EP15  David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 5
Nov. 27,2023
David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 5

It’s the end of the tour for seasoned road tripper David Harper and his debutante rival Hettie Jago as they steer the 1980s Mercedes 280 SL towards their final auction. With money to spend and one last chance in the saleroom, they hit the antiques shops and emporia of Lancashire. Hettie invests in varied lots from inkwells to hatstands, then blows the remainder of her budget on one spectacular big-ticket item in a bid to outwit David. And isn’t it typical? David waited all day for an urn stand, then two came along at once. There’s also time for a pit stop. David visits a Chorley-based, traditional soap maker with a complex history involving not just a flight from the Russian revolution of 1917, but escape from persecution under the Nazis too. Then it’s on to their last showdown. Will Hettie, the student, become the master? Or will David hold on to win?

David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 4

Auctioneer Hettie Jago and dealer David Harper's fourth outing is all about the lakes, and the pair will be hoping that their 1980s Mercedes SL 280 convertible will cope with the challenging roads of the district. These mountains of north west England were once chock-a-block with Romantic poets. But Hettie and David are here for the antiques, not to mention the delicious cumberland sausages. Between motoring and munching, Hettie hunts for animal-themed antiques and finds equine vesta cases and Japanese netsukes in the form of crabs. But will she claw back a profit? David also tracks down a bear and an art deco figurine while making a famille rose bowl sing. Coincidentally, Hettie learns the score in the village of Sedgewick, where she explores the legacy of Victorian musical pioneer Mary Augusta Wakefield.

David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 3

We’re approaching the halfway mark with Hettie Jago, David Harper and their delightful 1980s Mercedes 280 SL. This time, they begin in Brampton, Cumbria - 133 miles from their starting point in Perth. Hettie, an auctioneer and dealer from Nottingham, is on her very first Road Trip. She sticks to her first love, jewellery, buying two stunning brooches made centuries apart. Old hand David from Barnard Castle has scoured the entire UK over the years, and today roots out a First World War campaign chest, a stunning copper charger and a Bakelite heart-shaped box. Our pair also attend match day in Workington and discover the brutal delights of a traditional, mass football game called Uppies and Downies before concluding at an auction in Wrexham.

David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 2

The second leg of our contest between David Harper and Hettie Jago includes a visit to the city of Glasgow, followed by the road south through the Scottish Borders. Dealer David, from Northumbria, is a classic car fan who’s thrilled to be behind the wheel of their Mercedes 280 SL convertible. Hettie scoops up an enamel necklace, vintage pens and a Japanese censor, while David trusts his instincts, buying a dusty pair of Victorian portraits and repairing an already much-damaged majolica wine holder. Hettie also has a close encounter with a cow as she investigates the role of John Boyd Orr in the development of the science of nutrition. They started out with £1,500 and have to make it last all week. But who will win the second of their best-of-five auction contest?

David Harper and Hettie Jago - Day 1

Auctioneer, dealer and Road Trip greenhorn Hettie Jago goes up against David Harper, the old hand still rocking those multi-coloured trews. Hettie, Somerset born and currently residing in Nottingham, and Barnard Castle’s David have a 1980s Mercedes 280 SL for their shopping extravaganza. Our pair begin with £1,500 each, and the winner will be the expert who wins the most auctions from their five trips to the sale room. The rummaging starts north of the border in the fair city of Perth, where Hettie gurgles for joy at a pair of fish jugs and David competes on the animal front with a beaded tapestry of man’s best friend. He also flings himself into a visit to the historic castle of Scone, where many Kings of Scotland were crowned. But who will rule the road trip this time around?
