MORE THAN 25,000 people attended Beaulieu's International Autojumble sale.

The iconic event featured the biggest outdoor sale of motoring items, alongside a Nifty Fifties car display and a Bonhams sale. 

A special display for this year's show was the Nifty Fifties, bringing together a fascinating selection of classic vehicles dating from 1950 to 1959.Daily Echo: BeaulieuBeaulieu (Image: Beaulieu)

Among the vehicles on display was an exquisite Morris Oxford MO, a Vauxhall Cresta E-series, a Hillman Minx Series I, a Morris Mini-Minor, an ex-RAF Land Rover Series I, a pair of Wolseley 1500s, and an Austin A40 Somerset.

Over the sunny weekend, purchases were made and old friends and family members reunited. 

Buyers had a chance to scan through motoring treasures, essential tools, books and automobilia, to retro lifestyle items such as clothing, picnic sets, classic toy cars and more.

Familiar faces amongst the crowd were Youtuber and metalwork specialist from BBC TV show 'The Repair Shop' Dominic Chinea, who also joined in the search for bargains. Daily Echo: Jon RowsellJon Rowsell (Image: Beaulieu)

Stallholder Jon Rowsell won the Best Stand Award for his colourful stand and entertaining sales skills. 

Successfully attracting the passers-by, Jon's stand had items which ranged from tools, headlights, magazines, and toy cars, to retro uniforms, and even an aeroplane propeller.

On the award, Jon said: "I’ve always dabbled in selling old car bits, having started with classic Volkswagen parts and progressed to other cars over the years, but I’m relatively new to the autojumble business.

"Having always traded online but lived just eight miles up the road from Beaulieu, I started at International Autojumble last year.Daily Echo: Jon with Lord Montagu and Danny Hopkins.Jon with Lord Montagu and Danny Hopkins. (Image: Beaulieu's)

He added: "Last year, I realised that people come here to buy all sorts of retro items, not just car parts, so I have brought along quite a mix. 

"It might look like junk, but with vintage car parts, I find at Beaulieu that people are prepared to buy things to fix them up themselves."

This two-day event took place on September 10 and 11.

Beaulieu’s Spring and International Autojumbles will be returning in 2023, with the dates for next year’s events to be announced later this year.
