5 жыл бұрынCollected this 147 after discussing the condition with the Owner and seeing limited photos. purchased it with a view to repair, how wrong was I. It need a lot of work to get it back up to scratch. unfortunately its not going to live for much longer.

Damn i was hoping, as you said 147's are getting rare, that you were going to save it. Looks like it was parked in a rough area all those dents shame you won't make any money on it... great interior and airbags intact and engine FSH... thanks for the vlog

The 147 got a poor NCAP rating and yet I know these cars are very tough, this ond must have taken a hell of a smack.

Could you please do a video on the best (ie home garage) way to remove the engine from a 147... as if you were going to do an engine swap?

The 147 are not very good on crashs, any time you have a direct hit in the frame rails or wheels that do a big damage you will crease the roof and sometimes even the floor. Good for parts that one :)
@ItaliaAutos 4 жыл бұрын
back in the day they where pretty good but standards have been lifted. most older cars wouldnt hold up well to crash standards.
