HOW BAD DID I MESS UP BUYING THE UK'S CHEAPEST CLASSIC?!

[@philtowle4683]

The Corsa power steering is a popular conversion in old motorhomes

[@harryjones94]

Pretty simple to work on and the ladder type chassis is easy to repair. all kinds of engines fit too to get rid of the old Ford Essex V6 anchor up front. Darn site better buy than other classics needing lots of welding. The plus, is that they are rare to see on the road.

The Internet tells me that Princess Anne owns one of these.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Well as their is nothing genuine on it, the car cant be used as a parts car lol. Thats bang on its because its MOT exempt why its still on the road. By the look of it no doubt its a death trap.

Great entertainment lads,glad you’re scimitar is a one off 😂

[@andrewwilliamson7447]

Absolutely hilarious. I hope your life insurance is up to date.

[@saxon-mt5by]

You haven't done your research if you think £1000 qualifies for the cheapest classic car; just a quick search on the internet produced a list of 282 classic cars in running order under £1,000!

[@c.n.crowther438]

that's not bad. you should do some fun stuff to that. like turbo it or summat. it's got character that.

Super cool stuff! Can't believe you guys only have 2.3k subs

The wiper stalks, the light stalks, and the indicator stalks are mk3 Escort,

Didn’t know that! Thanks! I

[@adystarkie]

They used cortina / capri stalks from new😊

[@Drive-n-Vibe]

yeah idk, seems pretty good to me. grab a pair of scissors and cut out all the spaghetti, get rid of that awful corsa column and just replace the dash with a piece of wood/metal as its just a single straight piece anyway. spray can paint job (or even roll-on paint) and its a 10ft car with a screaming V6.

Hi James. Hope your doing good. I loved the video. I couldn't stop laughing😂. I've never even heard of a Simitar. Is it a British motor car or Russian? Good video. Take care and stay safe.

You could of got a lot better one for the same money as it's well rought the body will never rott being fiberglass it's the chassis underneath could be rotten or been pigeon crap welding ever where 😂 it's all Ford Essex v6 running gear you could put a better engine in and make money selling the engine just depends if you going to keep it original or not but that roof is horrible I would of walked away it's been bodged to death (sorry) it's a right piece of crap your crazy 😵😵 buying it at all the seller was having a good laugh after you left won't even make a lot scrapping it

[@Road2Rust]

Just sold it! Didn’t lose out either

[@petergrinnell2500]

@@Road2Rust well that's the main thing fair play to you as the owner really did bodge it the engine and gearbox being a ford Essex V6 wat would of made you the money back anyway 👍
