Can We Save A Scrap Car?

This week, Ethan, Jack and Edwin try to find a scrap car to save and put back on the road before it ends up being crushed or dismantled for parts. We'll tour Silverlake Automotive Recycling to see what we can find, and even go around their pick and pull yard to see what parts we can find for our rescued car too.

Let’s change the throwaway culture to a repair and rebuild culture!

4 months later and the Porsche we see at 2:38 is in AutoAlex's unit. So it really happened, CT made the final 3 presenters walk away and team up with Alex again. CarThrottle, you've had it. RIP.

Was great to have Jack, Edwin and Ethan at our Silverlake Depot! Also really pleased to see the 106 back on the road and hopefully a great working relationship with Car Throttle to come!

2:41 Top Dead Center porsche! Maybe this was truly fate after all!

There is something about saving little nugget hatchbacks from the scrappers that really warms my heart..

£300 is an absolute bargain for that 106. What a joyous little car!

[CrAzYDrveR]

this could be a series, saving cars one by one...

[nikolascrysikopoulos]

Cannot describe how happy this video made me. Please make this a series.

[Valthonia]

I can't get over how clean that car is, amazing find!

[NavGTI]

2:34 the best foreshadowing in YouTube history

[lettuce]

This the Saxo and the Clio on a NC 500 road trip? That would be one hell of a series

Edwin is like a car wizard historian. I learn so much from him. Always pointing out interesting shit about cars.

[YTPlayz]

It breaks my heart to see so many cool and interesting cars destined for the scrap yard

[markatherstone]

You've just bagged yourself a very rare car! That's got the 1.4 TUD3 engine, they're very slow but the MPG they achieve is INSANE and the engines are practically bomb proof! That engine held the Guinness world record for the furthest distance driven on a gallon of fuel for over a decade. It achieved 104MPG (87MPG-US) when it was fitted to the Citroen AX in 1989 and was only knocked off the top spot by the Peugeot 207 (IIRC) with the 1.4 HDi (DV4) engine.

What's even better is if its fitted with the Bosch fuel pump rather than the Lucas, you can run that on 100% cooking oil which makes running it even cheaper!

[FazedInferno]

Is anyone else shocked about how many newer cars are in the scrappy?

[SiliconShortsYouTube]

Please make this a regular series with that place! Absolute goldmine of content there

[LostMemry]

I was kinda worried about what would happen to CT with the departure of Alex... but I actually think everyone benefited from it. CT seems to be better than ever, and Alex is happy doing his own thing. It's like one of those rare instances where everyone wins.

What an incredible car!! Its in beautiful condition as well! Love the seats, carpet, paint, everything about it is so perfect!

[SunnyD]

300 quid for a low number special edition 106 is a steal, I know as my Aztec SI was a lot more, christ even my 1.1 series 2 was more than twice that. The 1.3 diesels in these do like to blow a head gasket now and then, and they make about 49hp, but the mpg from them is immense. Nearly bought a key west myself, the colour (and the green seatbelts) are pure 90s excellence. Love it !

I’m actually jealous, I had one of these as my first car, I loved it. Handled like it was on rails, did galactic miles on a tank of fuel and nothing ever went wrong with it. I think the lack of performance and powered steering would be challenging for a Daily now, but I’d still love another one!
