Exactly what I thought!

[@shona5512]

Not necessarily. When I worked at a used car dealership, we had anywhere between 40-60 cars on the forecourt at any given time. Average price worked out around 13k, (500-800k in total) and we were selling 10-20 cars per week and bringing in another half trailer load of cars every week to keep the stock up. But we also had a back lot, for trade ins (like the Vitara) that weren't good enough for the forecourt, and they always got snatched up real quick because we just wanted rid of them. Having a lot of cars out front doesn't mean you haven't been able to sell them, it can just mean you've got a lot of space for a lot of different cars to ensure you have something for almost everyone. Granted, this was 2 years ago. His story could be different what with covid and all.

Interestingly, a car only has to be roadworthy and have a valid MOT, which means you can legally drive a car you know would fail an MOT provided it is roadworthy, which is a far more limited definition - basically the lights and brakes must work, lights and windows should be clean. The car should also be maintained (so tyres have tread and air, washer bottle has fluid, brake and other fluids checked). So, in all likelihood, that car is road legal, although you do wonder how it passed an MOT 8 months ago!

I was kind of hoping for the Subie tbh

[@StriipyvanFluffball]

I was really hoping for the Forester, that looked good!

[@cptfrecell]

That might have been the smarter choice...

[@andriusa.6444]

But Subaru guys knew from the intro that it will not be that Forester :)

[@stefhannington2218]

Will love to see how this turns out once rust is sorted, mechanical stuffs are dobe etc. It's a nice motor. X

[@TheSFMCreators]

I was hoping it would actually be Jimmy Broadbent spec minty green

[@andrewb3122]

Hey, the forester isn't a bad car, but definitely not the strongest car around. I drive a USDM version of that gen (SF) Forester with a 2.5 Liter Flat 4(EJ251) with 222900miles, and no issues. Plus that one had a decent looking wiper park position meaning the wipers are still good.

[@CrazyKosai]

Should have take that Forrester instead.

[@MyName-sx3mr]

Definitely, bloody indestructible

[@pasta9899]

True haha, I lowkey got annoyed on why they didn't grab that

[@Nathan.Guthrie]

The name needs to be "Archie" after the rotten arches

[@codykamminga9667]

Love that Escort wagon

[@SilverJigProductions]

Nice little rig, would have loved to see the Forester as well.

Alex: “My head says no” Also Alex: “I’ve bought it” So the 200 quid you saved going to pay for a welder? 😂😂

Up to 09 I'd suggest, my V70 just passed 300.000km and is so great/ reliable

Sreaming it's in the glove box!!.. The entire time. Love the Vitara, the first car i'd ever driven. 12years old and tall enough to reach the pedals! Spent my teenage years repairing parts that broke, until a terminal engine fault finally killed it. 178,000 miles strong

[@tristan8243]

id love to see you guys weld in those patch panels :)

[@cptfrecell]

Ethan should do it!

[@iamaparanoidandroid1]

Ironically, at roughly the same time the guys were filming this, I was also scouring the small ads looking for something with enough MOT to get me through lockdown. I ended up with a Mazda 323 1.6 shitbox with pretty much the same rust and coolant issues. Mine has MOT to March so I may have to learn to weld if lockdown is extended. 😂 Good job boys!

Is it only me who hears as ethernet jack when he says "Ethan and Jack" 🤔😂
