Episode 13 of 25

Raj Bisram and Paul Martin explore antique shops in the West Country. At auction, an expensive biscuit tin leaves a foul taste while a cheap oil painting makes an impression.

The third outing with Raj Bisram and Paul Martin. Given that it is dealer Paul鈥檚 very first Road Trip experience, it is a good thing he has his chum Raj alongside him in the classic roadster. Just how chummy they will be when the auction rolls around remains to be seen.

The pair explore the Cotswolds and the Mendips in style. Along the way, they discover the story of the fascinating Yorkshireman who not only discovered oxygen, but also had a big hand in the invention of the gin and tonic. Cheers to that! Raj also makes an unusual detour to paint his face on an egg.

In Somerset, Raj makes a purchase with a touching story, a father and son鈥檚 war medals. Paul, however, spots a bargain when he picks up an oil painting of a lifeboat. One expert鈥檚 buy makes over ten times its purchase price at a thrilling auction in Somerset.
