Hi all,

I'm part of the production team for Wheeler Dealers. As part of the new series we're featuring a p38. For those of you not aware Wheeler Dealers is a program where we buy iconic cars, fix their faults and then sell them on for a profit.

At the beggining of the episode we always film a 'pristine version' of the featured vehicle. This is to show the viewer how good the vehicle can look and what we're trying to achieve by the end of the program.

As such we need an original as possible p38, preferably late 90s early 2000s to film that is in good condition. If you have such a car and want to have it featured on TV, please PM me with your availability over the next few weeks. We would only require you for half a day and would supply a DVD of the finished program after it’s aired as a memento.

Look forward to hearing from you.
 
I have a Series III, so I'm no help, but can I ask where its being filmed? I am a BA Hons Television Production student at the moment and would love to know more.
 
i think the show is poop and the cost ofd fixing up the car aint included when you say how much ya "made". Uninteresting works of fiction.
 
Big Ed has no chance with a P38

They break far quicker than you can fix them lol

Ed will be ready to retire by the time he sorts the electrics, never mind the air bags, oil leaks, naff heads, air con not working, shall I go on?

But for some sad reason, that I cannot explain, just like my other vehicles, .......


I still love it.

They won't "FIX" the faults, they will just chuck new parts at it. Leaking valve block? Fit a new one. No air pressure? New compressor. Clicking brake peddle? New Modulator etc etc.

Yeah Ed China comes across as a bolt on mechanic. But that maybe a dis-service to him, maybe he has to be for the programme. Think they try and depict what the average Joe could achieve. But it's not getting vehicles for the programme or what they do to them that worries me. It's where they find the numpties to pay what they get for some of the vehicles they sell. :cool::cool::cool:
 
Saw one last night, Jensen Interceptor. Never mind where they find the numptys to buy em, the Jensen was up for £6750 when Mike Brewer went to buy it, quick drive round, rotten floor.......he bid the guy £5000.

Now call me cynical but thats £1750 off the asking price and the seller went for it and asked 'no comebacks?'

Buy a car without T&T its sold as seen, spares or repairs ffs. Wish I could find a few of these chumps who can be chipped 25% off the asking price!!!!
