Wheeler Dealers Trading Up (2013)
Mike Brewer is the ultimate motoring wheeler dealer and now he is travelling the globe to prove his credentials. With just $3,000 in used notes in his back pocket, Mike's mission is to trade his way across the globe from a cheap runabout to a super car. It's the car trade journey of a lifetime - but one that's not just about car trading. It's also about car culture, as Mike explores the strange and crazy things different nations get up to on their wheels, as well as using the tricks of the trade he's picked up along the way in his long career.
