With just over four weeks to go until Beaulieu International Autojumble, motoring enthusiasts from far and wide are gearing up for a weekend of automotive treasure-hunting on the south coast.
Hundreds of stands will be bursting with spare parts, rare books, model cars, retro clothing and unique automobilia, offering something for everyone. What’s more, there will be one or two familiar faces in attendance…
Custom car builder Andy Saunders is among the notable motoring figures joining the two-day event, and with him he will be bringing one of his very own custom creations, Tetanus. Event-goers will be able to admire the custom 1937 Cord 812 Westchester sedan up close as well as chat to the car builder himself. Andy will also be selling copies of his autobiography, The Automotive Alchemist.
Fans of BBC’s The Repair Shop will be excited to learn that expert craftsman and car fanatic Dominic Chinea will be returning to browse the stands this year. As a seasoned Autojumble visitor, Dominic enjoyed hunting for parts for his various workshop projects last year. Watch his YouTube video here.
Adding a touch of elegance to the weekend, Molly Bridge, presenter of Bridge Classic Cars, will be visiting Beaulieu’s International Autojumble. Known for her vintage style and classic car knowledge, Molly is a popular figure amongst both vintage and motoring enthusiasts on social media.
The Bonhams | Cars auction is a much-loved feature of the show, taking place on Saturday 14th, with some stunning collectors’ vehicles up for auction. Sunbeam enthusiasts can look forward to seeing a 1962 3.0-Litre Super Sports Tourer, a 1930 Twenty Tourer by Charlesworth and a 1914 12-16 Sports Tourer all go under the hammer.
