Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer reveals 'hidden' classic car collection featuring Chevy's & motor that can FLOAT
Images posted to the Wheeler Dealer story function on Friday showed two naked women nearly kissing and another of a woman in barely their underwear lifting her top up.
A fumed Mike said: "The Wheeler Dealers Facebook page is for the classic car community or the car community in general.
"It's not there to scam people or to fleece people.
"For people to come to a legitimate Facebook page built by fans over the years is despicable and I hate them and I hate the social media companies for allowing it.
"It's terrible. I apologise if anything is offending people, it's not me it's somebody else doing it."
The car expert continues to post on Facebook and other platforms like X and Instagram.
It comes after Mike showcased his new collection of Ford vans.
"They are exceptional. These transits, we have been developing these ourselves," he said.
Mike and his team developed the vans with original wheels, roof bars, front splitter and bigger grills.
With "loads more in stock", Mike said there are three models.
The more basic motors cost around £25,990, as seen in the price tags in the video.
The Adventurer, a more premium model, is priced around £44,000.
And the Explorer, which comes with a tent on the roof, is priced at £52,950.
Showcasing the vans, Mike said: "We got the Adventurer. This has got the blue accents on it which sets it aside from all the others.
"And we got the Explorer, which comes with a roof rack, it's got a tent on the roof. We have a seating system that slides forward and backwards so you can use it as a van or a leisure vehicle.
"It means that they're so much more utilitarian, you can use them for all kinds of things. And they just look cool as well."
Mike's followers on Instagram went wild after seeing the super motors.
One user commented: "Love the old school look."

Another added: "Gorgeous vans."
A third one shared their will to get one, writing "Mate, if I had the funds."
Mike Brewer's incredible car collection
NOT only does he has a knack of picking up affordable motors and flipping them for a profit, Mike Brewer also know how to pick the good ones for himself.
Here are some motors in the star's car collection:
- Porsche Passion: The bulk of Mike's collection is made up of Porsche models from across some of the brand's most popular decades. Models represented include a 912 E (a four-cylinder version of the iconic 911), which is one of just 2,099, and a 928. He also owns a 1982 Porsche SC, which he took on himself as a resto-mod project.
- Ford Transit: Back on the internal combustion side of things, Mike is the proud owner of a MkI Ford Transit van. His 1974 model was formerly used by the German fire service, before being converted to right-hand drive and only had 10,000 miles on the clock when Mike picked it up.
- Mini Cooper S: One of the greatest icons of British Motoring history, the Mini Cooper firmly secured cult status during the 1960s. This was no doubt helped by its starring role in The Italian Job, ferrying Michael Caine and Co around at the climax of the 1969 heist flick. Mike's is one of the original run of the model, which lasted from 1961 to 1971.
- MG MGA: Mike snapped up his "beautiful" 1959 MG sportster around the time of the show's very first series. He recalled looking around a California workshop as the team scouted for locations and chatting with the building's owner. The man apparently revealed that he had won the car in a charity raffle back in 1974 before leaving it in a garage for 20 years.
- Land Rover 110 Defender: The Land Rover was actually gifted to Mike by a friend of his and was in a bit of a sorry state. Mike and Jonny joked that the car had "cellulite" and looked like "an ostrich has been pecking it" thanks to all the dents and dings on the bodywork.
- Ford Fiesta [MISSING]: Sadly, there is a gaping hole in Mike's collection, after his beloved Ford Fiesta was stolen in June 2023. He and his Wheeler Dealers co-star Marc Priestley had specially restored the car for around £11,200 before it was cruelly pinched. Mike has even offered a £5,000 reward for anyone who can get it back. However, he shared an agonizing update on the case with fans in February 2024 and gave some more details on how the crime unfolded.
