The VMCC Somerset Section's biannual auotjumble at the Shepton Mallet showground is always a good day out, as much a social occasion to catch up with old friends as to pick up parts for ongoing or future projects.
Stall numbers were slightly down on pre-covid times, understandable as the event only got the go ahead at late notice. Personally I picked up a handful of nice parts, a couple I needed and a couple I didn't but was slightly disappointed by the array of complete machines on sale. Maybe that's because I went with the hope that I would find a bargain veteran that I could ride home on, one can live in hope...
Below a few pics from the day.

| Often the most interesting bikes can be seen in the car park. The weather was mostly dreadful so due credit to anyone who rode in on the day. If you are going to ride in inclement weather you can't pick a much better machine for the job than a Royal Enfield with Airflow fairing. I've got a feeling that this Crusader is REOC Archivist Bob Murdoch's daily rider. |

| Another daily rider. This sweet BSA B31 is still giving the service its makers intended 70 years after rolling off the Small Heath production line. |
 |
| Norton Internation M30 was offered for sale, I didn't see the price on it though. |
 |
| BSA Bantam D14/4 Sports and a 350 and 500 Matchless, all at very fair prices. On the day the Bantam sold and the Matchless' went home. |
 |
| 1936 Scott tempted me. I've got money burning a hole in my pocket for a decent pre-war bike having sold a couple of machines recently. It's a vintage open frame Scott that I'm really after though so resisted temptation with this one. |
 |
| Triumph TR5 Trophy. One of Triumph's best looking bikes ever. |
 |
| This is how to do a jumble in style! More so if you are selling Harley parts. |
