Enjoyed that.

Red would be my choice (and bronze wheels), but A110 > Yaris for me.

That’s going to be such a wonderful car when it’s done, the whole thing looks classy and useable.

There is a red Yaris around here and it looks amazing, when you see the rear diff it reminds you of a modern day I tergrale, 3 door Impreza etc.

Ah, I forgot this thread exists.

Bodywork done by a fucking plasterer. 20kg of filler removed.

Looks like the next video will have lots of metal forming/panel beating which will be enjoyable to watch :)

The only one I've seen irl was that colour; is nice, I like 8-)
I see most influencers are using theirs less and less. Maybe they arent that brilliant after all

For someone most people think of as an automotive expert and someone happy to give thoughts and opinions on all sorts of auction rarities and exotica, he doesn’t half buy some bodged up sheds :lol:

He has stated in the past that the Fulvia was bought knowing it was a bit rough, would need some work and wasn't expected to be remotely concourse, but I don't think 'most of the body is filler' was an expected part of the bargain :lol:

I think he gets excited and impulse buys a lot of stuff. A cursory inspection would have told him there might have been big issues with the Lancia, even just comparing it to a picture of one :lol:

I think in the past he might have excused some of the slight shape differences on the bodies being hand built/coach built so every one was a bit different.

Woopsy :D

Does anybody watch these vids or what ;) He saw the car as a child and wanted it no matter what condition it was in.

Ah yeah, I remember that now.

TBF, there is usually a good reason for buying the things he buys even if they're a bit sheddy. The Jag with a manual is a very cool oddity. The only one he doesn't really have an excuse for is the Artic Rolls but even that has a good story now.

Theres only so many videos people can make about a car:

Initial purchase and first impressions...
Modifications...
Road trips...
Comparison against competition...
Issues...
Then that's about it, so then all that's left is selling it.

And repeat for next car.

Nope, it definitely means it's shit and everyone got sucked in by the hype. Just like the coronavirus.
