Well , sold my 1959 Mango ;) also my 1965 puck ;) .

Then i bought duluxe trim with new clips ,

Then gave a Deposit for my New Toy a 1971 poptop Westy, :D ,

So back to EARLYBAY FOR ME :mrgreen:
 
I spent most of my money on stuff that didnt exist ....

A deposit on one thing that hasnt been made yet.
A ticket/pass for Brighton Breeze.

:?

Still, I picked up a couple of trinkets - another og deluxe winder handle, a 70 onwards long necked rear view mirror stalk and a 'Double Cola' bottle which goes with my cooler box - nice find, that!

:)
 
I didn't go this year, but last year I picked up a Danbury cushion which was almost like new, for £3. I don't think the stall-holder recognized where it was from, or he'd had it for a while and was wanting shot of it, as I would have expected to pay more for an original in such good condition! :D
 
Bought myself a Khyam Motordome Sleeper awning c/w Annex & a ground sheet thrown in foc 8)
Also got 2 x rear lenses & a camper cook book for Helen :lol:
Andy
 
Was a disapointing weekend as didnt see much that i wanted but got the following:

VW front badge
New single point ariel
engine bay door seal

was going to get some chrome hubcaps but all were a bag of sh#te, they were already rusting on all the stalls and they wanted £40 for 4 otherwise i did see some original VW ones but they were £35 each so didnt bother.

Wanted some Westy interior stuff but i think our plan on hitting the trade area at 9am was put paid to by over indulgence in a cider or two on friday night :(
