I went a couple of yrs ago, its a cracking show, was hoping to go this year too but am working over the easter period, I wanted to have a good look round the auto jumble again, next year I suppose, saying that theres a classic show in Stafford in October as well I beleive, enjoy it.

First time to this jumble but I will be going on Sunday as I have to take my bike for mot sat. :pray:
Started going to autojumbles last year when my dad brought a BSA A65 and I needed parts to rebuild carbs. Never realised how much is still out there. With the NC24 project I am going to as many as I can.
Shame as I would have liked to meet some other 400 bikers.
Happy shopping

didnt take many pics, was enjoying, the company, weather, and BIKES!
was a fantastic show for me as ive never been before didnt spend much but cant wait for the next one in sept. im definately going :D

but this was worthy of a PIC,

WTF is this engine, its a 2 Stroke, with ARMSTONG on the case, how does that engine work and what type of engine is it, its like a reverse inline 2C? but i guess the crank gear would need to transverse for the gear box, someone on here must know.

That Armstrong engine is a tandem twin. Armstrong were pretty big in the world of racing throughout the 70's and 80's. Rotax and Kawasaki used a similar engine configuration back then, in fact Kawasaki made the KR250 road bike which was a tandem twin.
