Beaulieu Autojumble 12th & 13th September 2009
This
year’s International Autojumble, taking place on the 12th and 13th
September is shaping up to be a bumper event with all but a handful of
stands now taken. With over 2,000 trade stands to choose from – the
largest gathering of its kind outside the US - there is something for
everyone and lots of bargains to be had.
On
Saturday, Bonhams will be holding a sale of over 140 collectors’ cars,
and motorcycles plus over 300 lots of Automobilia. Among the vehicles
for sale are 30 selected motor cars from the collection of the late and
much respected motoring enthusiast, Barry Burnett, plus vehicles from
the Glen Acres Collection, including a 1936 Alvis Speed 25 Drophead
Coupe at £65-70,000. Also going under the hammer is a 1939 Lanchester
Limousine designed and built for George Vl which is expected to fetch
up to £35,000. There are few Royal cars of such significance outside
the Queen’s own collection.
The
Automart will have over 200 cars on offer, ranging from a 1931 Sunbeam
Coupé, a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith ll and an Austin Mini Moke to a 1978
Daimler Sovereign a 1966 Mustang Fastback and a Westfield Cosworth. The
DealerMart will have a selection of classic cars for sale. On Sunday,
the popular Trunk Traders, will see amateur autojumblers selling their
surplus motoring bits from the back of their cars.
Don’t
miss the opportunity to ‘Ask the Experts’, in show sponsors, Classics
Monthly’s Restoration Village where a group of experts will be busy
with hammers, spanners and welding gear, demonstrating restoration
skills. They will also be on hand to answer all your restoration
questions. Take time to admire the magazine’s readers’ classic cars,
including a very special Triumph Herald prototype hatchback, which has
been lovingly restored after its owner spent 20 years looking for the
car.
The
Autojumble is open at 10am on Saturday and 9.30am Sunday. Ticket
prices are 1-day adult, £13.00 (Sat), £11.50 (Sun), child £7.50 (Sat),
£7.25 (Sun), including admission to the National Motor Museum and
‘World of Top Gear’.
