Wheeler Dealers is a British TV series originally produced by Attaboy TV for the Discovery Channel in the UK and for Motor Trend in the U.S. The programme is fronted by car enthusiast and former dealer Mike Brewer with mechanics Edd China (Series 1-13), Ant Anstead (Series 14–16), and Marc Priestley, (Series 17-18)
The premise of the show has the presenters on a mission to save old and repairable enthusiast vehicles, by repairing or otherwise improving an example of a particular make and model to a budget then selling it to a new owner. The show ended after Season 18 due to a cliffhanger with Mike Brewer’s Exit in the final ever scene of Season 18.The programme was created by Daniel Allum and Michael Wood, the founding directors of Attaboy TV, both long-time car enthusiasts.
Series 1 was aired in 2003. Series 5 was renamed Wheeler Dealers On the Road, with Brewer and China expanding their car search by heading out into Europe hoping to find classic cars to buy and restore. The second half of Series 6 was aired in the autumn of 2009 on Discovery Real Time.
Beginning with part 2 of Series 8, Brewer further expanded their horizon by touring the United States. In Series 12, Brewer and China set up a new workshop in a rented bay at Huntington Beach Bodyworks, 18108 Redondo Circle, Huntington Beach, California. This decision was made so that they could deliver more episodes of the show and meant they were able to restore and sell the cars on the spot, instead of having them shipped back to the UK. Once the American operation was established, it moved to more suitable premises at 5382 Research Drive, Huntington Beach. Series 17 (2021) saw the show filming return to the UK.In April 2013 a spinoff series titled Wheeler Dealers Trading Up was launched. This series was produced by X2 Productions Ltd and has Brewer travelling around the world to buy and sell but not repair or restore used cars in different countries on a set budget. A second spinoff series titled Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car premiered in January 2020, with Brewer and mechanic Marc "Elvis" Priestley lending their expertise to add value to clients' cars helping them trade up to their dream vehicle.

    Calling all Australian XPower owners, im looking at organising a group of us to approach MG. Dealers care not.

    Im at the point of moving things up a notch, the vibration is well known and its totally unacceptable for a new car, hours of droning vibrations on the highway. Even my first car was better on retreads. So, getting off the lounge chair and from behind the screen, its time to turn it up. For...

    Servicing at MG dealers

    Is it necessary to service MG electric cars only at our local MG dealer or can we use any garage who undertake work on electric cars. If we were to do this could it affect the warranty?

    Dealers familiar with CCS firmware update

    Is there anyone who has had the CCS firmware update (ZF EV) done to allow Tesla charger use, in the North West of England or North Wales? I would be grateful for the name of a dealership and even better a contact name.

    Dealers Cull - Sad Day

    MG UK have just advised me to look for a new service centre. My excellent dealer Thompson First of Stroud has been removed from the dealer network. A sad situation when one reads of the many naff MG dealers out there.
