This unique upbringing clearly shaped his love for restoration and vintage machinery.

Salvage Hunters and TV Career
Salvage Hunters premiered in 2011 on the UK channel Quest and quickly became a fan favorite. The series follows Drew’s travels across Britain and Europe, scouring old estates, antique fairs, barns, and even scrapyards for salvageable antiques and historical artifacts.
Drew then brings these items back to his Conwy-based warehouse, where a skilled team of craftspeople restore and prepare them for resale. His knack for transforming overlooked “junk” into stylish, valuable pieces has made him one of the most recognized figures in the antiques trade.
Known affectionately by fans as the “Real Lovejoy,” Drew’s eye for detail and deep historical knowledge give him a sharp edge in the competitive world of antique dealing.
Drew Pritchard Classic Cars and Motorbikes
Beyond antiques, Drew is a lifelong motor enthusiast. He bought his first car at the age of 15, and his love for classic vehicles—particularly air-cooled Volkswagens and vintage Porsches—has never waned.
He actively participates in racing events, including the Historic Racing Drivers Club (HRDC) series, where he races a 1958 Beetle. He’s also worked on several restoration projects including a 1952 Sunroof VW Beetle and a 1967 Porsche 911.

He transformed it into a stunning country retreat, featuring original stables, 13 acres of land, a holiday cottage, and even a lavish toilet once owned by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
In recent years, he listed the property for sale at £795,000, marking the end of an era in what had become one of the most iconic homes in the antiques world.
