MIKE AND EDD ARE BACK WITH MORE WHEELING AND DEALING ON DISCOVERY TURBO

Mike Brewer and Edd China are back to put their refurbishing skills to the test on a brand new season of WHEELER DEALERS. Catch Mike and Edd as they take on restoration jobs to bring old jalopies out of retirement and salvage cars bound for the scrap yard, giving them new lease on life - with cash returns for their hard work! 

With the country deep in the grip of the credit crunch and everyone tightening their purse strings, WHEELER DEALERS returns to perk up all hungry motor fans and provide a bit of four-wheeled escapism. On each episode, the WHEELER DEALERS select a particular make and model to repair, then sell it to a new owner. Mike - the salesman extraodinaire - is responsible for buying the original vehicle then selling it after it has been restored. Edd is the mechanical genius who gets the vehicle back into roadworthy condition.

As costs are going up, the guys have to work really hard to stretch their dollar even further. Witness the motor magicians at work and pick up invaluable tips that could save you a pretty penny as Mike and Edd demonstrate simple jobs that can make a big difference to a car.

This season, Mike and Edd get to work with the best from the classics, including a Triumph Spitfire, Volkswagen Beetle, Porsche 944 Turbo, Audi Quattro and Jaguar XJS.
