Wheeler Dealers Series 10

[KillerHERTZ]

Why why why did I sell my old cars ages ago.

If only I'd known.

Would you have had anywhere to store an unused car for 30 years though?

They made more profit out of a baggy old Escort than they did from the DB7, that made me laugh. Wish I never scrapped the green one I had....or the yellow one.....the list goes on.

 

[jaymanek]

Thats the way it often goes... the parts for the DB7 were astronomically priced, even considering they would have wangled TV company discounts.

Escort parts cost nothing...

Ask Mocas, he loves storing cars on his driveway, hoping for future classic status

 

[JimboDS]

Caught up with this last night.

I can't watch an episode of Wheeler Dealers without opening up Auto Trader and Car and Classic to tempt myself

 

[KillerHERTZ]

mmm.

Could that gearbox problem really be solved with a simple service?

Look how staged the show is (we knew this anyway)

And the seller wouldnt have tried a £200 ATF change before letting it go for a paltry £1,000 ? Oh well its only a TV programme not the real world !
Didnt like the black wheels though and thought silver would have looked better.
The disc refacer was a neat bit of kit.

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Never been a fan of the Mk1 Boxster, but that looked excellent at the end

A set of Hella DRLs for the front vents + private plate and it would have looked almost new to the untrained eye.

Possibly their greatest turn around?

That'll be the one the toady little "expert" described as being a V8 diesel at the beginning which was in fact a straight six.

 

[bigmacplease]

I did notice that on the show. It's still got the same milage from the show. ... odd

I see you have posted this at random in at least 2 web site forums.....is there a Merc involved in ep 1 ?

 

[kinaero]

Mike Brewer is now a bit of TV celebrity now isn't he?

I used to see him serving customers behind the counter all those years ago in a shop called On Ya Bike in Manchester.

 

[brucemillar]

He also promotes one of the most dishonest, loathsome, toadying dealerships known to man.

Big Motoring World.

LAMBORGHINI URRACO
17th September

Mike heads out to Poland to bag one of the most exciting and exclusive cars we've ever done - the Lamborghini Uracco. Prices are rising thanks to the company's 50th anniversary and dwindling supply of these 70s supercars. Mike finds a car that's been kept in a collection for years - without turning a wheel. It doesn't start, it can't drive. But it's in great condition in every other way. Can Mike turn this huge gamble into a great profit?
FORD POPULAR
24th September

Mike's father used to own a custom favourite, the Ford Pop, and Mike has spent long hours during his childhood wishing that he had one. That day has come but Pops are notoriously variable in their quality, often expensive, and usually rare. Mike finds a car with dangerously set-up steering and decided to take a punt on it. For once they forget the idea of profit, and Mike asks Edd to 'go mad' and to make the Pop 'amazing'. Can Edd deliver?
CORVETTE C2
1st October

This car is one of America's first sportscars and it's amazingly good to drive. This is why the C2 Stingray is one of the world's sports icons. Mike heads to the USA to hunt for a car that's rust free and happens upon an example that's been partly restored...and at a great price. But the C2 is far from being finished and it needs Edd's experienced hands to get it on the road to recovery.
SYRENA
8th October

Mike heads to Poland to sample the FSO Syrena - one of the rarest motors we've tackled and one of the most quirky. The Syrena looks and feels like a 50s car although it was built decades later. With such an oddball vehicle, that is virtually unknown outside Poland, how will Mike and Edd add value to it, and crucially, make a profit?
LOTUS ELISE
15th October

The Lotus Elise is a drivers' dream. It's good looking, quick, and handles like a racing car. Mike wants to buy one but soon realises that he can't add value to a car that's already excellent. But then he hits on the idea of making an Elise that can perform not only on the road, but the track too. Will they add enough driving excitement to collect a profit?
CADILLAC COUPE
17th October

Mike's desire to own a classic Cadillac with fins leads him to an early 60s car that is on sale at the equivalent of only £3000. It's a one owner, matching numbers vehicle, with minimal rust and loads of lovely chrome. The bad news is that the wrecked interior, huge dents and mottled green/grey paint make this car look like it belongs in a horror film. Can Mike and Edd turn this ugly duckling into a swan?

No Mercedes this season but we all like a classic don't we ;-)

 

[KillerHERTZ]

I just hope its returned to how it started out - concentrating on fixing the cars, showing how its done rather than a quarter of the ep watching Mike & Edd having a creamtea, or them dressed as James Bond outside a Chippy.

 

[HotJambalaya]

Just watching the TVR episode, damn that Edd is one hell of a mechanic.

Really no need for mike whatsoever really

 

[jamesfuller]

I enjoyed some of the old Mercedes ones especially the g wagen eppisode.
When I sold my XJS I was going to get a DB7 but my neighbour had such trouble selling his it put me off. Went for a Ferrari instead and never regretted it.
I still have a soft spot for the old chrome bumper V8's and Vantages though.

Loved the TVR Cerbera episode, since I've always had a hankering for one.
