<\/p>\nWHEELER DEALERS fans have been desperate for more information on host Mike Brewer's Ford Fiesta after he revealed it had been stolen.<\/p>\n
The TV star fronts the beloved motoring show, which sees vintage vehicles restored to their former glory, alongside co-host Marc "Elvis" Priestly and both presenters have appealed to the public for help with hunting down the stolen car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mike Brewer revealed that his\u00a0Ford Fiesta Mk1\u00a0was stolen in June 2023.<\/p>\n
The car had been specially restored by Brewer and Priestly to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the\u00a0Wheeler Dealers show, with \u00a311,200 worth of work going into the project.<\/p>\n
The overhaul of the car was also to commemorate the end of the iconic Ford hatchback, which\u00a0Ford have discontinued.<\/p>\n
The 1979 Mk 1\u00a0Ford Fiesta\u00a01300S went missing from the car park of the hotel the Wheeler Dealers crew had been staying at in Knottingley Road, Pontefract.<\/p>\n
It was due to be unveiled on the show the day after it was taken.<\/p>\n Footage showing the restoration of the Fiesta was aired on the first episode of Wheeler Dealers' 18th series on the Discovery Channel in October.<\/p>\n As of November 2023, the stolen Ford Fiesta has not been returned to Brewer and Priestly.<\/p>\n The presenting pair had been planning to take the restored vehicle to a Ford festival in Yorkshire earlier in 2023 but, of course, were unable to do so.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In a video posted to Twitter shortly after it was taken, Mike and his co-host Marc appealed to the public for any information they may have that could help them get the stolen car back.<\/p>\n They explained at the time that they hoped the classical car community could "come together"\u00a0to track it down.<\/p>\n Then, in an interview with\u00a0the Express, Mike offered \u00a35,000 cash to anyone who could share where the stolen Ford Fiesta was.<\/p>\n He added: "I will drop that in a bin, I will send that to a PO BOX, I don\u2019t care how it happens. <\/p>\n "It will be one of those\u00a0Hollywood\u00a0movie endings.<\/p>\n "Whatever someone wants me to do, I don't care. <\/p>\n "I will go into a crowded pub and give someone \u00a35,000 if someone gives me the car."<\/p>\n In footage from the 2023 series of Wheeler Dealers, Brewer and Priestly relived the moment they realised the car had been taken.<\/p>\n Priestley said: "We were so proud of it.<\/p>\n "We went to bed in the hotel all excited about the next day when everyone was going to get to see it for the first time.<\/p>\n "And as many of you will now know, we woke up in the morning and it had been stolen. And it was heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n Brewer added: "We devoted so much of our time and attention way above what we normally do on a restoration or a build, into this car because we knew how important this car was.<\/p>\n "There's only four of them left in the country so this was a really important car for us. <\/p>\n "To wake up in the morning and find out it had been stolen was destroying…It destroyed us."<\/p>\n He continued:\u00a0"To stand in front of 1,000 people at our one festival we had arranged and tell it to them, announce it to them, there were tears. <\/p>\n "It was really tough."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/jr-wheeler-dealers-host-mike-brewer.jpg\")
