Ep 9. Mike's Favorite British Motors

Wheeler Dealers From The Vault season 1 episode 9 titled "Mike's Favorite British Motors" brings viewers on a ride to explore some of the most iconic British vehicles. In this episode, veteran car lover Mike is excited about showing the audience some of his favorite British Motors.

The show starts with Mike presenting a 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1. Along with Edd, the duo goes through the car's history and work should be done in restoring it to its former glory. The car comes with a 4.2-liter straight-six engine with 265hp and a top speed of 150mph. The exterior of the E-Type series is a timeless design, with its long sleek hood, and classic curved front ends, while the interior of the car was pretty much a metal tub with seats and a steering wheel, with almost the entire dashboard being an aluminum panel.

Next up is the legendary Aston Martin DB7. The 1995 Aston Martin DB7 is one of Mike's most loved cars. The car had the perfect mix of technology and styling whilst still retaining the traditional hand-built quality. This car came with a 3.2-liter supercharged engine producing 335bhp and went from 0-62mph in under six seconds. Edd starts by fixing the mechanical issues of the DB7 and Mike picks the perfect color and finish that goes with the car's elegant looks.

After restoring the car, Mike takes it for a spin and shares the experience of the DB7's iconic ride. He describes the car as a design masterpiece, with a balanced, flowing shape.

Mike's love for British Motors doesn't end there. He turns his attention to a less known but impressive car, the Jaguars XKR. The team sets about sourcing a 2001 Jaguar XKR, a mechanically sound car, but with significant cosmetic issues that need restoring. The car comes with a 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 370hp. The car's design incorporates the best features of the traditional coupe, with sleek lines and a contemporary feature in the rear spoiler.

Finally, the episode concludes with Mike's most prestigious British Motor, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. This classic car is a personal favorite of Mike and the team has to ensure that they uphold the car's legacy while restoring it. The car's design is impeccable with a long hood, pointed nose, and a massive chrome grill. The Rolls-Royce comes with a 6.75-liter V8 engine capable of producing 189hp. The duo takes on the task of restoring the car's power steering, perfecting the car's suspension, and maintaining the luxurious interior that is quintessential to it.

It is an enthralling episode that captivates audiences of all ages, providing an abundance of information about the cars' technical features.
