In the second season of "Wheeler Dealers," the dynamic duo of mechanic Edd China and car enthusiast Mike Brewer continue to find new and exciting cars to restore and sell. In episode 10, entitled "MG MGB GT (2)," the pair take on the challenge of restoring a classic British sports car, the MG MGB GT.
The MG MGB GT was first introduced in 1968 and quickly became popular with car enthusiasts for its classic British styling, powerful engine, and nimble handling. The GT variant, which featured a sleek fastback design, was particularly sought after and has since become a collector's item for many car enthusiasts.
As usual, Mike and Edd start by inspecting the car to determine what needs to be fixed and what can be salvaged. They discover that the car is in fairly good condition, but it does have some rust and paint damage that need to be addressed. Edd gets to work on the car, first by removing all the rust and then giving it a fresh coat of paint in the original color.
Next, Edd and Mike focus on the engine. The MG MGB GT is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces around 95 horsepower, but over the years, the engine has become worn and needs some tuning. Edd disassembles the engine, replacing worn parts, and tuning it to reach its maximum potential.
With the car looking and running like new, Mike takes it to a local car show to see how it measures up against the competition. The MG MGB GT attracts a lot of attention and Mike is approached by several potential buyers, but he's not quite ready to let this one go yet.
In the end, Mike and Edd decide to keep the MG MGB GT and add it to their own personal collection. The car has been brought back to its former glory and is a testament to the skill and dedication of both Mike and Edd.
"Wheeler Dealers" continues to be a favorite among car enthusiasts for its entertaining and informative approach to car restoration. In episode 10 of season 2, "MG MGB GT (2)," viewers are treated to another exciting restoration project and a glimpse into the world of classic British sports cars.
