Multipla is at the heart of the conflict between the former duo of the Vilebrequin chain. It would have been bought for 132,000 euros by Sylvain Levy. Pierre Chabrier, for his part, evokes a “totally devalued” amount.
“No one knows the price at which I bought the Multipla. Nobody knows what ticket I put on the table,” says Sylvain Levy in a Youtube video published this Thursday, January 9.
The Multipa mentioned by the videographer is this famous vehicle, former emblem of the Vilebrequin chain. The duo rebuilt it from scratch, raising more than a million euros from their community to make this “crazy dream” come true.
If the two partners behind the account specializing in automobiles have since decided to part ways in December 2023, a conflict remained unresolved: who should the famous car belong to?
Initially, the 1,000 horsepower vehicle was, according to Pierre Chabrier, “to remain the property of Vilebrequin”. And the least we can say is that since then, the conflict has escalated. In August 2024, Pierre Chabrier accused his former partner, Sylvain Levy, of stealing the car in a 40-minute video. He would thus have sold the Fiat Multipla to himself. And this, without the agreement of Pierre Chabrier.
A “totally devalued” amount
“Today, he tried to take the last thing that mattered to me,” he denounces. “He sold the Multipla to himself. He bought it back without my consent to benefit from it alone.”
Worse still, Sylvain Levy would have obtained the vehicle for a pittance. “The amount of this buyout is completely devalued compared to the amount that Multipla is really worth, particularly in relation to its notoriety which has been completely devalued. It looks like a nice middle finger,” he continues.
A question then burns the lips of their respective communities: how much was bought back from Multipla. In a Twitch live, Pierre Chabrier is categorical, legally he cannot communicate the amount. “I get asked a lot about the price of Multipla, which I can’t tell you about at the moment because the sale is currently in progress,” he explains.
An argument refuted by his former sidekick. The latter published this Thursday, January 9, a long video going back point by point on Pierre Chabrier’s accusations against him, and in particular on the Multipla affair.
“I tell you in complete transparency, there is absolutely nothing that prevents neither him nor me from talking about the price. And the price is 132,000 euros,” says Sylvain Levy, who confides that he has bought the vehicle for fear that Pierre would buy it and expose it in his project of a garage bar called Racebox. For his part, Sylvain wanted to run the vehicle.
A sum estimated by an expert
“It’s much more advantageous to say that it’s a middle finger, because people will believe that it’s a euro, like that, it allows you to sweep it under the rug. But right now, Pierre is bathing in my tickets,” he exclaims.
The sum of 132,000 euros would have been estimated by an expert. “Do you think I did the thing in bandit mode? That I threw away 132,000 euros like that? It’s a value of someone who is sworn in and who, legally, is obliged to tell the truth”, explains the videographer.
It then details how the vehicle would have been estimated. “It’s 200,000 euros worth of parts, and then there’s VAT, shipping costs, customs and labor. The expert took the value of the parts, he put an obsolescence , the Multipla has more than 3,000 km on the clock And then the Multipla is broken, so it costs 30,000 euros. 132,000 euros is very well paid,” says Sylvain Levy.
“With 132,000 euros, you buy a house, not a DIY project that looks like a Multipla and is unusable,” he asserts.
Legal action is currently underway. According to Pierre Chabrier, the sales procedure has since “been canceled” by the courts “to do so in order, vis-à-vis the justice system, the company and the subscribers”.
