autojumbles anyone?

[mrsm]

Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me the best autojumbles to go to for scooter parts? We went to Kempton Park yesterday but all we came away with was a big grin ;D

It was aimed at old Triumphs, Nortons etc and there were some lovely machines there, tons of unrecognisable (to me) bits (aparently the "rack" I was looking at was a subframe for a motorbike haha how dim?!!) oh and an old Contessa scoot! Oh no don't tell me I should've bought it! LOL

Thanks all, Mrs M

There are specific scooter parts fairs (usually advertised in Scootering mag and similar mags, and just finding ads surfing the net). Or you can find stalls at scooter rallies, all-dayers, weekenders, biggish ride-outs etc.

There's also your local scooter shop/supplier, then there's online scooter shops, plus that well know auction website (just don't over-bid!)

I'm sure there are dates that I haven't discovered yet, but this is one of them I have found...

May 13 - Manchester KW Parts Fair, George Carnall Leisure Centre, Davyhulme, Manchester M41 7JF. 0151 289 8201

15 April VMSC Custom Show, Sports Connexion Centre, Ryton-on-Dunsmore (nr Coventry)

28/29 April 27th International Classic Motorcycle Show at Stafford County Showground

29 April Lincoln Parts Fair, Grantham Meres Leisure Centre, Grantham, Lincs

20 May Jesters SC Scooterfest 3, Silk Street Arena, Leek, Staffs

10 June EMSA Parts Fair/Dealer Market, Charnwood Arms, Coalville, Leics

Few more to keep you going there.

Not forgetting the Peanut Duck Scooter parts fayre this Sunday 25th March in Milton Keynes, went to the last one, very, very busy, loads of stands..

[mrsm]

Hey Bryno, was it busy? We couldn't make it

I've remembered the one I was trying to, errrr, remember - I went to Ardingly years and years ago and it was brilliant. Not sure what it's like now, but found this info - not even sure if they do an autojumble there!

"Sunday 28th October: Classic Bike Show Please contact Julie Diplock on 01797 344277" but there's also "Sunday 4th November: Autojumblers Association. Please contact Mr Eric Morgan on 0208 7592711".

Better give them a ring and find out

[bryno]

Yep, it was pretty busy, though I managed to escape having only purchased a Piaggio tool roll

The one they have at same place in June is bigger, certainly worth a visit..

[mrsm]

Brilliant, will aim to give that one a try

Thanks Bryno! Mrs M
