Beaulieu International Autojumble September 2009
Held on the Beaulieu estate twice a year the 2 day International Autojumble brings in collectors and visitors from all around the world. This September saw the largest Autojumble ever with fine and warm weather bringing out tens of thousands of visitors. There were acres of stalls, both outside and in marquees, selling a wide range of autojumble and petroliana which also included cheaper replicas for those who could not afford the real thing or who might want to put a replica sign or globe outside without fear of the real thing being stolen. The Automart in the main ring saw hundreds of classic and vintage vehicles for sale and there was also a Bonhams auction held on the Saturday which saw some very high prices fetched for petroliana. No trip to Beaulieu is complete without a visit to the Motor Museum which houses the National collection and as ever, many enjoyed the exhibits on show. Below are some of the images taken on my trip so I hope you enjoy them and if you haven't been before they may inspire you to take a trip to the next International Autojumble.
