WHEELER Dealers host Mike Brewer has revealed a “hidden” classic car collection featuring Chevy’s and a motor that can float.
Mike, who has been a TV favourite for petrolheads for more than 20 years, visited a “car cathedral” with his wife.

But he couldn’t reveal the location and said they had been invited to view “somebody’s private car collection”.
Mike explained: “I can’t tell you where we are because we’ve just followed someone here. A secret location.”
He then showed viewers the “amazing” classic cars including a pink Chevrolet, a T-Bird and a Bellair.
The TV star said: “It’s full of Americana and it goes all the way back there. That’s a nice Chevy Blazer in the corner.
“There’s also a C1 and C2 Corvette over here. Look at the engine on this Cord.
“I’ve always thought these are one of the most beautiful cars ever made.”
He also highlighted a plethora of cool memorabilia and even an engine floating from the ceiling.
It comes after Mike opened up on the horror “head-on collision” he had with a lorry on the way to work.
The star said that the crash happened when he was just 19 years old while on the way to his job as a motor salesman.
Embarrassingly it was while driving the company car – a Vauxhall Cavalier.
Even worse, he had only received the keys the previous day.
He told The Times: “It was the early 1980s… and I’d just started working for two of the most successful car dealers in the business in Tooting, south London.
“I was the new hot-shot salesman and I worked my way up until I felt confident enough to ask if I could take a company car home.
“On the way to work the next day, I overtook a cement lorry parked on my left and found myself hurtling into a beer lorry that had just passed another lorry on the other side of the bend.”
The next thing Mike knew, he was being woken up by a “dear old lady” as he was sprawled across the dashboard.
Amazingly, he walked away with “not a single scratch” on him, even though he had snaped the steering wheel clean off as he was thrown forward into it.
He told The Telegraph: “[The] lorry hit me head-on. I was very shaken and bruised, but I was alive.”
