Wheeler Dealers new series starts 4th October

[DSLiverpool]

I would have bought that in a heartbeat - buyer sounded scouse maybe I'll see it up here.

[Nick Grant]

It wasn't a Bel Air though so it was quite annoying that they kept referring to it as such. Mike did say earlier in the show that it was a Two Ten with Bel Air trim added. It was really interesting for me this week though as the owner of a '57 Two Ten Four Door Sedan

[Matt_N]

Really didn't like the colour, way too much yellow, should have kept the lower half a lighter colour to balance it out.

Reminded me too much of the old Danny De Vito Taxi series.

When the repainted car rolled up on the trailer that was my initial thought.

I think it would of made much more sense to re-paint it the original black, at least the dash would of matched and it would of looked a million times better too imo.

S09E04 is up on p*bay, but listed as E03 for some reason.

A good series but far too false for television. What dealer in their right mind is going to drop from $14k to $6.7k just like that? It's a put up job for tv. Perhaps they really paid more for the car once the camera was turned off?!
Apart from that, it's good to have an interesting car programme on tv, (unlike Topgear).

That dealer rolled over so quickly, I was already booking my flight to Florida

[Trustmeimadoctor]

the dealer may not have paid anything for the car with it been a barn find

I enjoy WD.

I was a bit disapointed with this series though as they appeared to spend more time recovering old ground and showing us what we had seen just 10 minutes before and not enough time with Ed working on the cars.

Paul got sa fair bit of airtime this week didnt he, even his own 'grimace' shot when refitting the seats,

Maybe even a speaking part one day?

[croyde]

Programmes that keep doing these recaps after the ads are starting to do my head in, especially in these days of Sky+ etc when you are skipping the ads anyway.

Even the BBC are doing it now by shoving in an ident or graphic then recapping the last 10 minutes.

How to make a 25 minute programme fill 42 mins without the ads.

[CzechItOut]

I've only just got Sky and can't stop watching this bloody programme. Not too keen on the new series, but I have been enjoying the repeats of Porsche 911 and 928, BMW M3 and 6-series, the Bentley etc.

Ironically, in the real world I'm too lazy to fit a new badge that I bought about two years ago to my car.

I enjoy the series a lot, but prefer the UK based cars. However, I have just discovered a series called 'An MG is Born'. This really does go into every single detail of restoring a car/building one from bits.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

a car is reborn is an e type
a car is born is a pilgrim sumo cobra rep
