Classic car fanciers will continue their not-so-private love affair over Valentine’s Day weekend, at a specially-themed event.
If you’re old enough to remember the mid-1960s, then you’re old enough to remember that much of British youth was polarised into two groups; the rockers and the mods.
It was an era of leather jackets, suits and Parkas; of motorbikes and scooters; of rock ‘n’ roll, ska and beat music; of greasy spoon cafe stop-offs and dodgy haircuts, and seaside resort skirmishes.
Next month the sixth edition of The Footman James Great Western Autojumble will offer a nostalgic celebration of that culture in the Somerset town of Shepton Mallet.
Yes, the rockers and the mods provide the new theme for this year’s bargain hunters’ Aladdin’s Cave of auto-bargains.
So what’s on offer?
- Bargain buys from various autojumble sellers and industry traders. Perhaps you can get that elusive restoration part you’ve hunted high and low for?
- Charterhouse Auction’s exclusive sale.
- A special theme of mods and rockers, so why not get into the party sprit and dress up?
- You can see cars showcased in the showground’s main hall featuring classics from the early 1970s, 1960s and 1950s
