This episode still makes me grind my teeth all these years later....as a capri fan since i was a kid . Because of the wing respray😬😬😬😬😆
Edd looks so young! The Capri was a pretty neat car.
Edd does look young here. He is like aged wine, his shows and looks become better with age 😊
People don't seem to realize or they forget. This is a pretty old show. This came out 20 years ago. I was in the 8th grade. Time flies.
@@spineshivers Edd was 32 at the time. He looked more like a 25 yr old uni student
Fixing a car like this will be amazing to see
I do love a Ford Capri, I'm surprised how cheap it was! I wasn't even born when this first came out in 2003 lol!
Neither was I, but I own one myself now
Lol 😂 I can remember when this first aired on tv at 12 years old how time flies.
@@markellis4229 you must be ancient🤣🤣
the days of a 400 quid capri!
i paid over 10 times that 3 years a go for my 1.6 laser .
I always remember walking past the used car lot in Guildford back in 1988 and the same Capri was up front it was just the best looking sat nicely had to have it never had any problems with the car..loved it..
Classic Ed, Old school mechanic ! as was his successor Ant on another Capri. Classic Wheeler dealers footage,
Young Edd is so cute. Like a mini me of current Edd. Love his work 👍
I worked at a ford dealer for 10 years in the parts department. These pinto engines didn't come with manifold gaskets from the factory. Metal to metal.
Aha i was already thinking that the previous owner of my jps never changed them, thanks for the info
Good to see these early WD episodes. Not fussed on Ed's YT channel as it's very drawn out to watch, over half hour to show him replacing a pipe or something.
'Mole Grips' on a suspension joint????
Has Ed been flogging the contents of his Snap On Wheelie out the back door? 😆
My "Late Father" like "Mike Brewer" sold these Old Cars from 1970 till 1988. He was Chief
Salesperson, even before that in the mid 1960's, because He. like Mike, had the "Gift of The
Gab" or in Layman's Terms, could sell snow to Eskimos. I worked for him from 75 to 84.
And I must admit, I hated most of what the British Companies were putting out at the time.
Austin All-Aggro's, Boris Mairna's, even the Austin Princess which was anything but beautiful.
I did, However, Love the Rover SD1 in both 2.5 litre and the 3.5 Litre favoured by the Police
at the time. I also include the "Let's Pretend Mustang" Ford Capri, and even the MK3 Cortina
for its "Coke Bottle" styling, incidently, this was styled by a "Yank" from Detroit Michigan. A
Guy who worked for them at the time. But I Loved all the Yank Muscle Cars, when we were
at an Auction, the Mach 1's, Chevy Camaro's, Corvettes, even the 70's Trans Ams of the Burt
Reynold's "Smokey & the Bandit" series.
I love this episode even though I know how it ends 😭
WD40 isn't penetrating fluid,it's a water dispersant.👍
Must be a very early episode. Edd is not yet wearing his trademark orange gloves.
Series one wheeler dealers is still my favourite. all Basic cars you can work on
You’re self no computer or scan tools just good old fashioned socket set . and bit of Ed Basic knowledge how to do this and that with cars.
Bodge job 90s, that just needed a load more lacquer and wet and dry sand then compound and polish as it was flat. Paint is flat without lacquer.
Ed is 12 years old in this episode.
No
He Is thirty in this part.
@@zoltansimorka91
Really??
He isn't actually 12 years old??
How can you possibly figure that out??
Amazing. You are sooo smart 👍
@@zoltansimorka91
Really? That's incredible. No way. Fantastic observation skills. You should be King of the world 👍
R/wooosh......😅
I'm sure I read somewhere that a producer on the show stepped in to pose as a buyer as they couldn't sell the car.
The same on the 205 GTI as that turned out to be a nail. I remember seeing loads of smoke billowing out on a test drive and tried to pass it off as a broken gear linkage. I bet the engine was changed off screen
And the woman who bought it (not really) was from the tv crew.
That’s an old one.. Capri’s are all up around 10k now.. would love to see a mk1 revamped by Edd and Mike.
Ant did one up a few years back, definitely not as cool as Edd but it is what it is
@@Tiffany.1970meh, what’s in a name?
When was this filmed?
Use to have 1972 capri orange color 4 speed .I raced some one driving GTO .l beat him by a decent distant ...strong car and fast German made car. driving up hill all cars driving 25 to 35 miles per hour,I was driving full speed in this car going up hill
The Capri didn't last long after Edd fixed it. It was probably worse than they thought or it's new owner neglected it. The lady who bought the blue MX-5 didn't look after it.
Wife likes the show
Knight rider. 😎
yep. it's a Capri for me
This is the one that Ed sprayed the wings with rattle cans! Looked bloody awful! Poor Mike had a job on his hands selling it!
Yes it was dreadful. And he used poor cheapo dodgy fit new wings.
This was made when you could get an old Capri at cheap prices when they were considered out of date and irrelevant , how times have changed.
@@glpilpi6209 Time and money i'm afraid. The producers probably knew it was a complete Lemon and would lose money selling it
I drove a '74 2600....or was it a 28?🤔
Why have
(Wheeler Dealers)
NEVER had opel monza gse 1983-1986 with the digital instrument panel / dashboard
Hard to find a decent one that's not over priced?
The bodge on the wings was horrendous
The car only lasted until 2003.
Yes none of the series 1 Wheeler Dealers cars are still taxed on the road sadly!
was crush or something?
I think probably the scrapping car scheme that was done in late 2000s has something to do with it.
People traded their perfectly running cars for new cars at a discount. Obviously these classics would get crushed then....
Seems the car never made it back on the road taxed since 2003 the same year as the episode was aired. Shallow life of a rusty old capri
ED, best ever in WD original days.
Sorry but they did a shoddy job with this. Low budget etc. They didn't do it justice
If I had a £1 for anybody asking me if my Capri is the wheeler Dealer Capri 🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜
so you still have to take the wheels of
The car never made it to 2005 according to MOT history
It was never sold this was faked for TV - car was scapped by WD team!
😂😂 £400. Add a 0 onto that figure now at least.
First view hehehe ☺️
This was the most laughable. The paint job was a disaster .....it was laughable. The early days - look where you are now
Not Edd's fault he's not a professional and the producers knew they wouldn't make money on it
@@jaggass eh ?
@@bryanlogue8035 The Capri was worse than it looked and didn't last long afterwards.
