Where is Wheeler Dealers filmed?

In the beginning years of Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer and Edd China had been touring most of Europe, in search of classic cars to buy and restore. The show makers soon turned their attention to the United States. Hence, series eight of Wheeler Dealers which aired in 2011, was filmed in California in the United States.

Edd China and Mike Brewer had set up their workshop in Huntington Beach, California. This decision was taken by the show makers so that they could deliver more episodes of the show. Having one fixed spot meant that China and Brewer could restore and sell cars from one spot, instead of having the cars shipped back to the UK. Since then, all the series of the show are filmed in California.
