Beaulieu International Autojumble 2022

[@passengerseatpodcast]

Earlier this year we dealt with the aftermath of many many years of attending Beaulieu for over 40years as we tried to clear out a family friends garages - hidden amongst endless Morris, Singer and Arrol Johnson Spares we found his meticulously kept Beaulieu notebook. He went every year with the same friend to the same hotel, with this note book where he had the part name, number and little sketches of parts he needed. There were additional notes about where he had spotted one on the field and prices and if he had got one. Being that serious about it obviously worked as his cars were immaculate and he had every spare you could dream of at least thrice over!

Beaulieu Autojumble is older than I am. I'm 53. That's pretty good going by any standards!

[@roberttucker805]

I was standing about three feet from you at one point and I knew I had seen you somewhere but I couldn't think where! Hope you enjoyed your day. I've been going to Beaulieu autojumble most years for forty years now. I always spend more than I should but it's only once a year. Great video!

[@CycolacFan]

Jon is a great guy, very chilled for a CEO and he’s a proper car enthusiast too. That’s his own car he’s standing in front of.

[@peterriggall8409]

Right man for the job. 👍

[@emmajacobs5575]

That was brilliant! You seem to have found some lovely characters and you bring out the best in them.

[@mrmagnet1970]

You are looking really well Stef. Keep it going

[@peterriggall8409]

Great video and interviews Steph. Good to see fellow Citroen nut James Walshe and the 90 y.o. enthusiast ++ 👍

[@allanmollison6971]

Thanks again for posting Steph. Looking forward to seeing what's next on idriveaclassic. 😊👍

[@bobspeller2225]

I was there and I think it wasn't a good as the last one I attended in 2018. did not find one thing I needed for my Lancia, Always worth a visit, you never know what could be there. Cheers Bob

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Thank you very much for the video

[@nigelh4617]

More of these characters, Steph, they are a treat.

[@michaelhalsall5684]

Great video! Your car videos are something I look forward to each week!

[@stephenricketts7764]

Did you only go for one day Steph?😂😂 I used to live just a few miles from Beaulieu but didn't often go to the jumble. Suppose if it's on your doorstep you take it for granted. I love some of those characters especially the 'almost 90' Gent bless him. Hope you didn't spend too much money! I think you should go for two days next year.😂 Joking aside do take care Steph and thanks for sharing this video of your rummage. 👍 👍PS I love the Zephyr. ❤

Wow, great memories...we went a couple of times in the early rockin 80s...I remember seeing old blokes walking around with cardboard signs round their necks with the parts they were after written on them! Your film makes me want to try it again. Thanks Steph

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Neat to see and thanks for the walk about. That pretty much is the way our auto fairs/swap meets are here in the states.

[@suznet]

looks fantastic for the enthusiast or anyone with an interest in older cars, so many characters too.

[@CycolacFan]

Top quality video Steph, great work. The only way to do the event in a day is to not stop to talk to anyone, and talking and meeting people is half the fun.

[@Edie_Fox]

I'm in awe of Richard's planning and methodical approach on 'how to do the auto jumble'. Nice to see I'm not alone with the need for everything to be correct AF! ☺

[@11carbuff19572011]

Love the video Steph. I do actually collect old car mags & sales brochures as well. I've also got original reviews of the Motor Shows on DVD and via mags, I also collect models of great old cars and have since Christmas 1988.

[@aslandama]

Looks very interesting, must do it some time. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@Hunter-dv1gn]

Looking good Steph !

[@globalroamer1900]

Another interesting video....well done.

[@tristanpage6805]

Great video. Fantastic show Id love to go. Side note very well edited. Keep up the great work.

[@Vince_uk]

Excellent Video Steph ad well worth a visit.

[@anthonytallarida4192]

That is great Steph, an autojumble is called or known as a swap meet in Australia.

[@allanmollison6971]

And in NZ too

[@cornishhh]

I reckon Bendigo might be bigger than Beaulieu, although I've not been for a long time.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Was the Postman Pat Van up for sale? I recognise it from a eBay Advert just recently. For me I would be in and out of the car brochures area and trying to find car brochures of my childhood, just like Mr Walsh from Practical Classics. Great video as always Steph and great guests sharing their buys.

[@CycolacFan]

Yes the van was for sale, they have four of them!

[@fruitychink]

Really fascinating video . Thank you for creating it

[@Braithwaites_Garage]

Love this, just an all round great video!

[@loveisall5520]

Fascinating how the British have 'adapted' that French name!

[@artmallory970]

~30% of the words in Anglais derive from Francois...

[@parne1978]

Great video Steph nice to see what it looks like from a visitor who’s never been your get the beauliea bug lol 👍

[@Stephenb033]

So many characters

[@graemew7001]

Now there's a classic petrolheads idea of a weekend of heaven. I'd be limiting myself to a budget for magazines etc otherwise the car would be overloaded, and my bank balance would be empty lol

[@jodiethemorrisminortraveller]

Good one Steph 👍

[@mattw8332]

I think I had that same Ford Scorpio brochure that the chap from Practical Classics bought. 😁 Got my copy from a Ford display at the Great Yarmouth Motor Show in 1995 or 96. Looks like a great day out. Shame I only drive a 4 year old car.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Just the greatest 😊♥️

[@leopoldonotarianni8663]

Very good Steph.

[@lesklower7281]

Definitely something completely different Steph l do like you spoke to many people especially the dye cast model collector and that book he bought l would find that book intresting in Australia we never would have an event like this and l don't think they would have any parts for my 1997 toyota hilux any way l can get brand new parts for it l have a very good spare parts shop in the area l live in Sydney Australia
