Wheeler Dealers is the best of all those shows in my opinion. The selection of cars are not as appealing as Graveyard Cars but the show itself is better than any of them. There is NO soap opera fake drama and fully 75% of the show is the actual work being done on the cars.
One guy searches out and buys the car...could be from Europe, Asia, America or anywhere at all... and the other guy does all the repair work except what can't be done in the shop. He does an excellent job of explaining the work as well.
What they don't do in the shop is contracted out and most of that is shown as well. You get to see things like what happens in a re-chroming shop, brake re-lining shop, etc.
Once it's all done, the guy that bought the car meets a buyer and they strike a deal.
Undoubtedly, it's scripted but it's done very tastefully with NO drama, fake deadlines, etc.
I do like Graveyard Cars fairly well but I just don't like the fake drama.
