In order to celebrate doing their 100th car for the Wheeler Dealers show, hosts Mike Brewer and Ed China decided to stray a bit from their usual structure and try a very different car.
This time they didn’t go out and buy one, as it would have been far too expensive for the show’s budget, so what they’ve done is borrow one from a museum. The car in question is a 1903 Darracq, and this particular one had been sitting in the museum for “decades.”
The duo take it upon themselves to fix it up in time for the historic Londo to Brighton run. They do manage to get the car running and fix several issues that it had it time, but apparently 100+ year-old cars don’t take speedbumps too well…
The Wheelers Dealers show first aired in 2003 and now it’s reached its 12h season; the Darracq episode is the 13th of the 11th season and it aired last year in October.
