The second leg of our bragging-rights contest between Tim Medhurst and Hettie Jago takes them deep into Surrey, England’s most wooded county. Dealer Tim will be hoping to make his coin expertise count, while auctioneer Hettie will always be first to the jewellery section. They are nipping about in a white replica Jaguar and have £200 each to spend.

We begin this leg in the Mole Valley – in Ashtead, to be precise. Tim takes on several chunky antiques staples in the form of a plaster bust and some salt-glazed Toby jugs. Hettie, meanwhile, makes some more delicate selections, picking up an Italian gilt box and an elegant brass dancing figure. The pair also pay a visit to Brooklands, the former racing circuit which played a crucial role in the history of aviation, but who will win the second auction in this best-of-five contest?
