Synopsis
Wheeler Dealers (2003), Season 19 is the restoration reality you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes of Mike Brewer buying cars with a story and Ant Anstead putting them right before the haggling begins.
The lean this time is toward modern classics and Japanese metal. Into the shop roll a 1969 Datsun Roadster, a rare 2001 Audi S4 Avant estate, and a 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen that borrows its name from the brand's aviation past. Then comes a 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with scary repair bills, the only turbocharged MX-5 — the Mazdaspeed Miata — and a half-rusted 1979 Jeep CJ-7 in its rare Levi's trim. Ant itches to make the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo, a nineties legend, go even harder.
The closer isn't a flip but a favour: Mike fixes up a young teammate's 2007 Mustang. If you lean toward nineties and 2000s cars over seventies chrome, this season is your lane. Stream Wheeler Dealers Season 19 online on iFILM.

S19·E1Datsun Is Shining
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. Ant handles the steering, brakes and an engine that sounds like a lawnmower, while Mike brings a tired old soft top back to life.
S19·E2Avant-ed Audi
Mike brings back a modern classic, a rare 2001 Audi S4 Avant. This estate car is the perfect blend of style and turbo-powered performance...or it would be if Ant can fix a mysterious engine leak, systemic problems in the cabin and an unsightly dent in the rear.
S19·E3Saab's Your Uncle
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.
S19·E4Cayenne You Dig It?
The 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is a performance SUV with 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.
S19·E5A Lotta Miata
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. The good news is it drives like it's been strapped to a rocket, the bad news is that it's noisy, leaky and desperately in need of some cosmetic TLC.

Jeepin' It Real
Mike and Ant welcome a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade to the workshop. With a V8 and a rare Levi's trim package, 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 the tired faux-denim stonewashed upholstery.
S19·E7Zed-Ex
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.
S19·E8This Horse Needs to Be Put Out of Its Misery
Mike decides to pay it forward and help out a young member of the team by fixing up his new car purchase, a 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.
