I have to agree, no way were they offered 5000 pounds and your right they were lucky to get 2500 from these guys but I still wonder how do they pass the MOT or are there special arrangements for 40 year old cars, we don't have yearly checks in Australia. We get gouged enough on the rego.

It’s a fun conceit, but it is very contrived - for example they haven’t given up their jobs - they’re presenters! I enjoy it for what it is, but it’s a show, don’t listen to the guff about money, budgets, time constraints- they’re part of the show, it’s not about flipping cars to make money, it’s about delivering audiences to advertisers to make money. I can enjoy the show but I’m not kidding myself about what the real business model is.

What I like about this show is that it reminds me of the initial seasons of Wheeler Dealers, just before Mike ruined it. I would like these guys to put more work on the cars even if that means more days working on it

[@philipbunker146]

I agree it is “mirroring” the earlier series of WD. I see that they are also introducing more 3rd party specialist into doing up the cars too, as opposed series 1 & 2.

[@Parknest]

Paul Brackley (Technical Advisor) and Daniel Allum (Executive Producer) both worked on Wheeler Dealers during the Attaboy days. Please don't bash Mike Brewer (FYI, I was firmly on Edd's side when he left WD). Things went downhill when Discovery became the producers and you can't blame Mike for that as he's just the presenter. He didn't ruin WD.

[@philipbunker146]

@@Parknest I was less enamoured with WD when they tried being a comedy act!

[@fd4639]

@@Parknestwhile I substantially agree with you, the fact is that producers wanted to shorten the technical tranches led by Edd. I presume that if Mike had supported Edd in his claim and stick to their boots as a couple, the producers may have ruled in their favor and the show might still be on air. But Mike just wanted the show to go on, no matter what.

The engines and gearboxes don't break so there is little demand.The ancillaries do. Bonnet and boot lids rarely sell either and when they do they aren't worth much. Grill and mascot is £1k.

[@spitfires1979]

This is a strange show. I don’t know why they lie about this pretend business being their new job - the total profits made after the entire series from sales would be about £14 each. The bodging and the short-cuts are a bit scary and the standards of finish are really low. I’ll watch anything about old cars but in my opinion, they could cut the tired and over-used format of having a fake time limit, fake stress and a fake need for profit, and just work on cars without cutting every corner and bodging everything before flogging it on Ebay for £72.50.

[@sarahrobinson410]

My guess is the number plate is worth almost as much as the car, if that guy takes parts of it why would he.. Its hardly a spares car and watching other car resto's it could have had more work done. I have an Astra Bertone 2.2 convertible this year I just want to get it cheaply mot ed and then over the year do a rolling restoration I only paid £350 and it came with a £700 quid private plate which at the time of purchase I was clueless about. But the guy selling tried playing the game by me getting it through mot and then gaining the number plate of the car. On the open market I see really nice well cared for Astra 2.2 and the smaller engine cars but on the odd occasion you see a very low mileage one owner for bigger money.. I have a few other convertibles and they need some work before they end up worse off.. Oh yeah also I've seen a cool looking 1954 Morris Minor just like the one my dad had and it is my dream to possibly purchase it.. however I've already treated myself to my 60th birthday present a 2001 Jaguar 4.0 in Burgundy Its in better condition than my previous 2000 Jaguar 3.2.. Keep up the interesting work..

A bit too nice of a car to dismantle though, but if some of the bits on it go for what its advertised, then i can see its worth more in bits.

[@andrewstones2921]

If you were planning to do a full restoration on one of these or any car that you don’t already own then it’s nearly always cheaper to find a better example that may be quite a bit more expensive as that will work out much cheaper in the end. It’s also entirely possible that it’s cheaper to just buy a nicely restored example rather than do it yourself..
