Speaker A

This year, I've taken on my biggest challenge yet. Not only repairing a crash-damaged Bugatti Chiron, but also buying my own Bugatti Veyron, which had a lot of problems. The engine line, a coolant line, and fixing both of them. And all of this we've had to do without Bugatti's help. [music] Whether they didn't think it was safe, or they just don't think it's safe, or they just wanted the car in their possession to work on. [music]

Speaker A

them. And all of this we've had to do without Bugatti's help. [music] Whether they didn't think it was safe, but we just don't think it's safe, or they just wanted the car in their possession. to work on. [music]

Speaker A

So, the car would have to be on the flight with ourselves set up. It ordered easily. But the story doesn't stop there. I've just been offered another Bugatti Veyron which has a lot more [music] problems and the owner is looking to sell. And with Bugatti prices on the rise at the minute and us knowing the cars almost inside out, it seems like a no-brainer to at least go and have a look. The issue is it's not in the UK, it's [music] all the way over in Dubai.

Speaker A

But the story doesn't stop there. I've just been offered another Bugatti Veyron which has a lot more [music] problems and the owner is looking to sell. And with Bugatti prices on the rise at the minute and us know in the cars almost

Speaker A

Now, I'm going to put this down to the law of attraction. The one car that if it [music] was crashed and an ability to fix, you would absolutely love to have a go at Bugatti for 100%. [music] Even if you told me last year I'd have the chance to work on a Bugatti, let alone own one and potentially two now, I'd think you'd have gone insane.

Speaker A

Now, I'm going to put this down to law of attraction. The one car that if it [music] was crashed and an ability to fix, you would absolutely love to have a go at Bugatti for 100%. [music] Even if you told me last year I'd have

Speaker A

Touchdown in Dubai. And remember, they only made 450 of them. And even if you wanted to buy one, there's barely any advertised [music] for sale. What he said is he's got a bunch of faults. One of them you can't get reverse, which is a big, which is a bit of a tricky one because my one that we bought had no gears at all, didn't it? Turned out just to be a fuse.

Speaker A

touchdown in Dubai. And remember, they only made 450 of them. And even if you wanted to buy one, there's barely any advertised [music] for sale. What he said is he's got it's got a bunch of faults. One of them you

Speaker A

This one, no reverse, which is a little bit more sketchy. But we know a lot of them are simple fixes. When I had no gears at the bottom of the mountain in Switzerland, [music] it was a brake switch. Like, could it be a sticky brake switch? Could it be something simple? But the thing is, if we're looking for a bargain, we don't want to tell him what it is.

Speaker A

This one, no reverse, which is a little bit more sketchy. But we know a lot of them are simple fixes. When I had no gears at the bottom of the mountain in Switzerland, [music] it was a brake switch. Like, could it be

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah. We don't want to tell him what it is. And another thing, this car doesn't start, which could be anything. And we know these Bugattis can cost hundreds of thousands to repair, but sometimes the fixes are really simple. No one will touch this car in Dubai at the minute because everyone's scared of touching Veyrons. There's no one who's got insurance to do it. Nobody even knows too much about them. Normally just go straight to Bugatti. I don't even know if there's a Bugatti in Dubai. Let's see. It could be [music] anything. It could be absolutely anything. It could even be a dead battery. And what's getting me more excited? This is a one-of-one Bugatti Veyron, but we'll explain more on that a little later. For now, we've arrived at the car. [music]

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah. We don't want to tell him what it is. And another thing, this car doesn't start, which could be anything. And we know these Bugattis can cost hundreds of thousands to repair, but sometimes the fixes are really simple. No one will

Speaker A

Now, the car was listed for sale at this dealership. But since it started getting the issues, it was removed from the sale and stored off the showroom as the owner of the dealership didn't want to sell a faulty car. Hence why the car is stored at the back. Now, yes, it's a brave color, and we'll get on to that later. But for now, we were left alone with the car so we could run through it to see if we could diagnose the issue. Then I could decide whether I was going to buy it. First thing I'm checking is whether it [music] goes into gear.

Speaker A

if there's a Bugatti in Dubai. Let's see. Let Let's It could be [music] anything. It could be absolutely anything. It could even be a dead battery. And what's getting me more excited? This is a oneofone Bugatti Veyron, but we'll explain more on that a

Speaker A

And the odd time it would and then other [music] times it wouldn't. But I could hear the gearbox pump building the [music] pressure in the gearbox. So I know the fuse that went on my other Veyron hasn't gone on this one.

Speaker A

to sell a faulty car. Hence why the car is stored at the back. Now, yes, it's a brave color, and we'll get on to that later. But for now, we were left alone with the car so we could run through it

Speaker A

Oh, next thing. Will it [music] stop? And it did [music] start up, but cut straight out.

Speaker A

And the odd time it would and then other [music] times it wouldn't. But I could hear the gearbox pump building the [music] pressure in the gearbox. So I know the fuse that went on my other Veyron hasn't gone on this one.

Speaker A

I'm not just cut straight out. That's... And if you've watched the previous videos, you know exactly what this meant.

Speaker A

I'm not just cut straight out. That's And if you've watched the previous videos, you know exactly what this meant.

Speaker A

Put your foot on the brake. I think I know exactly what's wrong with this car. And if you seen the brake lights, some of you might know why this car was sometimes selecting gears and sometimes not.

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah. Because I [music] can see the brake lights. I'm pressing it. Nothing. Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah. Because I [music] can see the brake lights. I'm pressing it. Nothing. Yeah.

Speaker A

expecting to see the fuel control module fault as well, just like my other Veyron.

Speaker A

I'll just have a look on the auto. It's got an airbag fault as well. Now, there were more faults on the dashboard, [music] including an airbag light. So, I plugged in the auto just to read the codes. And whilst I was there, I was expecting to see the fuel control module fault as well, just like my other Veyron.

Speaker A

little amount of people who are able to fix that. Well, I'm sure a lot of people are capable of fixing it, but there's not many people who know how to fix that. And I think I know. We don't know

Speaker A

Fuel pump control module, no signal, brake switch, brake switch. Thank you very much. Okay, we've seen the car. We couldn't film much, but I'm fairly confident we can fix that. And we're one of, it's crazy to say, but we're one of very little amount of people who are able to fix that. Well, I'm sure a lot of people are capable of fixing it, but there's not many people who know how to fix that. And I think I know. We don't know the full extent of the car whether it had any faults before that. But we know that the car starts and then cuts straight off and it won't select some gears. I didn't try to get reverse.

Speaker A

That's the only thing I didn't try to get. I got neutral the odd time.

Speaker A

That's the only thing I didn't try to get. I got neutral the odd time.

Speaker A

showing how to fix that car. So, we're like, we need to buy it quickly and Matt's too nice of a guy. Like, he's trying to be like, yeah, like we don't know the issue and yeah, you're you're too nice. [laughter]

Speaker A

But I think we can fix it. If we hadn't have fixed mine, we'd have never known what was going on with that. What you guys don't know is that today's Saturday and tomorrow we're posting the video [laughter] showing how to fix that car. So, we're like, we need to buy it quickly and Matt's too nice of a guy. Like, he's trying to be like, yeah, like we don't know the issue and yeah, you're you're too nice. [laughter]

Speaker A

And we diagnose this to be a fuel hose which sits on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. And these get perished over time due to high ethanol fuel.

Speaker A

It's so bad. Like now to explain my Veyron had the exact same non-start fault.

Speaker A

Yeah, that's all finished. and we filmed a video fixing this fault on mine, but at [music] this point that video wasn't posted. So, at this point, there's not really common knowledge on how to fix that car. And as for the not selecting

Speaker A

And we diagnosed this to be a fuel hose which sits on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. And these get perished over time due to high ethanol fuel.

Speaker A

We also think my Veyron had the same fault. [music] That's it. My car wouldn't go into gear and it was due to a sticky brake switch.

Speaker A

That's that's all perished, [music] isn't it? That's all, that's all soggy. Yeah, that's that's finished, isn't it?

Speaker A

[music] had. So, we are flying back now. We had about 15 20 minutes with the car at best and now I've got to make the decision. Am I gonna buy another Veyron?

Speaker A

Yeah, that's all finished. And we filmed a video fixing this fault on mine, but at [music] this point that video wasn't posted. So, at this point, there's not really common knowledge on how to fix that car. And as for the not selecting gears, I'm in the car. I'm trying to put it in reverse. Nothing. [music] Nothing.

Speaker A

We'll find out. Back to the UK. Matt's been buying cars even when he's not in the country. [laughter] And it's my job to take delivery of it. Check it's okay. I don't know what I'm looking for.

Speaker A

We also think my Veyron had the same fault. [music] That's it. My car wouldn't go into gear and it was due to a sticky brake switch.

Speaker A

Came with [laughter] Yeah. Apparently this is like a one of one Oakley [music] design. Whatever that means. Probably means something to someone. But this is a choice. Just put glitter on it. Sparkle.

Speaker A

Because the car doesn't realize you're pressing the brake, it won't let you select a gear and all it was was the brake switch which was sticking. So, there is potential that this Veyron in Dubai has the same problems that mine [music] had. So, we are flying back now. We had about 15, 20 minutes with the car at best and now I've got to make the decision. Am I gonna buy another Veyron?

Speaker A

I prefer it. [crying] Yeah. And this [music] is truly one of a kind. Oh my god.

Speaker A

I think we can fix it. I think anything's fixable, but it's whether we take the risk. And I think we're going to get a really good price.

Speaker A

Oh, that's cool. Look at that. That's hilarious. And there's the mark from Oakley [music] Design. But check this out.

Speaker A

We'll find out. Back to the UK. Matt's been buying cars even when he's not in the country. [laughter] And it's my job to take delivery of it. Check it's okay. I don't know what I'm looking for.

Speaker A

reverse. So what the hell has happened between the car being in Dubai and then getting delivered [music] to the UK?

Speaker A

Wow. Oh my. Yes. Oh, look at that. It's like took your suitcase through it.

Speaker A

And it looks way more crazier than we first were when we first seen it in Dubai. Here it is. The Oakley Design Bugatti Veyron. One of one in the entire world. And I've just bought it at an absolute bargain price.

Speaker A

Came with [laughter] Yeah. Apparently this is like a one of one Oakley [music] design. Whatever that means. Probably means something to someone. But this is a choice. Just put glitter on it. Sparkle.

Speaker A

This started off life as a regular Bugatti Veyron, but then was commissioned from a company called Oakley Design for a special [music] customer. New panels were made out of lighter carbon fiber, making the whole car 50 kg [music] lighter than the

Speaker A

Ladies and gentlemen, my second Bugatti Veyron [music] is here. What do you think then? Do you like it or not?

Speaker A

Complete overhaul everywhere. Carbon fiber, all created by a good design. In fact, pretty much everything you're looking at is new.

Speaker A

I prefer it. [crying] Yeah. And this [music] is truly one of a kind. Oh my god.

Speaker A

This car achieved 278 mph. If you search this car, it is all over the internet and there's only one of them.

Speaker A

[music] There is a whole lot of yellow and carbon in this car. Wow. With a little surprise at the back.

Speaker A

their issues, which is how I've come to get it at a bargain. Now, when we was in Dubai and we checked over the car, of course, they wouldn't let us film inside the dealership. They didn't want to be known selling a faulty

Speaker A

Oh, that's cool. Look at that. That's hilarious. And there's the mark from Oakley [music] Design. But check this out.

Speaker A

only did it start, it also went into gear and drove out. So, let me show you if it Let me show you now that the car still starts. Check this out.

Speaker A

The car started and drove off the trailer. Now, at this point, Hannah didn't know whether the car should start or run or what condition it was [music] actually going to be in. But not only did it run and drive, it also went into [music] reverse. So what the hell has happened between the car being in Dubai and then getting delivered [music] to the UK?

Speaker A

So [laughter] the car either seems to have fixed itself from flying from Dubai to the UK or someone may have fixed it for us and we know that it was such a small fault.

Speaker A

Do you like it? My first Wel

Speaker A

that, it seems that someone's done a little bit of extra work inside here. I got a letter from the company that this car went to to have the fuel tank to [music] to have the fuel tank drained of fuel before it

Speaker A

went on the plane. And the best thing about it is they figured out it was going to me and I got this long letter.

Speaker A

the company called Dom Auto. They said their team was tasked with draining the fuel tank, [music] draining the fuel from the Bugatti. And on the process, they stumbled across evidence [music] stating that it was my Bugatti. They said, "However, when the car arrived to

Speaker A

us, it failed to start or run. And guess what? We watched your video and they found the exact same fault on this." And they [music] said, "My team took the liberty of changing those faulty hoses on both pumps based on the same video."

Speaker A

you posted yourself, making [music] it at least starting and running when it reached you in the UK. So, actually, the video that we was worried about posting because it would give away the fix for this car actually ended up working in

Speaker A

our favor because somebody's done the job that we was about to do. That is a massive, massive win. And I thought this video was going to be way [music] more in depth and way longer than than this.

Speaker A

But sometimes cars do just fix themselves. But we wasn't in the clear just yet because we started to get more problems.

Speaker A

Might stop beeping and stuff. Oh no, it's not starting. Oh. Oh, there we go.

Speaker A

Maybe it's a sticky switch. Oh, wait. Did that just cut out? Yeah, it just cut out.

Speaker A

Oh, no. Maybe they didn't fix the fuel. So on Yeah, it's not working. It's not working at all.

Speaker A

Should we try the off and off on and off trick? Door open, close. Oh no. goes into gear, but it's like the start button's not working.

Speaker A

Could it be the fact there's no fuel in it? No, we've got 30% fuel, but it's not cranking.

Speaker A

Oh. Oh no. as if we just filmed a whole clip saying it's fixed and how lucky we are and then now it's just stopped working.

Speaker A

The only thing I could think of is that we're trusting in another company's work here, but it doesn't explain why it don't start every time. Oh, it could explain why it don't start every time because if it doesn't read fuel pressure, it might

Speaker A

not crank. The only way for me to see exactly what's going on with this car is to get the auto out and to read the fault codes. So fault codes we've got [music] is again fuel pump control module no signal which

Speaker A

is the same fault we had in Dubai. Then we've got brake switch implausible signal but that's passive. So I assume I can see the brake lights lighting up.

Speaker A

[music] So I assume that's unstuck itself but that was a fault at some point. But the only active ones we've got are fuel pump control module. We got lock for central locking [music] front passenger side.

Speaker A

Implausible. Ah, key switch mechanical malfunction. [music] That could be our issue. So, the key switch has just broken us.

Speaker A

It could be the key [music] switch combined with the fuel pump control module. When you turn the key in the ignition, it activates an ignition switch which allows you to turn the car on. And according to the [music] auto,

Speaker A

we have a problem with it. But on top of that, we still have the fault for the fuel control module. There could be an issue with both of them.

Speaker A

The key was quite stiff in the barrel. So, my first step was just to give it some WD40 to grease it up a bit and hope that helped with the start issue. That was really stiff.

Speaker A

I don't think this keys recognize it, but still didn't [music] help. This car is just the weirdest car. So, it goes into gear. The fuel hose hoses did work for a bit.

Speaker A

I think they've either used the wrong fuel fuel hoses or the wrong clamps. I think we're going to see it popped off a bit. I would be more happy if I've seen [music] that myself as well rather than

Speaker A

be trusting somebody else's work who wasn't getting paid. We didn't pay them to do [music] that. So, they did it voluntarily and it did the job of getting on the airplane and off the airplane. This key fault is a completely

Speaker A

different fault. Key switch malfunction. But before we jump to anything, I need to get that spare [music] key. Okay, let's get the car in the ramp. Let's get the fuel out of it. Let's check the fuel lines. Let's check every single thing

Speaker A

that went wrong on my car before we jump to anything else because clearly it's not behaving. But we're the guys for it.

Speaker A

Watch this. Oh, it cranked. It cranked. Yeah. Yeah. Cool car, dude. Nice ornament you got there, bro.

Speaker A

Yeah. 101. So, we have suspicion that the fuel hose, which is connected to the fuel pump, has either popped off or split because the guys that repaired it may have used the incorrect hose or just bad clamps. Whilst we got the car on the

Speaker A

ramp, it gave us a good opportunity to check underneath it. And we can see the brake cooling pipe. Cooling line is off.

Speaker A

Disconnected [music] from the wheel hub. Drive shaft boot is leaking. Let me get And it looks like the drive shaft boot is leaking out of the CV joint.

Speaker A

Something we've got to address once we get this car running. Other than that, the other side of the car looked pretty good. The drive shaft was good there.

Speaker A

There was a few scuffs and scrapes to the splitter and the under tray, but nothing too drastic at all. And everything else was covered by this huge carbon under tray. And to get to the fuel pump, we've got to remove this

Speaker A

under tray in the middle and remove the big under tray at the back. That will give us access to the access panel in the fuel tank where we're hoping to find the fault. As for the reason why the

Speaker A

button doesn't work sometimes, my first thought before we jump to any conclusions is to get the main key for the car. At the minute, we've got the spare one and the main key are with the guys that helped us import the car,

Speaker A

which we'll get to later. I think it's what I expected, you know, like it's better than my one is, but it's lower mileage and it's newer.

Speaker A

With all the under trays off, everything did look pretty good underneath and I can start removing the access [music] panels into the fuel tank. But to get to the fuel pumps, first I've got to drain the fuel out.

Speaker A

Oh, there we go. Okay. Okay. So, there is fuel in it. Once I've drained out the remaining fuel that was in the car, I should be able to continue removing the access panel underneath the fuel [music] tank.

Speaker A

And once I get this out, I can now get to the fuel pump. Let's get these fuel pumps out and check these hoses. We're hoping it's the hose and not a faulty fuel pump. You can see both fuel pumps

Speaker A

sit inside [music] these aluminum buckets here. There's a few brackets holding it in place which I've got to undo. And then when [music] I remove the fuel pump, I immediately saw the problem.

Speaker A

Ah [laughter] I've seen the type of clamp they used. Is it a good one?

Speaker A

Don't tell me it's a zip tie. If you tell me it's a zip tie, I'm [laughter] No, no, no, no.

Speaker A

Okay, it's not a zip tie. That was it. Oh, wait. Turn around. Thank you for trying. Like, thank you.

Speaker A

Literally, thank you for trying. Just just failed at the last hurdle. They just failed at the last hurdle. But they were so close to doing it. And what I am going to do, I am going to change to the hoses just so for peace of mind I

Speaker A

know that they are intank hoses. Then we got to sort all the other issues out. So this is the reason why the car when it turns on immediately switches [music] back off again. The clamps that the guys have used aren't powerful enough to hold

Speaker A

the hoses onto [music] the fuel pump. There is a lot of pressure which goes through these and if they're not tight enough, they will pop off. So, [music] now I'm removing the other fuel pump so I can not only replace the hoses, but

Speaker A

also the clamps. What are those clamps saying? You can see here just how loose they are. They're rotating on the fittings.

Speaker A

And not only that, we can see a small split in the pipe [music] already. And that might be because they've not used the correct hose. You need a special type of hose to be able to sit in the

Speaker A

tank. I'm going to guess as well that that ain't an intank hose. Now we've got both of them out. We should be able to rectify this issue. Here is our hose from PSH that we bought for my Veyron.

Speaker A

Little did we think it would fix another Veyron. This is the submersible hose. So it can be submerged in fuel without it perishing. So we'll cut this to size because we're not sure whether they've used submersible fuel. Like you can see

Speaker A

what's it called? Submersible. Submersible. Submersible. No. No. It's It's not submersible. Oh my god. It does say submersible.

Speaker A

What did you think it was called? Submergible. Submergible. That's even worse. [laughter] The way he's emphasizing the S was just getting messable.

Speaker A

Submersible. I'm blown away. I genuinely thought it was I say submergible. That's what I said. Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah. Mable. Submergible. Where's the H? Like submersible. Submergible. Submersible. I thought it's submergible. Submergible. There's no G in it. And there's no H in it, so it's submersible.

Speaker A

Anyway, now I've got to cut the submersible hose to the shape [music] that it should be to replace the hoses that are on it already. And I've done that here. [music] How do you say submergible?

Speaker A

Merible. Which language? [laughter] Once I've cut that hose to size, I can then slide them onto the plastic fitting and then use the correct clamp to hold it [music] in place. There is a hell of a lot of pressure which goes through

Speaker A

these and the fuel travels through this into the fuel rails and then into the injectors. But why does it say there look submergible at the same time?

Speaker A

[laughter] Once I've done one hose, it's time to slide the other one onto the other fitting and clamp that down. There we go. Two hoses fix. Got to do the same on the ones on the car. And that is both

Speaker A

hoses and fittings ready to go back onto the car. Like if I put you under water, are you submersible or are you submergible?

Speaker A

Or is he submerged? [laughter] Now the hoses can slide onto the aluminum fittings on the fuel pump and then use the same clamps to hold them on there. [music] The reason the original ones usually fail is because these hoses

Speaker A

sit inside fuel for such a long time. And now some of the new fuel has really high ethanol content which [music] can end up perishing rubber hoses. So, I have to make sure in a car like this that I'm using higher octane fuel

Speaker A

[music] with a lower ethanol rating, which will preserve those submersible hoses. Luckily, this is a cheap fix and it doesn't take too long to do. Now that it's all together, we can put all the access panels all back on before we have

Speaker A

to refuel [music] it again. Whilst Neutron's filling that up, see if I can get me hand on the gearbox dipstick.

Speaker A

Here's the dipstick for the gearbox fluid. Oh, we're looking good. Looks really good, actually.

Speaker A

It's on the min, but it's enough. Do you think it's going to start? I reckon so.

Speaker A

You think it's going to stay on? Yeah. See what we got. Set everything prime up.

Speaker A

Let's give it a go. Sounds well good. You know what? She sounded really good. And the fact that a lot of the payrolls this age, including Marks, needed math sensors, spark plugs.

Speaker A

Perring that. We have a running and it started first time. So, I don't know who I don't know about the key situation. We should still go and get the normal key though, shouldn't we?

Speaker A

Cuz that didn't even Maybe turn it off. Try again. We'll try again. Yeah. Is it linked or do we do have a fully key? When I turned the key in the ignition then I will say it felt a lot

Speaker A

stiffer like when it was before whereas when we were sat there it was really light to turn it. Now we was just going to make sure that it did start up every time or do we have another issue?

Speaker A

No. And is it with the key or something else? So the kit, we definitely should try the key cuz we do have nothing again.

Speaker A

Yeah, we think we have an issue with the key. Well, we think it's the the lock.

Speaker A

It says on the auto mechanical failure with the key or something, wouldn't it? But we don't want to jump to conclusions until we've got the original key. And that is going to be our next jourer. So, we took a

Speaker A

trip up to [music] a place called Motor Hub, which some of you might know. Here we are at a very infamous [music] place, Key Mohub. Now, Kevin's excited. This is where [music] my key is. Now, Shaq at Keel at Mohub has the connection with

Speaker A

the guy that I bought the Bugatti Veyron off in Dubai. [music] Let's go get the key. And because Shaq has that connection and he buys a lot of cars from Dubai, he helped me get the Oakley Design Bugatti shipped from Dubai into

Speaker A

the UK. And now we've just got to collect the keys from him. How's it going?

Speaker A

Thank you. Wicked. Perfect. [music] So, the good news is we've not only got the original key, the proper Bugatti key. First time ever having one of them. [music] We've also got the speed key as well. So, thank you, Shaq, taking care of this car is

Speaker A

going to be imported into the UK as well. So, we're going to get UK place because it was a UK car, but we'll get on to that [music] later. For now, let's head back. We're just surrounded by the

Speaker A

guys as well at the minute. We can't get away from them. For now, let's head back. see if the key solves this starting issue. And if it don't, we got a whole can of worms to open.

Speaker A

And we're back. Now, let's see if this key works. Oh no. But it was completely [music] dead.

Speaker A

We might need to put a battery in it first [laughter] to the battery draw.

Speaker A

It looks like the original key needed a new battery. And to change the battery, we've got to completely dismantle the key. There's two bolts holding the chrome pieces to the side of it. Then that allows us to take the outer casing

Speaker A

[music] off. Then there's three more screws holding the casing together. And once you've got them out, you should be able to split the key in half. And then you can see all the components that build up the key. And to be honest,

Speaker A

there weren't much. The battery is just this small circle piece here, which we've taken out. I've put in a new one. put the electric board back in and then I've got to put the casing back together with all the bolts

Speaker A

and the screws and afterwards make sure it all works. And some of you might notice that this Bugatti key looks like a Bentley key and the spare Bugatti key like a pat key. Here we go. So, unlock.

Speaker A

We're in. See if it starts. Key is going in. Yeah, not a problem. Out it comes.

Speaker A

I feel like I know when it's going to start. I definitely think there's an issue with that lock because it feels really stiff to turn and then it's like when I turn it back, it's like it's not there's going to be springs in that

Speaker A

which flick back. It's like when I turn it back, they're not springing back. That was really easy to turn that time on. So, I don't think it's going to go.

Speaker A

Oh, okay. That's two times. What was it? Three to be a pro. Yeah, it was three in a row to be a pro.

Speaker A

Yeah. Could it have just been the key? Three in a row to be a pro. Last time we failed, we got two in a row. Here we go.

Speaker A

That's what happened last time. Same thing. Okay. Looks like Let's see if we can take that barrel apart, see what's wrong with it, and I fix it rather than replacing another one cuz it's only going to be mechanical. I

Speaker A

think it's just going to need greasing up and lubing up. Just like the door panels that the the door locks that always get stuck on these. I think it's going to be the same thing. Like if the car sat for a while and we start

Speaker A

spinning springs, I think they're going to get stuck. So, I'm going to spray a bit of WD40 in there, leave it set to sit overnight and then in the morning, we'll start taking the lock apart. So, the car starts up, but never on the

Speaker A

third time. After spraying some more WD40 in the lock, I came back the next morning to see if it would start.

Speaker A

Really stiff to [music] turn the first time. And no doubt it will start up now.

Speaker A

No doubt. No doubt. of course starts up. Not a problem. I just seen when I take the key out, it's going to do the same again every single time. Out the key comes in. The key goes.

Speaker A

Felt good that time, but recourse know three times in a row. Ah, well, two times in a row. So on VWs you can technically use any key cuz like the Toran and stuff like that on the Bentleys you can use any key to turn the

Speaker A

barrel. Yes. Now inside there they have a little um they have like a little plastic [music] piece that tends to break sometimes. If it doesn't break then it sometimes gets weak and bends. [music] When you turn a key in a car like this

Speaker A

all you're essentially doing is turning a switch which has three positions off accessories and ignition on. And the key allows you to turn that switch. And on Volkswagens, the ignition switch is at the back of the barrel. And sometimes

Speaker A

they go faulty. Ignition switches have been failing on Volkswagens since the dawn of Volkswagen time. So it again, it could be anywhere from brand new on up.

Speaker A

So I've got to dismantle the dash now to get to the ignition switch, which is attached to the back of the key barrel.

Speaker A

You look, here's the plug for it. And that ignition switch isn't in a very nice place. And to get to it, it looks like I'm going to have to strip apart half the interior. I guess they don't make this easy to get to to prevent any

Speaker A

type of fence. Should just be able to unbolt these now, which will lift this carbon away and allow me to move this bit of uh Alcantara out the way to get behind to this lock. But what I have

Speaker A

noticed is that on the button here, obviously all this has been out before. There's loads of repairs on wires and everything, but what I've noticed is that on this button here, look, there's been a repair. It looks like the ground

Speaker A

wire um is now plugged in to like here and then it bridges off and then has a separate ground down there. I don't know whether somebody thought the button was an issue before, so they reggrounded it somewhere else cuz they thought it

Speaker A

wasn't getting a ground. Who knows? But all of these wise, I am going to repair before I put the car back together. For now, I've still got to strip apart half the interior to get that ignition switch out.

Speaker A

And it is out. That was extremely hard work. Good news is that it's patched with Audi logos. So, worst worst worst case, I'm sure this is replaceable with an Audi part. But now we got to figure out what part of this is actually

Speaker A

broken. The ignition switch is at the back of the barrel. And by undoing these two screws, I should be able to pull it out of it.

Speaker A

Here is then the actual ignition switch. I'm going to turn this with a screwdriver.

Speaker A

Everything seems to be fine. It does rotate. Unless there's a poor connection in here. I can't see. This doesn't feel like broken or anything, but I mean, it seems to turn okay, but I wasn't going to take any risks. I can see a part

Speaker A

number on the back of the ignition switch, and just by a quick search, I can see it's exactly the same as a Volkswagen [music] Transporter T5, and it's only £11. So, I got one ordered.

Speaker A

Whilst I wait for this ignition switch to arrive, which should be here tomorrow, I'm going to do myself a favor and get the wheels off. I wasn't going to change the wheels. I was going to keep it original. I'm going to keep the

Speaker A

wheels, but I think we're going to switch color of them. I also need to do the drive shaft boot whilst the wheels are off. So, we might as well get this car up, take the wheels off whilst we're

Speaker A

here because the lads from Wheel Mania are coming to pick up the wheels to do the refurb on them and also change the tires cuz these tires are old. Now, the wheels on this Bugatti have been converted to center locks, [music] which

Speaker A

proved to be a problem for the center cap, which is opposite thread on the left side of the car. Okay. A lot of center locks are opposite thread on the right hand side of the car, just like this one. But these were super tight. Me

Speaker A

and Liam just managed to loosen off the front right wheel. But when it comes to the other wheels, they were extremely tight. I don't think these have been off in such a long time.

Speaker A

And we tried everything. [clears throat] [laughter] [clears throat] Where's that guy going? We then moved on to the front left [music] to see if we could loosen that one.

Speaker A

But nothing and the rear left as well. Nothing. We tried heat and we tried power tools.

Speaker A

I think that's pretty stuck. We can't get the wheels off. Well, we managed to get one loose and then now the ratchet is just trying to rotate in this tool which is opening up. So, we're going to get Bob to come down and just

Speaker A

weld either the tool the ratchet to the tool or get this square again so we can at least put some force through it. But yeah, we've got to get these wheels off anyway because eventually the brake pads will need changing. But the good news is

Speaker A

whilst we wait for Bob, we can attack that drive shaft which was um pulled out of the wheel hub and leaking all the drive shaft boot out of it. So the one wheel that we can get off is that one.

Speaker A

Let's jack it up, assess the drive shaft, and by the time we've done that, hopefully Bob would arrive and he can modify this tool. Let's go. Let's assess the damage on this front right hand side drive shaft. Just going to jack it up,

Speaker A

whack an axle stand underneath it, and remove the only wheel that we were able to loosen. [music] And you can see here the center lock conversion, which I'm already thinking about getting rid of.

Speaker A

Underneath the car, we can see the drive shaft boot covered in CV grease. And luckily, it's not actually split. It looks like it's just popped out of the wheel hub. So, I could clean it up, regrease the CV boot, and then pop it

Speaker A

back in and bolt it to the wheel hub. A nice, easy [music] fix. After that, it's the brake cooling tube. Again, this just looks like it's popped off the wheel hub. So, instead of using a zip tie, which was on it, I've clamped it on with

Speaker A

a jubilee clip. And whilst I was doing that, the lads are heading to the machine [music] shop. So, we are at the shop of machining and we are ready to see if we get this tool fixed.

Speaker A

We are going to get this tool fixed. I'm going to see if we can. We are going to get this tool fixed.

Speaker A

Confidence. Confidence. Do you know what? I might ask Bob if I could do a bit of welding.

Speaker A

[music] No. Oh, okay. Maybe not. So, this is the tool that Bob needs to fix. And instead of making that hole square again for a ratchet, we've decided that it's going to be better to weld it a huge bar to

Speaker A

that tool so we've got as much leverage as possible to loosen them wheels. Whilst they are at Bob's, luckily, my new ignition switch has arrived. This is off a Volkswagen T5. It is exactly the same. So hopefully this eliminates the problem. It's worth

Speaker A

changing anyway cuz apparently they do go bad. They do look exactly the same. Let's put it in.

Speaker A

So in goes the new ignition switch into the back of the key barrel. Then I can tighten it down. Test it.

Speaker A

Now let's make sure that the key turns the barrel with the ignition switch. And it does. [music] Great. Are you happy?

Speaker A

Seems good. [laughter] Let's put it in. Meanwhile, at the machine shop, Bob was welding the tool to a massive steel bar.

Speaker A

And then he had another idea. But as well as having the lever bar, we're going to weld a socket onto the back of it. So then he can put the big ugly ugers with levers.

Speaker A

Science. [laughter] That's mental. Let's do it. So, whilst they were doing that, I were putting back in the ignition switch with the barrel into the back of the dashboard, hoping that this time it'll all work, whilst Bob was welding a

Speaker A

socket to the rear of the tool. What a contraption that is. Before I put the rest of the interior together, my dad started repairing the broken wires, which will go to the button which starts the car. cutting off the terminal,

Speaker A

putting two new wires to it, which also had a new plug. And when he finished the loom that was on the car, he also did the same to the button which was in [music] the trim. New plugs on

Speaker A

both sides. See if it works. Yeah, let's go and see if it works. [music] The tool to remove the wheels is done, but I've still got the interior to put back together before we start removing the wheels again. And I've just about

Speaker A

finished up there. The interior is in enough now to start the car. We don't have the seats in, but with the ignition switch and some of the wiring, which didn't look too great, has all been fixed. So, now we're going to see if we can get

Speaker A

three in a row to be a pro. So, we got to start the car three times in a row to know we repaired it. Here we go.

Speaker A

Ignition on. Good sign. We did something right. Oh. First time out two times in a row.

Speaker A

How did the barrel feel? The barrel feels fine, but this button Yeah, it's not going.

Speaker A

Okay. So, what else could it be? This was so weird. We was running out of ideas. Now, we got the auto out to scan it again and got the same fault.

Speaker A

Key switch. Is that that or is that what we've already changed? The auto was telling us that it had a mechanical [music] malfunction in the key switch. I wondered at first, was it the steering lock pin that wasn't popping out or

Speaker A

going back in when I turn the key? Yeah. Down. But when I turn the key in and out, you can see the steering lock pin popping in and out.

Speaker A

So the steering lock pin is coming in and out. That is working. So the ignition is coming [music] on. The steering lock's coming up. It's got to be this button. Right. Where's that wire?

Speaker A

Let's get to the plug. So here's the plug for this switch. Right. I'm wondering whether there's a break in the wire [music] somewhere. So, first off, I'm going to test that the button actually works by putting a multimeter

Speaker A

to the two pins on the button and then pressing it. There we go. And it was making a connection. So, the buttons working.

Speaker A

What you say you just terminal there. Next thing, I'm going to connect up the button to the wiring loom on the car and then connect the multimeter to the wires on the car to make sure the signal is

Speaker A

traveling through the new connector that we put on there. Continuity there. And it was okay. Let's give it a [music] go again.

Speaker A

So nice time. Get out. Do my shopping. Come back in. Start the car. Starting the car.

Speaker A

Oh, you forgot something. Yeah. Left my pound in the trolley. Go back to the trolley. [laughter] Get my trolley out. Got my pound back out the trolley. Three times in a row to be a pro.

Speaker A

What is it with this close? Never do it three times in a row. I've never seen anything like this before.

Speaker A

Out we go. That's number two. But then all of a sudden we got two times in a row.

Speaker A

Yeah. Okay. Three in a row to be a pro and then three. No, I don't get it. It's not fixed. It's fixed. It's not.

Speaker A

It is fixed. There's no way I'm driving to the shops in this and then it'll look like a knobhead when I'm outside going.

Speaker A

What about four times in a row? I fixed. Oh, she's a great car. This Yeah, but we haven't fixed anything.

Speaker A

Does it start off every time? Oh, this is like a golf fixed. [music] Let's leave it a longer time. Don't know whether that was It is successful, I guess. But what the fix was, I don't know. I don't

Speaker A

know. Perhaps there weren't a fix. Before [music] we moved on to the next fault, we went round and checked every ground, fuse, and relay on the car just to make sure that this ignition issue had nothing [music] to do with that. And

Speaker A

everything was all good. So, that still remains a mystery today. But now, we can get these wheels off. Well, at least try.

Speaker A

[music] Yeah. [music] These wheels were so tight. It is definitely making me rethink this center lock conversion. Imagine doing this on the side of the road. They were tight.

Speaker A

I was thinking about refurbing these alloys and changing the tires, but after seeing that, I think I've got a better idea of what to do with these alloys.

Speaker A

Right, we got one more light on the dash, which is that airbag fault, and that is the next thing we need to fix.

Speaker A

For some reason, the auto wouldn't read the airbag ECU. So, I've jumped on to Vagcom to read the airbag control unit, and the fault it was giving me was the igniter for the battery, the resistance too high, which essentially means it's

Speaker A

disconnected. Igniter for battery disconnect resistance too high, which is the exact same fault code we had on Alex's Brian. This is essentially like a pyro fuse on the battery, which cuts power going to the car after an accident. So, the first place to look is

Speaker A

on the battery. Could be that. And immediately we found two what look like repaired wires. But to investigate further, I've got to remove some stuff so I could see the battery. Is that the thing there? The yellow thing.

Speaker A

Yeah. Wait, so why is the yellow thing unplugged? Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker A

What the? Here's the pyro. Well, it's not a pyro fuse. It's the battery disconnect fuse thingyamajiggy, which cuts power going to the battery after an accident. Um, but look, it's unplugged. So, no wonder we've got high resistance.

Speaker A

So, where that is supposed to go onto something. And the only two wires we've got spare are these two, which look like they should go onto that. Why have they been bridged like that? The only thing I can think of is

Speaker A

that do you know because this isn't an aftermarket battery that they've lifted it off and broke it or or pulled it down and left it connected and it's broken it because that that this ain't the original battery that's labeled up bas.

Speaker A

Now we thought the most logical thing to do here is just to reconnect the wires that they repaired back up to the connector. Then see what happens.

Speaker A

[music] But the airbag fault still come back on the dash. And when we read the fault codes, we still got the exact same fault. Really, what we could do with having a look at is my one. The more

Speaker A

Bugattis we get, the easier it's going to be to keep rebuilding them because now we can use a reference Bugattis.

Speaker A

So, let's have a look inside here. if this has a connector going to that pyrofuse. And if it does, let's take note of where the wires go. So, we can copy them on the little lemon basp.

Speaker A

There it is. Basp is going in to that pyro fuse. So, it is going to that white one goes to the left hand side and the black one goes to the right.

Speaker A

Okay, we just need to go back and copy that. Maybe when we put it on last time, it was the wrong way round and that might affect it. So, good news. Good news. Let's go see if we can uh fix it. Why they didn't do that,

Speaker A

I don't know, but I'm sure we're about to find out. We're going to attempt to put the wires the right way. But in the meantime, because we're using a block of wood to hold uh these struts up because

Speaker A

they're a bit perished, we bought some new ones. And it turns out they're just off of Volkswagen Tigwan. Volkswagen TG.

Speaker A

26 quid. These were one, two, off with the old one. On with a new one.

Speaker A

I feel like even I could do this. Boom. The white wire went to the left hand side. But we are assuming here that there's no brakes down here. So, let's try this first and see if it works. But

Speaker A

I think this connector's got something special [music] about it. So, we might need to get a proper connector. So, now we're pinning the wires to the plug in the correct position.

Speaker A

See whether that works, but I can't see why would they not have [music] done that. I think we're going to need the the proper connector cuz it might make some kind of resistance or something.

Speaker A

That's the actual [music] connector we need, which is 10 10 quid. I think we will need that because there must be some kind of some sort of connection it makes. But even still with the wires the right way round, we still

Speaker A

had that airbag fault. It's saying resistance too high. And the resistance the wire is looking for is 2.2 ohm. To explain resistance in an easy way, it's essentially like squeezing a hose pipe when the water's run through it. You're

Speaker A

creating a resistance. So, when these two wires [music] are connected to the pyrofuse, the circuit should create a 2.2 ohm resistance. But at the minute, the diagnostic [music] tool is telling me that the resistance is too high. So,

Speaker A

I'm going to check the repaired wire to see if there's any resistance in that that could be causing an issue.

Speaker A

and it had 2 ohms. That's got resistance on it. It said this one got the same.

Speaker A

And on the other wire, it also had 2 ohm. 2 ohm of resistance. So if these two wires were connected together like they are when they create a full circuit, that would be at least 4 ohm of resistance, which is way too much

Speaker A

for the airbag system. Hence why it's showing high resistance. So, now we're cutting out the wires, and we found that there [music] were 2 ohm resistance in each of the wires. So, somebody who's made this repair before has done a

Speaker A

mistake. And now that we've got those two wires off the car, I'm now going to bridge in a 2.2 ohm resistance between the two original wires and see what happens.

Speaker A

So, now there's [music] 2.2 resistance, 2.2 2 ohm resistance going between those two wires [music] trying to replicate what that pyro fuse is doing. So let's see whether that change anything [music] inside the car. Let's see what happens.

Speaker A

Clear codes. Yes. Fault codes have been erased. No fault codes found. Okay. Off. Airbag light's gone off.

Speaker A

Gone off. The airbag light has gone off. Oh my god, we could have hacked [music] the system.

Speaker A

Key out. Let's see if it comes on. Here we go. Fasten seat belt. Yeah, boy. Gone. No faults. 2.2 ohm resistance. [music and singing] Airbag light fix. No faults on the dash.

Speaker A

Just sometimes it takes a while to stop. I don't know why that is. And we still don't know why that is. Doesn't matter.

Speaker A

We got a faultless car which can pass anote. Right. Let's do a permanent fix on that [music] resistance wire. Look at that.

Speaker A

No faults on the dash anymore. Nothing. Let's [music] fix that wire up. Put the car back together. And then hopefully we'll get the wheels back and actually take this for a proper drive.

Speaker A

Yeah. So, the resistor worked. It tricked the system into thinking there's a pyro fuse in it. But to do a permanent repair, I'm going to need the connector which goes to that pyrofuse. So, I've ordered that. But in the meantime, to

Speaker A

get the car running faultlessly, [music] we're putting some heat shrink over the 2.2 ohm connector between those two wires. Then, we can start putting back the rest of the [music] car. Let's whack this back together. Build the car back

Speaker A

up. We should have a faultless car, but we haven't drove [music] it yet. So far, I think we've got a really good deal on this car, providing it is fixed after I put it all back together. That's the

Speaker A

front end in. Now, we can go underneath and connect back up all of the under trays. I do plan on giving this car a full service, which will probably be coming up on the second channel. So, be sure to subscribe

Speaker A

to not only this channel, also the MK2 one. Another thing I've decided to do is get [music] rid of these center locks.

Speaker A

They may look cool, but for function, they are really annoying. And on top of that, I have an idea what we're going to do for the wheels. But whilst we wait for them, I can slide back in some of

Speaker A

the interior trims, which just click back into place. And then finally, the wheels have arrived.

Speaker A

Yeah, I don't even remember them looking like that. These are the wheels that originally come on my Veyron where they got it and then we swapped them out for the Vosins and we thought well this just makes sense because we're going back to

Speaker A

five stud and then they really look pretty close to the previous design on that apart from we're getting the practicality of it. Also Wheel Mania have hooked us up with some Michelin PS4s as well. Thank you so much Wheel

Speaker A

Mania. They've cleaned these up lovely, painted them, refurbed them, and sorted us out with lug nooks as well. So, if you want to go get your wheels refurbished, painted or get new ones, head to Wheel Mania to go do that. I'll

Speaker A

put a link in the description for it. But they are looking clean as anything. And the final bit, the center cap. The logo has been painted yellow to match the rest of the car. Whoever thought I would ever be

Speaker A

using [music] these alloys again, but it just shows that things can come in full circles. So again, a huge thanks to Wheel Mania for sorting these wheels [music] out and what a difference it's made.

Speaker A

Time to get it off the ramp. [music] Oh, it looks so much better with silver wheels. So much better. like 10 out of 10 better with silver wheels.

Speaker A

Look at the fitment difference. Look at that. That does look amazing. The last thing we need to do before we take it on its first drive is put back in the seats. And that is the interior back in and the car complete. And

Speaker A

although this car is a really brave spec, those silver wheels have really transformed it [music] for me. And who would have thought it? I now have my second Bugatti Veyron. And it's definitely one to stand out. But now

Speaker A

we're about to find out how good of a deal this actually was after we take it on this first drive. Let's get the new HWBT rrook sack. Look at that. in the front compartment is probably the only thing that will actually fit in there.

Speaker A

They're available on the website. There's very, very small amount left though. Along with that, the new HWBT Monaco drop is also on the website for you to grab as well. For now, let's get in the car and let's head to our good friends.

Speaker A

Off we go in the lemon. Do you think we're a bit inconspicuous? Well, she's on the road and everything seems to be going well. Our first stop is got to be the fuel station.

Speaker A

Off we go. She's driving. Sold as a non-driving car and she's driving. And if you think about it, to repair it is not cost [music] much. a rubber hose, which we already had, £26 for bonnet struts, an 11B ignition switch, and a3B

Speaker A

2.2 ohm resistor. We already [music] had the wheels, and Wheel Mania hooked us up with the brand new tires. So, surely this is going [music] to be a win. Draw smooth. Jos's really smooth. It the throttle feels way more responsive than

Speaker A

mine. Like, it's like you only have to touch it and it's like woo like wants to go. So far so good. This will be the test now where this just starts back up afterwards. And this is the part where

Speaker A

it gets expensive. Well, that's definitely the most expensive part of this build. 10064 to fill up, which makes it more expensive than the price to repair it.

Speaker A

See if she goes. Come on. And now she seems to be starting up every time.

Speaker A

But who knows whether that fault is actually [music] fixed. Now the price we got this Veyron at is an amazing price.

Speaker A

Bearing in mind as well when you check the car out on car vertical it has a completely clean report. The only thing that really flags up is that the car has been exported. Th this car was made in

Speaker A

Dubai. It got sent to the UK and then it somehow ended up back in Dubai. On top of that, I can see a full mileage report of the car. You can see the last recorded mileage is around 10,600, which

Speaker A

makes it around about right because we're at about 18,000 km. Now, what is your initial thoughts on the vewell now? You seeing it on the road?

Speaker A

Looks sick. Sick. It's way better than his other one. You think it looks better than the other one?

Speaker A

So much better than the other one. And the good news, I can see on the report there's no records of it ever being damaged. I can see every time this car has had a number plate changed, the personal registration plates put on it

Speaker A

as well, which has made it really easy for me to identify it on the internet just by searching the old registration plates. And I can find all old videos of the car. Not that I couldn't find old videos anyway, just by searching Oakley

Speaker A

Design Bugatti. Bumps up, thumbs up, thumbs up. If the car wasn't an accident, you probably would have seen photos of the car when it was auctioned off at the car crash auction site. So, I'll be able to see where the damage was

Speaker A

or probably just not even by the car afterwards. And also to be able to see the category of the car and when it was actually in that accident when the insurance categorized it. So, it's a really handy tool to have. So, if you do

Speaker A

want to check your car out on car vertical, best thing to do, click the link in the description box below. Use the code which is on the screen now for discount on that check and thank me later if you find any hidden history

Speaker A

about your car. Now the car's repaired and back on the road. I took a journey to Tom Hartley's [music] one of the most prestigious supercar dealers to see exactly what they think of the Veyron and [music] how much they

Speaker A

think it was worth. What is this? Bought you a present. Hello, mate. Hello, mate. How are you?

Speaker A

I know that car really well. Do you? I do. I know it very well.

Speaker A

Now, for Cole to take a better look at the car, I started reversing [music] it into the showroom where we're about to get our true valuation.

Speaker A

What do you think? How are you? I'm good. Are you good? I bought another one.

Speaker A

Well, I don't blame you. Yeah. All the success you had with the with the last one. I I've come to see what Whoa. Well, one what you think because it is a bit Well, I've known this car.

Speaker A

I thought you would know. I thought you So, the guy who commissioned this to be done was a guy called Wedge.

Speaker A

Yes. Um I used to do loads of business with WG. I still do a bit with him now and again.

Speaker A

John Oakley. He introduced me to John Oakley. This is Oakley Design. Yeah. The car is actually in pretty good condition. We've got all the keys. We got a service history with it. Um there's never a story with this car.

Speaker A

I've known this car from when before it was the Oakley design car. Yeah. As it is, it's got around 10,000 miles on the car. It's 80,000 km. So, yeah. 10 or 11,000 miles and that it's a brave spec. I know it.

Speaker A

Yeah. Like interior is amazing though. Yeah. It is very bright. I mean, what do you think for this car, if you were selling it, what do you think this car would fetch?

Speaker A

Like I say, this is a car that's it's got no stories. It's never been sustained in any kind of accident that I know of, and I've known it for, you know, when I say I've known this car, at the time in 2006,

Speaker A

every Veyron that come into the UK either came through me or nearly came through me.

Speaker A

Yeah. So, so I I know the car like I knew Mark's car, you know, I know the cars.

Speaker A

So, as far as I'm aware, I' never had no backstory. I mean, it's a very Bugatti wouldn't touch this with a barge pole because of what's happened on it. So, that's got to come [music] into into the price. But then, you know, you could get

Speaker A

someone who's just like you mad [music] and wants just a a oneoff a one-off piece.

Speaker A

Yeah. What you doing with it? You keeping it or you selling it? I think I'm going to be keeping it.

Speaker A

Okay. To sit on it. Um, same with the other Veyron's good to sit on at the minute.

Speaker A

Yeah. And until they get to silly price and I can afford a Pagani, then that's that's the only time I will probably get out of it unless something else come up.

Speaker A

It's a bit of a guesstimate if I'm being [music] honest because it's a specialist. I mean, any Veyron, [music] any Veyron is worth a tad under two million quid today.

Speaker A

Yeah. So, should we just Should we stick a price of one and a half on this?

Speaker A

1.5. What? 1.5 seems pretty good. And now I'll tell you what I paid for it.

Speaker A

Go on. [laughter] 890 pounds. Pounds. So, what do you have to pay to get it registered in [music] the UK?

Speaker A

Um, it was already a UK car with a UK registration plate. I just had to pay [music] the shipping to get over, but I did have to pay 10% 89 grand to get it into [music] the UK.

Speaker A

So, it's going to owe you just shy of a million quid. Just shy. Yeah.

Speaker A

What a win. With [music] import duty and the repair costs, the Bugatti owes me £1,19.

Speaker A

And Carl's just valued this at 1.5. What I'm going to do with the car, I'm of course going to keep it. I think we got it such a good price. Vayons are only on the way up. I think it would be

Speaker A

a criminal for me to get rid of it. And who knows, in the future, maybe it will go over a 2 million. Maybe it will go over three. Thank you, Cole, for doing that.

Speaker A

Pleasure, man. Pleasure as always. See you back soon. Thanks so much for watching this video.
