I presume its the 6 speed box?

Who gives a f***?  It’s a lump of turd fit only for the budget market. If I’d owned it it would be long gone by now & I’d be pouring the proceeds down my throat. 

BRAVO! That’s what FIAT dealers shouted when they actually managed to sell one. Who the f*** types “Fiat bravo” into the search bar on the internet? You’d have to be some sort of deluded ex-FIAT dealership manager suffering from Alzheimer’s harking back to the not-so-good-old-days.

Failed MOT on negligibles so a result....

I’ve just check my YouTube site and the Bravo has had more views than any of my stock.... I can’t believe it.

[Linctrader 16]

Is it ready to go yet Simon? 

I love how folks view everything as disposable these days, granted its no top of the line Merc, but they have still taken an 11 year old car and effectively ran it into the ground, valuing it at zero - yet a little bit of time and money spent gives it value again and it will live another life. 

This place is starting to sound like 'wheeler dealers'... 

Old aaaht yer hannnnd!

Hahaha, tbh there’s money in shit - I often buy £3-400 turds locally (the decent ones such as 2.0 petrol saloons/estates - I leave the small car shite for others) put a few quid of parts into them, 12 months ticket, a quick scrub up & turn them around for £12-1500. Not big wages but minimal effort on my part, they fill a few spaces, the punters are grateful for a car with new parts and a GENUINE M.O.T. and as Tesco says “Every little helps”. 

Still wouldn’t want a Bravo though 

[Dave2302 387]

LOL,OK, OK, I couldn't resist, yeah fair play to you, I think that'll sell  

I also like your video appraisals

Neither would I, it owed me nothing so was worth more to me bringing it back than not... Simple business decision

Thank you.

Should have done a wheeler dealer video of the restoration, including selling it back to the last owner for £2000 more!!

[Linctrader 16]

Well done Simon on the turn around, it's came up great. 

Still laughing from the point in the test drive video when you said it's really clean and you looked around the cabin thinking I can't fucking believe this is the same motor lol.. 

Where are the blue mats? Heehee!
