Antique and classic car dealer Drew Pritchard, motoring broadcaster Andy Jaye and racing driver Marino Franchitti set out to discover the greatest racing cars of all time.

Modern day treasure hunter, Drew Pritchard is one of Britain's leading architectural salvage dealers, traveling the length and breadth of the country in search of weird and wonderful objects. Drew loves the thrill of the hunt and while he gets his hands dirty in the country's architectural backwaters, a crack team of restorers are back at base giving old and rare finds a new lease of life. We've seen them at work on Salvage Hunters, restoring, repairing and refining Drew's finds but for the first time, Salvage Hunters: The Restorers is going behind-the-scenes with this expert team to see what it really takes to transform junk into gems.

Salvage aficionado, Drew Pritchard teams up with Turbo Pickers' Paul Cowland for an epic motoring mission. They scour the UK, buying, restoring and selling classic cars.

Quest presents a brand new spin off series featuring architectural salvage expert Drew Pritchard. He'll be looking back at some of his favourite characters, from the flamboyant to the crafty to the downright eccentric. He will be telling us about these idiosyncratic individuals and reveals how he deals with their quirks in his quest to get the very best objects. The series will also look at some of the ace hunting grounds he's visited to buy the very best antiques for his showroom in Conwy and he will give out tips on where to go and how to find the most rewarding locations when searching for antiques. He looks back at his best haggles and the tactics astutely employed depending on who he is buying from! Drew has a particular talent for spotting unusual antiques and items that make his showroom such a cornucopia of curios.
