Preview: Beaulieu Autojumble, Hampshire, 7-8 September

The Beauliei Autojumble is now in its 47th year - and is bigger and better than ever. In 2012, a total of 38,500 visited the two day show, and this year promises to be even better, when it takes place on 7-8 September.

According to the organisers, the 2000 available stand spaces are much in demand, and expected to sell out quickly - so if you're looking to sell at the event, better get in quickly. As for those coming to browse, all the traditional elements of the International Autojumble will be present; visit the Automart where up to 200 vehicles will be on sale, from restoration projects to concours condition vehicles or take a look around the Dealermart, selling a range of classic cars.

You can also head over to Ringwood Brewery’s stand for a taste of their own cask beer. Making its debut as a show sponsor, Ringwood has been producing beautiful craft ales at its brewery on the edge of the New Forest since 1978 and the company’s four permanent ales – Best Bitter, Fortyniner, Old Thumper and Boondoggle – are favourites with New Forest residents.

On the Saturday, Bonhams auction house will be running its popular sale of collectors’ cars, motorcycles and automobilia. If you fancy bidding on an item or two please bear in mind that you can only gain entry with a catalogue available to purchase on tel. +44 (0)207 393 3900.

Sunday will see the opening of Trunk Traders, where amateur autojumblers will be selling surplus motoring items from their car boots. This is a great place to find hidden motoring gems at bargain prices, so don’t miss it! Alternatively, if you need to clear space in your garage, why not book a place in Trunk Traders for yourself?

Admission to Beaulieu on both days will be from 8.30am, when programmes will be available to purchase and visitors will be able to access the National Motor Museum, toilets, and Brabazon Restaurant, where breakfast will be served. The event will open from 10am – 5pm on Saturday, and from 9.30am–4.30pm on Sunday. On the day inclusive ticket prices are one day adult, £14.50 (Sat), £13.00 (Sun), one day child, £9.00 (Sat), and £8.70 (Sun), less if purchased in advance online at www.beaulieushop.co.uk until 5 September, and by telephone on +44 (0)1590 612888 until 7 September.
