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!
keep dreaming
what? 🤦🤦🤦 if you change this culture for this many car companies are dead. They profits comes from changing old car to new. and it must live shortly and parts must cost high prices.
@@StopTeoriomSpiskowymyou don't study economics do you?
@@samuelgarrod8327 you do not understand how exist stelantis / vag or nissan renault / PSA do you? Japan companies made like this from 60s good engine bad bodies and america buying new model. Why volvo made ford car with difrend body? economy of car industries.
Absolutely!
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!
Great to see the recycling center but amazed the incorrectly spaced number plated passed and mot!!
@@HitchcockMedia84Yeh, whoever made that plate had a few pints at lunch! 😂
Jake 🤣 Jack* But ye I didn't know this place existed, what a treasure trove!
Please do keep doing collabs, there's something just incredibly endearing about seeing little nuggs getting a new adventure after people have given up on them
Nice one Jake
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.
Came back here to see this as well - absolutely love that they’ve broken away. I wonder if the new series will just be saving scrapped cars? I wouldn’t complain about that at all!
@@damonlangley6615 it's a shame that CarThrottle landed in the wrong hands and is now dead because of total morons in management. This channel became good because Adnan gave Alex the freedom to do whatever he wanted as long as it put money in the bank. Current owners should've given their video crew the same trust and budget. But no...
£300 is an absolute bargain for that 106. What a joyous little car!
imma touch you lock ur doors
@@skfrmda5 You need help 🤨😂
funny looking little shit
@@skfrmda5*AMBER ALERT! AMBER ALERT!*
I wonder if that includes all the fees. Found a really nice Alfa that nobody seems to want, but after signing up and checking the fees I'm not sure it's worth it.
There is something about saving little nugget hatchbacks from the scrappers that really warms my heart..
I love it. Saving little nuggets and it's like animals going extinct. We need to protect them
Seeing the 106 'Nana Diesel' back on the road just warms my heart up. It's as if she's happily skipping along on the countryside road after being on the chopping block. I love the early 106's.
may i suggest the channel Garbage Time on here
@@ganjagremlin Considering they’re calling it a nugget they probably already watch it.
@bluerazor7049 is it the 1.4 or 1.5 version ?
this could be a series, saving cars one by one...
I hope they could save mine. I've spent a lot of money on my car and it's still not fixed. It's been off road for two years and I've just had nothing but trouble and being messed about by multiple garages, the last one caused my car to have a no fuel fault and wont accept any responsibility and had my car for months saying they will get to the bottom of the fault but never did and still charged me for their time so hoping car throttle will see this message and hope they can save my car from going to the scrapyard. I feel they are my last hope.
Yes yes yes!
Save ALL THE CARS!! 😃
Please make this a series. This one was a bit to easy
That's an awesome ideal! Come on car throttle this is right up your street
Cannot describe how happy this video made me. Please make this a series.
it'll be sick if they made a series out of this!
They need to make a series out of this!
Same!! At some point I realized I had a huge smile on my face watching the boys leave with that little car and I thought "damn I really love cars, mate"
Edwin is like a car wizard historian. I learn so much from him. Always pointing out interesting shit about cars.
Is anyone else shocked about how many newer cars are in the scrappy?
Corrosion in UK exampl Hondas Jazz good looking outside but engine diesel is crap or petrol can be sized
I'm guessing cat S
That 2018 Jeep...
I was stunned seeing that brand new Q7 over there, like how do they even get there?
We receive a vast array of vehicles in our yard from insurance companys/police/council and alike
I can't get over how clean that car is, amazing find!
Its fucking lush, would be an absolute crime to scap it
that interior and even exterior is too mint to be scrapped@@Yom_Bristol
True, I imagine this car is soon going to be worth a lot more than what they paid for it if there is only 7 left of them now!
if you treat it right, it will treat you right, keep it clean
Please make this a regular series with that place! Absolute goldmine of content there
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!
This the Saxo and the Clio on a NC 500 road trip? That would be one hell of a series
Yes, it would be absolutely fantastic
Given the performance, it’s a 3 week trip up there 😂
@@adammcallister2260 part of the character
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.
Based on the viewership, it don't seem to be the case.
Idkn really, I feel like quality here dropped
@@Orcawhale1 Has the viewership dropped?
Despite loving Alex on CT i've never got into his new channel and unsubbed after a few months. I feel like these three were just like the old top gear trio and did best when they were bouncing off each other.
@@Matt_Alaric Yep.
2:41 Top Dead Center porsche! Maybe this was truly fate after all!
How such a clean car ended up at the scrap yard is insane !!!
It breaks my heart to see so many cool and interesting cars destined for the scrap yard
I used to have one like this. The power is enough because there's little weight, pretty much bulletproof engine, I'd have one again if I thought I could fit!
Im surprised the minor is there, its an actual classic, in its current condition its at least worth 2k and done up probably 5k. Who decided to scrap that, they must have been mad.
@@jh565bb It might have been abandoned, pretty sure it'll sell at auction.
It's like seeing stacks on stacks of corpses. It just isn't right. So many of them can be saved!
Did you watch the video?
Used car prices in the UK are fairly cheap, but if anything goes wrong the fixing costs are ridiculous on top of yearly MOT fixes. That's why so many used cars that could still be on the road, just end up in the scrap yard.
some look like they're not even 5 years old lol
How can you have an old or rare car and take the scrap money then sell it to someone who wants it and will give more money I'm looking for a 106 at the moment can't find a good one and that was going to get broken up
@@user-ou2kv4pf8bkinda hard to do without the owner. I bet most of those got there because of insurance, police or repo
What an incredible car!! Its in beautiful condition as well! Love the seats, carpet, paint, everything about it is so perfect!
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!
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 !
They never made a 1.3 diesel, it was either 1.4, like this one or a 1.5D which came out around 1995/96 time.
@@trigsretromotors theyre 1360cc. Sometimes people say 1.3 sometimes people sat 1.4. Either way my point was the smaller of the two diesel engines liked to blow head gaskets more often than you'd like. I think i might call the TUD3 a 1.36 litre engine from now on
@@SunnyD1865the later 1.5d improved on that issue massively
These kind of cars really are the perfect first cars for new drivers. It teaches you how to drive, how to anticipate (not much power and the brakes are less responsive but also less weight so it is a lot more manageable) and you can really feel the road while driving one. Also most rich dudes in fancy cars actually give you a wide birth because A. they think you have no money so they are deadly afraid of you or B. used to own one and feel nostalgic about it. 10/10 would recommend and make mandatory for new drivers.
I have a feeling the insurance on that for a 17 year old will be dearer than a newer more safer car.
@@welephant2013 I pay around 45 euro's a month for the insurance for my 25 year old Clio (Mandatory Third Party liability insurance and optional passenger insurance). Your mileage may very depending on country, local laws, your age and driving history etc.
this needs to be a series!! some of the cars even from a quick glance deserve a revamp or a new story, the old porsches the rare japanese cars and the old boats were mint to see 😮💨
This was such a wholesome video to watch. Definitely want to see a road trip with the the three of you, the 106, Saxo and Clio. South of France maybe?
Loved meeting Edwin, Ethan and Jack on behalf of Silverlake 😊😊😊😊
Would pay 300 just for the green seat belts
If this was a Porsche you'd be paying 3'000 for those belts!
2:34 the best foreshadowing in KZhead history
Seriously do more of these! I find that yard so freaking cool. Last pick and pull? They are everywhere in the USA! I'd love to be able to pick up cheap older cars but insurance in Florida is now the highest in the nation. I have a 91 Prelude and they want almost 1800 a year now for full coverage. It's insanity. Keep up these types of videos. Become partners with this company please!
Love the Peugeot but man that Morris on a miata chassis would be absolutely bonkers!
the morris would have probably came with a lot of problems
@@superdylan803doesn’t really matter if you’re just gonna keep the body does it?
@@rudyjilisen ah well less work to do :)
if it´s a straight bodyswap, it´s a nobrainer for the ultimate toy.
@@AlfaGiuliaQV it's not quite a straight body swap but I've seen a Morris Minor body on a Subaru Impreza chassis so anything is possible
That’s a 1.4Diesel not a 1.1. I have a similar age and mileage 106, that visits shows in the South West. You would be amazed the attention it receives. Good job! 😀
1.4 and actually not the same as the Saxo, but as the Citroën AX, the later S2 was the same as the Saxo.
Init it bothered me slightly everytime they said it 😂
The later had a 1.5td and early had the 1.4. Bothered me that they said 1.1 as I’ve had every iteration of the 106 and a saxo vtr also, and would have loved to have the diesel version because it pulled like a train, though it couldn’t get to a ton. And would happily run veg oil all day long. My saxo was the most fun but I miss each and every one of them equally. Good little cars, but absolutely useless on electrics lol
Thank you I'm not the only one that was irritated they said 1.1 😅
@@samstevenson2520 yes they later changed to a 1527cc, although it was never turbo charged, certainly from factory. It was however a much more responsive unit. 😀
What an epic find! Seeing you all in mint seat belts was hilarious. Great premise for an episode 👏
I have such a passion for survivor cars like this. ‘Uninteresting’ throwaway cars that have somehow survived like a time capsule. Bonus points because this one is green, and a special edition - two of my favorite things. What a bargain lads, please make sure this gets cherished and cared for.
im really liking the direction the channels been going with the past few videos, taking old cars that didnt have a chance at life, and renewing it! very entertaining to watch!
That car will live on for a while longer I'm sure, it looks mint.
If they keep it alive for another 10 years it'll probably be very desirable. It's from 1993 and any diesel car that's over 40 years old is exempt from London's ULEZ rules. Considering the condition we've seen so far, it's probably not that unlikely that this car will see this happening.
This had me smiling wider than I have in a long while. Well done, guys.
This trio would be the only trio that could present top gear and come close to the Clarkson, Hammond and May magic.
I honestly feel like after Alex left the channel struggled a little bit but the content over the last few months had been bang on! Love seeing not only buying the cars but making the progress with them. Keep it up! 👌
nah only one of them is decent, other 2 are toff uni media kids.
@breathoffreshair7314 Got to be honest the educational background of the channel hadn't come into my thinking. They and their content seems genuine and I think it shows. Everyone is entitled to an opinion though 👍
@@superflyfarmboy The reason i mention it is because 2 of them dont really have a clue about cars, yet are involved with a car youtube channel . Hence why they struggled after alex left as he was the only one of them with any know how about cars. And as someone who has fluttered btween working class and middle class worlds, the middle class uni kids generaly are clueless when it comes to cars. So thats why they struggled. Basically theyre not real car guys . Take away the channel and they arent going to be involved with modifying cars again in their lives, i bet money on it.
As a fellow owner of a diesel 106 this is the happiest ive ever been watching a CT video. Mines a version 2 106 but the 1.5 diesel engines are mega reliable, economical and has taken me hundreds of miles in day on motorways with no sweat on many road trips while also being good fun on smaller roads, please give this car everything it deserves
I love this trio. We need more regularly videos with a of them, the chemistry between them is nice
It's absolutely mad how those structures can hold those cars like a shelf built for model cars. It's great how the Polo saloon, LS400 and Colt were saved. Just shows that there are people who want them on the road still. The 106 is a gem, give it a full detailing and it'll be a proper survivor. I also noticed a 4-door Mk2 Golf that looked to be in great condition. There are a lot of Mk2 Golfs puttering around in my area. Keep it stock, don't change anything on it!
My 1994 205 was nearly scrapped in 2005 saved by previous owner then saved by me in 2017 and still my daily. Simple cars last a long time with a bit of tlc.
I love this. I’ve thought for a while that the days of picking up a usable car for less than £500 were a thing of the past but you just proved that if you think outside the box it’s still possible. Nice find by the way. I love these little old 106’s
I like how you’re keeping it stock (except for when you need replacement parts of course). It’s really true to its heritage.
One of my favourite Car Throttle 2.0 videos! Well done guys :) The three of you really go well together and it's great fun to watch you having fun!
That little 106 is lovely. With such low miles, and what looks like good overall condition, with the year’s MOT there absolutely must be a profit of at least £500 profit in it. How about a trading up series?
Love recycling like this!❤️❤️
not love a car companies? because they are dead with reliable cars
Great video lads. Great exposure to a good company helping give old cars a 2nd chance 👍
Great episode! I want to see more of this car. I love when you guys get cheap nuggets and this one feels like a little gem. Good work saving it from the wrecker!
Cracking purchase They were great little cars Glad it's another one saved instead of these little gems being crushed
I;d love to see them go back and save that Morris Minor too since this was such an easy win.
Parts for Moggies are readily available. The MX5 mod sounds intriguing!
Great episode, we need more of this! It's unbelievable how many good cars are scrapped for no reason! Now you have to go back and save that Merc W124 and the Rolls!
This absolutely warms my heart ❤ Keep it up guys!! Would love to see more of this.
Some gems can be found here fr.
This looks like a really cool car, I'd love a sequel
Please do this more. I always wanted to safe a car at a scrap Yard. Never came to it sadly. But this Video make me so happy! Such a nice little car who deserves to life!
That jazzy mint green interior is the most early 90s thing ever. I remember the radio adverts for all these Pug factory special editions, there was the Mardi Gras and Graduate around that time too, as well as the Key Largo which i guess was similarly specced to this Key West edition. Only 6 left, but then it's very easy to forget that 1993 was 30 years ago and there wasn't much early 60s stuff still in daily use by that point either.
Every video you three post has been brilliant, I smile the whole time and love how different each one is, keep it up boys!
Love it. My first car was an L reg 106 XND Graduate which I wrote off when I was 18. That was a mighty 1.4 non-turbo diesel. This video brings back a lot of memories. Replaced the 106 with a mk1 clio 1.2. That felt like a rocket in comparison to the non-turbo diesel!
Absolutely love it. I used to go to silverlakes loads in the early 2000's. I remember me and my friend trying to buy a cut off rear end of a Ferrari 355 so we could make an elaborate BBQ but it was too expensive for us in our early 20's. I loved the pick and pull area. We would always go down there after heavy rain or frost to see what people had crashed and pick it apart.
What a find!! And that is one heck of scrap yard! The little Pug, just needs some deep cleaning and polishing, and maybe painting the bumpers?
Peugeot 106, 306, and 406 coupe are gems. Like you said insanely roomy inside for cars that take up no room on the road. What a find, can't wait to see more of this!
Had a 406 coupe, 3.0 v6, favourite car I’ve owned. Would have another in a flash if I saw a decent one.
@@Pugjamin Awesome, there's quite a nice clean one on Auto trader atm...
@@SWatchik *heads to autotrader……
I love the little 106 almost as much as Edwin as an addition to the team 😊
Probably my favourite video you gents have released. What a gem of a car, so glad you saved it!
That's such a good find! Those diesels are slow but mint little emgines , so glad you're appreciating the baguettes 👌
That’s bloody brilliant, what a great find, and probably one of the rarest cars on the U.K. roads …..👍👌🇮🇲
This is amazing I love seeing cheap cars get saved. Excellent video!
Love this video! Good Feels, good of you guys for saving it! Should def visit the recycling center more often for content.
I saved a 1996 Volvo 850 TDI Estate from rotting away, its my daily now and boy oh boy i cannot tell you how happy i am to see this video. The one sole thing that kept me from going insane with this volvo was my soul beeing at peace knowing full well its got a loving home :)
Such a cool little find. Well done lads
This video has cheered me up so much. I’m now in love with that little green 106 😂
I’d love to see this get a full detail, but so glad it’s been saved. It’s a little pearler! 😊
Brilliant. This reminds me of my Green 206 Y reg that I just can't get rid of. A shame to see a fully working car with this much charm be scrapped! Great videos lads, great to see Car Throttle thriving with the new trio it works beautifully
It has so much soul, love that it’s been saved!
I love the 1st gen colt! not many around anymore...
I'm such a sucker for quirky old special edition cars, such a cool find and I can't get over how clean it is!
I love these type of videos. Do a full restoration of this car please. This car deserves it🔥🔥🔥
ive only just noticed the 911 that edwin liked is now the one that he is fixing on his own channel lol
2:43 omg that’s the car Top dead center bought, foreshadowing
Repair and reuse is what true environmentally friendliness is
This place is magical. Treasure hunting paradise. With prices going up for everything & especially new vehicles, being able to put back on the roads worthy cars for cheap is going to be a good business for the years to come.
How is that car in for scrap ! It’s mint
With the collection of old rare cars your getting currently you definitely have some great contenders for the Festival Of The Unexceptional.
Quiry info, but... I had an E reg VW Polo 'Classic/Saloon' 1.3 (2 Door model with round head lights) in white with black bumpers/trim and rubber spoiler on the boot. I got it second hand, and, my previous cars was a Mk4 Escort 1.3L, and that Polo INSTANTLY felt better built than the Escort! LOVED IT, WISH I STILL HAD IT! 😦 😎🇬🇧
There was a nice looking golf at 2:40 but good choice with the 106!
Awesome little car! Look at those green seat belts👍
This is brilliant content fir the channel, more of sake please great job everyone 👍👍👍
What a happy little tale! More of this kind of thing please!!
Such an exceptionally feel good story, you 3 seemed so happy with it and it was a great idea Don't think there are any places like that near me in Sydney Australia. You need to run a challenge and choose one for the other in the team for a driving adventure
The 911 wouldve been class.
What was that next to the 911 in the aerial view? Looked like a 959!
Just looked again it’s not a 959, it’s a 968. I figured they would t have overlooked a 959 😂
It breaks my heart seeing car's scrapped like that.. No matter what's wrong with a car it can always be rebuilt.
should be illegal if fixable, id be happy people get jail for braking any car what fixable. i know my current car or my next one if i find right one hopefully become a classic, when i make mind up a lot rust fixing and prevention and high maintenance, no reason any car cannot see 30 plus years even much more
The first generation Colt....the Silver Spirit and the poor poor Beetle.... I'd hate to know what will happen to them!!!
I loved this video! Thanks guys, it made me happy. It reminds me of a couple of years ago when I bought an old diesel corsa for £400, gave it a bit of love and it was brilliant
I was "Meh..." when I saw the outside, then I was "Woah..." when I saw the inside. The seats, the door panels, the green seatbelts... Perfect! Great vid!
This channel is really in a new golden age without Alex. Absolutely love the content and the addition of Edwin in front of the camera!
you see a rolls and a porsche and you decide on 106, bruh
There's a good reason why the Porsche and rolls are there
The 106 they brought is the keywest edition, there's only 6 left on the road
That interior and seatbelts is so beautiful, a new car with that configuration would be incredibly expensive. I love it, please do a full detail and paint restoration!
They call it a KZhead channel but secretly, these guys are collectors of cars you haven't seen in a long time. Such a great crew!
Make more of these videos. And if you go back i would love to se the mitsubishi colt back on the road
I saw that exact Mitsubishi Colt on the road last year. Was very surprised to see it in this video 😢
@@thomasmason3483 to bad they arent seen as cool cars to people just a old rustbucket. But i think they are super cool get some nice wheels for it and a frontlip and a okay exhaust and you have a uniqe car
My first car was a 1 litre 106 and seeing this little car being saved makes me smile! Also I now want another 106 😅
same a 1.0 mardi gras in blue 4 gears
@@deanblenkinship2040 nice, mine was like a burgandy purple and 5 speed absolute rocket when you got it up to speed or at least it felt like it
Please please please do more of these videos!!! I really enjoyed how you gave that little car a new lease of life. However I would have enjoyed it more if it was the Polo
I’m in the states and I absolutely love the new ride! That’ll clean up to show room condition with minimal effort. You guys genuinely scored with this one! Can’t wait to see what you all do with it.
They'll install a proot as a new multimedia headunit :P
