Yeah this is episode 129 which first aired 21 November 2016, in the final series to feature Edd China, who has his own series on TH-cam now. See: th-cam.com/users/TheEddChina (recommended)
The thing that gets me about this AMG heads upgrade ? they lighten the rockers and spring retainers, then fit heavier valves cancelling out any weight saving also the original cams were already AMG ( the standard ones don't have AMG stamped on the ends ) which they replace with aftermarket non-AMG camshafts saying that in reality the real AMG engines fitted to real AMG SECs had 4 camshaft heads.
Very Beautiful car, me n my baby bro loved this show, so entertaining, haha I have an uncle just like Mike, he can sell ice to an eskimo 🤣🤣🤣 True wheeler Dealers👍
Interessante que o Joias Sobre Rodas gracas a Edd China e Mike Brewer mostraram como transformar um Mercedes comum num AMG genérico e essa transformação que e feita na AMG que e uma subsidiaria da Mercedes
Every buyer usually tries to pay less than the seller wants and every seller always asks for more than they are actually expecting or hoping to get. One of my cars, I paid the asking price, because I felt it was worth it, while another was already ridiculously cheap, but because i was taking a risk with it, I low balled him and he accepted. So you just never really know until you are standing there trying to negotiate.
@@calibrazxr750 really? Captain obvious? If you actually watched the episode, the guy who bought it essentially got the car as a trade for him letting them use his amg body kit for the episode. He paid them less than a tenth of what the car’s worth. His stinginess is embarrassing.
Guys, Mike and China, I don't know what you did but the passenger door, especially the chrome trim(on the right side in this case) aligned better before you bought it then after restoration!🤦♂️🤦♂️😅😅
As much as I love Mercedes I'm with Ed on the pillarless coupes. What was the point in going to America if you're gonna do so many European, British, and Japanese cars? The odd one perhaps, in order to get them rust free, but all the gorgeous cars they had over there in the States. Goodness, America was full of pillarless coupes, they probably invented them.
the idea was, all of those parts together was basically impossible to find, so the price of the entire kit was whatever the buyer wanted to value them at. the 560 SEC AMG skyrocketed in value, I know this episode is very old, but a couple years ago there was a 560 AMG sold at auction in Japan for about 700k.
Wheeler Dealers no respect You write to them asking to see a past episode or pay access Couldn’t be bothered so for the record MB is a Fat Sausage , he’s a Toffy now
Got to be one of the best episodes. What an amazing transformation.
I love how the wife shook Mike's hand!!!
I love that episode. I sure do wish You and Ed would do another show together.
Discovered this show in 2007! Still love it!
So the mechanic is back , i just love that guy

Wheeler Dealers in the UK: "You've just bought yourself a cracking motor"
Wheeler Dealers in the US: "You've just bought yourself one hell of a car"
I used to do the gardening for Aufred here in Mallorca, he used to drive an old class A
This episode and the Lamborghini are my favorites
This one of the best of any show they ever did,
This was the greatest episode ever
Dude, Mike Brewer you're great.
No hard feelings , i just prefer him to the new guy
Agreed
The new guys did complain a hell of a lot less
One or my favourite cars of all time the finished product is beautiful no way was that couple going to leave it behind, well done Mike and ed 👏👍

Not all AMG SEC/SE"s had the m117 DOHC engine.There was also SOHC Amg engines were built. ;)
The haggling part tells a lot about the dynamics of this relationship.
Sweet. Damn 👍 excellent tribute

Our head!
Where is motorwork located please if u have any information
Good luck Mr Mike
It's really a fantastic upgrade and a beautifully-savage AMG. I'm envious, but I know materialism fades.
She knew that is a great deal.
Guy gives you a restored AMG and you talk him down $500 🤦

@@t7489 if it is so obvious, why did you comment as though it were not?
Rule 2 of negotiation. Never accept the first offer.
@@calibrazxr750because of common sense, genius.
Protect this Woman for all cost!
A true English gentleman. We love you, Mr. Mike. I feel happy when I watch. Thank you very much.
4:26 but this bigger diameter valve will be heavier
for that reason 4 valve was invaded
How much horsepower does it make with that upgrades?
My dream car

Fantastic deal he got. He literally paid for the parts to get put on it by Edd China.
The voodoo mind trick math gets them all the time.
2:24 dude this is how tall Edd is. Felt bad for the machine guy. If I ever met Edd in person I would feel small.
Dream ... Magic
Auto spettacolare, la Mercedes non fa più auto del genere.
Amazing car , my dream too. 😍
Coop - where are the chickens ?
Cool👍
I wonder f anyone knows where that cylinder head place is? Google is not your friend with a name like Motor Works etc
Somewhere in or near LA for sure.

It was so much better than the newer Episodes. Still love the Show but it has quite degraded in quality. Sorry Elvis..
Of course the “buyer” got a super deal - the parts didn’t cost him 15k, much less probably. But feel good deal!

@@MrPrajitura at 700k, that’s astronomical but I’m assuming that’s an original AMG with very low mileage.
@@davidmorais2394 yes, it was original, pre-merger AMG SEC.
@@MrPrajitura I’m also assuming there very few of these were ever made hence the price tag. Still, super expensive!
The homie is back! That other mechanic was wack
Cool
You spento much much more then an original one...😮
Mike's had a lot on his plate recently
Watching this series back you can see Ed losing interest in all episodes. That was the end of him and his relationship with Mike on WD
16k is nuts
+ the parts he had to pay for...
My car please
Thats one decision that a wife made that is correct !!!
We know who wears the pants in that relationship - no hesitation on her part at all.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Show was way better with edd china,sucks he left
W wife😢
I hate this episode......
Wheeler Dealers no respect
You write to them asking to see a past episode or pay access
