Catherine Southon and Paul Laidlaw squeeze into a very small classic car on their latest antiques-hunting adventure. These two treasure seekers are old chums who have battled it out before. Road Trip record holder Paul usually wins, of course, but maybe this time it will be different. Can Catherine's cold-painted peacock attract higher bids that his porcelain god of Mars? On this first leg they start out deep in Sherwood Forest and manoeuvre towards a tense auction in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. En route they visit the Museum of the Horse and find out all about the 17th-century Siege of Newark.

It is the halfway point of the trip for Catherine Southon and Paul Laidlaw, and their shiny red roadster called Mog, who are shopping their way from Wrexham to the black country - a few minor motor repairs notwithstanding. Paul bags himself a piggy bank, while Catherine opts for something distinctly oriental, but will their plans pay off at the auction? On the way, they take a trip across the world's tallest aqueduct at Pontcysyllte and find out about the incredible Victorian tile boom in Jackfield, before heading to the Penkridge auction.
