DB9 owner, just friendly advice but do not jump a DB9 like you just did because you will fry modules. I'd highly recommend just replacing the battery or turning on the front lights while you're jumping to soak up the initial spike.

If this is a flood damage car then you’re either extremely lucky or troubles are just around the corner (for the future owner). For me I would’ve stripped the interior to check each and every electrical connection of the car to be absolutely sure that they were all ok. But; absolutely gorgeous car. Absolute stunner.

I would definitely remove the seats and carpets and remove all the modules and spray electrical cleaner in all the pins. Clean up all the earth points under the carpets etc etc..... Another great video chaps....

Guys. There's lots of modules under the carpet. Get them out and dry them. You'll probably need to recalibrate the roof, windows and seats once you've dried then out. It's same on BMWs

Especially flood damage cars they are cleaned so well it's hard to say it's been flooded it's the hidden damage to the wiring modules etc even if they seem fine now when things stat to rott out and wires start breaking in random places. It won't be a fun car anymore

You took helluva risk starting a flood damaged car like that. Water in the engine plus a cold start - engine destroyed! Even an oil change would have increased your odds - any water in the oil, you’d know not to start it.

Everyone saying give it to your dad he deserves it , just remember they have just taken over a lock up and had to fit it out , this all needs paid for , eventually I’m sure his dad will get a nice car for all the hard work he has put into repairing / fixing the cars, to buy this car even for salvage would still cost a pretty penny and needs to be paid for upfront , I’m sure they would love to keep the car and one day will be able to , but by buying and turning them around to sell quickly will keep cash flow and allow them to move on to bigger and better vehicles for content for us all. One thing I would agree with you have to check and clean all the electrically components as they will come back and bite you in the bum . The buyer of this car is going to want to know the history on this car and want some type of warranty I’m sure. Keep up the great content Gents 😊

Great car, did wonder if perhaps the car is water damaged, rather than flood damaged, And perhaps the roof has been leaking, but it would be odd, that such a high value car would end up at co-part for that. 🚗🕵

AM V12 engines take in water very easily. I know from experience having had to write off aV12 Virage. The replacement of the engine,if available, would have been £35000. A short video from the AM experts McGurk explains why Astons are prone to hydrolock.

Those copart scumbags ripped me off big time, I purchased a 2014 BMW 435D CAT N described as minor cosmetic damage, but after waiting for a while to get the damage repaired we discovered the 6 cylinder was running slightly off. After a bit of investigation I discovered a bent rod. When I went back to copart and complained about undisclosed damage they said it was my tough luck and said I should have checked the car better before bidding (even though we are not allowed to personally inspect
