Best thing about Mike Brewer and WD is that he showcases all these tiny workshops in the UK, where you can get anything repaired or made.

The UK is still a centre of engineering excellence.

Not sure how Brewer ever made a career out of selling cars. From watching many wheeler dealers, he’d buy shit boxes, Ed China would do all the graft, Brewer would turn up at the end, get offered half what he’d advertised the cars for. He’d then say “put your hand out” and shake on a deal making him 50 pence profit, which doesn’t include the cost of Ed China’s hard work. I don’t understand it.

Mike, Mike... You're only half-right on the 912E. It's a 1976 model year, not 74. The engine used was the 2-liter from the later 914, not the Bus. (Check the cylinder heads versus Bus heads.) The fuel injection was based on that used in the US-spec 1.8 liter 914, which did start in the 74 model year, but most of the FI parts are unique to the 912E. The 912E was made as a stop-gap entry-level car after the 914 was done, and before the 924 was introduced. The "E" stands for "Einspritz", which basically means "fuel injected".

I just recently told a guy at work about the time I drove my then brand new Rover Mini Cooper(RSP) one of the first 1000 re-released down to Brighton to have the "S" conversion pack fitter. 9hours from Glasgow with a 4 speed box was an adventure.

Likes to talk about how busy he is and how much he owns. I couldn't give less of a toss. Meet plenty of blokes like this. They don't spot you've glazed over or have nothing to say about it that they don't already tell themselves in the mirror.

The MGA is one of my dream cars every since I was in college, and a friend took me for a ride in one. Yours is one of the best I've seen. Love it.

Love the selection but mostly love the mini. I own a 65 Morris mini panel van. You are correct. The soul of a car is in the builders and restorers, drive and enjoy your cars.that is what they are built for

Somehow, I cannot shake the feeling Mike is gonna sell his mum if that meant "trading his way up"...

22:00 funny - I drive a Defender 110 and I find that instead of abuse, people are actually _extra_ polite to me on the roads. I am let out of junctions more regularly, people happily give way to let me pass, and quite often people will come up to me to talk about my Land Rover. I never get _any_ abuse in it. Now, when I drive me regular runabout car, that's a totally different experience on the roads.

I have the same experiences whenever I drive mine, which is actually the rather sad looking one on the show. My wife and I managed a 2,204-mile European tour over three weeks last summer. Mike very generously offered to store it and suggested a repair shop, after my wife and I ran into some issues with the immobilizer in western Scotland. Now that she's running properly again, ( the Landy, not the wife), we can address the neglected bodywork and respray, although Mike suggests leaving it as is. I bought it from my sister in Wicklow after my Brother in Law sadly passed on. So I have a feeling we are going 'all in' on properly restoring the td5 Landy.

Ed China was/is a straight honest bloke. Chalk and cheese. My mate a dealer, used to see Brewer as a colleague down at Blackbushe, in his words, Straight as a nine bob note. Brewer can now afford to be, a nice guy. Did you know, they`ve deleted the word, `gullible ` from the dictionary.

I loved the P1800 in WD and thought Mike had one, once. Shame not to be able to see a car he'd talked about in the show, but I guess it was a long time ago and we all move on at some point. Great episode, with real warmth and humour. 👏

I still can't warm to him, sorry. A ton of mistakes too, about cars he actually owns. His '84 'SC' that he mentions is actually a Carrera 3.2. His 912E isn't a '74, it's a '76, they were all '76. He's got some nice stuff, I should love him, I really should; he's a scooter boy, a poor boy made good, great taste in Porsches, but he just sets my teeth on edge. Maybe if he started pronouncing the letter 'L' I could try and make a new start with him

Excellent, too much negativity is written and said about Mike, however the reality is he’s worked had, done well and above all is still a TOTAL petrolhead.. and for me at least, that’s all we need to know!

I’ve just watched 90mins of Mike and Johnny back to to back. Great conversation, minimal contrived bull**it that is the usual case with KZfaq. Great work and Merry Christmas to you both!
