If this is a flood damage car then you’re either extremely lucky or troubles are just around the corner (for the future owner). For me I would’ve stripped the interior to check each and every electrical connection of the car to be absolutely sure that they were all ok. But; absolutely gorgeous car. Absolute stunner.
I would definitely remove the seats and carpets and remove all the modules and spray electrical cleaner in all the pins. Clean up all the earth points under the carpets etc etc..... Another great video chaps....
You took helluva risk starting a flood damaged car like that. Water in the engine plus a cold start - engine destroyed! Even an oil change would have increased your odds - any water in the oil, you’d know not to start it.
Guys. There's lots of modules under the carpet. Get them out and dry them. You'll probably need to recalibrate the roof, windows and seats once you've dried then out. It's same on BMWs
I think you’ve touched lucky with that one. I’ve been selling salvage for over 22 years hundreds & hundreds of cars only ever bought 2 flood damaged both were a nightmare.
Nice car guys. Sometimes flood cars from copart get a full valet before going to auction. Anyway... a broken Aston is better than no Aston😂😂. Top job guys. Happy new year.
Starting a flood car without even checking engine for oil or any water in it. You’ve been very lucky. Car looks too clean. Looks very dodgy. I do however hope you get a good car
Everyone saying give it to your dad he deserves it , just remember they have just taken over a lock up and had to fit it out , this all needs paid for , eventually I’m sure his dad will get a nice car for all the hard work he has put into repairing / fixing the cars, to buy this car even for salvage would still cost a pretty penny and needs to be paid for upfront , I’m sure they would love to keep the car and one day will be able to , but by buying and turning them around to sell quickly will keep cash flow and allow them to move on to bigger and better vehicles for content for us all. One thing I would agree with you have to check and clean all the electrically components as they will come back and bite you in the bum . The buyer of this car is going to want to know the history on this car and want some type of warranty I’m sure. Keep up the great content Gents 😊
AM V12 engines take in water very easily. I know from experience having had to write off aV12 Virage. The replacement of the engine,if available, would have been £35000. A short video from the AM experts McGurk explains why Astons are prone to hydrolock.
Those copart scumbags ripped me off big time, I purchased a 2014 BMW 435D CAT N described as minor cosmetic damage, but after waiting for a while to get the damage repaired we discovered the 6 cylinder was running slightly off. After a bit of investigation I discovered a bent rod. When I went back to copart and complained about undisclosed damage they said it was my tough luck and said I should have checked the car better before bidding (even though we are not allowed to personally inspect
Apparently you have to be careful with trade plate placement, it needs to be on the front of the car, if the insurance wants to be difficult they can say we only insure what is between the plates, don’t take my word for it but check it out..

i dont understand why all youtubers copy each other first Flooded car being Tavarish P1 now Mat Armstrong with the flooded GT3 RS now this idiot... atleast get your own content instead of copying others
If you don’t have anything to hide??? Then Say The Asking Price Like You Do In Every For Sale Car On Your Channel🤷🤷 you must have something to hide otherwise 🙄🙄
Daniel Craig eat your heart out! Love it - serious bit of kit.

You will soon find out the damage when you start taking the relays apart. Copart clean and valet the high value wrecks that's why its dry.

Change oil and filter take out plugs check the starter

Let your dad have the Aston Martin car for working with you he deserves it
He's not Matt Armstrong pal 😂
Yh don't think he could insure a 6.0 v12 Aston martin at his age,maybe 5 years time he could,also they probs only get 18mpg nice car tho
@@CuriousGamer022 Pretty sure Dad is not younger than his son 😉
@@venomBound nah I meant him not his dad haha
Great car Shame it can't go to ur dad
Ed, you gotta give this to your dad for all his hard work! 🥰

@4:17 temprature gauge is already up clearly the car has been started and run.Keep it real nobody likes fake BS videos for the views.
Nobody could ever fool 2pac... Glad you are alive and well brother
BIG engine cars you MUST connect your booster direct to battery. Your dad is correct.
Love your channel mate , all the best from scotland

The look on your face when the roof went down, priceless!!
Love this video! Lovely car and a happy dad!
good video, looked an easy fix :D
Cracking podcast as usual Lads beautiful motor that'll suit the ol'e man well
Cracking video guys I'm on a similar journey can't wait to see what you do next
lovely car. you struck lucky there 👍 just need to get carpets out and dry everything out 😃
Great result lads with that one,👍🏻

"Be able to get to the pub quick in this"
Yours dads brilliant 😂
DB9 such a beautiful car
dont worry about the weather ...its shining on you boys . atb
Wetvac of the carpets will not remove the water below the carpet. You have to remove the carpet and sound deadening then wash and dry it completely.
Will be interesting to see how long it keeps going. Flooded cars are notorious.
Interesting you say that. I have never seen a video of a flooded car 5 years down the line.
Great content am so glad it's not another corsa, good luck with the car
Should watch matt Armstrong videos on the repair of this Astin Martin
Dont tell him that - he needs to create his own identity and not try to appear like Matt 🤭
Seat needs to be fully pushed forward then it’ll go back. I had the same on a 05 DB9

Beautiful car. Great content as usual.
Wouldn’t class a spilt bottle of water on the drivers side flood damaged 😂😂
A great car guys keep the video coming
Lovely car, it’s definitely on my bucket list to own an Aston…. 👍
What’s happening with the McLaren?
Put fully charged battery on it never mess with top of range systems it’s not a Corsa , good luck
What a lovely car and a convertible you should wat for the summer to sell it
Price please if you don’t mind Thanks
There's a lot of squinting going on. I think the resemblance is definitely closer to Father Christmas!!
That car has Dad written all over it! Follow mat armstrongs footsteps, his dad got a ferrari lol
I was thinking like Mat Armstrong "Dad this is yours"
The thieving staff at copart missed the wind deflector !!!!
Matt Armstrong rolls was cleaned by co part
What a result
01:32 secret switch, wonder what that does ha
Good score , give it to your dad
Give us a guide price for the Aston ?
Give it to your dad he deserves it
I dont know about calling it "Amy" more like "Lucky"!!! 🤣
How much is the Aston? What year is it
It's 2003 model.
How much is it a cat and cant find email
Why is the registration plates covered up? I thought UK cars have a reg no for life? I am not form the UK.
They are covered when delivered on the transporter from copart !
@@MaxMax-th7uz If I may ask why do they do that and why is it kept covered? Just curious about it.
Beast nice
be a good son and givw it to your dad
Should do a full servic first 😮
Beautiful car
where is the McLaren?
It’s literally there all the way through the video.
@ i ment being worked on, there is the mclaren and the alfa as well
I didn't know copart washed damaged cars before sending them to customers.
100% Dads 👍
very nice
Someone got lucky.
nothing wrong with that beast was someone's pride and joy until they called the insurance
start the thing before we dye of boredom
I've watched 5 mins and youi haven't taken the plugs out to see if there is water in the combustion chambers.....Wollies!!
Lovely car

Yeah, I’ve had that problem. Was told that it’s no good in the windscreen 👍
Give it to your dad or where all gunna unfollow 🤣🤣

I enjoy your vids but this one definitely has some hidden truths about it, seems very staged unfortunately
007 ::::: callling
What do you call a flood damaged Austin Martin? A Austin Martini 😂
If you don’t have anything to hide??? Then Say The Asking Price Like You Do In Every For Sale Car On Your Channel🤷🤷 you must have something to hide otherwise 🙄🙄
Service history is on the key no book
There is a service book.
Stop doing this stupid hands on head thumb nail
The temperature is up after 2 minutes running so staged it's pathetic
lol you ppl like pain and suffering lol
Looks so scripted and fake,you already knew it started
It's so staged😅
U flipping little bell end
please leave out the very bad jokes and get on with it ! none of them are the slightest bit funny
Is it a category? & how much?
Although I do think you should give it to ya old man
Who else think so….👍🏻
That would be brilliant
Can't you just run that for a couple of years and get some fun from it? I'm sure if you have a girlfriend she's going to love driving it as well? 🤔
