Series 2: 9. Car Boot Fake or Fortune?



Near Wigan, Matt has built his wife’s dream home, and he has filled it, not only with his own collections, but also those of his late father. The bedrooms, garage and even the summerhouse are packed to the rafters with boxes filled with collectibles. Matt has even resorted to filling a shipping container in the garden. It’s a dire situation for his wife of 25 years, Paula, who is desperate to clear her husband’s clutter. However, they don’t know where to begin.\n\nA haul of gold sovereigns could be worth a fortune, but auctioneer Izzie Balmer suspects some may be fake. Her suspicion is aroused when she learns Matt bought them at a car boot sale. Matt and Paula’s six daughters have threatened to throw everything in a skip, so Izzie has just one day to root out the treasures from the trash before it’s too late.\n\nRestorer JJ Chalmer uses a toothpaste hack to add value to damaged collectibles, although he’ll need something stronger to bring back to life the diggers and dumper trucks he thinks will entice collectors at auction.\n\nOn sale day, some old camera equipment is snapped up by keen bidders, and some 1980s computers set the internet alight with bids.
