CAR SOS star Fuzz Townshend has revealed that he was forced to scrap his first ever motor aged just 15 – before buying a bus.
The presenter never even managed to get on the road before having to dispose of his first wheels.

Fuzz explained that his first car was a Ford Anglia he picked up while still in his teens.
As much as he loved it, he sadly had to get rid of it before he’d even qualified to drive.
That left him using his mum’s Fiesta until he was able to buy a true classic for himself.
He told AutoTorque: “I bought a Ford Anglia at 15, but scrapped it before I could drive, then I drove my mum’s Fiesta Mk 1.
“The first car I bought of my own to drive was a 1950’s series 1 Land Rover.”
However, it was his next purchase that really caught the eye, as he got himself a double-decker bus to potter about in.
Again, though, he offloaded this before giving it any used.
The star explained: ” I did also buy a double-decker bus.
“But I didn’t drive this [either].
“I got offered some money for it so I sold it so I could party for the summer.”
Since then, Fuzz has gone on to enjoy a successful career in both music and TV and now owns a large collection of vintage and exotic motors.
This includes everything from antique bangers to sleek new electric mopeds.
And given his vast experience buying and selling cars, drivers’ ears should prick up when he revealed the retro vehicles you can sell for a profit – including a Porsche currently available for just £3,500.
It comes after we gave readers a look inside an abandoned service station featuring a “UFO tower” on the side of a major UK motorway.
Meanwhile, a salesman who flogged junkyard bikes out of a garage aged just 14 revealed how he turned it into a £500 million classic car empire.
