I wanted to get another Wii now, to fiddle around more with homebrew and stuff, but don't want to brick mine already. And you can get them between 65-75£ which is quite cheap, and it's the console only.

The only thing I want to know is if the UK Wii will support 220V? As far one eBay member said yes, the other said that he thinks that you need an adapter. So who knows? Can I use my 220V cable to plug it in?

UK uses the same 230V as Luxembourg, so all that you will need is the correct power cable, as the plug sockets are different in the UK.

BTW, where did you see Wii's for £75? I've not seem them for less than £160.

Also it's of course used ones, not new ones, so only interesting for someone who owes already a Wii, some kind as replacement Wii.

So I will need an adapter to plug it in here.

No. You should just be able to use the power cable from your other Wii with it. It is only the plug that will be different at your wall socket.
