Synopsis
Wheeler Dealers (2003), Season 17 is the car-flipping reality show you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes of buying, fixing and selling classics for profit. Mike Brewer hunts the metal; the mechanics do the magic.
This run lines up six very different builds. A 2000 Porsche 911 and its odd-looking cousin, a 1970 VW Fastback. A long-wheelbase 1971 Chevrolet C10 truck that Mike wants made more drivable, and a 1985 Mazda RX7 whose rotary engine refuses to behave. The 1985 Mercedes 300 TD turns out slower than anyone hoped, while a 1974 Jensen Healey roadster needs its suspension torn down — sending Mike back to the UK for parts. Marc 'Elvis' Priestley and Ant Anstead handle the spanners this time.
Same honest formula, no shortcuts on screen. If you like restorations shown warts and all, these all episodes deliver. Stream Wheeler Dealers Season 17 online on iFILM.
6 episodes
S17·E12000 Porsche 911
Car dealer Mike Brewer is back in the UK. Along with ace mechanic Marc 'Elvis' Priestley, he's on a mission to find and restore iconic cars to sell for a profit.
S17·E21970 VW Fastback
Some might say it looks like the Porsche 911's ugly sibling but one thing's for sure, the 1970 VW Fastback type 3 has character. Mike finds one that's well-loved, but it suffers from some typical SoCal mods. Plus oil leaks, tatty interior, and rust.
S17·E31971 Chevrolet C10 Truck
There's nothing on the road more American than the truck. Mike locates a long wheelbase '71 Chevy C10 truck. It's in great condition, but Mike feels they could maximize their profit if they can make this truck more drivable and ramp up the performance.
S17·E41985 Mazda RX7
The Mazda RX7 is an 80s classic loved on both sides of the Atlantic. Mike finds a highly desirable 1985 MK1 model with less-than-desirable aftermarket add ons, suspension problems, and iffy rotary engine. Is it worth fixing?
S17·E51985 Mercedes 300 TD
The Mercedes 300 TD was the last Mercedes made in an era of no compromise at the brand. Mike finds an example that's even slower than expected so together with Ant they set about getting the best out of that diesel engine.
S17·E61974 Jensen Healey
Mike finds a two-seat convertible roadster for Ant to recondition. With suspension in need of an overhaul and a tatty exhaust, Mike returns to the UK for parts.
