Beaulieu Autojumble 2023
The first day at the 2023 Beaulieu Autojumble has been a pleasure for visitors and exhibitors alike. Under warm, sunny skies, thousands of old-car enthusiasts have been passing the time hunting for that vital part needed to complete their restoration project, rummaging through attractive items of automobilia with which to furnish their home or garage, and socialising with friends over a refreshing beer or two. As ever, there are all sorts of things for all manner of enthusiasts, from Victorian ordinary bicycles to sales brochures for forgotten vintage light cars. Here on the PreWarCar.com stand, we've already found a buyer for an early De Dion single-cylinder engine and have had crowds of admirers for our 1904 Otto, especially when we've fired it up.
Thirties thoroughbreds for sale
The cars for sale section is always a highlight, and this year you could walk away with such delights as a small 1939 Armstrong Siddeley saloon which runs and drives but needs light restoration, a patinated 1930 Austin Seven Chummy, a very rare 1932 Morris Major, a 1936 Alvis Speed 20 tourer by Cross & Ellis with a lot of history and a very useable 1938 MG VA tourer.
Around the stands, there are all sorts of things to see, from veteran cars to home-built specials, and from superchargers to entire engines. The atmosphere is wonderful, the items for sale are fascinating and everyone's having a good time. If you're coming along for a look, don't forget to visit our stand at G338, G339 and G340.
Sunday, 4.30 p.m.
After another day of teeming activity, the Beaulieu Autojumble is drawing to a close with the sun still high in the sky. Having had an early start, we were able to explore the site fully, visiting the stands and chatting to the people we didn't quite have time to catch up with yesterday. All the walking around proved very rewarding; today we discovered a beautiful 1933 MG J2, wearing a delightfully scruffy coat of paint from 1953, reasonably priced at £22,500, and an extremely rare 1903 Royal Sovereign motorcycle, made by the London Machinists' Company. Restored to a high standard 12 years ago, it has made very few public appearances since.
While we resisted the temptation to take either of them back to the PreWarCar.com headquarters, we will be returning home with some nice new automobilia with which to furnish our garage. It's been an enjoyable weekend with business and pleasure combining most agreeably, and we're looking forward to hopefully meeting some of you again next year.

What is the vehicle in the below photo please? It looks like a very well executed special, but what is the motor?

It's a 9.8-litre Sturtevant V8 aero engine from the Great War, mounted in a 1931 Auburn 8-98 chassis.

You have a delightful email newsletter. I always try to skim it, but at 80 I try not to buy too much.
Your mention, below, of a 1933 MG reminds me of being in high school in Wisconsin. My family had bought a 1952 MG TD with a Ford tractor four-cylinder engine, Merc. three-speed transmission and overdrive. I have painted it a beautiful red, my mom has sewn up beautiful Naugahyde seat covers in light yellow.
At a car show at a large shopping center in about 1958 or so, my friends and I had entered the MGs and other cars.
Then a young lady in high school parked an old MG behind mine. I look at it with tiny tires and a lump sticking out the front of it and thought, oh what an old thing. It's not even shiny. The young woman comes up to me and says it is her dad's car and he wants to sell it. I may be wrong but my memory is she said he wanted $600 or so. I thought that is too much for that OLD thing.
I looked it over and tried to figure out what that big lump sticking out of the front of the radiator was. Stupid, conceited macho old me.
Years later when I learned more about MG and autos I realized that her dad's old car she had driven to the show was a late '20s or early '30s MG with a supercharger sticking out the front.
Now I read that you all saw one for only 22,500 pounds which is about $28,600. If her Dad had wanted to sell it for $600 that would be about $6,300 or £2,300 today. I have often thought "Buzz, how could you have missed buying that "old MG"????
Peace!
