And the run is normally at 4pm but I'll get a definite time during the week coz my parents will be down there.

 

[Tim]

Is there an autojumble at the show.

 

[Rez]

Martin usually has a stall at the show. A few more do too but there's not really any decent aircooled swap meets in Ireland. There was a great one in Galway a few years back which wasn't well attended unfortunately. It would be great to get a decent one going though.

Would Martin be the only dealer at it.

As far as I can remember last year Caddy brought a trailer of engine parts down and Caroline from Type 2 Ireland had her business stall set up ("The Curious Ewe"). I think that was about it. It is set up by Martin Murray who runs "Eirespares" so it would be strange for him to host an event where his competitors could trade. I may be well off the mark but Jon White ("VW spares") had a fantastic show last year and I couldn't imagine Martin Murray setting up a stall up in his place.
In my opinion Tim, Eirespares is THE best aircooled show in Ireland. I'm gutted that I have to miss it this year but if you can make it, do!!

Does he advertise the show anywhere?

 

[Rez]

Word of mouth usually. I passed through Monard earlier and there still wasn't a sign up. Its incredible how many cars arrive each year without advertisement.

The run is leaving the filling station at 4pm.
Martin is open to people selling stuff like parts, auto jumble, accessories, ect.
He had no problem with Caddy selling stuff last year.
