Salvage Hunters Classic Cars is a British reality TV series that follows the exploits of Drew Pritchard - a renowned and skilled classic car dealer, as he scours the UK, searching for rare and unique classic cars to add to his collection. In this episode, Episode 4 of season 4, Drew sets his sights on finding a rare and historic classic car that he can restore and sell for a profit.

The episode starts with Drew meeting up with his friend and fellow classic car dealer, Paul Cowland. Together, they head to the Humber Bridge in Yorkshire, which is home to a number of private collections. Drew is on the hunt for a classic car that he can restore and sell for a handsome profit, but he's also looking for something that has a great story behind it.

Their first stop is at the workshop of a classic car enthusiast who has a soft spot for classic Fords. Drew and Paul are impressed with the selection of classic cars on display, including a 1964 Ford Anglia, a 1973 Mk1 Ford Capri, and a 1984 Ford Sierra. The owner is reluctant to part with any of his cars, but Drew manages to persuade him to sell his rare Ford Escort RS2000, which is in immaculate condition.

Next, Drew and Paul head to the private collection of another classic car enthusiast, who has an impressive selection of classic British cars, including a 1959 Austin-Healey Frogeye Sprite, a 1963 MG Midget, and a 1975 Triumph TR6. Drew is particularly interested in a 1959 Daimler SP250, which is a rare and unique sports car. The owner is not willing to part with the car, but he agrees to let Drew take it for a test drive.

After the test drive, Drew and Paul return to the workshop, where they decide that they want to attempt to restore a classic car that's been neglected and left to rot. They head to a scrapyard, where they find a 1968 Triumph GT6 MkI that's been abandoned and left to rust. The car is in a sorry state, with rusted bodywork and a seized engine. However, Drew sees the potential in the car and decides to purchase it.

Back at the workshop, Drew and Paul get to work on the restoration process. They start by stripping the car down to its bare bones and fixing the rusted bodywork. They then clean and repaint the car, before rebuilding the engine and replacing all of the mechanical components. The restoration process is long and grueling, but Drew is determined to restore the car to its former glory.

When the car is finally restored, Drew contacts a potential buyer who's interested in purchasing the car. They agree to meet up at a classic car auction, where Drew puts the car up for sale. The bidding starts at £10,000, and quickly escalates to £20,000, £30,000, and £40,000. The bidding continues until the car is finally sold for an impressive £50,000.
