Edd China, widely recognized for his role on the motoring show Wheeler Dealers, garnered a significant fan following for his automotive expertise during his 13-year tenure on the program. Born on May 9, 1971, in London, China nurtured a fascination for automobiles from a young age, leading him to study engineering product design at South Bank University. His academic pursuits saw him invent the Casual Lofa, a drivable sofa-car hybrid. China then formed Cummfy Banana Limited in March 1999 to merchandise his distinctive creations. Additionally, he also ran an MOT and servicing garage, Grease Junkie in Bracknell, Berkshire, until August 2016. This entity later morphed into an online platform where China merchandises car parts and other mechanic-related wares.

China’s notable endeavours and contributions to the auto industry span beyond his TV appearances. His impressive car collection includes his drivable sofa and a 1916 Cadillac. Moreover, he holds multiple Guinness World Record titles — exhibiting his ingenuity in building the fastest shed, toilet, bed, milk float, and the largest motorized shopping trolley.

In 2017, fans were taken aback when China announced his departure from Wheeler Dealers. He cited disagreements over the show’s progression as the reason for his leave. His concerns revolved around the diminishing workshop segment of the show, which he believed compromised his integrity and the quality of his work. His announcement culminated in a torrent of online harassment directed at his co-presenter Mike Brewer’s family, allegedly because of his decision to leave the show. China was succeeded by Ant Anstead on the show in 2018.

In launching his YouTube series Garage Revival, and continuing to expand his online presence, China has maintained his commitment to the auto industry. His wife, Imogen, while supportive, prefers to stay away from the public glare. The couple’s possible offspring remain unknown to the public.
