YouTuber buys majorly damaged hand-built supercar few have heard of for $250 before realizing things are as bad as they seem

This YouTuber somehow found an actual British hand-built supercar with a measly $250 price tag, but with a huge catch — it had been in a fire and was damaged badly.

Despite that, he was hopeful that he could restore it, even if it required some serious work.

As shabby as it looked, he wasn’t wrong because almost anything can be restored these days with the right attitude and know-how.

Especially if you’re a car enthusiast with access to the right resources.

Man got British hand-built supercar for $250 to save it

YouTuber Tavarish once bought a Noble M12 GTO-3R, which was once an iconic British hand-built supercar, for just $250.

That price tag was synonymous with what this supercar looked like, and if it isn’t obvious by now, it was at rock bottom.

In a video from two years ago, Tavarish said he wanted to bring this machine back to its original glory, and it didn’t cost him much to even see if it was salvageable.

Most people – even dedicated enthusiasts – wouldn’t touch a car in a condition as bad as this Noble.

However, this wasn’t his first rodeo.

You could say he has a knack for this sort of stuff because he once bought a stripped and accidental Lamborghini Aventador, only to regret it later.

Or this Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 that he attempted to restore, for that matter.

How bad could this Noble M12 be?

While most fire or flood-damaged cars aren’t worth saving, some rare examples might just be.

Case in point — it doesn’t hurt to try your luck if you can afford it and know what you’re doing.

After all, it can sometimes be fruitful, and this restored Porsche 911 Turbo proves that fact.

Anyway, the British supercar that Tavarish had didn’t exactly come with a silver lining.

The YouTuber, along with his friend, disassembled the supercar to see if it was worth restoring.

Not long after they removed the body panels and revealed the chassis, they found almost the entirety of this machine burnt to a crisp.

Everything beyond the front bay was too far gone, and some not-so-expensive parts like the intercooler, some tubings, and the suspension were somewhat salvageable.

It’s a shame, really — because the Ford 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 sitting in the rear couldn’t get a second chance.

Unlike this wrecked Lamborghini Urus that got a second chance at life, the Noble M12 GTO-3R reached the end of its story.
