Car Booty

If you're on a decluttering mission, what better incentive than to swap your old junk for something that you really want? That's exactly what the guests on Car Booty do with the help of presenter Lorne Spicer and antiques expert Mark Franks.

Car Booty

The premise is simple: Out with the old and in with the new. Lorne and Mark help families sort through their attic, cupboards and garages to find anything that is past it's prime or no longer needed. Then it's off to a well trodden car boot sale to flog the items to the public, and bag a few quid in the process. Each family has something in mind they want to spend their cash on, so whether it's the trip of a lifetime or a new car, the incentive is to shift as much as possible.

Of course, not all of your prized possessions need to end up on the trestle table. Some works of art, jewellery or pieces of furniture may be more suited to a specialist dealer, and Lorne and Mark are on hand to advise our families and hook them up with those in the know.

Watch out though, it may be that what you thought of as a valuable family heirloom may just be a worthless reproduction!
