Wheeler Dealers is a long-running British television series about buying, restoring and selling used and classic cars, and its upbeat guitar theme has become shorthand for garage work and motoring makeovers. The short riff circulates on soundboards because it is instantly recognisable even at just over a second long, giving creators a quick way to signal a car project without using a full theme tune. It remains popular with motoring fans and video editors who want a familiar, energetic cue for reveals, restorations and car-related jokes.
