While the dew still lies across the rolling fields, the first tents begin to open. Gradually, the smell of diesel engines gives way to that of freshly cooked bacon. This is ‘Beaulieu’ as we know it.
This morning, Saturday, the gates opened to visitors. Many stands, however, had already been set up on Friday morning, making this traditionally the moment when the first bargains are unearthed. We too have already bought several things we did not know we needed beforehand, but which instantly convinced us the moment we saw them. Whether we shall still feel the same way once we are back home on Monday remains to be seen…
On our own stand, the Poncin VP2000 has been attracting plenty of attention from the outset. With both propellers proudly raised, that is hardly surprising. We hope to give a demonstration on the water later this weekend, although we do not yet know whether that will actually be possible.
We also have a pair of motorised tricycles: one for her and one for him. Well, there is still some work to do before the man can drive it but if you are not able to dream... autojumbles might not be the right place for you.
We hope to welcome you to the International Autojumble this weekend. The event runs until Sunday, 13 September. Admission costs just £15 and also includes entry to the National Motor Museum and Little Beaulieu.
You will find us at stand G338/339. See you in Beaulieu!
