The video - posted on his JohnnyGetsCash channel - sees the pro improve the condition of eight different cars before selling or swapping them on.

He hopes to eventually "flip his way to a super car".

In the clip - highlighting the first part of his mission - Johnny buys a used Toyota Rava for £150 and then spent hours gutting the car.

After a spray wash and other repairs the car was sold on for £1,300.

After costs of £624 the expert made a profit of £676.

The motor expert used the cash to buy a second car for £750.

He then spent another £847 on restoring the used car and sold it on for £1,600. This made a profit of £753.

The wheeler dealer then bought a four wheel drive model for £750.

After a full refurbishment - which included repairs to the body and chassis - the car was sold on for £1,950.

The trader spent £855 on the car and made a profit of £1095.

The expert then used the cash to buy a Honda R for £3,150

He then spent another £3,258 on the car and sold it for £5,000 making a profit of £1,742.

The trader then bought a Nissan for £4,600 which he then spent £4,738 on refurbishing.

The Nissan was sold for £6,500 representing a profit of £1,762.

The trader then bought a Toyota Hilux pickup for £4,900 which was stripped back down and re-built.

The chunky truck was fitted out with radial tyres, a roll bar and fog lights.

The expert spent £2k on the truck which he then swapped.

The next car on the list was a Land Rover Discovery, which was also stripped back down and partially re-built.

The trader spent £7,065 on the truck which he sold for £8,995, giving him a profit of £1,930.

The final motor was bought for £6,916 and sold on for £10,500.

The series of transactions turned £150 into just over £12,000.

The expert posted a message on his social channel which read: "This video highlights the journey so far; from car one to car eight - a journey that saw me turn my initial spend of just £150 into a fairly hefty £12,166."

Zoe Ball is a famous and rich actress. But, as it turned out, his main source of wealth has nothing to do with cinema.

It comes after a motors expert made over £1k on the easiest car flip ever.

And another made more than £900 profit flipping a car on Facebook.
