Wheeler Dealers New Series......

[mattman]

Surprised not to have seen a thread on it yet, but loved the Urraco last night, yes it couldn't have been more staged if they tried, but what an awesome car. They didn't seem to cover any of the electronics or the frozen windows, i know if that was me i would still have the car in pieces tracing endless problems.

If that polish garage was genuine they could easily have done a whole series just recommissioning the cars in there.

Just makes me wish i had an Ed style workshop available to let me tinker

I wish I had an Ed that didn't charge me labour! I do enjoy watching it though.

Yep,best one yet,I watched a 're-run of the one when they did the TVR Cerbera 1st and thought that was a big enough job for Ed China but the Urraco was something else.Nice to see Ed got to drive it too.Surely it was worth more than 35k??

Strange story, I attended Carfest South in mid August where Ed drove the car on the hillclimb
they said it was HIS car from the series??

What a load of tosh.
Ed "hairdresser hands" / Top Tip never has any problems as such with these cars. On this one, no mention in the costs of 1st reg fee, MoT, battery, etc etc. And all the Italian electrics actually worked? All a bit unreal. No broken bolts, worn out suspension. Yea, right!

The suspension was in amazing condition. The bushes in the sub frame looked like new when they put the engine back in...

And it didnt even need an oil change or tappet adjustment after sitting for several years, amazing!
