Alpacas, Goats and Cockney Rhymes!

Episode 19 of 20

Jewellery bigwig Ishy Khan and ceramics queen Irita Marriott meander through Suffolk and Norfolk in a 1971 Sunbeam Rapier.

It’s the penultimate leg of Irita Marriott and Ishy Khan’s road trip, and they’re travelling through Suffolk and Norfolk behind the wheel of a 1971 Sunbeam Rapier with £200 each to spend on antiques, antiquities and artefacts.

Arriving in Yoxford, Suffolk, they drive all the way to Panxworth, Norfolk, and browse in Blofield and Halesworth too before turning toward Lichfield in the Midlands for auction.

In Yoxford, Irita falls in love with an early 20th-century Islamic bowl, in Halesworth she finds a bunch of vintage fountain pens, in Blofield she discovers a vintage steamer suitcase, and there’s a treat or two in between.

Ishy, meanwhile, takes his chances on a Victorian white metal brooch, an art deco coin purse, a Victorian inkwell and a rather unique gearbox from a fighter jet.

Exploring a unique care farm in Lowestoft, Ishy learns the history and therapeutic benefits of these centuries-old support networks and gets up close with an alpaca and a goat or two.
