I will go - but these days, the VBOA spares are getting more sparse of teh genuine bits and its mostly people selling their own tat...

Still worth a nosey though - as there are alkways some decent cars about:)

why not have a joint png stand, number label everything, and then take it in turns to run it....??

i did similar on a car boot sale some years back with 3 different sellers stuff, and we had a little book with item, number, price you hope to get, price you'll accept.... worked out very easy to run...

VBOA Spring Parts Day & Autojumble Date: Sunday 13 March 2011 Location: The Connexion Conference Centre, Leamington Road, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry, CV8 3FL Description: The annual unmissable pick of the very best of member's surplus stocks and hidden treasure troves plus professional auto jumblers. If you can't find it here then it probably doesn't exist!
Entry fees are pegged at last year's rate of just £3 per person, children under 12 free. Doors open at 10.00am and hot food and refreshments are available all day.
If you would like to take a pitch to sell your hidden treasures then simply download the form below and return to the address shown with a cheque made out to the VBOA. Again we will be using the main hall at the Connexion only, which was a great success last year and with pitch prices at the same level we are likely to have a repeat sell-out, so don't delay! Directions: The Sports Connexion is conveniently located on the junction of the A423 and A445 and just a few hundred metres from the A45 at the edge of Ryton-on-Dunsmore. CAUTION: The map link is innacurate (and many sat navs ditto) in that the Connexion is in the complex of white roads nearest the A445/A423 roundabout with the curving drive down to the venue. VBOA signs will be in place.

Last year it was very good.

Had to be careful about getting carried away though, I came away with 2 xe plug covers, a rocker and belt cover, 2 bucket seats, 284mm turbo brakes and some other parts.

Saw about 1500 digi dashes, and loads of old stuff too.

Not much nova, at all.

mowgli

unless a load of the png crowd makes it, it isn't the most earth shattering day out.. the stuff is amazing, but there isn't exactly a lot of it.

Drive up with us dude,

We have a one year on house party the night before, so think ill be in no fit state to drive on the Sunday!

Ive been the last few years, and last year i got my mk1 badges i needed (cheers Spud/Andy/Matt for calling me back) Have thought of doing a stand between me and a mate, but Ive sold allot of my stuff now over the last 18 months or so, Mowgli's idea is spot on!
