Anyone bought a 'Wheeler Dealers' car?
Discussion
As already pointed out, i would not touch anything from Mike Brewer, such a cheapskate especially with the Capri they so called restored, i also f

I love the idea of the show, but have to appreciate its all a load of balls. Was told the cars were never sold on the show then they turned up on ebay a few months later. Most seem to be with the same dealer near London last time i looked.

I like that a lot!I couldn't possibly buy one... "Ollld out yerrr and!"
On a side point, I appeared on ITV's "Used Car Roadshow" many moons ago. I was interested to see what stock they'd turn out, but of the three cars one had fag burns on the interior and the other was highly iffy, with airbag light on, cracked windscreen and dodgy private seller, so I declined. (The third was an overpriced but minty CLK 200)

I WD that Edd China really peeves me He would be great on strictly come dancing but just with his hands the he waves them about.The worse that made me cringe was the 67 Mini the amount of filler he put in that N/S door I cringed and the capri well what a pigs ear he did on that.So Edd leave the bodywork to someone who knows what they're doing Brewer where do you get your figures from when buying cars? I'm surprised he isn't bankrupt
Given that from memory Brewer cooked that 310,and given that all car TV shows involve as much "trickery" as is required to get the "Shoot" "In the can" I wouldn't touch anything that has appeared on ANY tv show.... Either that or if you have to have this car (and yes I understand it's rarity and beauty) leave them your phone no and bid half what it's up at,be prepared to send the other half plus more on righting the wrongs to make the car reliable and usable......
My son and then myself owned the Wheeler Dealers Mk2 Jag for a number of years. However, it certainly looked like it had been quite badly neglected by the following owner(s) before Ed got his hands on it. It cropped up for sale several times soon after I sold it with the mileage never seeming to increase. A couple of adds even said it was a race car, but of course there was never any substantiating evidence.
Just seen the end of WD trading up or whatever it was, where he's trading all over the world.
In the end he ended up with a first gen 996 in Dubai.
Am I missing the point? Surely he should have bought the final car in the UK?
I very much doubt if it would be possible to buy any of those cars, ship them half way round the world & still make money on them...
