MIKE Brewer and Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestley had a car crash filming their new show – resulting in them smashing through a motorway barrier.
The beloved motoring presenters are back on Discovery later this month with a new series of Wheeler Dealers.
But this time the petrol heads are leaving the UK as they embark on a huge world tour.
The six-month adventure saw them visit countries in Europe as well as head to North America and even Down Under.
Filming the series wasn’t without mishaps as Mike, 59, and Elvis, 47, revealed they were caught up in a car crash.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Mike said: “The only time the camera wasn’t rolling was when he [Elvis] drove through a motorway barrier.
“Not like James Bond by the way, but a motorway barrier came down and he drove through it.”
As Elvis laughingly interjected explaining it was an accident, Mike added: “It was the most funniest thing that ever happened and we didn’t have a camera on it.
“I’m gutted about that, it was very funny.”
Elvis, who joined the beloved motoring series four years ago, has promised even more jaw-dropping hilarious moments from their tour.
He explained: “We’re experiencing things for the first time and out of our comfort zone and when you roll the cameras in those moments you get entertainment.
“None of it is acted, none of it is put on, it’s just genuine and real and that’s what hopefully makes this show so nice.”
The new series of Wheeler Dealers will mark its 27th run, having started back in 2003 with Mike and former show star Edd China.
Last year Mike and Elvis bagged a rare Ford Fiesta to celebrate their 20th year on air.
