Wheeler Dealers British Classics

Take one canny car trader, a mechanical maestro, £5,000 and a load of oil, sweat and know-how, and what have you got? Wheeler Dealers of course! Mike Brewer and Edd China hunt for treasures as they find rundown classic cars and transform them into sleek, gleaming beauties ready to sell on to a punter for a healthy profit. Mike starts with a handy £5,000 and then goes on the hunt for a decent motor for the price - looking through small ads, internet auctions, specialist clubs and garage forecourts to find the perfect second hand car. Once Mike s found the right car, he uses all his canny experience to negotiate the best price, then it s back to the Wheeler Dealers workshop where Edd casts his expert eye over what Mike has dredged up - because there are usually more than a few bits and pieces that need a bit of work. Edd then starts on the renovation, giving tips along the way about electrics, structural issues, mechanics, cosmetic touches and finishing work. Once all the work is done, the boys clean it up, get a new MOT and get behind the wheel to take the revamped motor for a test drive. All Mike has to do then is to find a willing punter and get them to part with their cash, with the aim of making a tidy profit.
