Wheeler Dealers - Season 5 (2006)

First American vehicle in the series. Originally purchased as a non-running barn find with complete service and MOT records.

Mike and Edd are passionate about finding and restoring classic cars and selling them on to a new owner. This time, the Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce has caught the eye of the wheeler dealers for their project.

Original Italy-spec model that was previously coloured blue under the red paint. Sold at asking price. Revisited in 2010. Has new carburettors, but bodywork is starting to go at rear wheel arches.

Mike is now focused on one of Munich's finest. A car with a reputation for speed and style. A vehicle with a truly timeless silhouette, with a sharky front nose and a long elegant back. The fabulous BMW 635CSi.

Car was previously sent to Canada for several years before returning to the UK, resulting in a lackluster set of alloy wheels. It was also recently repainted before purchase. A second 635CSi (which failed an MOT test due to underside rust) was purchased for £350 through eBay as a donor vehicle.

Mike and Edd are at it again by taking tired old classics and putting them back on the road again. This time, it is America's favorite playboy motor, the Corvette. Everything about this motor screams American muscle car.

Acquired through eBay. Door card fabric and headliner were built from scratch using acoustic carpet, as genuine replacement parts are too expensive to import from the U.S. Faded paint on the body was used to mark down the selling price.

Mike is on a mission to transform the run down and rusty and get them back to that showroom shine and this time it is the turn of a modern masterpiece, the fabulous Lexus LS400.

Car was upgraded to be sold as a starter executive car targeting new/younger middle management type buyers.
