Default New series of Wheeler Dealer starts tonight

Discovery channel @9pm

First car up is a mk1 XR2 which imo was the best looking XR2 of them all.

Let's see what Ed can do :-)

Like the price of those isn't inflated enough before they draw more attention to it!!

I'm looking forward to the Mazda RX7 episode! Doesn't say which RX7 they are doing though!

Nice tart-up job last night, I always wonder how long the paint lasts on these wheeler dealer cars - does it start bubbling through after year or two ? Interesting in a couple of areas like the short-shift and the gearbox rebuild (I'd have liked to see the putting it back together again though !)

I expect the paint to last as long as it's in their interest. They aren't going to spend days on a job when a 8 hour respray will suffice.

Then again, I am a cynical tw@t :-D
