Synopsis
Wheeler Dealers (2003), Season 5 is the British car-flipping show you can watch online on iFILM — twelve episodes of Mike Brewer hunting down rough classics and mechanic Edd China dragging them back to life.
The buying budget climbs to around five grand this time, and so does the gamble. Mike chases cars across Europe: a Mercedes 280SL, a Lotus Esprit with no MOT, a tiny Turin-bought Fiat 500 that still has to be hauled home, a workhorse Land Rover Series III, a French Citroën DS with cursed suspension, and a Bentley Mulsanne Turbo whose paintwork nearly breaks Edd. Every motor gets its own two-part story — buy, fix, sell.
What makes the season tick is the margin maths. One bad respray or a failed MOT can wipe out the whole profit, and you watch the boys sweat it. Best for anyone who likes engines, banter, and counting pennies at the sale. Stream Wheeler Dealers Season 5 online on iFILM.

S5·E1Mercedes Benz 280SL (Part 1)
Like all presenters of car shows, Mike Brewer and Edd China are never knowingly understated, but these guys do have real skills. Mike buys classic cars and Edd restores them, starting this week with a Mercedes SL. Detailed and fun and with a cameo by Jurgen the German, the only drawback is that it takes two instalments to tell the story of each car.
