Content giant Discovery has announced a new spin-off commission from its successful motoring franchise Wheeler Dealers.

Produced by betty, the 8 x 60’ Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car is presented by motoring presenter Mike Brewer and aims to help car lovers trade-up their unwanted vehicles to the car of their dreams. Brewer turns his attention to people who lack the know-how or resources to get their dream motor. Each episode sees the presented and trusted mechanic Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestley meet a new client and find inventive ways to add value to their existing vehicle, before flipping it for a profit and reinvesting the proceeds in a series of trade-ups that result in a dream car.

“We’re delighted to welcome Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car to Discovery’s growing motoring line-up,” said Simon Downing, SVP, head of factual and sport, Discovery UK. “Wheeler Dealers is one of our most popular franchises with a huge fanbase around the world who are eager for more hours and new spin-offs. This show delivers all the smart deals and mechanical upgrades of Wheeler Dealers, with a new element where Mike ‘gives back’ to car lovers, helping them win the car of their dreams.”

Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car will air on Discovery Channel in a number of markets including the UK, Netherlands, South Africa and France; MotorTrend App and MotorTrend TV in the US and channels including DMAX Italy and Germany and Metro Poland across EMEA.
