Default [TV] C4 on Wheeler Dealers HD Tv

short clip

Anyone see last nights episode of "Wheeler Dealers" ?
They did a show and found an 84 to fix up and resell. Sure was funny how excited the host got about the car having "206 bhp" Thought he was going to mess his pants !

As an OWNER of an '84, didn't mess my pants but creamed my jeans

Those two shows validated the '84.

Yeah, because some of the UK compliance lighting could never be done poorly by some eurochode. Aside from that, it must be that it's american, not that it's 20+ years old and clearly not mint.

Watching this episode of wheeler dealers made me want an early C4! I started looking for one but needed a loan to buy a nice one. The banks would only approve a loan for a newer car so I got my 95' (which I have wanted since I rode in one at 11 years old)..

I still want an early C4 though.. One day...

Seen this a few times. As an expat they made me cringe a few times, and the way they cut corners is almost laughable, but you've got to give them credit for enthusiasm!
Mike's a genuine car guy - he loves all kinds of motors, especially from the 80's.
