Be Part of Beaulieu’s Award-Winning International Autojumble – September 1st & 2nd
Jun 25, 2018
Beaulieu’s International Autojumble will return on September 1st and 2nd with two top awards under its belt, after winning gold for the best event in Tourism South East’s Beaulieu South Awards and the UK Heritage Awards.
Join the celebrated motoring event’s classic car community of 2,000 stallholders for a petrol-fuelled weekend of trading and socialising. If you haven’t had a chance to enjoy the atmosphere, friendliness and camaraderie of the show, then you haven’t enjoyed the International Autojumble at its best.
Whether driving and restoring historic vehicles is a hobby or way of life, the opportunity to sell surplus parts, barter for hard-to-find items and gather invaluable know-how is a must on every enthusiast’s bucket list.
International Autojumble recently celebrated its 50th anniversary – Beaulieu was the birthplace of the autojumble back in 1967 – and is still the biggest and best this side of the Atlantic. Each year classic car enthusiasts gather from across Europe to search for treasure on stands packed withmotoring spares, accessories and automobilia. As the saying goes, if you can’t find it at Beaulieu then you won’t find it anywhere.
Stands start at £148.50 for an uncovered 12ft by 15ft space and stallholders enjoy the added bonus of access to the showground for Friday’s set-up, before event-goers arrive. It is the best time to meet up with old friends and make new contacts.
If one-day trading from your car boot is all you need to sell unwanted car parts and accessories, then Sunday’s Trunk Traderspitches start at £60.
If you’re selling a classic vehicle, Automart ensures that your vehicle is seen by thousands of potential buyers. The selection of motors is always varied, with the hottest buys often selling within minutes of show opening. Classic car dealers can also showcase impressive stock in Dealermart.
