Wheeler Dealers

- Season 17

(2020)

Mike and Ant finally get their hands on the greatest British sports cars never to have been built in Britain, a 1969 Datsun Roadster. It's handsome, fun to drive and prone to breaking down. Ant handles the steering, brakes and an engine that sounds like a lawnmower, while Mike brings a tired old soft top back to life.

Mike brings back a modern classic, a rare 2001 Audi S4 Avant. This estate car would be the perfect blend of style and turbo-powered performance if Ant can fix a mysterious engine leak, systemic problems in the cabin and an unsightly dent in the rear.

Mike Brewer hunts down a Swedish classic, the 2001 Saab 9-3. He nabs a bargain, but can Ant Anstead work his magic to restore this vehicle to its former glory?

A 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has lots of horsepower and potentially daunting repair bills. Ant grapples with a number of issues, but all his hard work could be for naught if Mike has to replace the calipers for $5,000 rather than simply repair them.

Mike and Ant turn their attention to a rare 2004 MX-5 Mazdaspeed, the only turbocharged version of the car Americans know as a Miata. It drives like it's been strapped to a rocket, but it's noisy, leaky and desperately in need of some cosmetic TLC.

A 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade rolls into the workshop, but it's rusted out. Ant repairs the damage, while Mike revives its tired faux-denim stonewashed upholstery.

Mike discovers a true Japanese legend from the 1990s, the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. It comes with all the aftermarket kit that might be expected, which gets Ant thinking of upping the performance even more.

Mike decides to pay it forward and help out a young member of the team by fixing up his 4-liter V6 2007 Mustang. Ant and Mike soon find out that just because this young man works with cars doesn't mean he's taken all Mike's advice to heart.

To Ant's dismay, Mike buys a 1979 Triumph TR7, the wedge-shaped swan song of the venerable British sports car line; underneath its disco-era styling are some quirks, like a homemade air cleaner, bad wiring and soft shocks.

Mike and Ant welcome a zippy little 1974 Fiat X1/9 sports car to the workshop. There's hardly any rust, but big problems lurk behind the driver's seat.

The 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe is one of the best-driving cars on the road, and Mike's found an excellent example to bring back to the workshop. Ant will have to strengthen the subframe, delete the fan and repair the seats, while Mike takes care of the wheels.

Mike finds a classic 1964 Triumph TR4 in British racing green. It is rust-free, but it has been sitting for 20 years, and Ant has a big refurb job on his hands.

Mike has found one of the icons of the British car industry: a Land Rover Series III from 1976. It appears to have come straight from a safari, and it's up to Ant to tame this smoky, leaking beast while Mike mounts a roof rack.

Mike and Ant turn around a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 that's a high-horsepower veteran of the drag strip; all that power under the hood makes for a violent driving experience, so they must dial it back to a more useable street cruiser.

Mike and Ant welcome a 1968 International Harvester Travelall that's an ancestor of the modern SUV. It's the perfect vacation wagon; if only Ant can tackle a few engine leaks, a hole in the body, and an interior that's the wrong kind of vintage.

Before Mike and Ant can return home to the UK, they have to pack up the workshop and sort through the work of half a decade.
