ferrettkitt Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Who is making the trip to Stoneleigh this year from all accounts even more traders than before are attending so hopefully more like the Stoneleighs of old Commander Me I'm going this time. I would like Stoneleigh to be how it was in the past but I can't see that happening.

sirhc Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 What is Stoneleigh like in terms of availability of AFV spares rather than Jeeps or Land Rovers etc.? Andy I've found next to nothing in the last 5 years or so, but like Tim I go to catch up with people I've not seen for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There is very little to actually buy there, but that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Most of the deals r done beforehand saves on postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 With the overseas dealers coming over and selling there is always goodies to be had to be honest that is how I got into this game the fun was rooting through the stuff under the tables for sale Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antar Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nothing there for me over the last few years, just an opportunity to catch up with friends and have a chat. Its ok if you are interested in guns and dressing up in 40s gear and uniform. Went last year to specifically buy a Sterling for my CET but absolutely no one had one for sale.

singaeger Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 just to put in into context, its not just the militaria events that are suffering from a lack of Military vehicle parts. three years ago went to Beighleigh auto jumble. collected lots of Dingo & DAC parts, carbs, new distrubutors, enngine parts, cess kit, etc. (the dealers on a whole did not know what it was off) went back this year. Spent all day rumaging around and found very very little indeed. Iether the dealers didnt bring what they had, or i had cleared out what they had three years ago. Sadly finding stuff is only going to get harder for all Historic Military Vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I will be there, if only to gauge prices of kit as well as laugh at some prices ! I always end up chatting to all my friends and contacts as I wander round, Normally get a few deals done at the same time. Always worth the trip even if I don't buy a thing .
