Ep 6. Bentley

In season 8 episode 6 of Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer and Edd China take on a classic Bentley. This episode begins with Mike and Edd discussing how they want to upgrade their production workshop, moving from a small space in London to a larger location. Before they move, they want to finish their final project in the current garage. That project, as always, is a classic car in need of a makeover.

This episode's car is the 1950 Bentley MK VI, a classic luxury car that was popular in the post-war era. Mike purchased the Bentley for a good price, but it needs a lot of work. The car has been neglected and has not been driven for many years, leaving it with outdated technology and many mechanical problems.

The first step in the renovation process is to assess the damage and determine what needs to be fixed. Edd starts by disassembling the car and sending its parts to be sandblasted. Once the parts return, Edd begins the long process of restoring the car's engine. The engine is in very poor condition, so Edd has to piece it back together using a combination of used and new parts.

While Edd works on the engine, Mike turns his attention to the Bentley's exterior. The car's body has a lot of dents and scratches, so Mike decides to have it repainted. He also decides to give the car a fresh new look by adding some modern touches, like LED lights and a new exhaust system.

As the renovation progresses, the team runs into several setbacks. Edd discovers that the fuel tank is badly rusted and has to be replaced. He also finds that the car's hydraulic system is in very bad shape, so he has to overhaul that as well. Meanwhile, Mike has trouble finding the right color for the car's new paint job.

Despite these challenges, Mike and Edd persevere, using their knowledge and ingenuity to overcome each obstacle. The team works tirelessly for weeks, putting in long hours to bring the Bentley back to its former glory. Along the way, they learn a lot about the car's history and the challenges faced by engineers who worked on these luxury vehicles in the past.

In the end, the renovation is a complete success. The Bentley looks and runs like new, with a smooth engine and a stunning new paint job. Mike is thrilled with the car's new look and plans to sell it, but not before taking it for a spin around the block.

Overall, season 8 episode 6 of Wheeler Dealers is a must-watch for car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates old-school luxury. With its beautiful design and intricate mechanics, the 1950 Bentley MK VI is a true masterpiece of its time, and Mike and Edd's renovation is a testament to the car's enduring beauty and power.
