Wheeler Dealers with all Edd and no Mike. Perfect.

[@huntedhunter5597]

I h8 mike too the umper lumpa sheett i swear he did Edd dirty in the end and this show was ed. Anyone can run around ripping people off being as cheeky as possible for camera that's not a skill. Edd could have found the cars paid fair money to the people then rebuilt them for a much much better TV show. Have the owners bring their car to inspection and fair price offered this TVR mate look i cant pay that now. Better TV show F mike.

hmmmmmmmmmmm....TVR chassis.....During a factory tour with the genuinely delightful Ben Samuelson ('Marketing') I spotted a load of finished units outside, untreated , in the rain... I commented saying that might make them vulnerable ....official line was that they are so thick they would never rust through....Ohhh, yyyyyyyyyyyy didnt they galvanize and add a few hundred to the price - such a fundamental item, and when u have a rust proof body, it was so obvious to get chassis right - great opportunity missed, thx to the accountants no doubt Great cars, great madly enthusiastic hard working team...a few easily rectifiable flaws Ben, if your name comes up in a link... Hi ! :) - I thoroughly enjoyed dinner with you and your fiance and desperately miss the factory and the great team under the charismatic, drole PW :)

[@leandro9311]

Good old Wheeler Dealers, dam i miss these older episodes. Watched it for 10 years in Portugal, amazing show and Edd work was amazing, Mike was important but i feel it let Edd down so many times by under selling the car and sometimes pretty much giving it away for free over so many episodes

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Ummm.. It's not real life or a commercial business Leandro... it's just a TV show for entertainment purposes only. If you were to truly calculate the labour at any workshop all these cars would incur a MASSIVE loss..

[@leandro9311]

@@CathodeRayNipplez I know its a show but the buying and selling the cars was not faked so they where legitimable businesses so i find it weird they would incur massive losses as they never spent that much in the restauration and repair and they boght mostly from private owners wich do prices below those of dealerships

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

@@leandro9311 Dude.. you are totally missing the point.. The cost of the car and it's resale is so irrelevant it doesn't even register in the budget costs.. Massive losses? What a couple of grand? The episode production costs are 100 fold whatever the stupid hunk o junk is on camera? Do have any idea how much one single episode costs to make?

My favourite episode ever. Is this car still alive?

[@felixcat9318]

That's one hell of a lot of work and outlay for replacement parts! Had the chassis originally been galvanised it would possibly still be intact rather than scrap!

That chassis looks like nothing else. It wouldn't corrode if it was aluminum. This is a Very cool car. Glad to see it now has a new lease on life. Thank you.

[@SocietyUnplugged]

Aluminium is more corrosive than steel, the chassis should be made of stainless steel.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I looked all over for the next part and could not locate it. I really wanted to see the TVR test drive. I question how the framework could have rotted like it did. Do they salt the roads in the UK? The powder coating should have saved it. If it's a known problem then the rubberized coatings used on American autos. I know nothing of this particular car but I liked the looks and design. I have seen a lot of midwest and east coast cars here in the states that have completely rotted out but it's due to the salt used on the roads during the winter.

[@Jagermonsta]

weird how this clip has popped up on KZbin once Ed left the show, yeah?

[@gixerloon]

I've always wanted a TVR, never did buy one though, now I'm glad I never did. TVR's are all hand built so not a cheap car to buy new, but watching this is makes me wonder just why didn't TVR make a better job of protecting the chassis to start with, by using a galvanised chassis then powder coating it, if need be, ok so that might have increased the purchase price of the car when new, but whats another £2000 on a £40 or 50k car.

[@McRocket]

1) I miss Edd on WD. Ant is fine - but Edd was King. 2) The car is gorgeous - I'd never seen one before I saw this episode - but such horrible rust protection for a relatively, recent car...especially a luxury one.

[@Mr_Bones.]

Yeah, beautiful car but that potential for rust makes it worthless. At the beginning I wanted one, towards the middle I was already thinking how much better any Japanese car would be. By the 8 minute mark, I was convinced to stick with Honda, Toyota, or Mazda for a sporty car. Nice looking car, but that chassis rust is an obvious manufacturer design flaw. Reinforcement paint and protection should’ve been added from the start in a country that has snow 🤦🏽‍♂️ it’s almost insane how it doesn’t have any protection

[@McRocket]

@@Mr_Bones. I agree 100% - felt the same sort of way at about the same, time frames. How frigging much could it POSSIBLY have cost them to make the frame, rust proof on the production line? An extra $15-20? Tops? Morons.

[@kirklancaster6346]

Where's the last part. Sale of vehicle, cost and profit??

[@oh8wingman]

I don't know why some manufacturers insist on using a plastic coating for corrosion control. To be blunt, it's worse than having nothing at all. If there is any breach in the coating at all, corrosion at that point will be accelerated due to electrolysis. The corrosion that would normally be even over the entire part now takes place at that one little breach or pinhole. The best method for corrosion control is raw steel with a good coating of used motor oil sprayed on once a year. The oil will help to slow the advance of corrosion and there will never be a spot where concentrated corrosion takes place. Smart manufacturers use a product called neotar for an under coating. Neotar is opaque black in colour and is a petroleum based product that can be easily renewed with a garden sprayer and then just leave it. Petroleum based undercoats don't work by sealing the metal but by acting as a water shed as the oil repels water. No water, no rust.

Why do you curtail the video without extending it to its natural end? This practice doesn’t exactly encourage consistent, faithful viewing of your channel’s content.

Would’ve been cool if the original chassis was sand blasted, repaired and powder coated again.. idk I like fixing over replacing 😀

[@brian_jake]

This was rusted AF

[@aaryeshg.6526]

Actually this chassis was fixed by a company that Mike showed. They take rusted TVR chassis and weld and fix them then galvanise it and powder coat it (in any colour you want). So I'd say technically they fixed it, just that someone else did it. 😄
