Drew Pritchard from hit show Salvage Hunters is known for his amazing knowledge on antique collectibles and artefacts, but he is also a huge petrolhead with an eye for collectible cars. Always on the hunt for that elusive gem, Drew has turned a childhood love of visiting car scrapyards to unearth rare and beautiful items into a thriving international business enterprise – and a hit TV show on Quest.
The presenter and antiques expert, is well known for his love of classic cars and is known to race his 1958 Volkswagen Beetle, recently racing in the Jack Seers Trophy at Goodwood. At the NEC event, Drew Pritchard was joined by fellow car nut Paul Cowland, from TV’s Turbo Pickers. The pair are launching a new show heading to Quest early 2018 – Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars.
Drew has been dealing independently since 1993 having trained initially as a restorer and designer. He has spent 23 years as an independent dealer working from his base in North Wales. His business is driven by passion, an innate knowledge of antiques and a fascination with mixing items from different periods which has earned him a loyal client base of private individuals as well as partnering the best in his field on global and UK based projects.
Drew has been dealing in architectural salvage and antiques for 29 years and is a member of LAPADA. He is also a presenter on Salvage Hunters, a TV show that takes you to various antique dealers around the country, in hopes of finding antiques at great prices for restoration. It was made before US show American Pickers, in which two guys also travel in a van to various locations hunting for antiques and collectibles.
Fans of the show can also look forward to new episodes of the series starting in February. Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars is a new show on Quest that sees Drew Pritchard teams up with Turbo Pickers’ Paul Cowland for a motoring mission. They scour the UK, buying, restoring and selling classic cars.
