In season 2 of Antiques Road Trip, the two expert antique dealers, Tim Wonnacott and Charlie Ross, are back on the road to hunt down valuable antiques and make a profit by selling them at auction. The first episode sees the duo starting in Sussex and finishing in Cornwall.

From the get-go, Tim and Charlie are determined to outdo each other in finding the best antiques, and they set off in their classic cars to visit different dealers and auctions. The first stop is in Sussex, where Tim finds a charming Georgian writing desk that he believes will fetch a high price at auction. Charlie, however, is not impressed and thinks he can do better. He discovers a rare and exotic sword that he thinks will fetch a good price as it is an unusual find.

The next stop is in Hampshire, where Tim discovers an Edwardian dining table that he believes to be a great find. Charlie, however, thinks that Tim has made a mistake and has overvalued the piece. Charlie discovers an interesting pair of bookends that he hopes will do well, but is unsure as to its success at auction.

Their journey then takes them to Somerset, where Tim finds a dramatic cameo brooch by the famous designer William Hogarth. Charlie is struggling to find a valuable item until he discovers an old suitcase full of vintage hats. He hopes that these will sell well at auction and provides a fair amount of competition for Tim.

The duo then travels to Devon, where Tim finds a collection of Victorian glass that he hopes will sell well. Charlie discovers an odd looking gong which he hopes will get him a good amount of money at auction.

Finally, the road trip leads to Cornwall, where Tim finds an attractive early Victorian table that he hopes will prove popular at auction. Charlie, however, has outdone himself, finding an extraordinary item that is worth a fortune and will undoubtedly beat Tim’s sales at auction.

Throughout the episode, we see the two dealers haggling with dealers, vendors, and auction houses, and discussing the history and value of the antiques they are interested in. There are some moments of tension when the auction is about to begin, and they are anxiously waiting to see if their cherished items will sell.

In summary, season 2 of Antiques Road Trip kicks off with episode 1, which sees Tim and Charlie travel from Sussex to Cornwall in search of valuable antiques. The episode is filled with friendly but competitive banter, with both dealers determined to come out on top. Antiques Road Trip is a must-watch for anyone who loves antiques or is simply interested in the world of auctioneering.
