New Wheels and Heading North!

It鈥檚 the fourth leg of Roo Irvine and David Harper鈥檚 whirlwind UK antiques tour, and they鈥檙e ticking off their third country: England. The north west of England, to be precise. This time, they鈥檙e hitting the road in style with a new set of vintage wheels: meet Brenda, the big, bushy beauty turning heads wherever she goes.

Roo has got a glint in her eye as she goes for both gold and silver, selecting shiny treasures that could sparkle at auction. David, ever the bold buyer, opts for base metals and sets his sights on a colossal piece of garden sculpture that's as heavy as it is impressive.

Their journey takes a poignant turn with a visit to one of the world鈥檚 oldest football clubs, where they uncover the inspiring story of a trailblazing player who broke barriers and paved the way for future legends.
