- Welcome back to "Chop To The Top" - The series where i BUY/ SELL/ FLIP & TRADE my way up from a super cheap car to an all out SUPERCAR!
Having started this process with a £150 Toyota Rav4 - in the previous episode you saw me start with a budget of more than £25,000 and I went out and bought two cars - A Ford Mondeo & A Range Rover Sport....
Both of these cars have now sold and today I will be going over the figures and telling you how much profit I made on each car as well as what the current kitty is before showing you what it is that I've bought to move forward with!

Great thanks to those owners who save all car history, it is a big thing for keeping classic cars alive!
Looking at rarity records online, this is 1 of 21 left on all UK roads, so a gem indeed! I'd wager that most are off the road; so the fact you have a running one, ready to cruise, is something else!
Johnny, you should keep this one forever. These cars are so rare and your so lucky to have a gem like this…
Finally!! Chop to the top! Not yet another video of you standing in front of a car talking about making another chop to the top video😂
Still a lot of talking. I’d prefer a shorter video just featuring the work on the car as well as a short intro.
Great attention to detail as always 👌
Great video mate, and stunning 🤩 car 🚙 Iv always wanted one too.
Now that is a proper whip! What an amazing find and in such good condition. Great vid and looking forward to next one.
OMG i did not even watched the video yet, but i am so EXITED!!!!!!!
Beautiful looking car. Great job as always
Great to see the 'chop to the top' series back Johnny 👍🏻 what a cracking car it is too for it's return. The build quality just shines through & is what helps this 24 year old car look as good as it does now (along with some of your usual TLC of course) I'm sure it will sell & go to an AMG enthusiast. Like you always had a soft spot for fast estates which does come from the best era of BTCC & those Volvo's. Look forward to the next vlog. All the best 👍🏻
Enjoyed this one Johnny, look forward to the update when it sells. Keep the content coming as it really does work well.
Great video, I’ve found it for sale and I’m pretty sure you’ll get what you’re asking for it. Those who know what it is will definitely snap it up, hell I’d be interested myself if I knew I could talk the missus round, but that’s not going to happen this side of hell freezing over. 🤣
Johnny youre a classy man, beautiful fast estate very subtle very understated nice thing. Lovely engine burble😊
Great video 👍A friend of mine has one absolutely stunning car 😍
Really love the music and the presentation
Thanks very much! Music is very hard to get right on these videos so it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying it!
Stunning, always loved these needs the little bits of body work done tho to make it perfect, I think it deserves it as the rest of the car is still looking fresh 👌
That interior is top notch
5:35 I actually fist pumped when I saw the original radio in this car. 😂😭
Think this would look very nice on the back of my trailer Jon, I'll wait for your call 😍😍🙌🤝
About time
I've been looking for an EClass but would be interested to know what you want for this once it's done.
Lovely car
Had to chuckle when you said the engine will happily go round the world 3 times. It's been around over 6 times already 😉
Great vid! Maybe make it bit more compact: plan for the car, what next, then -> ?
Awesome detailing there Johnny, can you do my car next??
Those late 90s/early 00s mercs were the best style imho
The C43 is soooo cool, much cooler looking than the C32 I had 😮💨
Nice find. I have been waiting for a merc. Do you have to pay sales tax on the profits?
Simply stunning, enough said.
My neighbour has had three same shape C200s in a row. Their build quality and reliability has been horrendous! His current one is a low mileage example, but is literally falling apart, so be careful if you're into W202s. Hope AMG did a better job.
Gorgeous car, bit too much power for me though, I have a very heavy foot already. I would need a bank loan to fill it with fuel and replace the tyres twice a year. LOL 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey man loving the series 👍🏻 where do you buy most of your cars?
Thank you. I buy from a variety of sources. Some direct, some through auction, some brokers and others via wanted ads. To be honest sourcing is a full time job in itself!
WHERE DO YOU FIND THOSE CARS..MOST OF US DON'T GET THOSE DEALS
Gorgeous Mercedes estate.
The arch lips/extensions are standard fitment on the AMGs.
The new informative is good, but seems quite different to your earlier videos lol maybe kep it a bit compact pal, great video ill keep on watching em
Looking forward to this one, :) do you like Nissan Qashqai?
It’s not a car I have had a lot to do with!
@@JohnnyGetsCashthanks for the reply it’s my car and it’s very popular throughout Ireland
Wow nearly 4 grand profit if you get your asking price, nice work if you get it, nice car
Will catch up with this when I have a spare hour… but a question I’ve been wondering is what is your target supercar?? I think I’ve watched all the vids in this series (apart from this one!) and don’t remember you saying or hinting??
I’ve been playing my cards quite close to my chest on the supercar so I haven’t actually revealed it yet. All I can say is that it’s a car that I’ve wanted since I first set my eyes on one and I can’t wait to get hold of one and bring it to the channel! Stay tuned 👍
930 turbo is my guess
@@JohnnyGetsCash i think you are like two years younger than i am. and your supercar is one of, bmw 850i, lamborghini countach, ferrari testarossa, aston martin db7. but, yeah, thats what i would go for :D
I think a Ferrari 458 it’s my dream super car
I think there underrated but really very special and for a Ferrari practical 😊
I’m guessing an Audi R8…
Bought a w202 c230k manual for €1500 seemed to be more rare than an amg still own the car I love it want to flip it and make a oem+ car and make massive profit on it which will be easy!
Love the c43 btw dream Mercedes sedan still is a c43 or c36 preferably with a manual transmission swap
From looking online the advisories on the tyre were for the drivers side, not the passengers side you appeared to be looking at!
I understand that this is 1 of 140 UK supplied cars. There is currently one for sale on a T-plate [1999] by a private seller. MOT'd to July 2024 with 81,000 on the clock, but has had 5 registered keepers.
Your saying “but has 5 registered keepers” like that’s even a bad thing 24/25 year old car with only 5 owners that’s low
RS6 next... 😉
Supercharge it 😂❤
Great video, i was bidding on this car at SWVA auctions but with transportation costs it went over my budget. You got it at a good price for £4,300 in the end should see a good profit. They also had the C32 AMG estate up for auction as well. You should have bought both!
Well that’s a rare piece of rocking horse 🐴 poo if ever. Jesus god I wish I lived there to buy it finished. ❤
Funny enough, I saw a black on black C43 AMG estate a few weeks back in West London. Totally forgot about them
I saw this on Car and classic!
I saw this same car on Car and Classics.
