Scorpion TV sighting

[Pete Whitstone]

I was watching the most recent Wheeler Dealer episode because they were doing a cool old Land Rover. Mike goes to this guys shop to look for accessories for it, and I spotted this in the background.

Also a Ferrari (mentioned in the show), a Porsche 914, and others. About 26 minutes in.

Pete, turn off the TV and get back to the 037!!!!

Not to worry! I only watch TV when I'm supposed to be working, so no time lost on the 037 project.

$23k.

Watched the episode last night. They walked around that Lancia a few times. Now I’m searching Google earth trying to find that helipad. lol. I guess the $23k was value, but I’d be worried it wouldn’t pass smog. Or did diesel’s get a later-year pass than did ICE engines?
UPDATE: 1997 cutoff for diesels. Wow, who knew. Makes even less sense?

My 2001 F350 did not have to have any state inspection other than the $14 "safety only" check that they give 25+ year old vehicles in TX. No smog/pollution inspection of any kind. That always seemed odd to me, that thing had to put out more pollutants than a Honda.
