This is the 914 which Mike and Edd fix up for the forthcoming ‘Wheeler Dealer - Porsche 914 episode in series 10’

The photos show the 914 finished. The eagle eyed will notice, bits missing and that it's not quite as it should be ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) but does that really matter !

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i846.photobucket.com-11253-1323033894.1.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i846.photobucket.com-11253-1323033894.2.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i846.photobucket.com-11253-1323033894.3.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i846.photobucket.com-11253-1323033894.4.jpg)

The 914 was offered for sale here in the UK in a classified add on eBay for £8,250 ($12,750)

Have been informed by the TV show makers, that the 914 has now been sold and the buyer will be seen at the end of the show striking their deal with Mike.

We will have to wait till the episode is aired to find out how much Mike paid for the 914, what Edd and Mike spent fixing it up and how much they got when selling it on ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Looks like the car got a repaint ... but this migh only be a polish. They don't paint very often because it's so expensive ...
BTW ... I hate the mirrors.

I swear he keeps getting taller... and his hair is getting lighter and more whispy. I fully expect Big Bird to walk out of the garage on the next episode.

The 914 didn’t get a re-spray, just buffed with a few bits touched up.
They repainted the Targa Top; you will have to wait to see how they did that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Also don’t like the mirrors, they were the first thing I noticed, they just hit you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Shame Edd didn’t bin them and replace them with a pair of originals,
properly due to the unsightly holes drilled for the aftermarket ones being visible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) it was properly easier to leave them there!

Let's see if Mike can hang the tail out on the tarmac. Hopefully no dodgy bits come flying out the bottom.Edd could be a great model for Bosley.

Watching the Karmann Ghia episode right now and wondering when the 914 episode will air. Anybody know?

Does the new owner of the Wheeler Dealer 914 walk among us?

i think its episode 5 of the new season that starts tomorrow...here at least on Direct TV. at one episode a week, you do the math.

the impressive bit is how small a world the collector-car-world is and how impressive a forum this is to be this close to what is happening. good stuff. I spend a lot of time over at mgexperience.net and it is the same...the guy who publishes "classic motorsports" can be found there occasionally as well as the #1 MG expert in the US (john twist of university motors). cool deal that i've found two of the best forums...

Poor Ed, I have watched many of the shows and noticed that he is never paid a dime for his labor. They never include his labor, dmv fees, taxes, insurance costs and i am sure i am missing something. Cool show but accounting is way off. john




HAHA! As quirky as those guys seem to us (me) and how freakishly tall Ed is, i dig that show. I usually have to watch it twice so i can understand what they just said (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So was it on this week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Or do you mean the season starts this week and the 914 episode should be in week 5?

Fun show. I started watching Wheeler Dealer last month when I ran across a mini-marathon of episodes one weekend. The episode with the Bugeye (Frogeye to the Brits) Sprite was one of my favorites. Edd is so tall he didn't even try to take it for a test drive, letting Mike do the driving. The Lotus Elan episode was on last week, but I only saw the first 10 minutes. Bugeyes and Elans are among my favorites. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I love this show also.

You actually learn stuff and the hosts seem like real people.

sorry. what i'm reporting is how "Direct TV" shows it here...lots of cable systems and shows present things differently and its hard to tell what is what. now that you mention it, there were some things they said in the elan episode that seemed "out of time." oh, well, anyways whoever it was that asked: no, you've not missed the teener episode.
