Like all presenters of car shows, Mike Brewer and Edd China are never knowingly understated, but these guys do have real skills. Mike buys classic cars and Edd restores them, starting this week with a Mercedes SL. Detailed and fun and with a cameo by Jurgen the German, the only drawback is that it takes two instalments to tell the story of each car.

Wheeler Dealers returns - to the delight of Britain's motoring fans - as the team takes on the challenge of a lifetime: renovating a Triumph Spitfire. Mikes hunts down a Triumph Spitfire using the internet. First, he looks at a GTR, but the car is in too early a state of restoration. He then moves onto a 29 years old Mark IV in British Racing Green. On the test drive, Mike hears a whining in the differential and has concerns for the suspension.

The second instalment of this majestic motor challenge sees the boys race against time on the Spitfire revival. Is a triumph on the cards for the team? Ed fits a new pair of shocks to the rear of the Spitfire. He also takes a look at a problem with the rear differential with the aid of his friend Paul.

Mike Brewer is on the look out for a Porsche 944 Turbo to buy cheap, restore and sell on. But the used cars he finds are either no-hopers or way too expensive. Then he spots an ad on eBay… can he win the auction and get a bargain classic car? Mike delivers the car he finally chooses to Edd, who on inspection sees there is not much to do to bring this used car back to its former glory. Mike’s answer to this is to get Edd to prepare it for a 944 track day. He reckons he’ll make more money on this than if he’d left it in standard road spec. Will he be right?

Wheeler dealer Mike Brewer has bought a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo, and instead of refining it for the road he has asked star mechanic Edd China to turn it into a track car. After Edd has finished with the car restoration, Mike and Edd head to Silverstone to really see what this modified Porsche 944 Turbo can do. Has Mike made the right decision to turn this used car into a track car, and more importantly, will it sell?

Mike has £5,000 to purchase and restore a classic car - the Audi Quattro, which has a huge fan base. Struggling to find one that matches the price he is looking for on the internet, Mike gives a few of his contacts a ring. He finds a 1986 Audi Quattro, but will it be cheap enough for him to make a tidy profit? Plus, on the way back to the workshop Mike has some problems with the clutch and worries that the budget will be hit hard if it means a big repair job!

Expert Wheeler Dealer Mike Brewer has got himself a much sought-after 1986 Audi Quattro, but he’s blown a big part of his budget on the classic car itself, so is hoping Edd won’t need to spend too much before selling it on. While Edd gets to work, Mike is off in search of a new interior for the used car. When the Wheeler Dealers have done all they can, Mike invites buyers to come and take a look. With these classic cars having a big fan base, he’s hoping for some real interest in this one!

Mike Brewer and Edd China go in search of a Classic Jensen Interceptor from the 1970s. This classic handmade GT cruiser was mentioned alongside Bentley and Aston Martin. At launch, it cost as much as a house, but Mike wants to find a car for £5000 or less.

The legendary Ford Sierra Cosworth looks like a family car but goes like a racecar with a motorsport-tuned turbo engine. To find one of these desirable classics at less than £5000 is difficult… but Mike has some clever ideas where to find a car.

Mike and Edd go on the hunt for the classic VW T2. When Mike decides to buy a camper, he discovers prices have never been higher, so he settles on the less-known panel van. Edd decides to completely repaint the car and uprate the engine.

This was was £60,000 new but can now be had for less than £5000. Mike Brewer samples one of the 90s great supercar bargains and snaps up what he thinks is a great car. But when Edd sees the car, he realises there’s plenty of work to be done on this cool V8.

A 70s classic car, the Stag still has an army of fans. Mike decides to find a rust-free car but it’s much harder than he thinks. Edd has to keep prices super-low or there’s no chance the pair will turn a profit on this one.

Mike buys a rare Bond Bug. A three wheeled eccentric alternative to sporty, classic motoring that is celebrating its 40th birthday. With most parts cheap and available this should be a welcome change of pace. However will Mike and Edd be celebrating a profit at the end?

The jaguar E-type is one of the most beautiful cars in the world. It's also one of the most significant British cars ever made. Mike goes looking for one, but soon realizes that his budget will get the duo a car at the most risky end the market, and Edd discovers parts prices on the original big cat are sky high. Have the team bitten off more than they can chew?

Designed as an off-road army car, the Mini Moke soon became a civilian cult classic, so this should be a winner. But will Edd and Mike agree on anything and get the job done?

Mike has always been a fan of the big, bold and beautiful Range Rover P38, but he knows it’s hard to make a profit on these pricey-to-fix cars. He buys a bargain and then Edd sets about mending it with salvaged and second-hand parts in an attempt to keep the parts spend super low. Will they resolve that nagging suspension problem? Will the SATNAV ever work again? And will they turn a profit on this modern classic? Mike and Edd head to the wilds of Exmoor to give the car a final test drive before they try to find a buyer.

Mike attempts to double his money as he takes a down-at-heel Frogeye Sprite from the lower leagues and tries to turn it into a premiership quality classic car. The engine comes out, the full body re-spray turns the car from red to fashionable blue, the interior is re-vamped and the metal work is re-finished as we transform the look of this fifties-designed classic. The final test drive is a blast around the banking at the famous Brooklands Motor Museum.

Mike goes on the hunt for a car with an historic badge, great performance and a low price tag, the Saab 9-3 turbo. Margins are tight on these motors so to stand any chance of making a profit, Mike and Edd have to save money in every area they can.

Mike finds a 914 in a barn, but under the muck he can see a profit in the 1970s sports car, so he buys it for a bargain price. Can Edd restore it to a saleable condition?

Mike wants a G Wagen - the popular German four-by-four. He finds one and Edd gives it a facelift, with a 2012 front end and rear lights. Will they land a big profit?

The cheapest Astons in the UK are around £16,000 but Mike decides he wants to spend less. By calling around some dealers, he finds a tired trade-in at a large main dealer. The car has interior water leaks and external oil leaks, it drives in a sloppy way, the engine is blowing, and it feels unloved. The dealer is willing to sell for £13,500 but Mike tries to get him down further. By taking a faded masterpiece, turning back the clock and finishing everything to a very high standards Mike hopes to get absolute top dollar when he sells it on.

The Ford Escort Mk1 might not be red and Italian but it’s a performance car icon. Generations of drivers wanted this car, and for many it was their first taste of a quick motor. Mike finds the search for an Escort is hard going – prices for rust-free original cars are high. The car he finds is a great as a base, and Mike wants to gently customise the Mk 1, to give it a compassionate retro refit, improving the handing and breaking but to also spruce up the face of a much love 70’s classic.

Mike buys a clapped out old Land Rover Mk3 for the bargain price of £5k. But Why has Mike chosen such an ugly duckling? It’s been painted matt black with an electric blue bonnet and blue trim on the wheels and interior. But he’s got a plan: re-spray it white, pass it on to Edd to fix-up, then sell it on and double his money.

The Boxster is the car that saved Porsche from going out of business when recession hit in the 90s. It may have been called the poor man’s Porsche, but this was unfair - it was 80% Porsche 911, for half the price. Although that ‘half price’ was still more than most could afford, until Mike tracks down an example with a bargain basement price tag.

The Morris Minor is like a little piece of England on four wheels. It’s robust, charming and a very useable classic car. In traveller guise, it is also made partly of wood. The car was designed by Alec Issogonis (who also penned the Mini) and was intended as a medium/large family car. It was a massive success and sold more than 1,000,000 units – amazing for a British car. Now the 60s cars are fetching high prices but many are rusty and in poor repair, so finding a good one can be tough. Mike manages to pick one up but then the work begins as Edd strips the car back to nothing but an engine on a bench before restoring a rebuilding it piece by piece.

Mike tracks down a TVR Cerbera for just £8,000. However, these classic sports cars are susceptible to rust.

Mike decides to go back to the 80’s and bags a bargain example of one of his dream cars - but there’s only £1000 to spend on repairs or the profit’s at risk. Edd isn’t convinced the XR2 deserves all the praise, but comes up with cheap and innovative solutions to add value. Mike finds a clever way to get Edd all the rare parts he needs and pulls out all the stops to prove the Fiesta is the hot hatch that started a fast Ford revolution.

The last of the air-cooled legends. Mike goes in search of what many fans consider to be the last truly great Porsche. What he finds is the cheapest, tattiest 993 in the country. Mike however, can see a mechanically sound motor and potential profit lurking beneath seventeen years of muck and grime. Edd sets to work on a rescue mission to restore the car’s racing pedigree. It’s unloved and underpowered but after Edd lavishes some care and attention on the car, will the smart engine fixes and custom handling package spell profit on a Porsche that is still major money?

With its legendary mix of unique technology and awesome performance, Mazda’s coupe is unlike any other. Mike finds one that appears to have nothing wrong with it and challenges Edd to make a good car even better. But these cars are complex and unforgiving. So while Edd handles with care, Mike sorts out some stylish mods to make the RX7’s looks match its performance.

Mike finds a fifty-six year old Citroën 2CV, retired in the sunny south of France. It’s a real people’s car with bags of charm. With cheeky bug-eyed headlights and rare suicide doors, the 2CV is one of the most recognisable cars ever designed and renowned, over its forty-two year production cycle, for its stark simplicity. Almost every aspect of this quirky car requires attention; Edd strips it back to bare bones to breathe new life back into the smoky old engine. A fresh paint job and interior will help to secure the car’s future for another fifty years but can Mike get top dollar for a car with no frills?

Mike buys a supercar from the super saver menu. An Italian thoroughbred for under £10k. But supercars mean super bills. Mike’s reports of wayward handling and a hair-trigger throttle could lead to either bankruptcy or a very nasty accident. Some of Edd’s smart solutions could help to keep the budget under control but will it be enough to tame this technology packed, turbocharged V8? Techy tyres help get the luxury GT powerhouse back on track and an overhauled air-conditioning system restores some Italian flair.

It’s time for the boys to tackle one of the meanest muscle cars around. But finding the right one won’t be easy as the Camaro is already a cult classic. Mike tracks down a part-finished restoration in California with its fair share of problems. Edd has his work cut out with loads of missing parts to find and fit. With all this time and effort, is there still a profit on the cards?

The team knows a rust-free GTO would be a great car to kick off the new U.S. workshop. But these cars are rare, and Mike has to travel all the way to Chicago – almost 2,000 miles – to find one. When he does, he discovers this great time-warp muscle car isn’t all it seems. Edd discovers it hides some gremlins, which will make it hard to sell in hot California. Mike sets them a challenge, to make a $10,000 profit. But the market isn’t always stable – will they manage?

A pickup truck is a stateside icon and Mike is keen to get into the booming classic truck market. He manages to find a 1950’s F1, which is an unfinished project. The bodywork has already been stripped of paint and this patina gives Mike an idea – give this down-at-heel Ford a vintage rusted look. Drawing inspiration from this creative vision, Edd creates a paint scheme based on a ‘sandstorm in the desert,’ brands the windows with molten steel and builds a high-spec flathead V8 to blast it down the road. But will this eccentric truck with its unique Wheeler Dealers style find a buyer willing to pay a premium?

Everyone has heard of the high-selling MGB but the car that came before it – the MGA – is the one Mike wants to track down for the U.S. workshop. Why? Because it looks great, goes around corners well, and sells for high prices. When Mike tracks down a California car for restoration he thinks it will be easy for Edd – just a few cosmetic jobs. But this isn’t the way Edd sees things and the result will surprise some hardcore MG fans. To make matters worse, he refuses to stick to Mike’s low budget. Sparks will fly!

The BMW 2002tii was better handling and more driver-focused than its contemporaries back in the early 1970s, attributes that have made it a desirable classic car today. Trouble is good ones are starting to go for big money. To stay in budget Mike has to take a real punt on a car that hasn’t been started for 17 years. With its fiendishly complicated mechanical fuel injection system and an engine that hasn’t run for nearly two decades, will Edd be able to bring this long dormant baby BMW back to life?

Perhaps the Americas’ biggest automotive joke, the AMC Pacer has long topped lists of the world’s worst cars. But Mike feels this neglected 1970’s hatchback is ready for classic status and he enlists Edd to help make this car cool again. Edd comes up with a visual transformation which he thinks will address the failures of the original styling and attract a 21st Century buyer. But with a limited budget and some very off-the-wall ideas will this gamble land them a big profit or major loss?

The Datsun 240Z was Japan’s answer the Britain’s MGB GT, only better. Trouble is they rusted and today cars in good condition with manual gearboxes are going for a fortune. The only rust-free car Mike can find in his budget is an automatic with a wheezing engine. Ever the optimist, Mike buys it anyway, hoping to turn it into a money-spinner by getting Edd to spice up the engine and swap the sluggish auto for a manual transmission – but can Edd deliver and still leave room for a profit?

In this episode, Mike and Edd take on the challenge of the Mercedes 560SL- 1987. If money were no object, the Mercedes 560SL was the car to buy in the 1980s. Mike finds a well looked after example in need of a complete refresh.

Mike gets his hands on a Japanese Ferrari, also known as a 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. One small fix becomes a big problem for Ant as the entire engine has to be removed but at least it gives him the chance to deal with even more problems along the way.

Mike finds a true Swedish Unicorn of the car world; a '95 Volvo 850 T-5R. A station Wagon with a racing pedigree. Unfortunately the turbo in the T-5R is in need of TLC and some left-field thinking is needed from both guys to solve the bodywork issues.

Mike tracks down a rare '91 Alfa Romeo 164L. He loves the look of the car but Ant has his work cut out for him. This Alfa has perfect bodywork, but it has a leaking engine, faulty steering, dodgy brakes, and a host of other issues.

Mike tracks down what he believes is the finest-handling front wheel drive car ever made, the Lotus Elan M100. If Ant can get the engine and suspension back to glory, then Mike is convinced that some cosmetic upgrades will seal the deal.

Car dealer Mike Brewer is back in the UK. Along with ace mechanic Marc 'Elvis' Priestley, he's on a mission to find and restore iconic cars to sell for a profit.

Some might say it looks like the Porsche 911's ugly sibling but one thing's for sure, the 1970 VW Fastback type 3 has character. Mike finds one that's well-loved, but it suffers from some typical SoCal mods. Plus oil leaks, tatty interior, and rust.

There's nothing on the road more American than the truck. Mike locates a long wheelbase '71 Chevy C10 truck. It's in great condition, but Mike feels they could maximize their profit if they can make this truck more drivable and ramp up the performance.

Mike and Ant finally get their hands on the greatest British sports cars never to have been built in Britain, a 1969 Datsun Roadster. It's handsome, fun to drive and prone to breaking down. Ant handles the steering, brakes and an engine that sounds like a lawnmower, while Mike brings a tired old soft top back to life.

Mike brings back a modern classic, a rare 2001 Audi S4 Avant. This estate car is the perfect blend of style and turbo-powered performance...or it would be if Ant can fix a mysterious engine leak, systemic problems in the cabin and an unsightly dent in the rear.

The name Saab might not always strike fear into the heart of the luxury performance crowd, but Mike gets his hands on something special, a 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen! A name inspired by Saab's aviation links, this really is a fighter jet on four wheels.

Mike and Ant turn their attention to a rare 2004 MX-5 Mazdaspeed, the only turbocharged version of the car Americans know as a Miata. The good news is it drives like it's been strapped to a rocket, the bad news is that it's noisy, leaky and desperately in need of some cosmetic TLC.

Mike and Ant welcome a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade to the workshop. With a V8 and a rare Levi's trim package, this car could fetch a bundle if it wasn’t half rusted out. It's up to Ant to repair the damage, while Mike tries to bring new life to the tired faux-denim stonewashed upholstery.

Mike and Ant welcome to the workshop a 1974 Fiat X1/9, a zippy little mid-engine sports car with superb balance and a distinctive paint color. It's a perfect entry-level classic car. The good news is there's hardly any rust. The bad news is the engine-shaped can of worms nestled behind the driver's seat.

Any Englishman worth his salt would jump at the chance to buy a 1964 Triumph TR4 in British Racing Green. Even better, Mike's found one that's rust-free.

Mike and Ant welcome a 1968 International Harvester Travelall that's an ancestor of the modern SUV.

Mike has his hands full trying to color-match a car with no paint code.

The 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe is one of the best-driving cars on the road, and Mike's found an excellent example of the famously clown-shoe-shaped car to bring back to the workshop. Ant will have to strengthen the subframe, delete the fan and repair the seats, while Mike takes care of the wheels.

To Ant's dismay, Mike buys a 1979 Triumph TR7, the wedge-shaped swan song of the venerable British sports car line. Ant will have to put aside his profound dislike of the car to get it back to road-ready shape, while Mike travels across the Pond to pick up a hand-made wiring loom.

Mike and Ant turn around a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 that's a high-horsepower veteran of the drag strip. But all that power under the bonnet makes for a violent driving experience, so they must dial it back to a more useable street cruiser.

Bought from a private seller in Chepstow, whose family had owned the car since new. The car had not been driven on the road since 2006, so Mike began with a primer on how to safely start the engine. Mike mentioned there were only 81 Mini 850 MK1s registered in the UK. The car achieved an indicated 90 mph after the engine improvements. Sold at asking price. Work Completed: Fitted new spark plugs as part of the process to start the engine after having sat idle for over a decade, replaced the missing primary and secondary clutch cylinders with period correct metal units, refurbished the external chrome brightwork using a spray chrome process, replaced the front drum brakes with disc brake units including new CV joints, skimmed the cylinder head for higher compression, added lead free valve seats for unleaded fuel, ported the head, added a new carburettor, camshaft, exhaust manifold and oil temperature gauge and repainted the engine bay and wheels.

Purchased in County Durham. Registered as a 1963 model, despite the Series I ending production in 1958.
