yellowbeast Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Has anybody been or heard about skipton auto jumble ? Thinking of going through but it's quite a trek so just wondered what you've heard/seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UdderlyOffroad Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It appears to be run by the same people as Newbury, in which case, if you have a shopping list it’s definitely worth going. If you need new bits – you would probably won’t get many savings over ordering online (even including postage). But if you need secondhand stuff – body panels, doors, dash pieces etc you can pick up a bargain. There’s also the social aspect – have met a couple of people at Newbury that I otherwise knew only online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy90 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm sure you will be spoilt for choice on that one ( depending on what type ya after ) I've gotta rustle up some "fine collectables" to sell there, but I'll mainly be sat in a chair chatting and making bacon rolls and cups of T :0)) Will have to have a quick stroll around "just in case " Ha Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftedDisco Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 @daisy90... You have just summed up my time at Newbury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was there, sold all my valuable junk and bought a few odds. Its not a bad jumble certainly better than brimham rocks towards the end. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I went, got there about 8.50 left about 9.30. It's just too small, there was nothing on my shopping list. On my way home I stopped off at Clitherore car boot, just for something to do really. Entry to that was 1.50 compared to 4 quid for skipton, and it was about 6 times bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 i went over too in the hope of finding some TD5 bits, as you say it seemed very small, not much in the way of defender spares. Most of the stalls seemed to be either the usual tools/oils/cleaning products vendors, or contained lots of older series vintage stuff. Some of the big traders had stands, i saw boltonbits and YRM there. That said, it was about half 11 i got there, oddly the website said it didnt open to the public until 10, so its interesting you got in at 8:50! Now i'm wondering if i should try and do newbury next weekend? Is that any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy-Novice Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 well after some cash arriving ( ) its penciled into the diary. i got quite a list of defender and series parts to get. i just hope its worth going, as it will be my first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ah ye, i've missread that! As you say 10am is for Newbury. From what i can tell, newbury is much larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been since it wasn't sodbury but I'd say it was probably as large as the whole of the skipton site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy90 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The first one after sodburys days was a little quiet, but has grown again since then, depending on weather I would reccomend a trip to Newburry for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKMobile Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Been there for the last 5 - 6 years running & have to say have always been pleased with the turn out & stuff purchased!!
