Antiques Road Trip experienced a record-breaking win after an item spotted by host Paul Laidlaw sold for an incredible £20,000 - beating the previous record by a huge sum
In an extraordinary twist on Antiques Road Trip, host Paul Laidlaw made history when a rare find netted an astonishing £20,000 at auction. The savvy antiques guru bagged the uncommon camera for a mere £60 during his rummage in a Margate, Kent antique shop brimming with collectables. Recounting the eclectic mix available in store, the owner remarked: "Three floors, the upstairs is mainly furniture but there's stuff everywhere.
The auctioneer at the sale in Bury St Edmunds, Edward Crichton, admitted he'd "never seen one" like it before. Gushing with anticipation, Edward said: "The sub-miniature camera - I have never seen one, in fact, we have carried out some research and cannot find any other example which has sold at auction, we were very excited to see this and it has certain potential to make a significant profit.
