Top bloke great video, can't wait for the follow ups. Its always good when you don't have to search out answers, like the Plato video, which I watch at least once a week, Mike can talk at length and with enthusiasm

What a brilliant episode, what a totally different guy mike is in reality, its certainly changed my opinion of him,what a throughly nice guy.

Great episode, genuinely didn’t realise Mike was such a petrol head outside of TV, I always thought he was more of a tv presenter. Fair play ! Thoroughly enjoyed this one 👍🏻

Brewer's enthusiasm and passion is infectious. Look up his history, achievements, awards and he's really quite a modest guy. Can't wait for the Idol Chat. Glad I don't have to edit it as Mike's story could go on for hours and hours.

I have to say that until now I have been unsure about Mike Brewer but thank you Jonny for showing me a different person. A brilliant vid and sincere thanks to both of you. More please from both of you, you make a great team.

Old out yerrraaaand! The Wheeler Dealer himself! So many fond memories watching Mike over the years, what a lovely car cave ep Jonny.

Could listen to Mike talk cars for hours. Him, Harris, and Metcalfe are so knowledgeable and engaging.

Really good episode. Love how Johnny actually listens to his guests not just waiting for them to finish and move on. Also i think with this show, not car people can maybe start to understand why we love and get attached to certain cars

Love to hear Mike talk about that Cooper S. If you've never driven an original mini you just need to to understand. They are proof that you don't need to drive fast to have fun. The most charactful cars ever made

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. We get told that we import everything from China but that is absolutely not the case and you don't have to go to the main dealers and get ripped off. The UK is still a centre of engineering excellence.

I've appreciated Brewer since day one... his enthusiasm and friendlyness has encouraged and entertained many.

Another unique and fascinating look behind the scenes. It makes sense that Mike Brewer would have some nice rides, and this video was a great walk-through. By far one of my favorite celebrity garage tours.

It’s only Mike bloody Brewer😮 Love that Mk1 traaansit! Fantastic episode Jonny 👏🥇

Great to see Mike geek out. Kudos to Mike's 2002 Limerick reg Defender. 🇮🇪

Two of the most likable and fun guys to watch in the motoring content space. Let’s see a Wheeler Dealer + LBS Garage find combo. Uncover, revive, flip!

Mike is just as passionate about cars as a lot of other people, however, the difference is, he has such an amazing attention to detail that highlights his dedication and pride which is something that’s sadly lost these days. I could listen to him for hours.

I recognise that Ford Raptor. Mike parked it behind the pitlane at Silverstone classic 2021, in one of the lanes made especially for the race cars to filter in and out to get to the pitlane. We couldn't get our car out for a while

my favourite car collection yet by far on this channel. amazing!! an early 928 is top of the tree for me. car of the year 1978.. the design still floors me

Hardest working man in automotive TV. Good luck to him. Nobody could begrudge him his success and the toys it brings to him. Well done Mike !

Mike's comments about the mini are absolutely bang on. Our (newer) 91 mini cooper is the only car that has ever made me laugh out loud, at the same time as my head bounced off the roof, due to the insane speed it was possible to carry through bends and on a bumpy road. My wife following, and unable to keep up in a modern saloon, literally couldn't believe her eyes. It's been off the road now for a decade but we can't part with it. As for that MGA, wow, absolutely beautiful and re-engineered properly too.

Mike is a top geezer, can’t say I’ve always agreed with him but the passion shines through and that’s all that matters. Nice garage Mike. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great video, loved seeing his collection. You can tell how much of a real car guy he is by this collection and how much he loves talking about them. I have seen him at a car show before and was a really nice chap and had all the time in the world to chat to people, he really deserves all his success and is top bloke.

This is the best knowledge you tube car video I’ve ever seen. My ears were on fire. Absolutely brilliant! I was glued

On the opening credits the shots of this garage reminded me on a 1/18 scale diorama scene , fantastic collection and Mike is a genuinely great guy, met him at Race retro 2023 and he was more than happy to stop for a chat, and a photo deserves all the success he has strived for and is receiving - that MGA is something else

Not a big fan of Mike Brewer, but I did enjoy it. I feel you brought the best out of him. Well done Jonny.

That was an awesome video, thanks Jonny and Mike. Seeing Mike in a totally different light, his passion and real "common man" approach is awesome.... yeah he has made money and is buying stuff which majority can't afford, but he keeping true to his roots!!

Great episode. I think Mike came across really well, can't wait for the idol chat. I not saying he doesn't in his own shows, but that's what they are... Shows. This just seemed more natural and real. Top work! Oh, and a great collection.

I think every petrol head on the planet has wanted to see Mike’s car collection, thanks for this Jonny can’t wait for pt 2

Never have been a big fan of Mr Brewer it's always, look at me and what I have, and if I stop talking I will ask about you !!!!!!!!!! Ed China different story altogether, down to earth sensible bloke and a top mechanic. Wheeler Dealer the series as far as I am concerned, finished when he left the show 👍👍

Love Mike Brewer. He’s just a genuine old school car enthusiast! It’s amazing to see, love the story about the MG. I reckon the old guy would be proper chuffed about what the cars like now. As for my favourite, it would have to be the red Porsche 911 3.0 SC.

I'm an American who is new to this channel, but I do watch a lot of car content from overseas, so I am well aware of Mike. But this video made me love him even more. Old out ya hand!

Brilliant - love MB been following him since his first ever show "Deals on Wheels"... also met him at the NEC in 2007 (?) when he picked me out of the audience, where I was exhibiting my AC ACE 2.6. What a genuinely wonderful humand being. Mike inspired me, such that I have owned and restored 26 classic cars and motorcyles - BIG THANKS MIKE! And thank you Johnny, you are also a fantastic presenter whom I follow - keep up the great show :-)

Great stories and great cars. That MGA is especially beautiful. I would love every single of the cars in the garage ("cathedral") but the MGA is pure class. And how about that colour! Amazing.

A well paced (casual and natural) chat with Mike. Great to see “some” of Mike’s vehicles. I know Mike has people that don’t like him, at least when hiding behind a keyboard, but I met him on Saturday at the CCA auction and chatted with him about a car for sale that had featured on the show (and I ultimately purchased) and he was very much a down to earth petrolhead that gave me his time. Good video.

Mike Brewer is just an absolute legend. A car person in its purest form.

Brilliant show and 2 fantastic car guys. really happy Mr. Brewer showed us. Good luck mike luv your tv to.

The sheer enthusiasm is pouring out with the pair of them. Loved that.

That was a very special interview, well done!! One of the things I liked about WD was Mike's visits to small niche workshops where things were being made like the visit to the factory reproducing Jensen panels using original tooling or where they were making the wooden structure for the Morris Minor Travellers. Of the cars on show I liked the little MG because of the story and the Rapster, in this case because my nephew has one and you are seriously high up in one of those Good luck from Spain!!

Brought a tear to my eye to see someone Do something like this in there life that we would all love to do glad it was you Mike thank so much mate

Ive watched wheelers since the early series and it is great to see the SERIOUS side of Mike. he is a font of knowledge and inspiration. Ive had 106 cars… or 107? One wife! Thanks

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'm genuinely surprised at some of Mike's cars, but I just LOVE that Transit. So much character.

MGA, I remember the very first one I saw in Germany, in 1963, when I was 13 years old. A GI had it in the building where we lived in a little German village. When it appeared, I looked it over closely and saw the little oval vents on the hood and the Twin Cam badge. Had to ask the owner what a twin cam was and he did answer but don't remember what he said. Always remembered that car though.

Mike Brewer shows more knowledge and charisma in the first ten minutes of this show than in the entire series of Wheeler Dealers. Redemption!

Great video as always, lovely to have a glimpse into Mike’s world after so many years watching him on WD. Hard to pick between the mini and the transit for me…

This is the best one yet. I know that Mike is fine with talking on camera etc but he was very different on how he spoke & described each car with such great passion. As another Mini fan-boy my favourite car has to be the lovely little Cooper S. Mini's still have such appeal. 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. Even more so as I got to meet thee "John Cooper" himself & have a little yarn.

I remember meeting Mike a few years ago at a car show in London, and despite all of his various presentations and appointments that day - he still took time and showed interest in some quick car chat. I think a lot of people tend to misunderstand him, seems a thoroughly good chap to me.

best episode ever mate - mike is a absolute legend! i had know idea how deep his love ran! what a guy😎👍

This is a fantastic episode 👏 🙌 I could listen to mikes stories all day long such a very wonderful and unique collection of cars and totally love the stories behind them all.

The best garage tour I have seen. Love to Mike Brewer

Excellent video . Mike seems very down to earth . Clearly passionate about his vehicles and so much knowledge. I could listen to him for hours 😂

I've always wondered what he was like in real life . He seems like a top guy and love the walk around his garage.

When he said he couldn't just take the car for free from the fellow in California and donated $10k to the guys charity of choice, then I knew Mike is a genuinely decent human. Good on ya Mr Brewer! Oh and please do that reunion show with Anton and Ed please. Cheers!

I could watch episodes like this all day.

Great vid as usual, Jonny. MB is very watchable in this format, when he’s modest and knowledgeable and not encouraged to play to the camera like he does on WD

Brewer has a nice smile but for me, all I can think of is that poor guy that he ripped off, giving him a grand for a boxster.

Mike's collection is heartwarming; some really interesting marques, each of which obviously means a lot to him. The Ford van, Mini and brown 928 had me drooling and look better for a bit of real-life dust! Great tour, thank you.

That was brilliant. I feel we all kind of know Mr. Brewer from his many television appearances. But this just showed a depth of knowledge and understanding of his subject that just doesn't come across on the progs that have him in there as the "Cockney geezer, dodgy dealer". Really lovely video.

I met Mike at a cars and coffee event at the Dowsetts Classic Cars workshop (business founded by Ant). Ant & Elvis were also there and I got a chance to speak to Mike after their chat to the crowd. What a great bloke - had time for everyone who wanted to talk to him and gave me some advice on the Alfa Giulia Veloce that I was considering (which I have since purchased). Seeing Mike leave the event in a cloud of dust as gave the red 911 a bootful on the gravel made my day!

Good to hear even Mike Brewer fears bringing another project home to his wife.

Great stuff. Love the collection. My first Porsche was an 87 928S4 10 years ago - cost an absolute fortune to maintain but found it hard to buy any other make after that, followed by 997 and now a Taycan CT4s. Used to drive a lot of early transits and crap minis back in the 80s with a clear view of the tarmac under the pedals. Fascinating discussion but could do with it being about 2 hrs longer! Thanks TLBS

Mike an amazing guy. While growing up in a small village in north of Pakistan back when I was in my teens, I bought a dish tv (which was too expensive for me at that point) only to watch his show. Thank you Mike for wheeler dealers

My dream car is also a Mk 1 mini Cooper, but I prefer the 1275. Great video as usual, i have always liked Mike, and now I have a friend who works with him, really good bloke by all accounts, which is always good to heard about TV people you admire!

What an episode. Please do a part 2 with everything he's hiding from Mrs B!

Drinking game: when you're listening to Mike Brewer; every time your brain shouts "PRICK!", take a slug. Brought to you from the Betty Ford Clinic.

Mike is still a salesman working every angle. Still funny how he says he "works" on his cars.

I've just watched this having seen an episode of Mike Brewers World of classic cars. So started digging a bit deeper. This video has put a whole new light on Mike Brewer for me. I thought he was just a loud mouthed 2nd hand motor deal done good. But this shows Mike as a caring knowledgeable enthusiast. Thank you for changing my opinion.

I'm not being funny but.... That 912e is a 1976 not 74. Wouldn't be the first time brewer has told a fib I don't suppose Nice tho.

No wonder Edd China did one, Mikey was taking all the loot 🤷‍♂️

As a classic mini owner its great to hear Mike's enthusiasm for his mini 😊

Fantastic video of Mike's cars. Wish we saw all of them though. Absolutely love watching wheeler dealers. Just love the passion for cars. I'm certainly the same

I don't understand why Mike Brewer gets so much hate on social media. The story of how he acquired the MGA alone is enough to appreciate he's both a genuine guy, and an enthusiast.

Brewer in his natural habitat is a joy to watch - he’s a really really enthusiastic about his cars and feels more genuine than the more scripted WD stuff! Really enjoyed this! And that 912 and the transit are beautiful! 🤩

I think the 912 is my favorite of the bunch. A truly enjoyable tour, cheers from Chicago!

After just watching this video and seeing how it SHOULD be done.... 2 blokes propper chattinh about cars and the motor world in general.... absolutely top work.... one talks the other listend and then thr other talks and Visa versa.... just pure brilliant.... we love johnny and mike anyway.... but this is just pure chemistry.... ❤ like the old topgear.... cars and the history of them.... thabk uou sooo much guys :):) xx pure brilliance.... :):)

Normally you've got more text Jonny :) But Mike is such an all-round nice, entertaining person, you've let him do most of the talking ;) Can't wait for the two(!) part interview!

Patreon only tour of the other garage(s) so Mrs B can't see? :) The world needs more Smith & Brewer.

Jonny, thanks for letting your interviewees talk. So many interviews are done by overzealous over-talkers that don't allow their conversation to flow naturally. You obviously are genuinely interested in the conversation which really shows. Keep up the excellent work!

I hope Mike won't take offense at this, but he's come across to genuinely nice here, much more than his wheeler dealer shows. Nice to see what I believe to be his real side here. Great garage and tour!

So many people talking about what a nice guy Mike is... Not sure Ed would agree with you.

It has to be said, I feel like we've seen a human side to Mike, this is a lovely episode I think. I must've caught him on a bad day for the Pirelli Rally in Carlisle many years ago, I think!

Mike is such a polarising character, but this video did really well to highlight why he is a LEGEND of TV. The spat with Ed didn't help the PR and I think quite unfairly at times, but he remains one of the most influential car guys on TV and in the media that the UK have ever seen. His sheer enthusiasm, knowledge and legendary story telling abilities mark him out as a man to be respected and enjoyed. He won't enjoy me saying this but he has become one of the elder statesmen of the automotive world and that is a position, that in my eyes, he should cherish. An absolutely top notch episode again Jonny ... even if you did ignore me on Insta when I tried to get last minute tickets to the Car Barn in Beamish the other night as you were local to me haha ;-)

That’s the unit from wheeler dealers 😢I do miss them so badly. Edd was amazing and I learnt so much from him ❤

The 912E was produced in 1976. not 1974.

Mike Brewer: Distancing himself as far away from poverty as possible!

Thanks a million for visiting Mike Brewer always admired his enthusiasm now even more.

Any chance you can do a video with somebody a bit more interesting, like Ed China?

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"...

I never realised how big headed he was

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.

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.

BS warning from 28:15 haha😂 any other new car could do that…

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. 👏

Nice one Jonny, have been a fan of Mike Brewer since his early days on tv! Nice bloke withe a nice collection of motors, nothing really exotic or outlandish but all damn nice! You’ve pulled it out of the bag again Jonny, looking forward to the Idol chat! Top job!👍😊👏👏👏👏❤️

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!
