Been a subscriber since it was called Car Pervert.

His Barn Find episodes are often quite good. Trying to limit my YT timewasting at the moment though

I was always drawn to VW's and had 2 early MK2 Gti's and a mk 2 Scirocco Gti. I had friends who had the other options from Renault, MG, Vauxhall, Ford and Peugeot and it is the french cars i would go to now. A Renault 21 Turbo Quadra and a 1.9gti pug please

edit: slightly newer but i really would like a Saab Viggen, too.

You have a keen eye, sir. Some might say an obsessive's eye. I wouldn't be that person, though.

Thanks for the video. I still own, and am having my late dad's 1973 Austin 1300 GT fully restored by a retired gentleman in his 80s. It was the first car my late father bought, after emigrating here from Ireland in 1980. It was used to take him to work at British Leyland plants at Canley and Longbridge, until it was mothballed at 12 years old in 1985. It then sat in garages at various houses for 38 years, until in 2023, I finally decided to get it done. Should make its return to the road after a 40 year absence this summer!

Pics please

That’s an incredible find! Seeing a classic 80s hot hatch come back to life after 20+ years is amazing. The Peugeot 205 GTI is a true icon—hope the restoration goes smoothly! Are you planning a full rebuild or just getting it roadworthy again? Looking forward to updates! I was skeptical about online academic services until I tried Academized, which you can find https://academized.com/ here. As a university student, I had to submit multiple assignments at once, and their essay writing service helped me tremendously at Academized here. Their expert writers crafted a perfect paper, backed by research, proper citations, and logical arguments. I couldn’t have asked for better support!

Wow, brings back great memories. I had a flashback recollection of reg number whilst watching…. G637 PBW. Unbelievably the car is still on the road today. Great to see!

My first car was a Renault 5 gt turbo. I’d love to buy one again to restore and build. Doing the same with a stinky Dee lux of similar era.
I just think the older stuff holds much more appeal over the new
