This was the episode that showed most people the series was complete bollocks, the production company behind flipping bangers actually did the early series of wheeler dealers with Paul doing most of the work and finding/inspecting the vehicles They knew this car was scrap when they purchased it and then crushing it with a good engine and refurbished wheels was utterly stupid

Ridiculous waste of time- the refurbished wheels were worth between £200-300, the engine/gearbox at least £600-700, the brake valve unit bought online is still worth £100, the excellent interior at least £150-200 and then there are body panels, doors etc. If anyone did actually finish the car and MOT it then the registration is possibly valued at between £250-500.

I've only just come across this video and have to disagree with the comments made about breaking the car for spares. It is not a very common model with most of them succumbing to the dreaded tin worm that most Alfa Romeo's suffered through out then 70's and early80's. Consequently there is little demand for spare parts for this model. Then to break it it needs further time to dismantle when they could be using the time to restore another vehicle. It would probably take months to part the car out and the best place for that is within a dismantlers. The car was a bad buy in the first instant and at times when youneed to make money you have to cut your losses.
