this time on Flipping bangers we play it
smart that's quite exciting isn't it so simple so basic well done us well done this
was a cracking idea wasn't it we use all our skill and cunning he's genius isn't it but
sometimes the best laid plans oh it's going to be a beautiful work of art if it's not
hard work it's not worth having or just a hill of pain let's just rip it apart what oh
no well we bought it so we better get it out haven't we I don't think this is going to be
out to be done we'
ve said goodbye to our day jobs and invested our own hard-earned cash
as we try and make it in the Cutthroat world of second-hand cars you've got to buy well but
you've got to sell well we have a goal we need to double our money if we put 500 quid in we
need to see a thousand pounds back but we're forced to the very bottom of the market we buy
cars that nobody else wants who else that car can we keep our business afloat flipping
bangers there's so many things to do to this car returned our
backs on our regular jobs so to
carve out a new living by buying and selling cheap cars evicted from our previous Workshop
by Angry neighbors will has sorted us out with a new base and apart from having no working
toilet it feels like home we've raided our bank accounts and this time we have enough to
invest around 500 to 1500 pounds on each car you know what we need don't you um we need a
product of the Ford Motor Company oh Ford right okay I'm resisted saying that because I know
exactly
what you're going to say yeah exactly I know exactly what I'm going to say the prices
of those things are totally crazy I mean yeah okay a few years ago you could go out and get a
mark one two-door escort for a couple of grand and that was great I mean look two-door two liter
Pinto 20 grand that's why I never bothered saying it because but we're not going to be looking for
a Mark 1 Esco are we because I'm asking on escorts are stratospheric and I agree with you we're
not going to afford tha
t but what we're going to do is we're going to play a brilliant game
what we do is we go through all the old faults until we find the right level for likability and
profit what do you think let's give it a bash okay um mark one Ford Granada now you're talking
that is a great camera I love those cars they're brilliant I love the shape of them big fat
three liter v6 yeah what could be better than that but I'm just not entirely certain that's going
to work well for us okay Orion what about tha
t we can but they're a bit like an escort but not
very pretty in the pack styling is subjective and you have to be careful don't you because you can
offend people people like you people who look and act exactly like me so motion carried the Orion is
a good idea they're cheaper than escorts and have a good following right so I'm giving myself some
homework okay my homework was to find an Orion the right spec for us and I thought we'd get a gear
because obviously if you're going to buy an old
coma they'll buy the best spec car you can good
plan and a good gear will cost you five or six thousand pounds okay so then I set about finding
one for under three very sensible how's that going oh a blue one yes that's right for 1 895 English
Pounds uh well that's about half the price of what you've been saying so you now have my attention
well that's fantastic so now is the time for me to say that it does have a couple of little bits
of Badness about it that sounds about standard for us
and what are they well firstly it's not
been UK registered which strangely puts a lot of people off well isn't that amazing but we know
that that is quite a simple paper trail really but it's simple isn't it it is yeah the other
thing is that it's left-hand drive and that's okay isn't it so we should just enjoy the journey
well that does make things a little bit different and it does put a massive ceiling on our ultimate
value well it's Preston so we've got a good long time to think about i
t roughly four hours so
let's just buckle up and enjoy the journey many gallons of fuel later we
eventually arrive in Preston to meet Rick who sells Ford spares for a
living he picked up the Iran from Europe oh see that does look smart doesn't it yeah
hello Rick hey chaps don't get up I'm not upstairs that's all right yeah hello mate are
you okay oh I gotta say that is a pretty tidy looking car isn't it yeah it's not a button it
looks like to me that it's come from the sunny part Portugal
rather than the Rainy Pub south
Portugal that spot on um do you know anything about it I've had the right good loot around it
there's a little bit of rotten boot only something minor perfect that's good well that's fantastic
yeah can we have a look around it of course you can you're more than welcome for your boots I
think keys are in it won't go inside because I'm cooking all right see you shortly fantastic it
looks strangely disproportionate doesn't it that boot on there it does yeah now
remember at the
time that Ford's saying that they made it made booted escort because Continentals didn't like
the hatchback but it just it just looks weird doesn't look right with a line and it's absolutely
cavernous isn't it that is literally the size of a van in there oh it's difficult isn't it because I
mean it's so remarkably clean but it's got clearly got a lump off the boot there and there's a couple
of lines in the paintwork and it's got RS wheels on it hasn't it wouldn't have had th
ose would
have had probably would have had pepper pots would it I would have think yeah definitely and
bizarrely but because it's a continental spec it hasn't got a sunroof and and hasn't got side
repeaters which that's going to be a problem for us because it probably won't get through
an mot without side repeaters I wouldn't think oh it really sort of takes me back look at it so
simple so basic so you know utilitarian almost but Ford produced a good car here didn't they
they offered all t
he little things that people wanted to see on their new car look at that front
speakers back speakers left right that was cool in this day I used to love driving these things
they were pretty good interior is great but the door cards are the thing that really really let
it down so a little listen to the engine eagle hey wow oh that's amazing actually that is
really clean and tidy we're not going to make much difficulty selling something that's as
tidy as that no it's funny isn't it without
engine because it was so maligned wasn't it everyone
used to say oh the cvh's are so harsh and so rarely but actually they were really tough and
eminently tunable and this xr3i spec is I don't know 108 106 horsepower that's all I remember
is yeah yeah I mean they should go pretty damn rapid shouldn't it yeah shall I have a chat with
Rick and see if we can go out in it yeah yeah do Rick can we take it for a drive of course you
can you're more than welcome we will bring it back better ad all
right thanks the Ford isn't
legal on a UK highway but a private industrial estate around the corner allows us to drive around
as long as we don't break the speed limit sadly Will's behind the wheel but we know it looks half
decent on the outside don't we but we really need to ascertain whether it holds together while
you're driving the clunks that the rails the cracks and actually we haven't got a lot of Roads
we're gonna have to be quick aren't we uh yeah but I mean I can tell you already
it does feel quite
nice and the mileage which is wait for this 78 000 804 C1 kilometers Imperial kilometers Imperial
metric kilometers so that would be about 50 000 miles and that feels quite genuine I mean the car
feels tight could you give me a little bit more solid data on which to base my purchasing opinions
on well or in older cars and nowhere near as heavy as modern cars so they're lighter and easier to
drive yeah apart from the fact that it doesn't have power steering I mean it does
feel quite
Nimble it does feel kind of nice do we do want it or do we don't want it I can't say an obvious
way that we can actually make any money out of this car it's a great example of Orion I know it's
an Orion but it's a great example is yeah oh it is this is a Spanky little car yeah so surely you
buy the car you make the plan afterwards yeah so given it's a tight little motor we decide
to buy it but for how much it's on for 18.95. well I don't know I was thinking about 15. what was it
up for uh it's more than
that let's try and push it a bit all right champs yeah did it behave it is very
well good I mean what are you thinking deal wise on this um there's not a lot of wiggle room in
it what are you what are your thoughts this is a good one it is a good one yeah it is a good I
mean I was thinking about 1500 quid I don't know I was hoping we could try a little bit less than
that to be honest but a bit late for that now it is a bit low for that yeah what do you reckon I'd
l
ike 1800 quid for it and I'm not going to move much more than that really well I'm not going
to move at all 1800 quid it's got to be it's not worth me trying to push for a deal 1700 no no
it's cheaper well I think it's cheap enough yeah you know if you can put it against anything over
here it's yeah I mean personally I don't think 18 1800 is bad for it seems fair doesn't it it's got
to be really I really am I I do 1800 as well yeah yeah up it is we'll keep it on the trailer take
it away get
out my way brilliant excellent goodbye don't you worry about that cheers Rick's right this is a cheap car we don't
really know how much money we can add to it but we've been in worse spots so we happy yeah I'm
definitely happy yeah you yeah I am I mean we've got a wonderful car sat on the trailer looking all
perky and great it's all about making some Dosh isn't it that's the bottom line yeah and we we
compare ourselves on the back we've done what we set out to achieve we've bought a second-
hand Ford
that wasn't overpriced well done yes well done the next day the Orion sits ready for a right reel
going over hello world hello Ryan good morning guys hello will don't forget me a bit of a dream
last night about this car and in the dream I had a plan wow is it a dream that we're both going to
agree on I think we'll agree do you want to hear it yeah I do come on shoot so the Crux of this car
is its left-hand Drive yeah yeah left hand drive scared everyone off that's why we got the c
ar so
cheaply so we change it to right hand drive but we do that for under 500 pounds if we don't change
it and we do everything get it Road registered we'll be scratching at three four thousand pounds
if you don't need to right hand drive we'll be getting five thousand pounds wow okay uh I don't
know if it can be done well I think it's probably time consuming I mean it's interesting isn't it
especially from a mechanical point of view yeah no I agree if we don't do that this car becomes
fa
irly linear doesn't it that we do the dent we do the paint we find some pepper pot Wheels to put
on it and get it Road registered I mean I'm still going to do that haven't we yeah well I mean maybe
the thing to do would be to do all the things that we know need to be done to it and then see
what time we've got left shall we yeah okay well let's call that emotion that's been tabled and
carriage excellent okay should we crack on yeah it's on this side so I'm on snapping Duty and for
most angl
es the Orion looks decent I'm voicing the advert for our Orion and it's not
easy because there are some parts of the car that I can't really show yet like the dents in the
back might have different wheels on it it could be right hand drive by the time it's done and all
of these things really really affect the value of the car so I think I'm going to put in some
close-up pictures of the car and be relatively abstract with the description of the whole
thing as well it means there is almost no
thing to say hi Ford Orion low mileage was absolutely
rust free isn't it nearing completion for sure and more pictures to follow well that makes it sound quite nice but what price
do you put on something that does sound that nice we have been thinking along the lines of 5000
pounds that's going to be on a fixed price auction as well it's important market for these cars I can
also raise the price if I need to it later day so cleaning driving and now writing adverts another
job on the list th
at will will no longer be allowed to do so the Orion is in and we are locked
and loaded shall we have a go at the exterior of the car first uh yeah I think that's a great idea
the fierce Continental sun has faded the paint on the Bonnet I might give this a teacup see if it
comes out but yeah I think it's it's a nice I'm not entirely certain that will no it depends
how deep the paint is doesn't it I'll give it a go anyway um this is our main problem isn't it
yeah we can't get away from that
that's definitely going to need a tin of paint putting somewhere
near it and that what do you think well we need to have a little go at it I think it's a risk but I'd
like to have a little tippity tap tap at that and just see if I can bring it up a little bit better
yeah the trouble is with all these isn't it you see it and it actually it goes a long way doesn't
it it does yeah I just need to bring this corner out a bit if you if you're happy doing that you
do that I'll try take out in ther
e if that doesn't work I'll take the paint off of this cool okay
then and we can see how we get on with it all yeah cutting off the top surface often brings back
the shine but the paint has to be thick enough times better but is it right the trouble is with Tikka it's never not going to
be cracked and it's crazed and cracked all over it and I think we're going to have to go so far
through the paint to get past the cracks that will be into the primer or maybe to the metal I'll give
it a go w
ith a little bit of light wet and dry so 1200 grade and see if I can get down
to something that polishes up beautifully It's Quickly clear that the paint has faded too
much to be savable so I've taken that back as far as I think I can with wet and dry if I go any
further I'm going to go through the painting in actual fact where this is polished back up so I've
re-polished it it's a lighter color and I suspect it's going through to the primer actually we'll
need to paint on there there's no
two ways about it we mask up aside from the Bonnet we want to
cover all the areas where the lacquer has peeled right so the car's all masked up
just got to rub the paint off it now rubbing down is time-consuming tiring and not all that much fun and if it's not done right
you pay for it with a poor paint finish foreign at last a chance to knock things about the dent my managing to get it up by hitting it
along the ridge a bit ding ding ding ding ding and it's coming up slowly it's quite worry
ing
because I can only just sort of see it and the bootle is all flopping around I'm working
upside down but using a rubber Hammer gives me because it actually gives me a much better
impact than a metal Hammer it's like it kind of softens the blow but there's a bit here where the
crease is still quite deep right on this corner is to get the dense 95 right it's usually a bit of sandpaper on a block
I can see where all my high spots are started to take shape I'm quite surprised because
it's
such a nasty crease in such a difficult get through area you know I think I'm actually going
to be able to get this to the stage pretty soon now where it's only going to take a very thin
skimmer filler just to finish it off quite amazing after a bit of sanding and a bit of
primer we can see how we're getting on we're nearly ready for paint and so
the Badgers need to be priced away and I guess into the paint oh look at that which
we've had mixed locally using a forward color code thank you f
oreign Ty like this is much easier to work
with and comes up really nicely it needs to dry overnight so that is
a fantastic place to be stopping a local trip and also time for a confession
I had this idea about a right hand drive conversion and I really felt someone had
to see it through that's someone being me I found a car that has all the parts we would need that's what we're going to go and pick up yeah
that's the good news that's good news how much but that is the bad news it was a tho
usand quiz
what a clam I know I can believe it it's not that many years ago that I was taking these things to
the scrap yard I know it's weird isn't it that is crazy I guess it's just the fact that to the
right people the sum of those parts of a of a dead Orion is worth a thousand quid yeah that makes
sense and we do need all those parts don't we so yeah I mean theoretically we could possibly
sell off to bits we don't need the engine you know yeah we're gonna have to because a thousand
qui
d for the past we need that's on the Steep end it is actually in a field as well so it might
be a little bit of a path getting it out you are kidding me no oh well at least it should be
quite exciting I do like a challenge here good so although the price of the spare parts is
High We Stand a great chance of seriously improving the Orion and getting
our money back on the other end there it is well we bought it so we better get
it out haven't we yeah we've got my bushwhacker it's that well ba
ck yeah well that is
some tickle bro and stingers out oh oh get out now do you want me to go now I've got
my shirt it's actually attached to a rose bush I'll go and get the current trailer ow you bleeding much yeah yeah right it's right over
the other side oh well it would be wouldn't it we're using the tried and tested cooling method to get the Orion out of the
field it's ugly but it works foreign there is some sort of proverb about if it's
not hard work it's not worth having isn't it resp
ect and that's it we're now the
owners of two classic Fords we have five days to turn around our cars and
this is a number three the idea is that we make one good right hand driver Ryan from
a pair of them on paper it's very simple big day yeah yeah this is a big day a big
day of slightly unknowns as well what the weather hey the weather but B the unknowns
about swapping this car over to right hand drive yeah I am filled with enormous amounts
of dread at the moment can't wait to get stuck
into it because it's going to be worse proper
job isn't it yeah me too there's a lot to do though and yeah the only way to know if it's
all going to work fine is just do it but I do think you're right I think it's going to
rain I think we should put that in here yeah should we move this back yeah come
on oh no there's no steering wheel the old Orion has been off the road
a while and doesn't move easily here is this we strip the old
Orion of its steering rack and Dash as they're the main it
ems
we need to convert the car over thank you hey that's some pretty good Nick isn't it first
part of our left right hand conversion yes that's quite exciting isn't it it's a very
small part in a very large jigsaw puzzle yeah if you washed your hands of course I've washed
my hands look at that they are almost click well they're a lot cleaner on the side that I'm
going to be using I was just thinking something that in my mind this is our donor car yeah and
I'm like okay let's just rip it ap
art but this is actually the dashboard we need isn't it yeah
so if any bits get me slightly vexed or annoyed I've still got to be really careful with them
yeah yeah we've got to count to ten right okay but we've said this so many times over
the years cars of this vintage can be dismantled far faster than
a modern car but we've got to be careful and systematic as so many
of these items will be carried over that was close it broke it
you almost [ __ ] it thank you that's brilliant isn't it s
o we can actually
see what's going on in there now can't we all the wires come up from the back join up with the
harness come up round the driver's side because obviously that's the shortest route into the
fuse box there so to change it over fuse box has got to go that side which is slightly tricky
because on this side there's the battery yep and the bracket the battery bolts down to which is
welded to the body of the car yep so that lot would have to come out and go over to that side
and
it can't go this side because the wiper motor bracketry is then have to go this side and then
that makes that even more difficult because the wiper motor brackets are connected to the wipers
which are in the Scuttle and the holes are in that side of this Castle meaning that we would then
have to change the entire skull panel yeah and that scandal's had it it's completely watered
through yeah so massive problem yeah well it's sort of it sort of leaves us only really with
one option doesn't i
t at the moment yeah yeah to cut the loom yes extend it move it over to the
right side of the car where we need it yeah yeah do a nice neat tidy job on it though carefully
cut soldered joints everywhere no crimp up connections uh heat shrunk conduit oh it's
going to be a beautiful work of art I think it is going to be a workout do you think this
is a good time to take that one apart now and do a sort of compare and contrast yeah before
we get too deep into this and find ourselves backed int
o a corner that we just can't get out
of yeah shall we I think that's the way forward messing around with the wiring loom the only
way to make our conversion work isn't for the faint-hearted we have to tread very carefully from
now on you know Gus I'll come up with a good idea what's that well I think these wheels because
they look really really nice but they could do with a tidy up I think could get them refurbed all
right I leave gas to the meticulous unpacking of the wiring loom and take
the forward wheels from
the donor car for a refurb they're the desirable pepper pot design and this will be another way
for our donor car to give us some more value higher hello sir oh hi there hi how can I help I'm
will I called earlier yes but nice to finally meet you yeah I heard you've got a little project
going on with this yeah we have these These are the very sad sorry Wheels I told you all about
what I'm thinking is um a lovely white on the face of the wheel okay that makes it pop
that makes
it stand out what color is the car it's a nice sort of midnight blue sort of color perfect so
the white works with that yeah I'm thinking also if you look behind you here we've got a diamond
cut wheel here right so this is done by a very skilled lathe operator it will just skim away
the face of the wheel I think that we can't do that to that I wouldn't say on the whole face
maybe the outside lip of the wheel we can get that in a diamond cut finish with that mirror
machine like f
inish and then on the face of the wheel we can do that lovely gloss white to make
it pop how does that sound that sounds brilliant the guys chemically strip the wheels well I'm not
allowed to see that as it's their Trade Secrets the wheel is then sandblasted primed and baked the wheel then receives a glorious
coat of Ford glacier white foreign ly the CNC machine diamond cuts our
top lip away leaving a polished surface this gives it that extra level of
detail that we were looking for wow hap
py I am really happy it looks fantastic and
it's now been through every single one of the 139 processors that it needs to be done the only thing
left now is the one little bit missing I think that finishes off absolutely beautifully and you
know what it's been a real pleasure seeing exactly how this is all done as well cheers mate you're a
star thank you since gas blue a grand on the donor car was it so rash for me to Chuck another 300
quid at the Iran no back at the ranch I've got to the b
ottom of the wiring and very soon we'll
be able to make our left hooker a right-hander if I can do this you probably
can too I'm protecting myself every step of the way with meticulous labeling thank you you know those moments when you're
your world Falls away from under you and you feel your stomach coming up
this is one of those moments because um it feels so stupid uh I've just taken a picture of
our bracket on our donor Orion which is supposed to go here and what's Dawning on me actuall
y as
I'm speaking now is that a whole premise for this car to change it from left to right hand drive
the whole idea of purchasing another car a donor car for bits and pieces which was a genius
idea even if I say so myself at this point seems to be one of the stupidest things we've
done because this bracket will not fit on that firewall there because we assume that the body
shell was symmetrical there would be one body shell for left hand and right hand drive
and we would literally just mo
ve stuff over but it's not the case which means that uh
I don't think this is going to be able to be done I think that this has all been
for nothing so we now have a very good donor car completely in pieces we have a very
good left hand drive car completely in pieces and we just don't have the time or the money to
do this this is a big engineering job to do this which um genius isn't it absolute genius well uh
I'm Gonna Leave This I'm gonna have a chat with Will in the morning
when he gets
back but uh yeah clever really clever oops so day three
ends with a little sting in the tail four we have 5 days to turn our cars around and
never has so much needed to be done by so few in just two days can we'll find a way to make our
right hand drive conversion work well the basis of the whole project was that we assumed that this
was one shell for left-hand drive and right hand drive that it was a symmetrical car but it's not
you can clearly see yeah so what we're trying to do is get t
hat bracket out of that car to fit
onto this firewall here right okay well the plate as well the Plate's got to come off isn't
it okay well let's see if that makes any sense have a little look and see well I know it's
completely different isn't it yeah I can see that straight away it's not the fact that I
think we we couldn't do it because I think we can do it obviously given the time but it's the
question as to whether we should do it or not I think that's the point isn't it because to
ge
t that one to fits onto there that's going to be a whole engineering epic and even if we
do all of that work we're still not going to meet manufacturers standards are we no exactly
exactly that so I think we should we should put that back together because it's in a thousand
pieces isn't it yeah that's a thousand pieces this has cost us a thousand quid we need to get
everything we can out of this car it's time for this car to donate well let's get it out shall we
yeah daffo since will has re
moved the wheels of the donor car it no longer moves and so we use our
specially designed occasional trolley for the job good is that looking good that is
looking good that's looking really good it's all like this all over the jack on it comes there it goes now we've got to work like mad to get
the left hand drive car back together I'm so glad I labeled everything otherwise
this would have been a complete nightmare we are trying to make the best of a bad situation
at the moment so it comes
down to the minute I the bumper on this one is better than one on ours
so I'm going to get this off change them over actually the more you look at it the more
stuff the donor has bumpers trims door cards mounts screws vessels Gus was right all along
this car is a little gold mine spotted another opportunity the header tank on our car is
slightly UV damaged this one is much better thank you that looks better yeah ah looks like Gus's Hawkeyes
has spotted something he wants seats are fine to s
wap our donor car has gracefully given all it can aim perfect but they're a lot
better than what was in here before the last ones are all split and horrible well we've got a very tidy
left-hand drive car again we have and it has progressed a little bit we
mustn't be too hard on ourselves so we look at the bumpers the door cards the seats as
well yeah yeah should we go yeah I think so day five the last day to make
our left hand Orion the best left-hander out there maybe even grab
the five g
rand we put it up for money wow they look fantastic yeah very great
hello it looks so deep doesn't it the pain I know look at that oh yeah nice
and silver no it's not yeah really nice I'm gonna stick them straight back on the car
great if I stop my trolley from Rolling away we've taken a risk with these
Ford fans are notoriously fussy about period details time and offers will tell and now to the donor car what
are we going to do about it this was a cracking idea wasn't it when we wanted
to
convert our car to right-hand drive this was a brilliant idea wasn't it yeah but it was only a
brilliant idea for a very short amount of time but it's got work and somebody is going to want to
buy an xr3i engine with an injection system aren't they yeah and we know that that is a good running
engine because we were told yeah the previous owners of the car yes exactly that is Gospel yeah
it drove when when they parked it up and this other bit it's got indicators it's starting to
sound like
we're going to park this car out no way no way I don't want to spend any more time on this
it's been it's been a depop set I think I think I think we just need to write an advert get it sold
ASAP yeah this is going up for 599 or near offer just reading through this leaflet about how to
register your car for UK roads it looks a bit daunting but it's laid out brilliantly and it
shows you step by step what you have to do you have to fill in your v55 form you have to pay your
55 pounds and if y
ou want an age-related number plate which I assume you would because otherwise
you'll be getting a cube plate and it's very difficult to sell custom Accu plate so if you want
to rate age-related plate you have to prove the age of your vehicle and we've got the Portuguese
logbook so we can prove the age of our vehicle so that's okay A little bit of fiddling about and in
an undisclosed period of time the Orion will be UK registered but for now we're done the Orion looks
amazing we spent 1800
pounds on the car a thousand on its little brother 300 on Wheels and another
200 on other bits and pieces the total is 3 300. but we'll sell the RS wheels and the donor car for
at least 600 so let's call it two and a half well we did start off with a good car yeah but now
we look at it we have a poster car that's not a poster car it's a poster paint color the poster
car is like a dino 308 GT4 or a 914 Porsche or something like that isn't it Fords of this nature
are hot property we've been s
aying that all along I mean people of a certain age are a bit like us
are prepared to spend pretty good money on cars such as this I mean look at it it's in a lovely
color and the wheels are highly desirable yeah the wheels look fantastic I mean the car looks
fantastic and I actually think you're right because if you wanted an old Ford then at mark one
Mark II escort it's going to cost you a fortune isn't it and Sierra Cosworth now will cost you 60
Grand plus so maybe this is the hot ticket
maybe maybe this is now the right car at this moment
for the right price the local gliding Club allows us to drive the Orion as the paperwork hasn't
arrived so it's not road legal I think this car in particular is a good lesson in what old cars can
give you oh maybe I should say oh cause don't give you it's very basic isn't it 1600 engine 5-speed
gearbox yeah just about boxed out of the bar it's a lightweight car it's got a torque engine so
it's fine isn't it well it is quite interesting i
sn't it because all of that is enough to do what
it's supposed to do you kind of got a classic car but you've also got a pretty modern car as well
it's a fun car it's a capable car yeah you're not going to be going 100 miles an hour and I
think so but that's what the Ford Fanatics know don't they do you think the fact that it was um
designed as a left-hand drive car and we decided in our ultimate wisdom is changing to a right
hand drive car and then realize how incredibly difficult that was
going to be so left it or put
it back as a left-hand drive car do you think that any of that is going to affect the price of
the car yeah I do I do yeah I do I really do we keep the price at five grand because the car is so
good and three weeks pass before we get a call I have got news oh yeah really what's that then well
you know this was a left hand drive then we want to change it to right-hand drive but we couldn't
so we changed it back to leftover Drive which it was originally left han
d drive yes but that's old
news I want new news that's not the news the news is I've just had a phone call from someone who
wants to re-import this back to Europe does that work for us well I mean that could work because
we don't have the UK registration document yet yeah I think the only fly in the ointment was he
was saying he wanted the price to include taking it down to a port but I don't see that that's a
problem is it I would think if he's prepared to pay I'll ask him price yeah name
your Port yeah I
think so providing it's not too far away exactly that yeah exactly that cool the deal actually
takes a bit of doing and a couple of hundred pounds goes west but we will end up almost 100
in profit when all the money we're due lands yes thank you
