THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!

THE "WHEELER DEALERS" CROSS THE POND FOR THEIR FIRST EVER FULLY U.S. SERIES ON VELOCITY

-- Automotive Aces Mike and Edd Are California Dreamin' When WHEELER DEALERS Launches New Episodes on Velocity Wednesday, August 26 at 9 PM (ET/PT) --

(Silver Spring, Md.) - For more than a decade, WHEELER DEALERS' Mike Brewer and Edd China have found, fixed, flipped, tested and traded over 100 cars on the international market. But they've never set up shop in the most car crazy nation in the world: the good ol' U.S. of A. This August, the international hit and Velocity's highest rated series, WHEELER DEALERS, chases the American dream for the first time as Mike and Edd establish their shop in the most exciting and competitive car market in the world. From the sunny beaches of California to the coldest edges of Maine, the guys hunt coast-to-coast for the best vehicles to buy, restore, test and sell for a tidy profit. An all new season of WHEELER DEALERS premieres Wednesday, August 26 at 9 PM (ET/PT) on Velocity.

"WHEELER DEALERS has drawn a strong American cult following by giving viewers more than cool cars," said Robert Scanlon, General Manager, Velocity. "The series is an engaging 'how to' for buying, restoring and selling used cars delivered by two car people who are dynamic, experienced, passionate and talented. We're excited to share how Mike and Edd fare on their first American road trip."

Brewer and China are no strangers to the auto flipping game. Since 2003, the guys have traveled the globe for an international assortment of used cars with high profit potential. Each WHEELER DEALERS episode finds Mike hunting for a decent car at the right price - scouring classifieds, Internet auctions, specialist clubs and garages before brokering a deal. Then the car heads to the workshop where Edd casts his expert eye over Mike's find and conducts a fascinating, expert "how to" session for viewers as he makes repairs to the vehicle. When the repairs are complete, the duo road test the revamped ride before attempting to sell it for the highest profit possible.

In this all new season, WHEELER DEALERS moves their headquarters from London to a scenic shop nestled on the California coast. From here, Mike travels to the windy streets of Chicago, to tree-lined roads of Seattle and across California, seeking spectacular cars, negotiating bargains with tough customers, and in the process, meeting the most passionate car nuts in America. Edd has his hands full, too, tussling with mechanical problems he's only ever read about, and getting his hands dirty on cars he's never seen up close. Once the mechanical problems are overcome Mike and Edd road test each auto on picture-perfect California roadways and breathtaking desert landscapes.

New episodes of WHEELER DEALERS feature a fantastic range of American icons: a rare piece of all-American muscle - the Pontiac GTO; a 1950s U.S. staple - the Ford F1 pickup truck; a fabulous 1950s coupe with great styling and a Hemi under its hood - the DeSoto Firedome; perhaps one of America's biggest automotive flops - the AMC Pacer; and more much-loved cars.

WHEELER DEALERS is produced for Discovery Networks International and Velocity by Attaboy TV. For Discovery Networks International, the series is commissioned by Elizabeth McIntyre and executive produced by Tom Gorham. For Velocity, David Lee is vice president of production and Robert Scanlon is general manager. Andrew Shaw is executive producer for Attaboy TV.
