  • Aug 31, 2020 45 min

    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.

  • Sep 7, 2020 45 min

    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.

  • Sep 14, 2020 45 min

    The name Saab might not always strike fear into the heart of the luxury performance crowd, but Mike gets his hands on something special, a 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen! A name inspired by Saab's aviation links, this really is a fighter jet on four wheels.

  • Sep 21, 2020 45 min

    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.

  • Sep 28, 2020 45 min

    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.

  • Oct 5, 2020 45 min

    Mike and Ant welcome a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade to the workshop. This car could fetch a bundle if it wasn't half rusted out. It's up to Ant to repair the damage, while Mike tries to bring new life to 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 you might expect, which gets Ant thinking of upping the performance even more...but Mike has the opposite in mind.

  • Oct 19, 2020 45 min

    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.

  • Jan 4, 2021 45 min

    Mike and Ant welcome to the workshop a 1974 Fiat X1/9, a zippy little mid-engine sports car with superb balance and a distinctive color. The good news is there's hardly any rust. The bad news is the engine-shaped can of worms behind the driver's seat.

  • Jan 11, 2021 45 min

    Any Englishman worth his salt would jump at the chance to buy a 1964 Triumph TR4 in British Racing Green. Mike's found one that's rust-free, but it's been sitting for 20 years. Ant has to refurbish the engine, repair some dents and upgrade the electrics.

  • Jan 18, 2021 45 min

    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.

  • Jan 25, 2021 45 min

    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.

  • Feb 1, 2021 45 min

    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.

  • Feb 8, 2021 45 min

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

  • Feb 15, 2021 45 min

    Mike's found an icon of British motoring, a 1976 Land Rover Series III that looks like it just came from a safari. Ant will have to tame this smoking, creaking, leaking beast, while Mike adds a bit of value to the car with a bespoke roof rack.

  • Feb 22, 2021 45 min

    Mike and Ant look back on five seasons, 72 cars, hundreds of jobs, thousands of man-hours and two TV icons. Before Wheeler Dealers can return home to the UK, they have to pack up the workshop and sort through the work of half a decade.
