Product Description

Star of TV's Salvage Hunters, Drew Pritchard will go to the greatest lengths for the best deals.

He discovered the casts Lord Elgin made from his infamous marbles in a school garage, & broke the bank to buy the tool box Malcolm Campbell used when he set the water speed record in 1934. He made a million. Lost it. & made it again.

The face of the compulsively fascinating business of finding & restoring lost treasures, visionary Drew takes us up & down the country, into garages, factories, schools & pubs, digging out incredible items from that 'other time & place'. Then by lovingly restoring them, he brings our history back to life.

A flat cap among silver spoons & old school ties, our favourite no-bullshit expert may be a one-off, but his story makes us all dream of that obscure piece of antiquity gathering dust in the garden shed...
