Just seen in the local news that Edd is turning on the lights in Marlow, which is a small town a couple of miles from where I am. I think the early shows were filmed around Marlow as I recognised a lot of the roads they drove the cars on.

I think the two earliest workshops are both marked on Wikimapia, as I recall, they are both in your neck of the woods.

Glad someone found this video again. I've never been Mike Brewer's biggest fan, but that's basically being a proper **** towards Edd. Brewer's the worst going!
However, I have watched the latest Wheeler Dealers, because different mechanic, principles of putting cars together are the same. I just have to endure Mike's stupid garbage talk when he goes to get parts.

I always thougt Bull Brewer may be ok in person, but after hearing this I have no desire to find out...
It's obvious he was only ever into cars for the £££ not the love of them.....Once a dealer always a dealer
First workshop was in Bracknell, annoyingly when I found this out Edd had moved. Also, many years ago, Discovery used to list each company they used for the work done on each car (at the time it was Series 4-series 9). Once the Americans had taken over, relocated Wheeler Dealers & revised the website, all was gone. There was a firm in Sandhurst (local to me) that did the paint spraying on a Jag, but the Discovery website had removed it when I went back to it for reference

I found the second workshop used, in a workshop on a farm near Marlow (the cross in the centre of the screen).
Search for "Wheeler Dealers" in Wikimapia where you can zoom in further to see the exact location.

Yes, it's at Hurley which is just behind Bisham Abbey where many England sports teams train. Lovely area just down by the Thames and about 5 miles from me.
Edd is from Maidenhead I believe which is where his Comfy Banana company was based which made motorised road legal sheds and sofas etc

I glad I found it too! I wasn't really looking for it, it was one of Youtube's "recommended for you" videos that are usually totally crap. Like Andy, I always thought that MB would basically be an alright bloke and he was just acting like an arrogant tit for his character in the show. Looks like I might have been wrong.
