A TV motoring presenter has launched a business selling used cars.
Mike Brewer, who sold cars before becoming a presenter on TV programmes such as Driven and Pulling Power on Channel 4 and Wheeler Dealers on the Discovery Channel, has opened a dealership in Sheffield.
Its home is the former Gordon Lamb Toyota showroom in Bramall Lane, which closed last August.
Branded Mike Brewer Motors, and staffed by a small team of salespeople, technicians and support staff, the dealership at Bramall Lane is hoped to be a success that leads to a roll out of the brand to several other UK locations.
Its launch came shortly after another celebrity, ex F1 winner Nigel Mansell, opened a dealership.

Let's hope he makes more profit than he does from the cars on Wheeler Dealers!
