Welcome back to a bit of Thursday night action.
This is the second time we've. Been a lovely chat before
anyway. Thank you to ourselves.
So this is with myself and Jane and the wonderful Carl Hartley.
So tonight we're going to be talking about what investigating
some of the biggest and most amazing supercars which never
made production. Ferraris, Lamborghinis,
Bugattis, all the stuff which were canned before it saw the
shelves for selling, such as first, the Ferrari medullo.
Here we go. Is that on the screen, Reece?
There we go. We're working with flying
tonight. There we go, 1970.
Yeah. So this car is a privately owned
car. How much must that would be
worth? I mean, I don't know when it was
sold. I can never remember it going on
the market, but I know it's a privately owned car.
I think it's actually owned in the States.
Wow. It's made a couple of
appearances over the years at different car shows at the
Pebble Beach Concourse. I know it's been there.
I've seen this car on on pictures.
I've never seen it in the flesh. OK, so I've got this car.
Yep. Give me a price today.
I'm going to call somebody else. Carl, 54.
I would I would pay $3,000,000 for that car completely blind.
It might be. It might be worth double, but
I'd I'd take the chance. I'd give $3,000,000 for it.
Now if you own that car, whoever you are, I will pay $3,000,000.
I say dollars because I think it's in America.
It looks like a UFO. Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
Although I wouldn't want to, you know, I wouldn't, I can see why
they didn't bring it out. Can you?
You want to buy 1A minute go? Listen, I'll buy anything.
You know what I am but. I already commented Kevin
McHale. Was it shaped like a piece of
toast? It's.
More, it's more like a door. Wedge it.
Looks like someone's trod on it. Wash my mouth.
So I'm thinking well. I guarantee it's got some kind
of B12. I've got 5 litre.
Got some stats? OK.
Not about the engine. Got some stats?
Now we've got the modular started as one of 25512 S sports
racing cars. OK, so 512 means 5 litre V12.
You're right. So yeah, that's what would have
been. You should do this as a job.
You know, it's that hobby at the minute.
No, it's a non profitable hobby at the minute.
But I might turn sell sheets. I I might just commit to it.
I might commit to it and see where it's a.
So it's extremely low wedge shaped body, almost completely
covered all four wheels. And this this is a sliding glass
canopy like the KTM. So no doors?
No. Yeah.
No, no, no doors. So.
It's fighter jet. Yeah, the whole, the whole that
whole middle bit. I think I think it could be a
three seater that. 'D be even cooler.
I think. As in one in the front, two in
the back. Yeah, as in like a McLaren F1?
No, I think that's. No.
We started that already with two Phil.
It's it's 5 past 6 on a Thursday evening, Bryce.
I heard it and it's like a light bulb.
Bang, there we go. Now it's Sparky.
Moving. On back to cars so.
It was manufactured obviously in 1970, after 440 years, it was
restored. So like, yeah, that one, the one
car was restored and it was taken on the road for the first
time in 2018. So it's a real car.
There you go. Made the one it's.
Got nowhere mirrors either. Is it?
I don't know why I do that when I say.
But you know what? Before quite a few cars that era
didn't need to have wig mirrors. Oh yeah, Pull out.
Yes. I'd just leave.
Should I? I'd rather you did it get like
that, to be honest. We're friends.
But yeah, we're not, we're close.
But yeah, things could get strange.
But yeah, so I can see how that car can be Rd. legal.
It's got a window wiper, it's got lights, and you don't need
to have wing mirrors in 1970. I wonder whether that must have
looked ridiculous back then though.
Well, yeah, hence why they didn't bring it out.
SST training says it looks like a pop tart.
It does look like a pop tart. See, Carl has no idea what a pop
tart. Is.
No, I don't. They don't sell them at M&S.
No, I'm not. I'm not a snack kind of person,
you know? You're not.
No, I've got no sweet tooth at all.
Haven't you? No.
I don't eat sugar or sweets or anything, no.
Not proper Adonis then. No, I'd just, I'd rather just
have like a like food, like if I'm hungry, like chicken or
yeah, anything God Chinese. Like if I was going to if I was
going to have 3000 calories, it would be in a meal rather than
in a pack of doughnuts. Makes sense that that's a very
sensible attitude. Don't really don't use it for
me. Oh.
We've got. A poll.
Oh, we've got a poll. We're running a poll then, So
what is it? Should it have been made yes or
no? Did you put the pole on just or
before? Just.
Brilliant. Well done.
OK, there you go. Right next.
One pole for the next one. Seamless, isn't it?
Absolutely seamless. Chris Norman's just commented.
You're sitting the wrong way round.
Mark and Jane have had a fallout.
We're still, we can still, still get to each other, right?
Next is the Aston Martin bulldog.
Oh, I mean, it's there. We go have.
We got picture race I. Mean it's.
It's just. Theme this again.
Well done. You know how this is working,
don't you? Tonight the.
Best thing about that car is the number plate.
Yeah, though you still use that. Now don't.
They yeah, that's, I mean, that's possibly the ugliest
thing I've ever seen. Do you know what it looks to me?
Are ugly though. Aren't I right?
They don't even look like a bulldog.
I see Lotus Esprit. I see.
I see Lamborghini. Lamborghini Uraco, Tash or
Uraco? The new, the new not coontash.
The new coontash. The new one.
How's that spelled? COUNTACH.
Count well. I've done that thing.
I've known like Gayardo. I say, I say contash.
Yeah. And people like, you know, the
people that pick you up are not saying Porsche.
Yeah, Like those people. Yeah, them, yeah.
They, they, they harm me on it. But you know what?
I don't care. So yeah, that that's very.
Awful. It's very, you know what, 70s
you know. 1979. And it was in the 70s,
seventies. They made some howlers in the
70s I. Wasn't around but.
Chris Roberts has put looks straight out of the Peugeot 206
advert where the elephant sits on the car.
They loved the right angle didn't they in the 70s?
Pop up lights. They love the.
That's still the car which I like now that's the shape of a
car I still like. You do, and shallow, Thomas put.
If Tesla and a countash had a baby.
That that's a good thing. Do you?
Remember a car called a Victor? No.
Yeah, kind of looks a bit like a victor.
I think now then, so William's hound style that Astomati
bulldog loves, he loves the wedge, he loved the wedge.
He does love a wedge, loved the wedge.
It was planned there was going to be a limited run of 25 cars,
each one to have a twin turbo version, 5.3 litre V8600
horsepower, top speed of 237. Imagine doing 237 in 19.
There is no way in in the world is that car doing 237 miles.
An hour? Imagine doing 237 miles an hour
with a perm. It's just not, that's just not
doing 237 miles an hour. I.
Actually be going like that. Surgery Martin can't make a car
now that do 237 miles an hour, so adult that door wedge is
going to do 237 miles an hour. Oh yeah.
Probably the most unaerodynamic car I've ever seen, so unless
it's got AW32 engine from Bugatti.
You're right, because if I'd have read the the next line, OK,
the claim was somewhat optimistic.
OK. The claim the The test showed
the Bulldog. The Bulldog topped out at 192
mph. Was that a claim or a real
thing? A.
Real thing, apparently. But it's still impressive.
It had traditional leather and high tech LED screens.
I think this car, if you have a look at the front wings, I think
that's some kind of pop up wing mirror slash, maybe even a
camera in 1979. No way.
Well, it looks like it do. You not think it's a flag that
might go? Instead of indicators just like,
yeah, no, that's definitely something to do with a wing
mirror. And I think that car, well, I
would say that car is legally Rd. registered.
Oh, I've got news. OK, so Victor Guntlett pulled
the plug on the car, the Assamante chairman in 1981.
So if anybody wants one of them, it's Victor's fault.
They made one. Yeah.
And they sold it for. OK, I'm going to do this again
When? OK, they sold it.
I'm guessing the one that he's sold by the factory doesn't say
when. But that makes a big difference
because in 1979, a Ferrari Daytona, well, Daytona was sort
of in, in 7476, they were about 20,000 lbs and that was AV 12
front engine, you know, flagship Ferrari.
So if this was sold in 1979, I doubt that it would have because
it's one of one. It might have went for 30 OK.
Do you know what it reminds me of a little bit?
They sold. OK.
What would you what would you give me for now?
Sorry, what? Today I wouldn't give you a pack
of crisps for that. I think it's you.
Don't think of crisps exactly, and that's why I wouldn't give
you. What would you give me for a
full course meal? £300.
Somebody paid £130,000 for that beauty.
Well, that must have been a. £130,000.
That wasn't in 1979, Definitely not.
Recently emerged from a large scale restoration.
Say that. See how they paid 130 grand for
that? Not in 1979, you wouldn't have.
No, I wasn't. Born the equivalent of giving
£6,000,000 for it. Look at a house for 130 grand in
1979. Probably about two million now,
wouldn't it? More.
Way more. How was it?
How did the poll go, Reece? OK, so the poll.
So should this car be made or not?
Yeah. A. 108 votes.
Yeah. 63% of people said no. Yeah, there you go.
On you for saying 63 and not 64. There's there's faith out there
amongst humanity. Right next page.
This is a good one. This is a bit of me.
This is proper bit me. So this is an Audi RS0021986.
Obviously it was going to be a rally car and a Group S, so it's
less powerful than the Group B monsters.
It was all going to go ahead and it was going to be even rarer
because it required less to be made for the Group S, But then
they changed the production details and it didn't happen.
Why is the car looking like it's two cars welded together?
That's what Audi did though. I mean the front end of that car
looks like some kind of Le Mans car and the back end of the car
looks like they kind of run out of ideas and it looks smaller at
the back. I also see Audi TT and I see AVW
Beetle as well in that do. You know what?
I think that would drive incredible.
Front doors, front that bit there is a Carrera GT.
No. Do you know, do you know Audi
right? Audi S1.
Do you know that rally car? Yeah, that is a cut and shut
between an Audi 80 and an Audi 100.
So they made that car literally by cutting two cars and putting
them together. So it's an Audi 90.
That's brilliant. Yeah, simple mathematics.
It's just common sense. So is that got a guess or?
Is that like this? And I don't know why this wasn't
made because that would have done really well.
And I bet 1986 with Audi's success in rally championships,
I think that would have drove unbelievable.
The reason they stopped is because rally the rally rules
change which then made that not a thing, otherwise it would have
been a thing. It looks like it's something
that you would, you know, go on them hill climbs.
Yeah. You know, like.
Somebody's built in their garage.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, super fast. Yeah.
It's like that that's got that's got AV126 litre in it.
Do you think Porsche got their idea for a spoiler from that?
Oh yeah. We see Audi, Porsche,
Volkswagen, kind of all related. So there we go.
Big wing that that wins. Win Wednesdays, definitely.
Does anybody want that to be made, Reece?
I definitely want that to be made. 68% of people said yes.
Oh, that's, that's, that's that's.
And is that's the performance of that car or not?
No, just that it got it got taken out of production because
the rally rules changed. I like it.
Right next. This is a nice car, a Mercedes.
Mercedes NSX. 1/2/1991 This one Now this has some interesting
facts, some very very. Going on with that.
Car 1991. So there'd be some power in this
car. And this is kind of this will be
leading up to the kind of CLKGTR yeah, era.
And I bet that had something to do with the the so the making of
a CLKGTR. What?
What engine would you think was that they'd have put in that
Mercedes V8V126 litre? The one is the same as the S
class. Really.
The 600 engine? Yeah.
Is it in the front or the back? Back.
Oh yeah, I would say so. I'd prefer prefer back, but like
you just you just you take what you get that and when they're
doing small production cars like this, right.
So interestingly, you know what Mercedes a light.
So this was a test bed for active suspension.
So the first active suspension, active steering, lots of
aerodynamics, tire pressure sensors, the adaptive cruise
control. Back in 1991, this car was
responsible for when your steering takes over.
Oh, really? This.
Well, that's been going that long.
The the side is that it was the first car to have an airbag
whatever ever. What a 1981.
It just says first airbag. That's all I've got for.
It'll be steering wheel. Yeah, First car to have ABS,
electronic stability, voice control of the car and obviously
the line assist. So this was going to be
revolutionary, which obviously Mercedes are doing a lot anyway,
haven't they? Mercedes are the sort of market
leaders for that sort of stuff. How do you think it looks?
Like say very NSX and. It drives up with that engine
though. The door, like, I think it's
just bloody beautiful. Sonny's put looks like a looks
like an F40. Front lights.
No XJ 220 I think I can see as well.
Tiny. Post a picture of an F40 so you
can see what it looks like. I think I like it.
Yeah, is is this a keeper or a thrower race?
Viewers said 89% of people said it was a keeper.
Really. Do you know what I think on that
car as well, which is going to change your mind drastically?
I think that car has gullwing doors.
Oh. It has.
Oh, you can see.
On the roof, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a bit Mclareny. Now, when I say gullwing doors,
I mean like like the 300 SLSLS gullwing doors.
Yeah, that's what I think that has.
So Mercedes reportedly received 700 orders from customers who
are willing to buy the car regardless of cost.
So just showing the pitch, they said, yeah, I like it.
But production decided that C 11-12 would never start
production crazy as they sold 700.
Yeah, I've got no reason why they didn't.
But they they they didn't, Yeah. Because like so that's the same
doors as like the SLS is. Yeah, the 300 SL and they were
the only two Gold Wing cars that Mercedes made ever, apart from
that one, yeah. No way that was the third.
The first car that was made was a 300SL which was in 1955.
Ever sold one? Yeah, many of them have you,
Yeah, yeah. And actually the 300 SLR, which
was the car that Sterling Moss raced in the Million Millionaire
in that recently sold a couple of years ago and it's been the
most expensive car ever sold, €144 million.
Really. That's the most expensive car
ever. Ever.
Ever. 144 Jesus. Next, we're going Lamborghini.
I like that Mercedes. I'd I'd buy one of them.
I wonder if there is. I suppose there is one
somewhere, because here we go. Lamborghini colour.
What do you reckon to that? Very.
Round that looks to me like. Yeah, you bit the nail on the
head there that. Looks to me like the Chinese
have made a Lamborghini. Yeah, I think you're right.
They've looked at a Diablo and go oh.
We'll make one of them. Yeah, I have an MR2.
So the Lamborghini color 1995. A few cars have endured such a
prolonged and agonized journey at the Lamborghini Kayla, first
shown as a concept car in 1995 as the possible entry level to a
Diablo. You can see it's the small like
you know the small version. Kind of Gallardo.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, that was probably the
prototype for a Gallardo really suppose.
It exactly was that. So Chrysler basically bought the
supercar company and then when Volkswagen Group took over
Lamborghini in 1998, the collar, the collar was dropped and work
began on the Gallardo instead. Oh.
There you go. So that would have been the
Gallardo if Chrysler would have been in charge.
Thank God for the Audi Volkswagen.
Top speed of 181 mph 4 wheel drive.
But I think the Gallardo was the better option.
A lot better option. That's a flop my.
Weird in it the the shapes on the back.
Give it 2 thumbs down completely, but you see a bit of
merch Lago at the front though. Yeah, definitely.
And those wheels are very Diablo.
Yeah, very. Not sure about the roof.
Does that roof come off? I think.
Oh yeah, that MI didn't say that like a bit of an M but.
It also looks like that that's a targa roof that may come off.
And that is that back spoiler's weird, isn't it, That.
Back spoiler is like from wish. Horrendous.
Awful. So does everybody vote for or
against Reese? 71 of people, 71% of people said
no. So that's a big flop.
Big flop. I mean, it is ugly, isn't it?
Yeah, compared to what? So what's out there right then?
The Volkswagen W12 1997. So I think, if I'm right, that
this was the start of the Bugatti Veyron.
You. Think.
I think so. I see what you're saying.
I remember this car back in the 90s and I think this was what
led up to the Bugatti Veyron. Interesting.
Do you? Want me to read my stats do.
You want me to tell you why? Why?
Well because number one is a Volkswagen.
Volkswagen Audi owned Bugatti and that was about the time they
they took over Bugatti. The fact that it's called AW12.
Now the Bugatti has AW16 engine which is 2V eights put together.
Now obviously this W12 is 2 V sixes put together I would
assume and obviously Volkswagen are not going to be able to sell
a car for £1,000,000 with a Volkswagen badge on it.
So why not put a Bugatti badge on it?
You've basically just read out what I.
Put. There you go.
I just didn't. I know what you're talking.
About I'm like the Oracle so basically a concept was AW12420
horsepower. It was basically nought to six
in 3.5 seconds. Now this was going to be
Volkswagen supercar. OK this is what they wanted, a
supercar, but that it basically turned into AW16 Bugatti engine
because Volkswagen tried with the Phaeton luxury saloon,
failed, didn't sell any. So then they got spooked and
never made a supercar because they thought that they were more
of a budget brand rather than a luxury car brand.
The Phaeton was AW, it was AV 12 saloon.
Incredible car. Like better car than an A8 or an
S8 that it would be super super super luxury.
I've actually had a couple. I don't remember seeing them,
yeah. Super super super luxury, great
car. I think Volkswagens are great
cars. Anyway, I'm all for this car.
Definite yes, this should have been made.
Reece, what does the people think?
69% of people. Say yes, say yes yes.
Well done everyone. I agree.
Great looking car, almost like you say, a baby Bugatti.
Beautiful. I think it's lovely.
And imagine if it was like if it didn't cost 35 grand to change
the titers etcetera. Yeah, we probably would have.
That would be that downfall. I wonder who owns that car now?
I like that. Chris Roberts has commented
saying I'm sure that this was in Top Trump's in the 90s.
Oh, that car. That's interesting.
Ryan, can you check that out? Right, the Maserati Birdcage.
This is a car. Yeah. 2005 so we're getting a
lot more modern now only 20 years ago what we think into
that. Love it.
I can't put it on the screen because you've asked Ryan to
type somewhere. Yeah, OK.
So was it. It wasn't at Trump's.
There we go, the Maserati Birkage.
Absolutely in love with that car.
It's beautiful. That is a great car.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about it at all.
So it was to mark 75 years of Maserati.
It's it was a gift to itself for its birthday is what they did.
Starred by Pinafarina. Yeah.
It should have been a run rate success.
It was based on the MC 12 and it's a Ferrari Enzo derived V12
engine, 700 horsepower. So there was a 1950s bird cage.
There was, but this one was a closed cockpit.
Basically didn't make production because I suppose they didn't
think they could sell enough. It also would have went head to
head with an Enzo and an MC12. Yeah, if you said.
Obviously they'd have to change that car a lot in order for it
to be, you can see it's a concept.
So to make it a production car, they'd have to change it a lot.
When they changed it, what does it turn into?
You know so, but it's stunning though, isn't it, that?
Maserati front's just there forever.
Isn't it that like little, it just looks like a Maserati's?
Yeah, I, I, I like that it's, it's also got Maserati Gran
Turismo alloys is. That what it is that what the
cars are. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How are Maserati now? Not good.
Not good well. Good value for money.
I recently sold a Maserati MC20 which is the supercar version
sports car version of of what they do and it costs £330,000.
It was one year old and I sold it for half price.
Half price, Yeah, we've literally just done a video on,
on, on and we drove one. Yeah, good car.
But half price V6 killer. I think that was actually named
after old boy Stevie Wonder as well.
Why? Oh, it's more fish tank than
bird cage, isn't it? Small birds.
It's a throwback to a famous racing car that raced in Le Mond
for Maserati. You do like a bit of Le Mond,
don't you? Do you love a bit of Le Mond?
Yeah, that's just, that's the ultimate.
That's your thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like back then, if, if you, if you raced or won Le Mans, it
was, it was different to F1, it was different to everything
else. It was.
Let's see what you've got best versus the best.
Best. Not only you have to have the
best driver, the best car, you have to be the most reliable,
the most efficient do. You remember when the diesel
won? It was.
Oh yeah, that was that Volkswagen.
Wasn't it a Bentley I? Think, oh, it was a Bentley?
Yes, it was. Bentley Diesel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a cool guy.
Did did it win because it just done more miles per gallon?
Yeah, it didn't stop. Yeah.
It just kept going. Or because it that much blacks,
though no one can see where they were.
Going What do you think is going to happen in the future when
these cars, these race cars are all electric?
Then they'll have to like, have a battery change halfway through
the race. That's what they were doing.
That's what that Formula E was. Formula E they were.
They don't. They don't race for 24 hours.
No, they don't race for like like, it's just. 15 minutes or.
Flat and they, they literally change.
I think they they did change cars or something, but yeah.
And now they do that extremely as well.
It's like, yeah. I'm all for the bird cage.
Did we do a vote on that? Oh, did yes, the vote?
Was 84% of people said yes? There, there we go.
The oh, so that would have been a selling Maserati.
How? Much.
But how much? That's got to be million.
Well look when when an Enzo came out and an MC12 they were
600,000, so that probably would have been a touch more wouldn't
it? So you're talking 345 million
now, aren't you? Yeah.
I mean, whoever owns that car somewhere that I'm, I'm pretty
confident that car would be at least a couple of million.
I wonder how many seats it is as well.
I would say it's two seats. You wouldn't fancy having a
crush in it though, would you? No.
Just it's all windscreen. Now this is a good this is a
good one. The next one, right?
Lamborghini Miura 2006 so the Lamborghini mirror concept
reinventing the supercar, which was launched in 1966.
So basically Lambeau could reinvent retroversion in 2006
basically just to like what that we've seen them do now already
with the countash. Yeah, this concept, 40th
anniversary of the original, that's why they did it.
Hidden beneath was basically and Mirza Lago 6.2 Liter B12
customers were keen to place orders, but Lambo boss Stephen
Winkleman stopped it and he said this is good.
Our company don't look backwards, we only look forward.
So why they remade the contest? I guess it's because he's not
there. I don't know.
Yeah, he went to, he went to, he went to Bugatti.
So he says we know Lambo since did the same thing with the
countach. So I'm guessing maybe that was
after when? I have actually physically seen
this car. No way.
And I've sat inside of it. Yeah, I was at the Geneva Motor
Show and the Lamborghini stand, it wasn't displayed at the
Lamborghini stand. It was displayed on the
Lamborghini stand in like, the, like, the private area at the
back where you have food and, like, you get your champagne and
whatever. And there was this car and it
looks absolutely incredible. When you say food, what food
were you eating? Not snacks.
I have no idea a. Moose Bouche.
Little kind of. Yeah, a moose Bouche.
They're never any good though, are they?
Do you ever? Feel a pig when you're at these
places and they come round on other trades and you I eat 30
of. Them I stand, I figure out the
rotation of the path, I figure out where the in and out is and
which way. And yeah, like literally just
standing in the way our Christmas do is horrendous,
isn't it? I, I, I, you'll find me by the
kitchen. Do they expect you to take one?
Because no, they must. No.
Bang Bang, wait there before you go take another two.
I've had four. But I go, do you want?
I go, do you want Jane? Jane will go.
When you've messed up, you go. No, I'm all right, thank you.
And she just gets the. I get the star.
Yeah. Why did you say no?
Why did you and? I didn't want to hold yours
while you're eating the other three that you've got in your
hands. Yeah, I like, I like them a lot.
That car from beautiful from experience, actually seeing the
car is absolutely insane. Yeah, lovely isn't.
It love that guy and the fact it's got a Marshall Lago engine
in it as well yeah is just even better.
It's weird than it like that, that one man has the power to
just go, no, we don't look back, we only look forward.
This is a brave statement, but. Well, yeah, I I get it as well
because, you know, you're trying to.
You're trying to. It's like you're 1 trick pony.
Yeah, You know, we can't. We can't make anything better
than this, or we're just making it.
Just keep going the same way. But they've obviously been a bit
of a hypocrite over the years, haven't they?
Yes, they've, they've, they've, they've redone it.
Redone it since yeah. Off topic a minute.
Ben Sherman wants to know why I'm so close to Tom.
Who's Tom? I've no idea.
Do you get called Tom? Very.
Often I get called all sorts of things, mostly four letter words
in three. Tommy.
Yeah, if you want to say that Tommy with AC, shall we?
Do some news, Reece. Reece, are we going to do some
news? Welcome to this week's news.
Right Mots are going to rise in price.
They're currently fixed at £54.80.
Five that's been a long time since they've been the same
price. I'm sure I thought they.
Were £40. A lot of people, that's a
maximum price. Yeah, I I get mots for less
than. Yeah, I think, I think the going
rate is about 3540I. Think it's cheap though, don't
you? For.
What it is? But you know, why don't you?
Because they want the work, don't they?
So they're they do a loss leader, but.
Think about it right, everyone got together and said right,
everyone who's got a car over three years old, they need an
MOT if you have to have one. So you pay thousands for
insurance, you pay thousands for your car and your your MOT is
£50 and without that you can't get on the road.
I'd charge 5 grand. Yeah, because you've got no
choice. OK, if you don't want to pay it,
we'll go. Simple, £50 is too cheap and if
I was responsible for MOTS we'd all be very, very, very, very,
very wealthy. But there you go.
So if Carl just become mayor, you'll know who not.
To I won't tax you, I'll just put your MOT prices up.
So that's the only thing you'll get charged.
The only thing you'll get charged is is is.
So no tax, no money gains, nothing, nothing.
Just the MOT. Just the mots.
Moving on, Uber and now also Waymo are bringing driverless
taxis to London in 2026 have. You ever been anyone?
Have you been in the drive? No, it'd freaked me out.
It'd. Freaked me out as well.
What about if you you took some kind of panic attack that you
wanted to get out? You could actually take control
if you wanted to. Do you know it's?
Not going to happen in London. Someone in London is going to
end up stealing the the no person taxi.
You get a free lift, don't you? Really.
I suppose you will just get in there.
Yes, I'm not getting out it's. Going to stop you getting in the
front. Nobody sat there.
Hello. I said please stop making all
the noise. Right colouring.
Also loads of equally boring electric cars.
Sorry, there's loads of electric cars that are equally important.
The news, When I look on the news, it's just electric cars.
So BMWA new XIX 3 is going to have a 500 mile range different
to the 2010 mark you've written this different to the 2010
Nissan Leaf which didn't even do 100.
But we did. Is the Nissan Leaf.
The first like one of the first electric cars.
Oh, I thought the first electric.
Cars, I'm sure cars have. I'm sure cars have loads of
them. I am not getting involved in
this convict. There is absolutely no interest
in in me talking about. I saw you were on a podcast
recently and you said that you'd never sell a Tesla.
No, they're banned. Would you buy?
One now. I'd buy a Cybertruck if anyone
knows the one. Hilarious.
My son's I just need to buy my son a Cybertruck.
Christian. Yeah, he really, I mean, he's
infatuated with cyber and he he actually, he actually explains
himself. I look, Dad, and no, we don't
like Teslas, but this is a Cybertruck.
It's not a Tesla, it's a Cybertruck.
That would be some Christmas present.
So I'm like OK so I tried to buy Yannis until I found out that
they're pretty impossible to get them UK registered.
You can't, yeah. I just think it'd be so cool.
Like it is a cool. It's so awfully ugly.
It's that's. Cool.
Is it good? Yeah.
Right. What have we been up to?
Right quickly before we move on what we've been up to.
You were racing last weekend. Yeah, we should.
The weather, I was doing a 116 BMW race, endurance race, great,
like met these people, fantastic group of people, the guys who
run it and a lad who was racing called Ollie Kelly invited me to
do this endurance race, 90 minutes on Saturday, Donnington.
We got up at half six to get there.
The fog never lifted, didn't do the race.
No way. Gutted and it's it built this
car at home. Was it?
Was it that bad? The Fog.
It was, it was terrible, really. It was it it, it didn't do you
know, like when you go, oh, they could have run it.
They definitely couldn't have run it.
But it was bad. And we thought the second we
leave it's going to be glorious sunshine and it wasn't.
I'm glad it's probably better than it wasn't.
Yeah, 'cause I'd have been gutted, Yeah, yeah.
But we waited till 1:00, something like that.
Yeah, a bit of a shame, but that's another.
Day. There's always another time.
And then I've been testing yesterday.
Do you know what race those focuses last year race those
focuses, they do a petrol version now in an St. which I
had to go in yesterday, which was, which was a lot of fun.
A lot, a lot of fun. That was good.
That's all we've been up to. But what are we up to?
Monday getting all glammed upon Monday Where you going?
We are going to the Pride of Britain awards.
OK. In London.
Grosvenor Hotel. Yeah, nice.
Been there. So red carpet you.
Got your tuxedo sorted? It's actually not black tie.
Thankfully he has got one. No lounge suit.
We've got a bit of a problem with the footwear.
No, we haven't. I I know Carl's going to like
them. That's why I'm I'm sort of
treading a little bit careful. You need to.
Loafers. Loafers with socks can't wear
loafers with socks, mate. I was.
I can't go sockless. I've had a fight, I've had a
battle on my hands. If it's not trainers, trying to
get a pair of shoes on him is like mad, but I've managed to
get him in a pair of. Loafers, it's just not It's not
right for a man. You just eat.
It's not right for a. Man, no, I it's not right.
I don't think loafers. I think loafers were shorts.
I I don't think. I bet you're a loafer man
though, aren't you? I'm loaf.
I could be loafers with shorts. But a loaf is a nice smart
shirt. It is, and they're comfortable.
But on. The red socks.
You can't wear loaf on a red carpet with socks.
We're going to get packed like everyone has to have the photo
take. I'm going to ask AF to to zoom
in. I'll have to say, don't put me
feet in, Don't put me feet in. You've not got a nice pair of
dress shoes like just just to, I mean just to get through the
night in. No.
I got training. He's got his wedding shoes.
No, listen, I am in control. That's bad form, Mark.
And he looks nice. I'm not happy about.
The loafers suit, even if he wore socks.
Can we have a pole, Reese? Yeah, Reese.
We need a pole, mate. Loafers.
Or no. Sir, loafers with or without
socks, with a suit. I'm hoping a lot of our audience
don't even know what a loafer is.
Google it, LOAFBR. Yes.
Right, the poll is up, everyone. Vote on the poll.
OK, I've got some news which you're going to be involved with
as well, hopefully. So, you know, I occasionally do
a podcast with Rob Moore from Disruptors.
You've obviously been on Rob's show as well.
Yeah, I like Rob Star. Nice guy, isn't he?
Yeah, we have collaborated together and we are starting our
own podcast called Cars and Money.
Nice. What we do is we handpick some
top tier car collectors from around the world, you being one
of them. Also, we filmed a couple of
episodes, won't be launched until January, but we talk about
how someone earned their money, what their obsession with cars
is, how it started, where the journey's taking them and just
and just talk, just talk about cars.
Basically you have to talk about guests yet or.
No, not yet, not yet. But there's some very, very,
very, very high profile people on the show.
We are making a trip out to Dubai next month to do some
filming. Might have to go to the US to do
some filming. Love it.
Saudi Arabia to do some. Filming and this is going to be
classed as work, obviously, of course.
It's work and obviously you'll be featured.
In Dubai. What in overseal, which is at
the showroom? In in Tamworth.
So I'm going to Tamworth. Yeah, yeah.
Brilliant, yeah. I mean, you know, that's we buy.
New New York, But we're going to, yeah.
But the people that are in Dubai, they live in Dubai,
that's why we're going to see them.
Well, maybe we should have a bit of a switcheroo.
Well mate you can come with us to Dubai if like and we'll film
yours episode there. No, I'm fine.
Thanks. But anyway, watch out.
At the stair now. Brilliant.
We are I've, I've started to post some teasers on Instagram.
Looked really good. We've done a couple of episodes
already and we are launching it in January.
We're gonna probably film 10 or 15 episodes before January.
So when they're launched, we do one a week and just see how it
goes. You know, it's it's a bit of
fun. And it's been been fun so far.
Yeah, it's been, it's, do you know, it's nice to sit down with
people because if I don't know the person, Rob knows the
person, you know, and it's nice to sit down with in a relaxed
environment, like like, like we do together.
Yeah. And just just talk about
anything, you know, just talk about anything and talk about
cars and good podcasts. We could sit and talk about cars
forever, couldn't we really? So yeah, yeah, it's, it's easy.
It's easy listening. Yeah, no, look forward to it.
Loafers are taking over the chat, unfortunately.
What they're saying? What's the poll saying, Reese?
So the poll says 64% of people said. 64%.
No, there. Thank you.
Thank. You very much no socks.
No socks. I'm gonna look like a right
knobhead, you know? Oh yeah, look terrible, right?
Bugatti 16 CA Bugatti, which never made production.
Can we have it on, please? 16 A Bugatti 16C Galiba 2009
There she is. That, for me, is the world's
ultimate car right there. What, that's it, unfinished?
It's a Bugatti. You've lost your mind that
looks. Very, very, very comfortable.
You can fit at least four people in that car and it it would have
an it will have a Bugatti Veyron engine.
In this is where this Cullinan things come from.
Yeah, the Cullinan's ruin me. It's ruined me.
You have changed. I would rather have that than a
sheer. On I remember the old car.
That is, that's amazing, Tom, That's amazing.
Don't know why. The only reason they wouldn't
have built that is because they'd have wanted to charge two
and a half million in 2009 for an SUV and it wouldn't happen.
Well interestingly every car produced since 1998 has been mid
engined but this would have not been the case, it would be
prevented with it. So that's why the big reason why
it didn't game because they were the at the W 16 Viron Engine 2
superchargers. It was a near miss.
Apparently they planned for production, but it got banded in
19 in 2016 when the company boss Wolfgang reconsidered the idea.
I think Bugatti will explore that idea.
But it still might happen. There you go.
Please, Wolfgang, if you're listening, Wolf, your.
Finger out. De Haimer.
It's big and ugly. Isn't it horrendous?
It's. Beautiful.
What are you talking about? I see.
I see ChatGPT has made a Bugatti before.
We're in the front of that with it being so I do I.
Can't I do? How do you not realize that this
is possibly the best car that will ever be made in the history
of the world? Honestly, if you said here is a
Bentley Continental Sea and here is a Bugatti Veyron, ChatGPT
make me a car. That's what you'd.
Get. That's what you'd get.
With a brown interior. Can you imagine that doing 253
miles an hour? Like that with with the lights
up with. Four people in the car.
The lights on full, yeah. Lights on full beam.
Do you know what I mean? Full beam everywhere, like
during the day don't care. And I mean even the even the
spec of this one, the the Chrome, the wheel, it's
absolutely amazing. Chad saying it's hideous fan
mirror rear and needs different lights.
What you're talking about, Carl, is hideous.
Let's see how how how much Carl is in touch with reality now.
65% of people. Said no.
Said. Yes.
There you go, I've not been wrong yet.
I've not been wrong yet. What?
That's. An amazing car, mate.
If they make it, I'm going to buy one.
I'm going to bring it here and I'm going to change your mind.
There you go. Next one is.
His new car. Yeah, this is a very interesting
1A Jaguar CX752000 and 10. Apparently this stole the Paris
show. This was the car in 2010.
I was there do. You remember seeing it, was it?
I do you remember seeing it and what the nice people of Jaguar?
I'd stop myself. Then the nice people that Jaguar
should do is take a good look at that.
And no, that's how you design A car.
That's. Not.
The stupid way it's going at the minute, that's the proper car.
It was. Needs wrapping black though,
doesn't it? A contemporary You don't.
Like that colour do you orange? Horrible.
Metallic. Orange it was.
It was going to be a hybrid electric power.
Ruining it now. Yeah, gas turbine engines,
extended motors 200 and 200 mile an hour, 31 mile battery range
developed with F1 Williams to take the Jaguar into contention
with Ferrari and Lamborghini. Bad economic climate.
So that was that must have been the previous slump in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it'd be 2008 in the big
recession. So that must and we're actually.
Still in it. Now one thing what a couple of
things I know about this car. Number one was it was featured
in a James Bond movie. It was in James Bond Spectra.
Yep. Not that colour though.
It was driven, Yeah, I think. I think it was sweat, yeah.
Can't ask you, can you? Can you ask what colour the not
on there though? Get in your phone.
Also, they made, they did make this car, they made five of
these cars that are Rd. legal Rd. registered on the road cars.
What? Tis Barry P1 though isn't it?
I just see yours. Yeah, the back that back out
the. Back.
Yeah, the back arch is AP1. Yeah, yeah, 100% yeah, 700
grand. It was going to be yeah, 700
Grand car type 5 litre supercharged V8 engine, right?
V8 That's awful. So have you seen one of these
cars? Working well, No, I've seen.
I've seen one at. At the show, so there's five in
theory, driving or. There's there's definitely 5 you
Rd. registered. Yeah, yeah, that can be driven
if if someone wanted to drive them.
Yeah, yeah. Now what lets this car down for
me is the fact that they've just taken the engine.
They should have made it its own engine.
Yeah, instead of that. Now the last time Jaguar done
something like this was the XJ 2/20 which was a massive flop
when it when it came out. Quite famously my dad bought
one, the first one off of Lord Lloyd Webber, Andrew Lloyd
Webber and the car was no I'm lying, he bought it from Elton
John and he sold it to Lord Lloyd Webber and the car was
£400,000 give or take. Like I think it was like 401,000
lbs. That was the that was the cost
of the car and it was famously bought the same day for half
price by me dad. Would you know a similar story?
I know that the deposit for those cars were £80,000, OK, so
somebody to have an order of that 200 whatever and were made
was £80,000 and people were walking away from their deposit,
losing their deposit because it was cheaper than taking the hit
of the delivery of the car. Well, Elton John.
My dad bought Elton John's for for for half price the same day
it was delivered. 200 Grand 2. 100 grand lost in 1994.
You know, that's a lot of money. And if I knew, I'd do some sort
of funny joke compared to an Elton John song if I knew what
they were called. I've just got a Candle in the
wind. It's the only one I've got any
Elton John songs. Rocket.
Man ruined it. I haven't ruined it.
Don't go breaking my heart. 2 Elton John, Yeah.
Yeah, I like Elton John. No, yeah, not a massive Elton
John music. Fan So price on these cars
rumoured to be around £2,000,000 This?
Yep. But to be honest in today's
market I don't see that being a reality.
But I know there's been a couple for sale for around the
£2,000,000. Really.
Yep. So this sort of didn't make
production, but sort of did. Well, it kind of did.
Yeah, so like the the the launch cars or whatever.
What's everyone saying? Reece I.
Think 90% of people said yes. So that's, that's a, that's a
very positive look for great wing mirrors.
Totally off topic, but Alfie Newsham, 16, says legend.
Legend does it. Mark bought the Blackpool Tower
and wrapped it Matt Black. So that's a 90.
So that's a good brow. That was a that was a big.
Big number. But The thing is, the question
we didn't ask is for a poll. Would someone pay £700,000 for
it? I don't trust the polls after
the whole sock and loaf of things.
The polls, they're never wrong. Me.
They like the Oracle. I think it was.
Just is what it is. You've got to go with the people
right neck I can we skip this one?
Why don't you? Oh, you're not going to like it.
Oh yeah. I mean, I don't care what that
car would look like. Lots of trouble, usually
serious. They.
If they made it, it wouldn't work.
I've had a few lotuses I've had in a lamb and I've had an Esprit
S4S and I'd love and we saw one the other day.
I'd love an Esprit V8 now. I can't help you.
He's not allowed to buy any more cars anyway.
Well, he's certainly not allowed to buy that from me.
I will not be putting my name to a Lotus.
So this was obviously unveiled in 2010 at the Parish Motor
Show, which obviously got shadows like a new.
Lamborghini Terra Mania or whatever.
Yeah, it's that's got that, isn't it?
There is the same day as the Jaguar CX-75 plan this freeze
obviously 612 horsepower V8, then there's on the move again.
Sorry everyone. A7 speed DSG development was
claimed to be going well after Esprit's show debut, but Lotus
Cash reserves ran out and the shock and the man who was all up
for it was sat so can't. Yeah, so best thing, best thing
Lotus have done actually. So cancel.
Stop making cars. They were.
They were Norfolk, but no. Yeah.
What was that one you had? And TTVR was Blackpool, wasn't
it? Or.
Yeah, Blackpool TVR was Blackpool Amira.
Lotus Amira. I mean, just learn your lesson
and move on. I do like a Lotus, I must admit,
but why that I don't know. Because it's not even like
they're at a price point where, like Carl, look for the money,
they do a great job because they're expensive.
That Amira, to be fair, it looked it looked good and then
like the quality of it and everything was.
The quality Lotus will never have a good quality finish.
They'll also never be reliable and they, they tend to go to,
and you're kind of in this gang really, they tend to go to a
cult of people who even if they don't like Lotus, they've got to
stand by them because British, British, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it looks like it's nice that they're still having a go
in. There, I mean, I'm super shallow
because I like the way a Lamborghini Hurricane looks.
I think a Lamborghini Hurricane looks really nice.
That looks exactly like a Lamborghini Hurricane from every
single angle. But because it has a Lotus
badge, I think it's disgusting. There you go, There we go.
That's where we're at now. It's yeah, I don't know, like
that. That actually probably would
have done well for Lotus. Because they do a lot of really
good track cars like the Elise and stuff like that.
If you're going on a track day, some of those cars are like
they're meant for that. So they're just, they just keep
going and they're a good car. But yeah, I don't know.
I saw where where we where we saw that Lotus Esprit the
weekend. We were somewhere at the
weekend. Do you fit in the Lotus?
We're at Donington. Do you do you fit in them OK?
Quite tall. Yeah.
I can't. Remember what it was like?
It's been a long. Time.
I mean you, you'd struggle, I think because they are tiny.
Yeah, the Malaysians are so small.
They're tight. They're they're, it's the
footwear thing to step across as well.
Yeah. But that I just remember that
that Esprit in its day was just like it was.
But I suppose it was almost like a, a poor man's Lambo.
It was, you know, it was like an amazing car, but you don't have
the Lambo if you had the money. But it wasn't like it was a cool
car. I didn't a yellow one.
Very, very cool. What did everyone think to Lotus
Esprit Reese? 5050.
Yeah, I wouldn't have. You wouldn't have gone for one
of them. No, no.
Right. Next, it's a bit meh.
It's a bit 6/7. Bit 6-7.
Love it, right? Lamborghini Asterion.
This was only 10 years ago. I've never heard of that car
before. Interesting it.
It is interesting is. It A4 seater, yeah.
Is it a four seater? So this was the basically this
was the what a Urus was going to be.
So this was the the Urus. This got scrapped and the Urus
came into the chat. So carbon fibre monocoque from
the Aventador 5.2 litre V10 Hurricane engine with free
electric motors. This was this was the the
company's future. This was going to be it until it
went to the SUV, the the Urus and obviously that now has
become their most do you know the the Uruses?
They've sold more Uruses than all the other cars ever put
together. Really, everything.
Everything ever, All the cars together.
So Lamborghini are actually an SUV brand, Yes.
And on the side they make the odd super car it's.
Very much the top shape of the Eurosonic.
Side yeah, it's just like it's it reminds me of do you
remember? I remember seeing that first
time I saw Porsche Panamera me and Darbra in Italy and sort of
like they took a a lovely looking Porsche and just made
this. But can you remember when they
they remember the first generation Cayenne that came
out? It was the ugliest thing that's
ever been made. I mean, go back to that square
where Justin Martin, it had nothing on an early Cayenne.
They were awful, terrible. And the Panamera sort of came on
from that. You just couldn't get it right.
It's just a, it's an awkward size for a sports car.
They want to try to make it a sports.
Car. So there's that.
This and it the same thing again.
It fits in SUV because it's a big car, it's high, you can get
away with it. That Panamera was just like a
stretched elongated 9/11. No, it didn't work.
It was like a 9/11 with a bit in the middle.
Wouldn't. It it didn't.
Work. But see that Persangue or
whatever, it's got the same sort of thing going on as this,
doesn't it? Sort of like this big long.
But because it's raised, you get away with it.
Yeah, because it's, I know they don't say it's an SUV and they
refuse to say it's an SUV. But it you know, we know it is
an SUV because it's higher up and it's raised.
It don't look as long. No, because it's in proportion.
Yeah, proportion. See what you mean?
But that just looks like. I I don't know what I think of
this really. It's interesting because you see
it's got the back end of a like it's got the back end of a
lumber, that's for certain. The there's a.
Hurricane at the back. Yeah, the front looks a bit
weird. Front.
I mean, yeah, but now I'm I'm, I'm probably going to give this
one a miss. But although I think because the
engine it's got it would be a great car, I don't like the
looks of it and I can see why they didn't make it.
Now this is going to Jane. Yes.
Is that one which would be allowed on the drive now?
No. OK, straight in.
Is there anything we're allowed? No.
OK, Reece, what's the chat saying on that?
I may have put Lotus instead of Lambo.
Brilliant. Well done.
But it's 51% said yes, but that's not the Lotus or Lambo.
Absolutely superb. How's that out of your out of
all of these? Oh, that's a question.
Which one are you taking, Jag? The Jag, Yeah.
Mark. Volkswagen.
For me, I'm torn between the Volkswagen and the Bugatti, but
I'm going to go Bugatti. Greatest car ever made.
Interesting. Interesting.
Can you imagine having an SUV Veyron?
Unbelievable. See all of you won't be able.
To drive it because it would just cost too much.
But you bought you. You've accepted that when you
bought it, so you know you can't complain.
See, say, a Bugatti. Now how many have lost money?
None. Literally.
Yeah, none. How does that it's not a Bugatti
in the world that is worth less than it cost?
But then that's just mind blowing, isn't it?
What a business model. It's fantastic.
Well, technically they've, they've lost a lot of money on
research and development and manufacturing costs.
They've like lost a fortune, but I think that was just a bit of a
tax break for Volkswagen. But from retail price to today's
price, they're all worth more so.
If you basically managed to get in with Bugatti, you're making
money basically. Well, you've got to ride the
wave because they weren't always like that.
So they're going to go down. So they were on halved.
Did it really? Yeah, yeah, halved.
So what was it 5? 555 hundred 550 was the lowest
they ever were. And did you know they were going
to get back up or? Well, when I bought 1, I bought
one for 650. Did you?
Yeah. And yeah.
And of course I knew and that's why I bought it and enjoyed it
and. But these Cherons, they don't go
down anymore, do they? But they did go down.
But they did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you know a Cheron hit. I remember.
High high ones and they cost mid twos.
Well, we we went to where? Where did we go?
We got taken by Chris and it didn't we to to a show and there
was a guy on there and he, he ordered a Bugatti.
Yeah, Geneva, he bought he he ordered the guy on on our plane
ordered a Bugatti Chiron on that day.
The. Dentist.
Is that who it was? Yeah.
And he, he, he put. Was that his gangster name?
Like his street name? He was two point the.
Dentist £2.4 million, yeah. And on that day at the car show
he put a deposit down for £400,000.
And they'd have kept that deposit for probably two or
three years. Would it be years and years and
years? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So. It's not just the 400 you put
down, it's you know how much that 400 could have made you or
earned you or or even appreciated in something else in
the three years. And then it like then he might
have lost £1,000,000 if he'd sold it straight.
Away and then he obviously if he sold it straight away, he
wouldn't have lost a million, he'd have lost half a million,
but now he'd probably make half a million.
But it's still not worth it, is it?
Yeah. It is worth it.
Yeah, they are unreal. I mean the camera.
Do you know what we're going to do?
This is what we're going to do. Me and you.
We're going to make a we're. Going to make another video at
mine and you'll. Have you ever driven a Veyron?
No. OK, You're coming to drive.
You're coming to drive my Veyron.
I have two of them. We could, we could race.
This would be a big problem for me.
It will be a big problem for. You, you will never, you will
never talk about Bugatti the same again.
No, we will you. Will go back.
You'll go back back home and you'll go.
Jane, give me a picture of that Bugatti SUV in a minute.
Let me go. I think you'll get bored.
You know what? I get it now.
Honestly, when we went hypercar shopping and we came to see you,
we went to see that Bugatti Veyron and we'd seen the Porsche
918 at that time. I'd seen the P1.
We went round the corner and that Bugatti was there and it
was like, it was like a literally a different world.
Like it was just, everything about that car was just like,
it's a different level even to the P1.
It was. Oh.
Yeah, no, 100% it. Is everything about it, the
stature, how it looked, it sounded, just everything about.
And the only reason which it was could never be in consideration
is because I understand as as we all do here, how hard it is to
earn £10,000. And it just seems like it's like
burning money to, to run that car.
If it wasn't for that, then it would have been very, very if.
If I'm honest, I'd rather what we said in the video, I'd rather
have had a sheer A Veyron than AP.
One I think. I think a Veyron or Sheeran is a
step above what we, what we call a hypercar.
Yeah, so, so like a LaFerrari is one of my favorite cars of all
time. Like it's, it's it's I, I'm
absolutely in love with a LaFerrari.
But I don't think LaFerrari is on the same level as, as a car,
as a as a Chiron is. I think a Chiron is is a
different level. It was when we were talking to
Stevie, he was saying that he had a viron cost him.
Like I think he said it cost him 125,000.
It was $150,000 in like 6 months in problems and then he's had a
sheer on now. Yeah.
But you know what it's it's about, it's all about the
history of the car that you're buying, a car sold recently
which has really pushed the prices up or, or certainly
pushing the prices up of of of Veyrons.
It was a 700 kilometer Veyron that had no UK taxes paid.
I think it was a Swiss car and it had I think 1 service in its
life, which is not a good thing. And that car sold for just shy
of £2,000,000. Because the miles.
Because of the miles, now it doesn't stop there because that
car had not been maintained. I know somebody who was
interested in the guy, he had the car inspected.
It needed thick end of 200,000 lbs spending on the car even
though it done 700 kilometers. But this is where I'm going to
try and sell you a Veyron there. It's like you with with with
your business. You know you what you sell and
what it costs to manufacture like any business is 2 very
different things. So if you go to Bugatti and you
say right, I want you to do all this work, I want you to replace
all these parts. We're talking Volkswagen parts.
We're talking parts that cost what goes on a Volkswagen
Transporter. They can't charge you 9 grand
for a, a, a wing mirror motor that's from a Transporter.
That might only be worth 9 grand.
OK, so you just need to know how to box smart.
Yeah. And I, I can give someone advice
that they can own a Bugatti Veyron.
They could service it every year, which I wouldn't service
it every year anyway. I'd service it every two years
because that's how I service mine every two years and I think
it could cost you £15,000 a year.
No, I'm in. And that I'm very, very, very
confident. Very confident that that's the
maximum it would cost. There's great specialists out
there that can service one for 7 1/2 grand.
Then you got 7 1/2 grand of Volkswagen parts that need
replacing. Well, that's a lot of parts.
But what happens when it breaks? Doesn't break because you're
buying it from me, who only sells the world's best examples
of cars. Doesn't break.
Not even you could break it. They are like a tank mate.
They they're indestructible. Please come down when you do the
podcast next week. We'll do another video when
you're driving the Veyron. See the Veyron to me is a hyper
car. When you say hyper car, that was
the car like the P1 is utterly amazing but to me that Bugatti
value on the. Bugatti was 10 years before the
P1. It's mad, isn't it?
10 years but. The trouble is, well, I remember
when there were 600 grand, then there were 800.
What are they now? Well, I've got one for 1.5, I've
got one for 1.350 and they're only going one way.
Because the one that one I saw you add beautiful colour.
I've got it back that car. Yeah.
Is it like the silvery? Colour silver.
It's a 2 tone silver and grey. I've got an all black one as
well. And you said that's what 600 did
you say? 600 plus a few part exchanges
that you've got. Right.
This is took a turn Reece. We're doing another video.
Let's do it. Right.
What was filming other than that?
Right quickly, we are filming. What you on this week?
What you doing? Porsche video, which Carl's
going to try and help us find a car, which we're going to talk
to you. All right, OK, let me know.
And the stolen X5 video, which we've put on Instagram.
I'm looking for the owner of this X5.
It is crazy. You know all about it.
Yeah, I'm just not saying too much because knowing me, I'll
probably. Play.
So can you, can you give me a hint of what's going on?
No, but I'll tell you in a minute, OK?
And also another KTM video on its way.
Yes, they are here right now. So KTM Patrick, Patrick is here
right this second. He's working.
He's probably just finished, sort of just saw and they're
amazing. Like honestly, KTM brand, I
don't get anything from them. They don't pay me anything like
that. But like I've said, there's a
couple of things we need to sort out.
I've sent a man over. Yes.
Good. Where's Patrick now then?
On his own. He's in the Premier Inn, yeah.
Great hospitality. Well, we couldn't bring him
here, could we? Why?
Well, look at the noise. Which?
And he doesn't speak English. With a name like Patrick, he
doesn't speak English. Does he not speak?
English speaks very he didn't that that's disrespectful.
Patrick French, he speak I only speak a couple of words in he's
he's Austrian. I only speak a couple of words
in German which I told him. The one which you probably know
about, which he found very funny.
Only know. I know a few.
Yeah, exactly. So that which he found funny,
but. But Ryan could speak Polish, so
Ryan could speak to him. You speak Polish, yeah?
But that's a different. I don't think it works like
that. I don't.
Think both. I don't think foreign is.
A language, but it's he's got probably got more chance of
understanding him than than English.
I like what you're thinking, but I don't think there's English
and foreign. So tomorrow night, then when we
take him out to dinner, we're going to have to have iPad in
the middle of the table and we'll have to.
Just talk for that will. Translate.
Now he he's, he did a lot of laughing, but I think he laughs,
yeah. It's like, I don't understand
that. Doesn't understand, but so he
just laughs. Yeah, so he just laughs.
You find yourself sometimes when you talk to people like that,
you just say the randomest things and then you nod your
head and they go like, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just to check if you don't.
Understand speaking rid of the apps then.
Or like like Patrick? Yes, you will, KTM.
My dad used to like if you're on the phone, he'd say I bring you
the bars and like he had like he had his.
Slow and loud. Didn't matter what language it
was, he had the same. Like in Spanish, everything is
L. It was Ethan was loud and Ethan
was slow. LL Biero El pixo El Caro.
La Catia Maro, Right. Brilliant.
Thank you, everybody. Hope you enjoyed that.
What for? It's only a Bugatti.
We'll be. Fine, enjoying next week when
there's Bugatti on Mark's drive.
