I always enjoyed Quentin’s spot on Top/ Fifth Gear.
All scrapped now .....
2003 was not really "before the internet"... it was a bit less dominant than now, but most of the good car trade platforms were there already.
Shame that turbocharged 'minter' lasted only a few more years until 2006.
Volvo's seem to last forever, it's one of the only cars from the early 90s I still see occasionally in 2023
The saddest thing about this video was seeing all the Rover’s knowing now they’re becoming a rarer sight aside from 75’s!
What are the chances? I have owned in the past, a 1999 Mercedes Benz A160, like the one featured, which were a great drive, but had problems with the Auto G/Box, a 1992 Mazda MX-5, which was a great fun car to drive, and I would buy another tomorrow IF I could find one with low ownership and miles, with a service history, and I currently own a 2004 Volvo V50 T5, which has the same 2.5 liter turbocharged motor as the 850 T5 featured in this video. It also is black with Black Leather, and is a great car.
Driving to car viewings is a pain... and the cars are often misdescribed 😔
That T5 is built like a tank! Near unbreakable! Really good deal.. Good luck finding one like this today, when everybody just wants to rip you off! Great clip!
Love that the Mx5 is still on the road, MOT til October 22 and a very clean one at that!
"There are cheap cars everywhere"
Man, watching this whole thing was a pretty calming experience!
That Volvo is gorgeous.
Back in the day when mobile phones were for making phone calls. Nothing else.Loved Quentin.
An Ericsson T39 and a Volvo 850. Swedish all the way...
At the end he drives away from the camera and the old Volvo explodes!🤣
Quintin Wilson - he the man!
2003, when most British lease cars were sent to Ireland and clocked to death, no history checks online in Ireland back then
bought a 2007 accord, i cdti sport ,4 months ago dealer would not budge on the price not even £50 off, he and myself knew it would sell within the week, i bought it the day it was advertised
I loved buying auto trader and going straight to the back to find cars under 1000
