There has been an increase in the number of people having car boot sales across the UK, it has been claimed.

According to automobile manufacturer Chevrolet, 19.4 million people are looking to stage such an event at some point this summer.

It added that the average car boot sale nets sellers £142 - a helpful amount in the wake of the credit crunch and high car insurance and road tax bills.

Eric Knowles, known for his work on the Antiques Roadshow, commented that car boot sales are "a fabulous way to stumble across some amazing finds for next to nothing".

"Trust me, there are some great value goodies still waiting to be discovered in the nation's car boots. You never know, you could even come across a hidden treasure worth tens of thousands of pounds," he said.

As well as the Antiques Roadshow, Eric Knowles has appeared on Going for a Song, Call My Bluff and Going, Going, Gone.
