Beaulieu Spring Autojumble May 2010
Held on the Beaulieu estate in May the spring 2 day Motormart Autojumble brings in collectors and visitors from all around the world. This event was well attended and there was a good selection of outside and marquee stalls to browse. There is always a wide range of petroliana for sale together with automobilia, ephemera and spare car parts. The Automart in the main ring saw hundreds of classic and vintage vehicles for sale of all shapes sizes and prices - a Bentley Tourer was on offer at £115,000 along with cars for just a couple of thousand pounds. No trip to Beaulieu is complete however without a visit to the Motor Museum which was included in the entry price. For those who couldn't attend the photographs below give a brief look at the show.

 This 1920's advertising enamel sign for W.H.Smiths was bought by Vintage Garage at one of the more specialised Beaulieu stalls. Railway Stations were a popular venue for companies wishing to advertise their products to a mass audience, and this included many petrol and oil companies. W.H.Smith would do the lot for just 1/6 per week and this included an enamel advertising sign measuring 50' x 30'
 The Automart section is hugely popular for those looking for a weekend runaround or an investment for the future
