well had a run down to beaulieu for the spring autojumble and was very suprised, tr7 parts for sale!!!! on more than one stall too!

rear bumper, pair of dhc doors, a bonnet, boot, repair panels and a sheet down with various bits all five quid and under! very suprised to see them there, usually i go to autojumbles and there are rarely parts for our cars anywhere in sight.....

was a good day out, as ticket in allows access to abbey motor museum and top gear displays too. may even go back for the september one....[:D]

Roy & I went there on the Saturday, we got quite a lot of decent (if grubby) bits off that guy with the parts on the groundsheet.

I still wish there was more TR7 bits around.
It just seemed stuffed with MG spares to me.

Did get a few nice bits at a decent price so can't grumble that much.

The September show is normally a much bigger event and is the best one to go too.

Woud be nice to see a few TR7's in the car park and perhaps then the traders may start bringing some TR7 spares along.

I'll be going in September as I only live 15 minutes up the road.

It's a long walk if you don't get there early and the September show is even worse. That's a good idea to meet up perhaps in the cars for sale car park at a pre arranged time for a chat.

Funny though I don't think many of the local Southampton guys bother going as you never know what could turn up. I did see John's Grinnal in the car park one year though.

same as the autojumble at shepton, i dont think that attended by too many local to it but always the chance of finding something, i walked round the one part at beaulieu stuffed full of old engines and greasy bits, went round just for the smell, like an old fashioned scrap yard,........sad or what........ used to be a good scrappy just outside cheltenham, no idea if it still there, anyone local know one i'm on about?
