Obviously wheeler dealers has been going a little while now and they have completed a few cars, some rather better than others!

Are there any of them on here or any that people know about? Some like the cerbera must have surely gone to an enthusiast?

I'm going to look at one with a mate on Tuesday with a view to buying it. I may have to be filmed buying it as my mate doesn't want to go on telly!

I think I saw a Masser 3200 on classifieds earlier which suggested it had been on a motoring program.

Which one are you going to look at if you don't mind asking?

Have you planned any amusing phrases or actions to drop into the conversation? Or you could try and out handshake mike!

the blue mk1 mx5 they did years ago was on sale on PH about a year ago.

The blue mx5 had a rusted windscreen, Strange one on an mx5, havent see much rust on that area on mx5's But you can be damn sure if its got a rusty windscreen pillar the sills would be absolutely rotten through, They also added on some terrible tat you would find in halfords, Chrome grills, Chrome air vent rings, shifter boots etc. looked terrible.

It was also on their re-visited program where it had been sold to a woman who had pretty much destroyed it, Was running on no oil on the dipstick etc.

It showed up on Ph classifies not much later, MOT failure, rotten sills and arches. Spares or repairs.

I believe I have read via Ed China's Twitter that the VW van they did & wrapped in a bubble effect graphic caught fire & died a fiery death on a motorway hard shoulder.

A quick Google search brings up a PH thread that also suggests the cars are perhaps sold via "my mate Paul's" eBay account

I know one of the guys who owned the 928 a few years after it was featured, and whilst I don't know the current owner directly a few mates do.
