Good morning. I fully concur with Tony Betts' comments. I used to do 5+ autojumbles per year but now other than the Centenary event wont be doing any unless my son can convince me to change my mind about Beaulieu in September.
Profit was never my overriding principle, I was happy to break even. The key feature was the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and for potential purchasers to see what they are buying (I have been disappointed with many on-line buys). The opportunity to offer advice and the number of follow-up calls made it worthwhile. Autojumbles also offered the opportunity for me to buy lamps and parts for re-furbishment but increasingly I was not finding anything.
So, like Tony I am devoting my time to working on my own cars.
Regards from the creative county - Staffordshire.
