A 205 GTI for £4,000 sounds like a guaranteed profit for Drew and Paul but there is a catch. In 2003 this car had an insurance write off and unless they can get it removed from the record it will seriously affect how much they can sell the car for.

I was just wondering if the original owner said he fixed it and it was back on the road within weeks, then why all these years later was the door damage still there!

Done again???

@openhighwayproductions Жыл бұрын

Exactly, the damage so just minimal and chose to drive it as is...

I was hoping they would drive it up to Bath to show the original owner their resto work and get his reaction

Car looks great… but Sorrento wasn’t an option in ‘93. Also those late 1.9s were really choked by the Cat. I should know as I owned L952PWK:). I’m back to an F reg now and they really feel much more raw and lively.

What a cool car. I remember driving one here in the States, but I couldn’t afford to buy it at the time. But what a fun car to drive 👍

This video showed a white car turning into a Sorento Green in the very next shot. Clearly it wasn't restored to original which is a shame.

But, “Condition Inspected” isn’t a truly clean record. So, no it’s not worth it.

You'll recognize the 205 owner if you've done nurburgring trackdays with DN Events or circuit days.

In france, every 25+ young businessman had a GTI. They were fun but after long journeys they needed to go back to the garage to get the engine tinkered with🤦🏻‍♂️

An envelope within an envelope. Possibly the outer envelope was addressed to the TV production company or Drew's 'guessed' business address - whatever Google turned up.
