WHEELER DEALERS host Mike Brewer has been left speechless after his damaged Porsche was perfectly restored, saying it looked like it "rolled off the production line".

The star admitted accidentally damaging his classic '80s sports car as a result of a major storage error.

In a video posted to X, he explained that he had kept the car in a tent over the winter, only to find that the sub-zero temperatures had frozen the material.

He added: "Obviously the material and the chemicals they use in the tent fabric when it defrosted, it defrosted onto the car.

"So it's all rained inside the tent onto the car and it’s blistered the paintwork."

Thankfully, he found saviours in the form of the two-man detailing team from Car Gods, who got the 911 model back up to showroom-quality condition.

Filming the big reveal, Mike said: "Boys boys, boys, you have absolutely smashed this one out of the park.

"Ladies and gentlemen look at that.

"I mean that is just insane isn’t it?

"The car looks like it was just rolling out of the production line in 1982."

And the presenter added that he had big plans for the motor in the near future.

Indeed, the restoration as a whole was motivated by the fact that he is set to take it touring around a couple of car shows this year.

However, he didn't mention which ones so fans will have to keep a close eye on his social media if they want the chance to get a glimpse at it.

Commenters were amazed by the beautiful classic.

One wrote: "Nice one, looks amazing.

"Don’t put it back in the tent this winter."

Another added: "I've only ever owned red cars and that looks amazing."

It comes after we gave readers a sneak peek inside Mike's personal car collection.

Meanwhile, the Wheeler Dealers host also revealed what his life is like when not filming, dubbing it "chaotic".
