Always liked the show tbh, just wish Mike would stop parking his a**e on the bonnets of cars, one of my pet hates.
Looking forward to the new series though, Ant is the kind of bloke i would like to work on my cars.

There was something in one of the classic car mags with him doing a yellow E type I think, like anybody can afford one of those now.

Maybe he wanted too much money or the programme makers didnt think there was enough demand? It could of course have been made and waiting to be shown when there are no other programs of a similar type on.

I think there is a short clip on youtube of Ed explaining why he left. From memory he said he didn't like the direction the show was going in. I think a new production firm were involved and didn't want long technical explanations and big technical jobs. Shame as Ed is a good engineer.

I liked the on screen relationship between him and Mike too. Ed owned a garage in Bracknell for a time but I think he's since sold this venture.

Are they staying out in the US, or are the cars being restored UK ones again?

I personally only enjoy the UK editions of Wheeler Dealers and won’t watch the newer USA-centric co-productions.

Does Discovery have catch up at all? Not watched since Ant took over, but might give it a go if I can watch the next day...
