Selling the Autotrail Motorhome at a Copart Auction

In this video we take the Motorhome project to Copart Sandwich facility and enter it into one of the salvage auctions. We film as much as possible of the process and follow the actual auction a week later.
Thanks to all the staff at Copart for there help and allowing us to film the process of entering a vehicle into one of the Copart auctions.
As Rob mentions in both this and a previous video we don't think the Motorhome is good enough to Retail or sell to a subscriber so have decided to sell it back into the trade via the auction.
Just to clarify we are in no way sponsored by Copart and have not received any payment or fee for making this video. We simply asked that if we entered the Fiat into a Copart auction, could we film the final part of the Motorhome series to complete the story and kindly Copart agreed.
Working at our fully equipped workshop in Kent we carry out tasks including Panel beating, Body work, Mig Welding, Sheet metal Spot Welding, Fabrication, Chassis Repairs, Sand Blasting, Engine and Mechanical repairs, Reconditioning, Restoration and Structural repairs on the Celette Jig Dozer frame machine.
We do hope you enjoy this video and Check out our other videos on all kinds of vehicles including Barn finds, Quick flips, First wash, Repairs, Salvage, Restorations, Will it run, Accident damaged, Cat S, Cat N, Cat X Copart Auction bargains, Non Runner and anything else that arrives at the #Salvagerebuildsuk workshop. #RobandChris
We do receive quite a few questions regarding tools and equipment that we use for various jobs. Unfortunately there is too many to list but some of the brands we use include Snap-on, Blue-point, Makita, Sealey, Clark, Esab and Sykes-Pickavant.
If you are interested in a specific tool, please put your question in the comments section of the relevant video.

Sorry again about the wind noise we have ordered two new microphones and they are on the way so hopefully this little setback does stop 👍

[@RumpleXstillXskin]

Let’s hope so 🤞::::::how do hear you talk and turn the volume down @ the same time? -:)

[@sofa-lofa4241]

Don't forget to get some fluffy wind covers for them... Or pick up some roadkill, same thing but free

Salvage rebuilds uk loved this little series hope to see more of the dame 👍

[@acorndogs904]

@@RumpleXstillXskin That would be quite simple Volume on half Yes you still have wind noise and the fellas can still be heard Every channel I've ever watched cant combat that wind problem

[@garethholden2719]

I bought the Motorhome from Copart! I had no idea it was famous till a guy came to my workshop and recognised it. It’s been great watching the work being done on it and so pleased with it. One thing I will say is you guys are lucky you didn’t have to brake suddenly when driving it to Copart as the front to rear brake pipe is really bad. Will be watching from now on great work guys.

[@MattyEngland]

Fair play to the copart lads for being so helpful.

[@fawkey2369]

Another interesting video lads. Done the right and honest way with a little beer tokens extra at the end. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@CH-ju9hr]

Loved every video on the motor home, brilliant variation and good story, cheers Rob and Chris.

[@alexchapman8313]

Love how you guys are still keeping it real. Showing all the elements of how it works and running through the numbers. It’s a shame more are not as honest and transparent as you are. It’s refreshing to see your still excited about doing these jobs and your never asking for massive rewards or returns. £2500 return on this is brilliant for the effort you’ve both put in. You both have a business to run and bills to pay like the rest of us. Pleased for you both. On to the next project can’t wait.

[@JD-fg2dz]

You have really transformed this Motorhome from an ugly duckling to a swan ! Well done 👍

[@airaction2257]

Glad you made a decent profit Guys, if i was ever buying a vehicle of you guys i wouldn't hesitate i would know it would be spot on.

[@weedaviec]

If only all traders had such high standards. Kudos to you guys. Your success is absolutely deserved.

[@tramlad2]

That motor home looks really smart now Rob, good job. That has miles of use in it, should be a nice little family holiday home, especially with travel being restricted, another fantastic job.

[@thedannyboy64]

I watched it go through, I was wondering when you were going let us all know, but very good content Rob, and always nice to see the procedure of how it all works at Copart 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mistermikeanson]

Very educational - as always! You did the right thing shifting it through Copart.

[@jackmillin]

Brilliant video that Rob, great to see a bit of inside knowledge on copart. Cheers 👍 Jack

[@mikebroxton4746]

Can’t believe I’ve only just found your channel,all I’ve done the in the evenings and weekends is watch your videos can’t get enough of you guys keep up the good work

[@bradwhiteuk]

One of your best videos, Rob. Nice insight into the trade. Good of those guys at Copart to let you film a lot of the process. And even when you factor in the labour that was a decent profit.

[@starman9921]

Loved the video makes a nice change to see behind the scenes how a cars/motorhomes are sold at auction. Thank you Rob and Chris for your videos I always find them entertaining. Better than watching the TV.

[@andypeebles2242]

You made a good job of that van, Rob, someone's got themselves a bargain. Also, thanks to the boys at Copart for being so helpful.

[@alanveck5756]

Another cracking video Rob. Thankyou for being so honest about everything you do mate

[@theeuda]

Sad to see the camper go, but seeing some of the backend of copart was super informative. Great video.

[@dezh6083]

Well done on the sale and the love that you instilled back into the Van, glad that you made a profit after the risky purchase. Keep up the great work matey

[@Pugwash.]

Very interesting to watch and thanks for getting that camera behind the scenes. You put a lot of work into that van so earned every penny.

[@mattvine2538]

Rob , you show what most car repairers are really like , honest , real , down to earth , good folk , you've got very good skills in both restoring and posting.

[@andyfarmer759]

I found part one of this series, this morning. I have enjoyed it so much, I watched each episode in turn. Thanks so much for sharing.

I get the feeling, we will be seeing another camper van in Rob’s yard soon LOL

[@chrispenn715]

Excellent video thanks both. Very informative and I love the way you're so open about the numbers - nothing to hide! I think that's a reasonable profit for all the work you put in too. Thanks once again.

[@silvermane9370]

bravo mate. When you love your work knowing when to move on is very hard. You and Chris deserve a lot of respect for not losing your heads (completely) over the work you take on. Long may the success continue!

[@PiffyS16]

Another great vid Rob & Chris! I've really enjoyed all the vids on the story of the motorhome plus seeing all the graft you put in cleaning it from top to bottom. I could watch your videos all day long, such a decent, honest, pleasant guy! The standards you work to & set are a credit to you both! Cheers both

[@josephmccullough6685]

Cracking end to to the motorhome project. Glad you went the Copart route. Sensible thing to do. Nice profit too. Well done guys. 👍

*You worked really hard in getting it back to life, you richly deserve every penny you made.*

[@sean-wh3it]

Everything is a gamble Rob but those motor homes are a licence to print money

[@paulkidd4443]

You’ve given this a new lease of life. Yes some more work for the new owner but a lovely project Rob. Well done guys

[@denisebennett1626]

Congratulations on selling your van. I have so enjoyed watching you cleaning and repairing the motor home. I think the new owners will appreciate how well it was repaired.

[@keithfletcher6123]

Great little story about risk and reward, and the value of honesty, integrity & a good network of people you trust, and they trust you in return.

[@darrenwood9580]

See you eyeing up the bikes hopefully you’ll do another one soon 👍🏻

[@HotchPrive.]

Great video, Rob you gave a second life to that motorhome and in the same time inspired many others to do things like that. 100% Agree with you that before sell it privately you must be sure everything is perfect and safe without any hidden defects

[@rachellloyd7844]

I've absolutely loved watching your videos for this camper. It's been very educational. You did a fantastic job and i love your honesty 😁

[@phillipneale6422]

Loved the motor home project, again varied content. Cracking videos Rob and Chris!!

[@djdrwatson]

What a very informative and entertaining video! So sad to see the motorhome go. I wanted Rob and Chris to take it to the seaside, the weather is perfect at the moment. Copart were very helpful and the auction looked exciting (16:00). Sad the old girl has gone but that's life. She was a nice little earner in the end too!

[@allanrolfe6173]

Great turn around Rob, still meat on the bone for who ever took it on. You are so honest and a straight dealer so more power to your next purchase. Cheers.

Someone is going to have some happy holidays in that motorhome. Well done to you and Chris for bringing it back to life for someone else to enjoy! 🙂👍

[@stekwack]

Good to see the process of putting one through the auction, listing fee's seem reasonable, another great vid Rob.

[@Squishington3rd]

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole motor home series, thank you for putting all the time in to it as well which often goes forgotten about in the assumed ‘value/cost’ other make, content takes time and effort to put together which costs too. The explanation of the maths at the end was spot on, without people able to go on foreign holidays it has skyrocketed all staycation options including motor homes. All told this was a cracking mini series.

[@sruk]

Thank you

[@peterblazeby4783]

You and Chris worked hard on this one,great profit and well deserved 👍👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Rob your honesty is truly amazing, it is certainly the right attitude by far and will hold you in good stead for years to come. The motorhome was an excellent sequence of videos finished off nicely with the Copart auction. Looking forward to the next project.
