Wheeler Dealers

Two of the most iconic names in British motoring came together, with an all British engine by Lotus, to make one of the finest British roadsters: the 2-seated convertible Jensen Healey. Mike finds the perfect example to recondition with Ant's help.

The Mercedes 300 TD was the last Mercedes made in an era of no compromise at the brand. Mike finds an example that's even slower than expected so together with Ant they set about getting the best out of that diesel engine.

The Mazda RX7 is an 80s classic loved on both sides of the Atlantic. Mike finds a highly desirable 1985 MK1 model with less-than-desirable aftermarket add ons, suspension problems, and iffy rotary engine. Is it worth fixing?

There's nothing on the road more American than the truck. Mike locates a long wheelbase '71 Chevy C10 truck. It's in great condition, but Mike feels they could maximize their profit if they can make this truck more drivable and ramp up the performance.

Some might say it looks like the Porsche 911's ugly sibling but one thing's for sure, the 1970 VW Fastback type 3 has character. Mike finds one that's well-loved, but it suffers from some typical SoCal mods. Plus oil leaks, tatty interior, and rust.

How to get that 911 experience without the price tag? Mike has the answer: the Porsche 996. An amazing car, but one with a recurring problem that can lead to catastrophic engine failure. While Ant future proofs the car Mike adds some interior class.
