at the tyres at 11:04 it doesn't appear to have been on track at the point of impact because the tread kind of gets sticky & beads to the edges of the tyre on a track and you can tell afterwards.
it sounds ultra posh, but when you realize that its illegal throughout scandinavia to use barbed wired as fence for your farm animals then its a bit more down to earth. Its not like the cattle or w/e has been raised ONLY for the purpose of making scar-free leather for Bentleys
-They just happen to have acces to leather where they can find larger pieces without imperfections, without hiding all the cuts behind clever use if stitches n folds, and so they use it.
The same leather is used for expensive handbags and no-name/no-brand leather clothings alike..
