THE BEAULIEU AUTOJUMBLERS’ NEWSLETTER Spring 2018
Record bookings as show roars into life To celebrate 50 years of the International Autojumble, crowds gathered for the start-up of the National Motor Museum’s Lotus 49, built in the same year the first autojumble was held. Lord Montagu and Museum Manager and Chief Engineer Doug Hill introduced the legendary F1 racing car, which was famously campaigned by champion Graham Hill. The sole surviving 1967 Lotus team car, it is one of the most iconic racers of its generation. The assembled crowd were thrilled when the Lotus’ 2993cc V8 engine roared into life, demonstrating its brutal noise and distinctive exhaust note. Spectators were part of a crowd of more than 34,000 motoring enthusiasts from across the world who turned out for the anniversary autojumble. As many as 2,341 stands were packed with elusive classic car spare parts, motoring accessories, literature and automobilia for a busy weekend of trading on September 2nd and 3rd. Not even Sunday’s rain which followed Saturday’s sunshine could dampen the spirits of the dedicated bargain-hunters, who searched for good quality treasure at Trunk Traders. Beaulieu Events Manager Judith Maddox said: “It felt like a very busy Saturday with a lovely festival atmosphere, as visitors enjoyed the sunshine and trading continued well into the afternoon.
The Automart was packed with temptations for any enthusiast looking to buy a classic—and even those who weren’t! The 146 cars on offer included the automotive star of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. film, an unusual East German 1964 Wartburg 311 which was priced at £7,250. While £5,995 would have bought a striking 1963 Humber Sceptre Mk1. Pre-war cars that were snapped up within minutes included a 1926 Morris Cowley and a much smaller but equally charming 1930s Austin Seven Ruby. Another pre-war car on offer was a part-restored luxury Continued overleaf...
“We were pleased with the trial of a popular new entry system and will continue with that again next year. Bookings at the show for the 2018 International Autojumble also reached a record level.”
Gold win Beaulieu is celebrating winning the top gold accolade for the 50th International Autojumble in Tourism South East’s Beautiful South Awards, marking this landmark event as the best example of excellence in tourism. Winning the coveted top title in the category of Tourism Event/ Festival of the Year was particularly apt for the gold-themed event. Beaulieu Events Manager Judith Maddox said: “We are thrilled to have won this very special gold award for our gold-themed 50th International Autojumble, in the face of stiff competition. As our longest-running and best-loved event, the autojumble is close to the hearts of thousands of motoring enthusiasts across the world who make their annual pilgrimage to Beaulieu to take part.” Beaulieu Commercial Director Stephen Munn said: “Winning gold makes us very proud, as it not only recognises the boost that the International Autojumble gives to the New Forest economy but also the loyalty of exhibitors and visitors who come back every year. It is a must on the motoring calendar.”
Best stands turn heads at International
Continued from front page... American 1934 Hudson Teraplane Six Drop Head Foursome Coupe which was priced at £9,000. No less than three classic Volvos—a 1967 Amazon saloon, 1970 145 estate and a 1973 144 saloon—were up for grabs along with two Bristols, a 1952 401 and 1965 408. An immaculate 1965 Morris Mini Cooper S was on sale at £34,995, while a rare 1960 Triumph Herald coupe was on offer for a tenth of that price.
A stand packed with parts for Austin Sevens won the Best Stand award which was presented to Mark Cocklin and David Wilkinson. In autojumble camaraderie fashion, Mark and David were also taking care of the stand which had been held for 10 years by their neighbours, who were unable to attend because of illness. They packed their plot with everything a Seven fanatic could need, from engine spares, wheels and chassis, to a Chummy body and even a complete 1930s Austin Seven Ruby.
A range of high-quality vehicles, from sports cars to limousines, was also showcased by classic car traders at Dealermart. Not for sale but an impressive sight was the Morgan Sports Car Club’s shining display of some of the best classic and modern examples.
Clockmaker Mark said: “This show is about the buying and selling but also the socialising and doing the right thing by helping other classic car owners to get the parts they need. It’s a way of life!” The Best Quirky Stand was awarded to top hat-clad John Keith, whose Airstream Bambi caravan stand was laden with unusual spare parts as well as a selection of novelty hats. John said: “I came to the first ever International Autojumble when I was only 21 and have been coming back ever since. Back then, there were farmers just throwing veteran car parts in the back of their trucks to be sold. I became a seller later and love this international corner of Yellow Field to sell in.” Both sets of winners were presented with their awards and a Ringwood Brewery hamper by Lord Montagu and Lolly Lee, who donated the trophy in memory of her late father and autojumbler Terry Lee.
Also on show was media sponsor Practical Classics magazine’s Ford Model T rebuild project, which is nearing completion. Magazine Technical Editor Sam Glover drove straight to the show from Moscow in the Russian ZAZ Zaporozhets he had collected and worked on. Equally popular with visitors was show sponsor Ringwood Brewery’s offer of a taste of cask beer straight from the awardwinning New Forest brewery. Plans are already underway for Beaulieu’s 2018 International Autojumble which will take place on September 1st–2nd.

Star lots at Bonhams A unique collection of rare finds saw 128 historic cars, 17 motorcycles and 313 automobilia lots go under the hammer at Bonhams sale, which reached a total of £3,271,000. Turning heads was a stunning aero-engine 1921 Napier Blue Bird Homage built in the spirit of Malcolm Campbell’s Land Speed Record breaker. Selling for £264,700, this unique creation captured the pioneering spirit of the early record-breakers, with its 24-litre W12 Napier Lion aero engine. Another auction highlight was a replica of the 1885 Daimler Reitwagen, the first ‘modern’ motorcycle and built out of wood, which sold for £7,762. Very different but equally fascinating was a rare early Austin Mini Seven dating from 1959 but in need of careful renovation, which reached a staggering £18,975 and smashed its £5,000–£7,000 estimate.
What’s new for 2018 New rally joins events line-up Building on the success of Beaulieu’s record-breaking Simply season, a new rally and extra features have been added to the 2018 calendar. By popular demand, the first Simply Audi event will take place at Beaulieu on Sunday April 29th, when owners of the popular marque can gather in the grounds of the National Motor Museum and meet like-minded enthusiasts. In the 70th anniversary year of the Land Rover, Beaulieu will also add the new feature of Simply Rummage to its popular Simply Land Rover event on Sunday June 24th. Beaulieu Events Manager Judith Maddox said: “At the request of owners and enthusiasts’ groups, we are pleased to announce the addition of Simply Audi to our range of popular Simply events. We are looking forward to attracting big numbers in its first year.” “Our Simply season has grown from strength to strength in 2017, with many of this year’s events breaking previous records, and we hope to build on that again next year. “In the 70th year of the Morris Minor, we are looking forward to welcoming back the Morris Minor Owners’ Club with a display at Spring Autojumble. Bringing plenty of summer fun and a Vintage Village will be the colourful Hot Rod & Custom Drive-In Day and Simply VW, for a retro-themed Father’s Day weekend.”
Winging it What do you do when you don’t have an umbrella? When the rain set in on the last day of International Autojumble, one show-goer ingeniously repurposed a pair of MGB front wings to create a makeshift tepee. Necessity is certainly the mother of invention!
Beaulieu will launch its 2018 Simply Season with Simply Aston Martin on April 8th, followed by Simply Audi on April 29th, the biggest Simply event Simply Ford on May 6th and Simply Porsche on June 3rd. Simply VW, sponsored by Breeze Volkswagen Group, will be part of Father’s Day weekend celebrations on June 16th, followed by Simply Land Rover with its new feature on June 24th, Simply Jaguar on July 8th, the popular Simply Japanese on July 29th and finishing with Simply Smart on November 11th.

Film anniversary for Veteran Bus The Veteran Bus, an iconic feature of the Beaulieu attraction and a favourite with visitors from across the globe, marks the 40th anniversary this year of its star turn in the 1978 film The Thirty-Nine Steps.
Sunbeam 1000hp restoration In the 90th anniversary year of Major Henry Segrave’s 1927 World Land Speed Record, more progress has been made with the restoration of the National Motor Museum’s Sunbeam 1000hp. The focus of the project has been to breathe new life into one of the iconic car’s colossal V12 engines. Treasures found at Beaulieu’s International Autojumble have helped with the restoration of the Sunbeam 1000hp. Work has continued throughout the last year, including making the engine’s two carburettors fit for purpose again, making new distributors and non-return valves for the air-start system, fitting new hose clips which were found at the autojumble and repainting the engine exterior. After decades of sitting idle, the carburettors that serve the Sunbeam’s rear engine were seized, coated in grime and in need of careful restoration. Each has been stripped down, carefully cleaned and inspected for signs of wear, before its components were deemed fit for further service.
During one of the movie’s most dramatic moments, when Robert Powell’s character is hanging from the Houses of Parliament’s Big Ben clock tower, our Veteran Bus can be seen transporting Edwardian passengers around London’s streets. It also made an appearance in 1975’s Love Among the Ruins, starring Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier. It may be an impressive replica of a 1912 London General Omnibus, but the Veteran Bus was built six decades later in 1973 to run at the newly-opened National Motor Museum. Its period-perfect double-decker body was constructed by S.J. Mitchell, a builder of vehicles for films, while its chassis, running gear and six-cylinder diesel engine are from a contemporary Ford K-Series truck.
Serious thought was required for the engine’s air-start mechanism. Air starting is normally used for very large capacity, low-revving engines when an electric starter motor wouldn’t be powerful enough. It works by forcing pressurised air via a distributor into each cylinder which, in turn, forces down the pistons and turns the engine over fast enough to fire it up. When the Sunbeam 1000hp arrived at Beaulieu in 1958, its air-start system was incomplete, with the distributors which control the supply of air to each cylinder long gone, as were a number of the non-return valves which should have been fitted to the cylinders. Tracking down replacements was an impossible task, meaning that new ones have had to be expertly made. An air-start distributor borrowed from a rare Sunbeam Aero engine displayed by the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust, Derby, was used as the pattern for a specialist. New distributors have been created and precisely machined to fit. The non-return valves for the cylinders have also been re-made, along with the high pressure air lines that supply them. Although great strides have been made, a project such as this cannot be rushed. Further specialist machining work and careful preparation is still required for some of the components before the engine can be reassembled—and further funding is needed before that can happen. A restoration fundraising appeal is not currently planned for the Sunbeam 1000hp but if you are keen to help with funding support, please get in touch at pr@beaulieu.co.uk. This marathon engine rebuild isn’t over yet but at some point in the future, the Sunbeam 1000hp will roar again.

During almost half a century of service transporting visitors around Beaulieu, the Veteran Bus has been kept in fine fettle by the museum’s engineers, with upgrades to its brakes, steering and body structure. In 1995, the worn-out original engine was replaced with a new, oldstock unit originally destined to power a diesel generator. Fitted with a heavier duty crankshaft, this six-litre engine is slowrevving, but ideally suited to the demands of low-speed passenger carrying. It may not be fast, but the Veteran Bus is fully road legal and driven to and from its annual MOT test. With no windscreen, a warm coat is always essential for the driver!

London to Brighton Beaulieu and the Montagu family have a long tradition of taking part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the longest-running motoring event in the world. 2017 was the first year for Emily to make herself part of that history.
First female workshop apprentice appointed The National Motor Museum has appointed a new apprentice as an investment in the future of its historic vehicle collection, at a time when few specialist workshops are taking on trainees. New apprentice Emily Leese, aged 18, has joined the museum’s experienced workshop team to help maintain and restore its collection of more than 250 historic vehicles. A young woman in an industry traditionally dominated by older men, Emily’s training will help to keep alive the essential skills needed to look after and preserve the museum’s remarkable machines. When she completes her apprenticeship, Emily will become the first to do so since Museum Manager and Chief Engineer Doug Hill finished his apprenticeship 40 years ago. Classic car fanatic Emily, who has been a volunteer at the National Motor Museum since the age of 14, is starting a four-year apprenticeship which is being generously funded by a small group of Beaulieu One Hundred members, committed to supporting the work of the National Motor Museum Trust. Emily’s training will be overseen by apprenticeship provider Heritage Skills Academy, as part of its Heritage Engineering Apprenticeships programme, tailored to the specialist automotive restoration industry. Spending most of her time based in the museum workshop at Beaulieu to gain vital hands-on experience, Emily will also study the skills of the trade with Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist P&A Wood in Essex as block release study, working towards Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Classic Vehicle Restoration. Funding for this block release part of her training will be covered by the Automotive Apprentice Bursary awarded by the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London, a charitable association which promotes excellence in the automotive, aerospace and rail industries. National Motor Museum Manager and Chief Engineer Doug Hill said: “I was the last apprentice to complete my training here at the National Motor Museum 40 years ago, so it makes me exceptionally proud to offer this opportunity to a new recruit.” Emily said: “It’s good fun being in the workshop and getting involved. I think I fit in quite well so far and all of the guys have been really good. They’re a welcoming bunch, so I definitely feel like part of the team and I’m really enjoying working here. “I get involved in whatever projects are being worked on, from cleaning and polishing to putting things back together. I don’t know why I love cars so much but I have ever since I was about three-years-old. Fixing things is my passion. I was always playing with toy cars when I was a child and wanted to be an AA lady! Even then, I decided that I wanted to have the knowledge to fix a broken-down car.”
Not only did she help to prepare the four veteran cars being driven in the London event but she was a key member of the National Motor Museum’s vehicle support team. The museum’s 1903 De Dion Bouton 6hp, one of Edward, Lord Montagu’s first historic vehicles which started the collection at Beaulieu, was driven by Lord Montagu’s sister and the High Sheriff of Hampshire Mary Montagu-Scott and her husband Rupert Scott. Beaulieu’s 1904 De Dion Bouton 6hp and 1903 Daimler 22hp also tackled the 60-mile run, along with the 1899 Fiat 3.5hp which can usually be seen on display in the museum. In preparation, Emily serviced the wheel bearings of the 1904 De Dion and adjusted the valves of the 1903 Daimler’s engine under the watchful eye of the museum engineers. She also worked with the workshop team changing lubricants, greasing and adjusting mechanisms and fastidiously cleaning all of the cars’ paraffinfuelled lamps. The 1899 FIAT required more extensive preparation. The workshop team constructed a new ignition system for the car’s two-cylinder engine.
Special arrival The National Motor Museum’s engineers each have their own chest, filled with the essential tools they need to look after historic vehicles. As the newest member of the workshop team, Emily has taken delivery of her own special chest, which has been generously donated by Draper Tools. “It was like Christmas when it arrived,” said Emily, “at first others would cheekily borrow tools from it, but I think I’ve got them all back now!”
After spending all day working on old machinery, Emily drives home in her own modern classic, a Rover 100—the later incarnation of the successful Austin Metro. “Along with the Morris Minor, it’s one of my favourite cars. I really wanted a classic as my first car and I found this one for sale on the Internet. It’s really cute and I just fell in love with it. I’ve not had to do anything to it yet, although a hole in the exhaust will need sorting out soon.” To follow Emily’s story, read the Workshop Apprentice blog at beaulieu.co.uk/news.

Carvings take root If you go down to the Mill Pond Walk, you’re sure of a big surprise… with magical tree carvings including a green man, treetop griffin and many-headed serpent on the banks of the Beaulieu River. Skilfully carved by expert wood carver Paul Sivell using old oak trees rooted in the grounds of the Montagu ancestral family home of Palace House, these incredible sculptures could have stepped out of the pages of a story book.
Bessie brings Doctor Who to Beaulieu Doctor Who’s much-loved car Bessie, which was a favourite with millions of viewers in the Seventies, has been put on show in On Screen Cars at the National Motor Museum. The Earth-based transport for Jon Pertwee’s third Doctor was a bright yellow vintage car replica which starred in many episodes of the cult sci-fi show across two decades. Bessie was fitted with space-age modifications fit for the Doctor’s adventures, including remote control which allowed him to drive her from a distance as well as an anti-theft force-field. The Siva Edwardian, built on the chassis of a 1954 Ford Popular, first appeared in the Doctor Who and the Silurians episode in 1970 when the Doctor was stranded on planet Earth and exiled by the Time Lords without the use of his TARDIS. With a need to stay mobile in his fight against monsters and villains, the Doctor adopted Bessie as his four-wheeled transport. Even when a new car, the Whomobile, appeared on set as a dramatic winged creation, Bessie remained essential for tackling such foes as humanoids, giant spiders, intelligent reptiles and the hypnotic Master. Tom Baker drove Bessie in his first episode in 1974, using the car to help defeat a giant robot. After a hiatus, the car reappeared in 1983 in The Five Doctors, when Peter Davison’s Doctor encountered four other versions of himself. Dusted down for another adventure with Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor in Battlefield in 1989, Bessie’s last hurrah on the small screen came in 1993 with the charity special episode Dimensions in Time. Bessie may look like a vintage car but in reality is a 1954 Ford Popular 103E, fitted with a fibreglass tourer body made by Siva Engineering of Dorset. However, the original 1172cc side-valve engine was low-powered and, together with the widely-spaced ratios of the threespeed gearbox, meant that Bessie was not a fast machine. Later on in her filming life, Bessie was fitted with a larger engine which required the nose of the car to be lengthened. Bessie joins the line-up of motoring stars in On Screen Cars at Beaulieu, which includes Del Boy’s Reliant Regal Supervan from Only Fools and Horses, Mr Bean’s lime green Mini and Rupert Grint’s flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
David Jason’s Secret Service Sir David Jason recently went under cover for filming at Palace House for his new series of David Jason’s Secret Service. Sir David interviewed Noreen Riols, one of the last survivors who worked with the Special Operations Executive (SOE) at Beaulieu helping to test agents before they were dropped behind enemy lines. Noreen had travelled from her home in France to take part in the More4 programme.

The characterful green man, which has been carved from a live oak and uses the tree’s green leaves as his hat, is one of three stunning carvings which have recently brought to life ancient mythical creatures. His painstakingly sculpted face and beard are complimented by the walking stick in his hand, while he supports a wooden squirrel, black and white woodpecker and red-breasted robin. Visitors shared their suggestions to name the green man via Beaulieu’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and Lord Montagu chose the final name Querky Quercus from more than 70 suggestions. A tree-top griffin also marks the start of the Mill Pond Walk, welcoming visitors to Beaulieu. The magnificent beast—with the wings, head and talons of an eagle and the body, tail and legs of a lion—is the heraldic creature which supports the Montagu family’s coat of arms. Visitors riding on the Monorail have a high-level view of this remarkable sculpture. Look out for more carvings in 2018.

Collections award for Trust The National Motor Museum Trust was delighted to win the Collections Trust Award 2017 for its Keep Calm and STEAM Ahead project. The award recognises the achievements of those behind the scenes who manage museum collections. This prestigious accolade was awarded by the Collections Trust, an independent UK-based charity that works with museums, libraries, galleries and archives to improve the management and use of collections. The theme for the award was Pulling Together and the prize was £2,000 to be spent on collections management.
The Big Five at InterClassics The five leading motor museums of Europe recently joined forces for a ground-breaking display at InterClassics Brussels, showcasing some of their most prestigious vehicles. The big five, presenting Europe’s national motor museums was the show’s main theme, with the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu sharing a joint display with Autoworld Museum Brussels of Belgium, the Louwman Museum of the Netherlands, the Cité de l’Automobile/Schlumpf Collection of France and Museo dell’Automobile of Italy.
Andrea Bishop, Director of Collections for the National Motor Museum, said: “The Keep Calm and STEAM Ahead project has been aptly named, since it has challenged us to change the way we work and manage collections behind the scenes, standardising practice to improve the exchange of ideas and information. We are now beginning to see the benefits of that legacy for our audiences and I am grateful to Arts Council England for having confidence in the value of this project for the museum and its users.” Keep Calm and STEAM Ahead has been made possible by a successful bid to the Arts Council England Designation Development Fund, which awarded £72,800 for the National Motor Museum Trust to improve access to collections information and develop a range of fun creative educational activities to explore magical mechanisms. The project builds on the Museum’s Education Service and supports education programmes linked to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
The five museum directors met at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu and proudly announced the masterpieces they had chosen for the display. Each museum selected one pre-war classic originating from its home country, as well as one racing car and one vehicle that typified the museum. Beaulieu was proud to put on show the 1930 4½ litre supercharged Blower Bentley, which is one of the museum’s most popular and active vehicles. It was especially poignant after a rebuild of the Blower Bentley’s four-cylinder engine put it back on the road. Montagu family favourite, the Rolls-Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost was the second car put on show by Beaulieu. It is one of the most famous cars ever built and started life in 1909 as chassis number 939 supplied to Colonel Ferguson of Boughty Ferry, Dundee. The RollsRoyce underwent several transformations before being rediscovered and put on show by Edward, Lord Montagu at Beaulieu. The third Beaulieu star of the show was the legendary Lotus 49 which marked its 50th year in 2017. The F1 car, which was built in 1967 with chassis number 3, was famously campaigned by Graham Hill and is one of the most iconic racers of its generation. Its 2993cc V8 engine was always sure to impress show-goers. Beaulieu Commercial Director Stephen Munn said: “We are proud to be one of the leading motor museums in Europe and to have been part of this amazing display of some of the most iconic and legendary vehicles in the world.”
A creative take on STEAM, using an Automotive Steampunk theme, included Arts University Bournemouth students making a collection of costumes which were inspired by the museum’s iconic vehicles. Behind the scenes, the project has extended the use of Axiell’s Calm collections management system at the museum and supported research on little-used parts of the vast collections, including technical material held in the Motoring Reference Library and Object Collection. This is unlocking a wealth of material, making it accessible to the wider public for the first time.
Family panto rehearsals New for Christmas at Beaulieu this year were Montagu family panto rehearsals which took place on-stage in Palace House. Visitors could watch the family, played by costumed actors, as they prepared for Christmas and New Year festivities in 1889. The play was based on a 19th century Mummers’ script and gave an insight into how people created their own entertainment before the electronic age. Visitors were invited to be part of the seasonal tomfoolery as one of the Victorian Christmas activities.
