Porsche Auto Jumble

[mutt k]

There's an ad for a Porsche auto jumble in this month's 911 & PW on 1st October at Husborne Crawley in Beds.

Has anyone ever been to one of these? Is there likely to be anything worthwhile?

I've been to a few of these and you get the usual suspects turning up

ie

Essential Styling
Jasmine
Simon Butterworth
That interior specialist that I can't think of the name

It's situated in the field behind a pub which is quite handy as you can get some food at the pub.

If you take the missus and she is hankering after leaving after a couple of hours then Woburn is just down the road which is nice for a walk around etc.

That'll be Southbound. Actually it's better than 993 suggests - e.g. a good place to pick up clearance stock of Porsche Possessions stuff - either through the local OPC (at Hertford?) or through one of the parts specialists who seem to be good at collecting the stuff.

Worth the drive.

Fair enough! It's usually well attended so there will be a field full of other people's Porsches to look at as well as hunting for odd parts etc.

Plus October 1st is my birthday so noone can tell me I'm not going!

Didn't mean anything by that 993, it's just that your comments may have deterred someone who might be lookig for that elusive piece of trim that Russell Ward has knocking about in the back of his van, or that Magnesium RS wheel that Brian Goff has hidden under the front seat of his truck

I know. Email/internet is a s0d when it comes to interpretation. No offense taken at all!!

Anything likely in the way of Porsche memorabilia, or will it just be parts?

If s/bound are going I'd better not

Depends what you mean - a 356 hubcap or a signed Huschke von Hanstein cravat? You're likely to find the former there, but I'd wager that the only cravat you'll find will be the one round Josh Sadler's neck...
