Will done Edd China. Definitely made the right decision to leave 😂😂😂
Not the same any more listen to brewer talking shit the second wing is just Garbage tit and the original wing does not create full down force till the car is running over 400 horse
he didnt buy the car back. he loaned it just for the programme and got it back for free
That's exactly what I thought when I watched the episode last year
Ford USA have made some great race cars over the years, the Mustang being an obvious one. But Ford UK and Ford Germany have made some fantastic cars too.
The Escorts out of Ford’s rally shop and the Ford Capris from Germany were amazing in their time plus of course the gorgeous RS200.
Long live the blue oval
Don’t forget the ford sierra RS500 cosworth the race car with the most wins out of any!
Wow, $20k for a service, set of wheels and a bit plastic.
Your looking at 70k british pounds, 80k US dollars for half decent one, so it's a good deal, and the turbo, gearbox, engine, cats were fixed.
@Paul Sykes No he's spot on, any fast ford with cosworth in the name are very desirable and can fetch huge amounts of money, up to millions of dollars for old race cars, and even production cars like the rs 200.
Cosworth are motorsports legends, cosworth built and designed engines backed by Ford have won every single championship in the game, from over 176 f1 races and many f1 titles, to indy car championships, and indy 500 titles, to nascar championships for ford and Chevrolet, they have won more or less every motorsports championship you can think off.
The Sierra Rs 500 race car is still the most successful race car in the whole of Motorsports, which dominated the world touring car championship world wide in every country and Rallies, the Aussies were getting 180mph out of their 2 litre rs 500 cosworths in their touring car series, that,s ridiculously fast for a 2 litre Saloon car from the mid 80's, the Sierra Rs 500 Cosworth road going production car can fetch up to 90 to 150k alone, and race spec version are worth ridiculous money

You've right about some of this, but £70K is just absurd, especially for a late-spec, small-turbo half-assed attempt like this one. Try half that and you'd be Lucky, especially with those wheels, ridiculous xr4i-hybrid-sandwich rear spoiler, and missing 2/3 of the front spoiler even! And that's just the bits you can plainly see are ruined...
@@henkverzeijl1525 It is absurd for normal 2.l turbo rally road car, you could get a Ferrari or Porsche for that money,
but the market for these cars has been driven up by people where money is no object,, and that dictates the value, there also rare about 500 to 1000 models were made in total, plus its the last car cosworth made with ford.
In europe you could most probably buy a similar car in the same condition for 50k euro's, but seeing though
there might only be 20 to 50 of them that are actually in the states, it drives the price up a lot more for the american market.
At the moment there's actually only one for sale in europe that i can find, and its going for £55k thats 65.630
euro's and $70k www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1153020
@@subconscious.com_usa6691
I call bullshit... Here's 25 of them already, all between 18K and 48K euro's...

It’s just not the same without Ed..
I agree, the show is dying
ED IS COOL
Ed was the show as for brewer was just fumes from Ed's exhaust pipe lol loved ed China in wheeler dealers but flathead brewer was diesel fumes cough cough 😥😥😥
So you miss a guy that always was complaining and had a lazy attitude when he had to fix the cars lol, edd always was crying before fixing anything lol.
I would say Ants doing a pretty good job making it his part now it's just people are so used to Edd China but overtime people will be saying he's (Ants) doing just a good of a job it just takes time for something different
I really would like to see the cars being fixed.
They can't show that anymore because ed has gone :( I can't watch it without ed he made it for me.
That's precisely what they did show though!
Ant took apart the turbo and fixed it. he took apart the engine and gearbox and fixed that too.
Ant's seems like a decent bloke and is very knowledgeable and watchable don't just dismiss him out of hand just because he's not Ed.
I was only talking about this clip. I didn't want to get into the whole Edd v. Ant v. Mike discussion.
That´s because this is only considered as a "teaser". You will need to watch the whole episode in order to see everything ;)
bullwhip johnson pppp
Lovely car but these shows are getting farcical, I can see why Edd left. The new boy spends most of the time posing for the camera. The 2nd hand car salesman is clear eating himself into an early grave and sweating like crazy. This is another lazily produced episode, they found an owner who's willing to let their car be used for filming. The only requirement is that they pretend to sell and then buy it back.
Shame this used to be a very good show.
Yeah totally agree I hate these episodes where the owner "buys" the car back, just like the orange s2000 episode
FAKE
McT740052 - They also did the same with the RX7
They ruined that RX7 too
The worst part was the vinyl wrap, but would have been removed by the production company after filming if the owner didn't like it.
Except they actually bought and sold the s2000, it was never lent for filming. There is a build thread for the car somewhere I seem to remember and the owner said he bought it off the guy who sold it to wheeler dealers and much much more was done than on camera.
Sells an original nice cosworth for £30k buys it back with a shit 3 tier spoiler for £50k 🤔 interesting
The Mechanic double whale tails arent original
#LONGLIVESTEELO whale tail was standard on the escort
totally not discovery logic...
The American logic 😂😂
PotGinsters was just a single whaletail on the mk5, not the double like on this one
That 3rd wing broke my heart! As soon as I’d got that back it would be taken off!
Why?! The original designer of the car designed it with the 3rd wing and FORD's finance officers cut it out to save money in production. The car was always meant to have it.
Are you out of your minds to blast music right when he starts that Cosworth engine, and keep blasting all the while he's driving? Do you understand your audience even, that we are watching this to hear the engine??? GET FIRED.
Bro, it has an Inline 4 engine. It doesn't sound good.
Some of the comments appear to be from people who sound like they haven't watched the episode. Mike explains that customised cars are popular in the market they're selling (the U.S). Its unlikely there are any ruined MkV Escorts over in the states with rust, bits missing or needing what we might consider the ''normal'' WD type repairs, so with this example they've obviously thought of an entertaining way to 'transform' the car and the net result ties in with the custom/US market angle and it was also fascinating to meet the designer and learn about the 3rd wing, which if you watch the episode actually increased downforce. I think as an opener it was a great showcase for Ant and his skills and for the U.K audience it was a great episode with a familiar popular car! I thought Ant was better on camera than Edd, I love Edd but didn't feel like they've scrapped all the hands on bits? The owner buying back bit was maybe a bit made up who knows, thats only a very small part of the show right at the end anyway.
Oh my god, what have you done!
Lol, I actually like that big ass spoiler! It was the main reason it attracted my attention as a lil kid in like ‘97 when I saw it cruising by!
he could have done that himself for 8K and saved 12K. this show has to be fake
Awesome car, I wish Ford would've brought this to America. This was my dream car growing up.
It's a shame they don't do wheeler dealers anymore.
ed would never put that second spoiler more down force my arse
The 3rd spoiler was a spoiler 🤢
Wheel's a Turbo rebuild and oil leak fix......$20'000?
Mike was never the Charm of Wheeler dealer's
The only thing getting Down force is the look with that Abortion of an optional extra.
Whoever decided to put the 3rd wing on needs to be birched
The car was supposed to come with the triple wing! In the end they went with the Whale Tail design.
you mean Guillotined...
No they should be castrated 😂
Stuart Gibson I almost spat my tonsils out when I read your comment... fucking hilarious!
I think it makes it waaay more special
I friggin love this car, this video had me smiling from ear to ear
Looks super good the blue paint and all together
All good things, must come to an end. R.I.P Wheeler Dealers, this show will never be the same again.

Will you be putting full episodes up for purchase like before?
Beautiful story!
All boys in my Grammar school spoke about was Cosworths. Best car ever made 😎we would compare how many we saw each day. It is awesome
RIP WHEELER DEALER'S YOU WILL BE MISSED
Great episode, looking forward to more!
Jep! And You certainly like to take shit from the street DIRECTLY with Your mouth :) What the fuck? I would strongly advise the miserable sales guy to stop with way too many alcohol!
My favourite car of all time the escort RS cosworth to pick up a really clean original spec fully serviced escort cossie is about £25-30k now and the mark 1 escort RS turbo still costs up to £10k if in mint condition and fully original and fully serviced my two favourite fords of all the time i do like the Sierra RS 500 cosworth aswell big bucks for one of them aswell i had an F Reg Renault 5 GT Turbo in metallic grey when i was 21 it was stunning very rapid i part exchanged it for a vaxuhall K Reg Cavalier Sri 2.0L16v in green but it was stolen and burnt out so i give up on my sporty cars my mrs has a fiesta ST in blue i have a transit connect for work lol
I knew of these and wanted one of these back in the day, but unfortunately they were not available here in the USA! You can import them now!
never seen a escort rs until i watched this show and believe me how shocked i was to have one show up the next day at my work "a ford dealer" and nobody i worked with had any idea of it's value long story short the guy driving it came in to buy a mustang and was not trading it in. before he left i asked him what he wanted for his 95 rs and he said $40k so i took a few pictures of it and posted it on craigslist and within a day i had a guy from the west coast calling me. quickest and easiest flip putting $$$ in my pocket for posting someone else's car thanks wheeler dealer's...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you a little ‘Mike jnr’ salesman 😂
Barryboys are calling you mike and edd, sorry ant lol🐴
Nice escort wish I had one!👍
Dosent sound like he's fixed the lack of power to me, still sound down on power and struggling to rev. But then again he did check the vacuum hose.
My nephew has a 1994 one of these in Australia. it is an ex Sainz car. very nice too.
Excelente trabajo
Very Beautiful car, me n my baby bro loved this show, so entertaining, haha I have an uncle just like Mike, he can sell ice to an eskimo 🤣🤣🤣 True wheeler Dealers👍
My favoriete car and episode.
Wow I was waiting for the part where they actually repaired the car, they totally skipped it.
My dream car I was lucky to drive one when I was younger,my bosses car from new looked amazing in the purpley blue.then he had it tuned by sue Colin’s engineering again amazing 350 bhp like a missile loved the car miss it would love to own,you never know maybe one day thanks again great to watch 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌😍
Very cool car, would of been great if they had put Repsol rally livery on it.
How can i find the full episodes
I'll be honest I love the wheels but that mid spoiler is horrid
David mcgloan yeah rice
It’s stock and iconic you cock.
@@CryMoar_ not the middle one it isn't.
Always loved that spoiler since I was a kid and still do. Gives the car character
Cool rally car!
4:48
LOL RISITAS!!!
Absolutely fucked it 😐
Dave H he always does look at the rx7 that he did he fucked up that aswell i think he has some piss poor taste in modifications
Dave H the third spoiler messes up the clean lines of this car.
It's not only boys who dream about the RS Cosworth. there are a few of us girls who want an Escort Cosworth RS in our garage. The bi-plane spoiler makes it extra cool.
Them boys just got money like that
The new Ed China, it's the guy off our UK TV show CAR S. O. S
That spoiler has fucked it right up *edit* at least it now matches Mike’s chins 😂
Mike stop taking the magic mushrooms
so they do ondemand repairs now, can I send my seat leon? it needs a new distribution kit
Oh my lord a LHD Escort RS Cosworth. What I would do for this car! Especially LHD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite like the 3rd wing tbh.
I like it when they walk into another garage and supposedly meet for the first time. Didn't they wonder what the film crew was doing in there. Lol. Show needs a revamp. Who agrees?
I found episode interesting. Car looked great ant looks like it will work. ant explained turbo great detail but he said i will give engine thorough overhaul but we didnt get to see this. I understand that ant is under guidelines on workshop airtime but it does ruin show as i interested in mechanical side
Carro show,meu sonho.😍
Tenho um XR3 2.0 1995,meu xodó.
he bought it back so basically this is pimp my ride
Holly molly!!!! what a fuc.....nice work
😂 bodged his car up and charged him 20k for the privilege lol
So....Brewer basically did a full service and some mods for 20g!
The double whale is terrible but the man who was the origional designer is now the lead designer for McLaren. At the time he opted for the double wing as it creates great down force but I ford opted out and went for the nicer looking wing
I miss edd
Fantastic the best 😍
The American is incredibly polite.
I prefer the stock look
New wheels and tyres reassembled turbo and new seals and a extra spoiler had just cost him 20k to buy back thats a rip off.
Total set up! seen it all b4 on wheeler dealers, rebuy your car for an over inflated price, wtf. 3 wings get a grip ! Ed must be pissing himself after seeing this .
Lol i wouldnt be so sure about that did you see the rx7 they did? Edd was a great mechanic but his taste was holy shit... bad
jinx20001
Lol the snake skin one ? Yes agreed that was indeed horrendous.
I would prefer one of those right hand drive
Mike doesn't know what he's talking about, the "whale tail" tail was not necessary, thats why it was optional! Also in some markets the Cosworth could not be sold with it fitted so they only got the small lip spoiler in some countries. Adding that aftermarket spoiler was pointless...just adds more drag and ruins rear visibility!
I didn't say it didn't produce any downforce, just that it was not "necessary"...contrary to what motormouth Mike said. Hence why it was optional equipment as part of the "aero pack". Any rear downforce the car "needed" came from the lip on the bootlid. Whatever the wing gave was supplementary. The front bib on the other hand, yes that was strictly functional and hence factory fitted to all models.
500 quid revamp n 20k profit,mike ur a legend
They look like Laurel and Hardy driving along together. Never noticed it before.
Think mike has been watching pawn stars
That's a dear repair bill, $20k for a ruined cosworth
Refurbished wheels, repaired turbo...Really! Seen it all before wheeler dealers.
this is actually was a really great show I remember when mike and ed first came out and aired on speed ch in 2006 if you don't like it make your own TV show simple stop hating
That's worth every penny.
Even the steeringwheel is on the correct side this time!
Lol
The tool that installed that 3rd wing would think nothing of installing some goodmans on the parcel shelf, hopefully the owner converts it back, Jeremy Clarkson was quoted £19000 to insure one in the 90's.
Personally I think a lot of you are wrong,I thought the 3rd spoiler looks ace.
One off and given the fact it was the original design then it can only make it worth more money the longer time goes on.
I love Edd but you have to give the new lad credit.
It's big shoes to fill so it's never going to be easy.
I have now read over ten comments in which were false information, so I have to make something clear. I know this car very well (I own two of them) and can give you much more correct informations. I make it short. This car was engineered in England, from Ford Motorsport and Fords own former department SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) which made the rally cars among other things at that time. The body was build from Karmann in Rheine, Germany near Osnabrück in a small factory building, and it was totaly handbuilt. Now to the spoiler. The two spoiler setup was tuned in over 200 hours of detailed work in the windtunnel at Fords factory in cologne, germany. The decisive factor is the distance between the two spoilers. If you put the third in the middle (in this setup) its unhelpful. In this setting it hat 45 newton downforce at the front (with the original two spoilers and two splitters on the front bumber), and 190 newton at the back at 180 km/h. So this was the first production car with downforce on the front and the back at high speed. And it has nothing to do with the design of the car. It was only for racing. When they did two wings cause of cost reasons, why has the group a rally car, which cost around 150.000 Euros at that time, exactly the same wings? Questions?
MY DREAM CAR !!!!
Sold out ed mike
Old show was well better, not feeling any desire to watch it again.
Yep without Ed its not the same
I literally fell asleep during the turbo section.
This doesn’t pass the smell test, love the British accent
This is like finding a Cadillac in Ireland
I was shocked when he said $30k then I saw the video was 5 years old. That would be $100k now! Wow.
Isn't that the D News logo?
that wing would be doing nothing at the speed they are travelling
Fucked it up with the white wheels
Not the same without Mr China 👎
ok folks ....do i see double .....but on the back of the ...there is a double whale wing :D holly shit .....newer seen this be4 :D
Absolute legend of a Ford.
I would leave the proper alloys on it though as these cars of an age need to look standard.
I remember when a minter was £18k but I bought my first house instead 😞 Regret.
I just watched this episode on Quest
No Edd China - No Wheeler Dealers
I would love on off these,i will add it to my virtual collection.I can completely understand why he bought it back,after he sold it he must have been gutted.Love has no price.
Sold him the car back 50g man got wripped off. Man could hav jus spent a grand on it ta fix the problem lol
smart modz he'll be laughing within a few years when it's worth more then what he payed for it
he said you can repair the turbo your self but then he had to get the turbo balanced by somebody. so its not a diy job and that rear wing how could they do that to a cosworth
Definitely not the same without Mr China , come back ed & show em how it's done
Whats the jackananory?
Whos the cream puff in passenger seat?
