Antiques Roadshow in shock Top Gear crossover as contestant learns staggering truth behind prize from BBC show | The Sun

ANTIQUES Roadshow guest was left shocked after finding out their Lewis Hamilton gear was worth a whopping amount.

The roadshow visited Clissold Park in Stoke Newington in the London Borough of Hackney in Sunday's episode.

Expert Hilary Kay was thrilled to be presented with some signed items from racing legend and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.

The guest brought a VIP pass to an event, and a helmet and overalls actually worn by Hamilton himself.

Talking about how he got the items, the guest revealed: "When it all happened in 2008 that was the first season I started watching and I have never stopped.

"I asked my dad to enter a competition because I wasn't old enough to enter at the time and it just so happened that he won.

"You were flown by helicopter to where they filmed Top Gear and got to meet Lewis Hamilton."

Hilary said: "Even though this isn't a race overall it is the real thing, he did wear it while he was driving.

"Obviously the value isn't going to be as high as if it was a race overall.

"But I still think the two together and the VIP pass, all signed, will be around £10,000."

The guest was left stunned and said: "Wow. Yeah, that's a lot more than I was expecting."

Hilary added: "The great thing is, your dad has passed his enthusiasm on to you.

"You are going to look after this collection and hopefully you are going to add to it."

The guest replied: "I would hope so. It would be nice to get the opportunity to.

"But I'll definitely keep a hold of this for the foreseeable future and hopefully add to it."
