Which car was stolen from Wheeler Dealers?
The beloved Fiesta Mk1 was originally snatched by thieves outside a hotel in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, back in June 2023. It was taken just hours before Mike and co-host Marc Priestley were set to show off their restoration job for an episode of the show. In the video, posted on February 2, he said: “Thanks for all your messages, really appreciate it, just so you’re clear the Fiesta hasn’t been found. I’ve been asked that question for over a year now. If it had you’d be the first to know.
Why did Wheeler Dealers fall out?
According to Edd, his decision to leave Wheeler Dealers was due to the production company’s decision to ‘dumb down’ the very thing which made the show successful in the first place – in-depth coverage of the fixes performed on the cars in the workshop. Mike currently presents Wheeler Dealers, shown on the Discovery Channel, which over the last 10 years has become a global hit. He has also launched the only annual awards for used car dealers in the UK.Unlike most other car-themed television series, Wheeler Dealers doesn’t have any staged drama or scripted elements. It is this realness of the format and the two hosts which keeps it relatable to average people who may be interested in a classic car.
