Beaulieu Autojumble pops up to London

To celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the legendary Beaulieu Autojumble, there will be a ‘pop-up’ autojumble at this year’s London Classic Car Show on 25-26 February. The event, which is held at Excel, will feature 60 stalls selling all kinds of car parts and motoring memorabilia.

So whether you’re missing an issue of a motoring magazine, looking for a hard-to-find part for your classic car, or just something a little bit different, you might be able to find it at the London show.

‘Beaulieu created the autojumble movement 50 years ago and we are very excited to have the very first Beaulieu Pop-up Autojumble at the London Classic Car Show, the first time it has left Hampshire. It underlines how significant our show has become in the classic car world,’ said event director, Bas Bungish.

The Beaulieu Pop-Up Autojumble will be held on the Saturday and Sunday of the London show and will be staged next to Car Club Square, which will be packed with classic cars owned by members of the country’s leading one-make clubs.

Sixty of Beaulieu's regular stall holders will be at the London Classic Car show.

Visitors to the show are also promised a huge variety of classic machinery, ranging from early veterans to supercars, many of which will be put through their paces inside the halls of Excel. The show’s centrepiece – The Grand Avenue, a motoring catwalk inside the central hall – will play host to 50 of the world’s most desirable classics.

Entry to the show also gives entry to a sister exhibition, the inaugural Historic Motorsport International, which is being held in an adjacent hall at ExCeL. Devoted to all aspects of historic racing and rallying, among the celebrations at HMI will be the 50^th anniversaries of both the all-conquering Ford Cosworth DFV Grand Prix engine and the birth of Formula Ford.

The London Classic Car Show and the Historic Motorsport Show will be held at ExCeL London, on 23-26 February, with access to both shows included in the entry price. Historic Motorsport International will open its doors at 12pm on Thursday, 23 February, while the London Classic Car Show will burst into life at 3pm that afternoon.

Tickets are now available from the show website – thelondonclassiccarshow.co.uk - and start at £24 for single adult entry (£27 on the door on the day).
