I love wheeler dealers, but I hope this isn't like the last series where a LOT of extra things got done that were not even documented in the show. I guess there's only so many times you can have ed showing us how to replace pads and disks!

I think thats the issue. Although the cars the changed you cant always show Ed doing the same things week in week out. Thats probaly why they change/fix things that most people wouldn't do to their own cars just to show you alternative options.

Changing the lights on the Boxster is a prime example.

No chance Maserati 3200 will be the best. No supercar can be bought for so little and the looks! Yes I'm biased as an owner!!!

VW Camper van Type 2 (Bay or Splitscreen) would be the obvious guess.

Haven't they already done the VW van thing though, twice?

Once was the horrible beige thing that got wrapped with the bubble vinyl, apparently they couldn't sell it so Ed kept it for himself.

They also did an older VW van that they painted metallic bright orange.

The 15 x 60-minute season will air across DNI’s 224 countries and territories, as well as on Velocity Channel in the U.S., beginning in March 2014 in the UK.

Season 11 will continue the format of Brewer buying a car for China to restore which is then sold, with the exception of the 100th build, where Brewer and China work together on a rare car from the 1953 movie Genevieve, and participate in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.

Other highlights of the upcoming season include the restoration of an amphibious car; and cars sourced from the Netherlands, France, the U.S. and the UK.

Maybe not, it could be interesting if they purchased a knackered one and showed how to rebuild the rotary engine.

That would be cool, plus Mike tends to favour OE spec cars, they might un-fast and furious it, they're pretty things in OE spec IMO.

I don't think you've been watching the same Wheeler Dealers as the rest of us...
