Whilst waiting for the auto jumble to open, ducked into NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM for a look before the stampede began to find those bargains.  

Such great cars and so little time before the hunt for bargains start.  

A few photos of the cars I thought interesting including one of the few pieces of American tin that I would like to own.

The size of the BEAULIEU INTERNATIONAL AUTOJUMBLE makes finding the treasured part difficult, you can narrow it down somewhat by carefully reading the guide and plotting your way around the couple of thousand stalls or take plot luck and walk it from one end to the other.  From my list this year I could only manage one item - a MGA Twin Cam owners handbook.

I did like the Indian motorcycle but sanity prevailed.






The following is a selection of photos from some of the stalls










Supercharger anyone
