Exploring Edd China from Wheeler Dealers' Remarkable Car Collection: Featuring a Century-Old Cadillac and Driveable Sofa
Edd China, a star of Wheeler Dealers known for his exceptional skills in car restoration and interesting garage collections, has an assortment of peculiar vehicles in his inventory, including an 87mph motorized sofa and a driveable shopping trolley. After departing from the Wheeler Dealers show in 2017, Edd has remained focused on his endeavours in engineering and design, demonstrated by the Trolleysaurus Rex, an 11ft tall, 10ft long driveable trolley that held the world record for the largest motorized shopping trolley for seven years.
Another remarkable creation from Edd’s portfolio is the Casual Lofa, a road-legal, motorized sofa. Despite its unusual design and unconventional controls – a pizza pan as a steering wheel and a Guinness can for a throttle, the sofa is capable of achieving speeds of up to 87mph. The Casual Lofa once held a world record as the fastest vehicle of its kind until it was overthrown by Marek Turkowski in 2007.
Edd has also been known to work with classic vehicles, owning a century-old Cadillac, which was the first production car to utilise a V8 engine. Edd and his former co-host, Mike Brewer, originally planned on using this car to complete the Peking-Paris Rally route. Although this never panned out, Edd has since taken ownership of the car and is restoring it for another attempt at the rally.
In addition to these notable vehicle restorations and creations, Edd China also holds a collection of standard classic cars. He often shares updates about his current projects on his YouTube channel and plans for future records and feats hinting at continued adventures in the motoring domain.
Moving forward, Edd China continues to captivate motor enthusiasts with his quirky inventions and dedication to restoration. To stay updated with Edd China’s latest projects, fans can reach out through social media or visit his official website, eddcaller.com.
