In their latest adventure, the lads from Car Throttle embark on a quest to rescue a forgotten gem from the clutches of Silver Lake Auto Recycling. With classic cars being discarded left and right, they're determined to find a neglected beauty that deserves a second chance on the open road. And let me tell you, they're like kids in a candy store as they explore the vast expanse of this automotive graveyard.
Among the treasures they stumble upon is a rare Mark 1 Polo sedan in a striking green hue. This little saloon is a true rarity, and the team is immediately smitten. They can't resist adding it to their shortlist, despite not being able to get a full view of its condition. But who cares about the details when you've got a Polo Saloon in such a unique color?
But the distractions don't end there. They catch sight of an E39 and a Morris Miner, both begging for attention. And let's not forget the cult classic, the Mitsubishi 3000GT, with its Evo wheels and undeniable cool factor. These guys have an eye for the extraordinary, and they're not afraid to take risks.
Amidst all the excitement, they also stumble upon a Key West Edition Cleo and a pristine Fiat 500. These cars may not be the most powerful or luxurious, but they possess a certain charm that speaks to the heart of any true car enthusiast. And that's exactly what Car Throttle is all about - finding the beauty and potential in every car, no matter its age or condition.
In the end, they settle on a mint condition 106, a car that was destined for the scrap heap. But with their passion and expertise, they manage to bring it back to life. From the spin bay to the MOT test, this little French hatchback proves its worth and passes with flying colors. It's a triumph against all odds, and the lads couldn't be happier with their new addition to the fleet.
Car Throttle once again proves that there's more to car culture than just the latest and greatest. It's about the thrill of the hunt, the joy of discovery, and the satisfaction of breathing new life into forgotten classics. And with their infectious enthusiasm, they inspire us all to see the potential in every neglected car that crosses our path.
