The second instalment of this majestic motor challenge sees the boys race against time on the Spitfire revival. Is a triumph on the cards for the team? Ed fits a new pair of shocks to the rear of the Spitfire. He also takes a look at a problem with the rear differential with the aid of his friend Paul.

Mike Brewer is on the look out for a Porsche 944 Turbo to buy cheap, restore and sell on. But the used cars he finds are either no-hopers or way too expensive. Then he spots an ad on eBay… can he win the auction and get a bargain classic car? Mike delivers the car he finally chooses to Edd, who on inspection sees there is not much to do to bring this used car back to its former glory. Mike’s answer to this is to get Edd to prepare it for a 944 track day. He reckons he’ll make more money on this than if he’d left it in standard road spec. Will he be right?

Has Mike made the right decision to turn this used car into a track car, and more importantly, will it sell?

Plus, on the way back to the workshop Mike has some problems with the clutch and worries that the budget will be hit hard if it means a big repair job!

While Edd gets to work, Mike is off in search of a new interior for the used car. When the Wheeler Dealers have done all they can, Mike invites buyers to come and take a look. With these classic cars having a big fan base, he’s hoping for some real interest in this one!

With so many to choose from on the internet and trade magazines Mike is spoilt for choice, but will he find a bargain? The classic car he ends up with hasn’t been on the road for years, so Mike has to pick it up on the trailer to get in back to star mechanic, Edd China, in the workshop. It hasn’t run in years, so fingers are crossed when the battery is connected to see if it turns over…

Mike’s got himself a 1960’s VW Beetle, a truly iconic classic car with a huge following. Mike stocks up on new parts for this car and hands them over to his star mechanic Edd to fit them all.

Will they end up making a sale, or will this one end up on the scrap heap?

Mike Brewer, King of the Wheeler Dealers and used car expert, is searching for a Jaguar XJS, one of the most famous classic British sports cars Jaguar has ever produced, and worth £40,000 back in the day.

Mike and Edd have been working hard on Jaguar’s most famous classic sports car, the XJS. With Mike off finding a new bonnet for the 1989 Jaguar XJS, Edd starts to repair the gearbox mount.

Expert car trader Mike Brewer usually has £5000 to purchase and restore an iconic car but this time it’s a little different. Mike is after a classic Ferrari and that’s going to take a bit more cash so the budget is going to be blown out of the water. Even going for the more affordable Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino the budget needs to be almost doubled. With such a risky move is this classic going to reap in the rewards or leave Mike and Edd struggling? With the car being 30 years old and handmade star mechanic Edd has his doubts but begins by knuckling down on the exterior. Only time will tell if he can get this 70’s super-car back to its former glory.

Wheeler dealer Mike Brewer has gone and bought his most extravagant car yet, a 1974 Ferrari Dino. Spending almost double the usual budget he has a lot riding on this project.

Putting in the hours Edd fixes the problem with the exhaust and after a surprising paint job on the car the guys take it out on a test drive. With the car looking, sounding and driving its best it’s now time for Mike to sell this super-car and hopefully turn a profit.
