SUMMARY
One of the best known 'Wheeler Dealer' cars, having featured in the TV programme in 2005.
DESCRIPTION
- Initially exported to Hong Kong, it was in a sorry state when acquired by Mike Brewer, having been standing for four years and last MOT'd in 1998
- Believed to be a low-mileage car, but with little history, Edd China set about a thorough restoration including a full respray in its original Cocoa Brown
- Recognised as a Wheeler Dealer car many times in the last 17 years, it found its way to an enthusiastic owner in Ireland
- Mike bought the car back eventually for his private collection where it has since remained
- The 17 years since restoration have not been kind and it now suffers from alloy corrosion, likely from the inclement weather of the Emerald Isle
- Consequently Mike is offering the car personally, offered at No Reserve, so in order to own a piece of Wheeler Dealer history, direct from the man himself, simply 'Hold Up Yer Hand'
