Getting Carried Away at Beaulieu Auto Jumble! | Vlog #15
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2021
- I went searching for some gems at Beaulieu, one of my favourite auto jumbles! And despite trying to resist, I found myself in a car auction...
What did you think of that Lagonda?!
As the proud owner of the 'Ranalah' name, I'm trying to revive the British craft of wheeling. I was looking for a wooden pattern of the wheeling machines, as well as any archive material I could find.
If you know of any items related to the 'Ranalah' English Wheels, please send me a message or leave a comment!

So pleased you enjoyed attending the autojumble Dominic - great film! Come back next year for the Spring Autojumble in May and continue your search. Make sure you share a picture of your renovated wheel hub with us, we love to see what people do with their autojumble finds.
Thanks for the comment! It’s always an amazing day at beaulieu.. I will try to get there in may thanks!
When I was living in France in the early 90's I used to go up to England for the car auctions and races- Stayed at the Thistle Hotel at Brands and went to Beaulieu a couple times. ( I actually lived in Beaulieu Sur Mer). The SE and SW are absolutely the most beautiful places you can imagine. I remember seeing a herd of wild horses somewhere near Beaulieu, and as a Yank, I was surprised that wild herds still existed in England. Great times- taking the Sealink ferries before the tunnel was opened and driving along the south coast.
Great news Dom. Get on with the Porsche. 😁
cracking video will keep eyes and ears to the ground out and about in the west country for any thing Ranalah my boss had one in his garage but that was 50 years ago a country garage very old school his hobbies was steam traction engines and the old mechanic there was only one knew how to use the Ranalah. it all long gone now but will keep eyes open you never know loving the channel good luck with the porsche and have fun :-)
Thank you! Let me know!
I love your honesty in these videos. Most people only put a video up when most everything works perfectly. Thank you for showing us real snippets in your crazy search for hard to find stuff. Much more enjoyable!
Thank you, just trying to give a little look into my life, everything definitely doesn’t always go to plan!
Love your enthusiasm. I too fear our old skills are on the way out with the invent of cancer machines etc. I only wish and to some extent regret that I turned away from possible careers at Rolls Royce, Crewe to join the armed forces and then a further lengthy career in Surrey Police.
I now sit watching you tube and tv series about old skills from wood turning across to thatching and wish I had some of those old skills.
I often consider applying to get an apprenticeship in one of these old trades but at 57 years of age who would employ me.
Anyway Dom, I hope and pray that your devotion to bringing Ranalagh (sorry if spelt incorrectly) back on line gets some of the younger members of society to think about training in these dying out trades.
Thank you Dom..
I'm the same at militaria fairs....so much to buy with so little money lol. Luckily I stick to quite a niche area so I don't get too tempted
Well done Dom for not getting carried away at the auction. Some beautiful cars on display. Few years time, that could be you with your Porsche 😄
Autojumbles are like an addiction, I used to go search frantically through stalls for Ariel Leader bits. It is what it must feel like to have a gambling problem. What a rush to find something.
Cant loose the skillset from the coachbuilder who built the alloy body, spend time with him as the craft needs to be revived!
Great job 👏 thanks
I apprenticed, under an Elderly English Gentleman (here in British Columbia, Canada) who had apprenticed at Rolls Royce. He had built his own "Wheelie Machine", and gave me just enough instruction, to make me dangerous... 😉
I wish I had spent more time at it... 😞
I LOVE the 356 videos, and can't wait to see more...
Keep up the Great Work...
Allan
Thank you! It’s never too late to get back into it!
Just discovered your channel. really enjoying it. great. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much
There should also be a Spring Motormart Autojumble in May, the September event was traditionally the larger one but largely thanks to the complications of importing / exporting post-Brexit there were virtually no European stallholders at Autojumble and it was more the size of the Motormart. Autojumble usually has another two fields of stuff.
Great vlog, espically looking forward to further episodes on the Porsche.
Thank you, there will be another one very soon!
Dangerous places auto jumbles, I went to the Newark one to sell some motorcycle parts and came back with more than I went with! Great vid, look forward to seeing plenty more.
That Lagonda,had got 'IT'.I,m glad i didn,t see it,i wouldn,t have slept for days.
Thumbs up mate.
Highlight of Sunday for me every week. Looking forward to more work on the Porsche
More Porsche on the way soon! I hope you enjoy the others videos too.. thanks for watching
I found your site through one of those 'other viewers watch this' things. You, sir are an absolute nutcase. My kind of people. Shall enjoy delving in to your cabinet of curiosities, I'm sure. (Shame about the Lagonda, that would've made a nice little runabout)...
Only just found this channel. You have just made floods of memories come back. The English wheel behind you, I bust the tips of my fingers in when serving my apprenticeship many years go! Get yourself a leather apron to work with that on metal!
You are right though. Many if us left the trade. Its a dying art. We used to have a pair of white gloves in the tool box. You wear them when feeling a finished panel. So, like the old Bristols, Triumphs ,Sprites, you white glove them to feel the hand made work that went into them.
Oh that’s cool, thank you for watching I am glad you enjoyed it, I haven’t caught my finger/thumb yet, but I’m sure it will happen!
Dom you are definitely right, it is beautiful!
Great video as always Dom - loving the Birdy Sweatshirt as well - great brand!
Thank you it’s new!
I'm sure you liked the wheel cover as it's a pretty close match to the top arm of the wheeler.
Another excellent video Dom, thank you and well done for resisting the Auction fever…!! Kind regards, Richard.
Very pleased on discovering your channel, content has been great and the Porsche Project is exciting. It’s like the auto spinoff of TRS! All the best from 🇨🇦
I was there on the Saturday as well!!! I went with a list......and came back with a few things, but nothing on my list!!!
Sounds like my kind of day…
Your videos are the highlight of my week! Waiting to sort out the roof of my garage so I can start learning how to weld so I can tackle a VW camper restoration, so thanks for your welding video a few months back.
Best of luck with it! Let me know if there’s anything I missed on the welding video, have a look at Parweld’s machines when the time comes, they are very good.
Fantastic Video.
Thanks!
Really pleased I found your channel. You & your repair shop colleagues are a special compassionate talented group. You’re great to watch 👍
Thank you! Glad you have found us here
awesome Dom to witness your walk around Beaulieu Auto Jumble looked like a fantastic day out thanks for taking us there :)
Your so welcome, thanks for watching!
The spare wheel cover would be easily made by spinning on a lathe, but in production god knows perhaps they had a press tool. The Lagonda would indeed have made a very handsome sporty restoration. I used to have several wheeling machine and an ecols, most peeps would be amazed what could be produced from these machines, Oh by the way I come from the era of fusion welding, with a flame, then plenishing out welds and repairs, with a flipper and dolly. I wish that I had the chance to pass on what was a wonderful trade.
You sound like my kind of guy! Very impressive skills.
The spare wheel was indeed spun, I’ve never tried but I imagine it’s more difficult than it looks!
Great video and really glad you enjoyed your time at the Beaulieu Autojumble.
Thank you!! I always have the best time
I can’t believe I spent a quarter of a hour watching someone looking for something they didn’t find and not bidding on a car they wanted, ok you got me ,I’m going to watch your Porsche video now.
Hahaha that’s one way to put it!
But hey, you got to see around beaulieu auto jumble without having to go there!
@@DominicChineas I was there on the Saturday enjoyed your video, hope you find what you wanted.
Over here in the U.S. we call that a “swap meet”, but auto jumble sounds way more fun! Love the channel my man, I hope they put more episodes of The Repairshop on Netflix.
I’m pleased your channel is really taking off Dom,I’ve watched every video you’ve released and found them interesting. Good luck.👍👍
That’s amazing thank you so much for the support, it’s taken a while but I am really enjoying making these videos, I am chuffed that people seem to enjoy watching them!
@@DominicChineas your enthusiasm comes over really well on video. As a retired engineer I can appreciate what you’re doing on your videos. I really hope you achieve all your ambitions. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.👍👍
Thanks Dom for the ride as has been said wheel cover painted with your logo and a ⏰ mechanism hang in the repair shop 😂great advertising spot I know you’d get the sack if you did great vid awaiting more Porsche episodes 👍👨🏻🏭
Really interesting, thanks Dom, for great entertainment, I never miss the Repair Shop as well.
Like being a kid in a toy shop that does sweets too! Blinker discipline required! :)
I love Beaulieu auto jumble I used to go every year,haven’t been for a few now,it was good to see all those Lambrettas there Dom, I wish you’d bought one as a project!
A Tip ! Get a t shirt printed with what you are looking for with LARGE letters on it. I had AUSTIN A70 printed on a shirt ... You would be surprised at just how many traders spotted it and pulled out bits for me. Give it a go ! ;-)
That’s such a good idea! Ranalah shirts coming soon haha
Hi just found your channel absolutely brilliant love the English wheel best of luck John
Some years ago I wrote a piece for one of the UK old car magazines. I came up with the expression "neck bent shuffling" to describe looking round Beaulieu. I think you just proved it right again. Well done Dom.
loving the Porsche project
I was really hoping you would get the Lagonda 😁
Going a step further on the wheel cover, paint the logo etc……..that hole in the centre needs to be a clock surely 👍🏻😎
I didn’t even think of that!! Brilliant idea! Love it thank you
@@DominicChineas you could always get Steve to sort the clock part for you
@@namtalf I was just going to suggest the same thing 😂
Just what I was going to say!!
my thoughts as well.
Brilliant as always Dom
Thank you so much
It's no surprise that the Porsche project start was so watched. So little real car mechanics/restoration projects to watch. So far it's Dom and Edd China for me. Maybe get them together.
That’s a real compliment thank you! I’ll reach out to him and see if he fancies doing something!
Awesome yes I viewed the porsche video ya got me hooked cant wait for the next vid cheers mate
Glad to hear it, I’m literally working on the Porsche now, new video soon!
Great video Dom, Thank's for the tour really great Mate, have a nice day !!!.
Great to see such enthusiasm Well done Dom, great channel...
Hello Dom,
Looks like you had a great couple of days out... the Lagonda did look rather cool, I can see the attraction... Have a good week and catch you on the next one...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul, have a good week!
Ahh, happy memories of very many hours selling and buying at Beaulieu Auto jumble over the years! The excitement of browsing the stalls for NOS or restorable parts for cars I've restored was something looked forward to all year. Sorry you didn't find any Ranalah patterns or decent literature, but hopefully as the word spreads more will emerge. Best of luck and please keep your great videos coming Dom!
Great vlog, great edit, brilliantly realised 👍
Great Vlog Dom.. congrats on the 356 vid doing so well. Looking forward to your next videos, especially the continuing saga of the rebirth of the Ranalah brand and product.
Thank you! Really appreciate the support
went to this museum many years ago (visitors from Canada ) was trying to get there by bus/train and almost didn't- couldn't understand from local dialect what the pronounced name was . They all rattled off the name but then pointed to the next tram/bus. FINALLY got there (A FANTASTIC visit)
They used to run a shuttle bus from Brockenhurst station but that ended. The last two times I went I had to take a taxi from the station. I was visiting from Canada too.
I'm pleasantly surprised with the real Dom , stuff on the repair shop used to get me shouting at the telly , I'm looking forward to the porsche , because it's something a lot of us wish we could do, I'm subscribed !
Glad to hear your subscribed!
This is the beauty of TH-cam, it’s definitely “real Dom” haha
Thank you
I really enjoyed your look around the autojumble. I've always meant to go. I did some work on a "Chitty Chitty bang bang" so was invited to the museum once. Subscribed 👍
Autojumbles where part of my education growing up. Still got the little die cast cars and bits I bought with my dad there encouraging me to negotiate the price with the sellers.
stick a clock mech in it dom. wack it on the wall . good to see you outside that show. great vids.
First time to watch any of your video's, ......really great, you have a natural way on screen. After quite a few decades buying and selling country antiques in the UK and Europe, let me give you some advice. if you really want to buy something specific like your Ranalah machines and stuff, just print up an A3/A4 flyer and hand it out to the stall-holders at shows like these, .........if they know there is a potential buyer, and they find anything, they will give you a call, we all used to work that way. The wooden mold you were looking for, is probably still stuck in the back of some dealers yard, after he's fed up carting it around trying to sell it ! Good luck.
Its an 'Ace' type wheel disc can be made on a lathe! (these are made today in Somerset, a friend bought a set for a 1929 Morris Cowley). These were fitted on steel wheel cars on Rolls Royces, Morris and many more to make the wheels look pretty and were easy to keep clean.
Thank you for the information
Brilliant video of Beaulieu Dom - You must be so proud not to bid at the auction- The hubcap you bought for £10 had the look of a superheroes shield 🤔 Wonder what your superhero name would be Dom 🤔😊
Dom you do great videos. keep it up i love watching them
Great video, Dom. What a wonderland of stuff that place has. Had the same experience with an old boat I thought I might pick up for a few hundred dollars twenty years ago . Was actually foolish enough to grab my chequebook. Imagine my surprise and shame to see an asking price close to $20K. Gulp. Good luck with your search and can’t wait to see more Porsche content!
What an amazing place! Temptation everywhere, you were very restrained! Great vlog!
You could make a nice interesting clock from that wheel cover without damaging it.
Perfect!
Those were 2 good tours around the sale but like you said better to spend the money on the Porsche.
take care
I am a new subscriber, much respect with you endeavors.
Thank you for subscribing! It’s great to have you, I hope you enjoy the channel
@@DominicChineas Can't wait to see the progression.
During my misspent youth I was all about the electronics0 no interest in "obsolee" gears and levers and such.
Now, I find that there's something about old cars with that blunt-nosed, brute force look like the one at 6:13 which hides all sorts of clever intricate engineering inside that appeals to me. Can't explain it but there it is.
Great video. I definitely need to get on down to that auto jumble one day it’s always been on my list…
Get down there next year, you won’t regret it!
Thanks Dom for the vid' ⚒🔧👍 it's a UFO from the movies and probably a car wheel
Hi Dom. I live in Tasmania, Australia. There is a town called Ranelagh. I know the spelling is different but it reminds me of your quest when I pass through.
I’m off to an auto jumble this weekend. I’ll keep an eye out for fun stuff. Love your videos. Looking forward to a) seeing the Defender get finished b) seeing you get started properly on the 356. Cheers Don
Please do keep an eye out for me, I am happy to pay for shipping etc if anything turns up!
I was drawn to the Lagonda too. It definitely had something about it. I didn't bid, but I can see why you were tempted.
Might sound silly but should have held up a sign or even had a sandwich board, a lot of the old boys that autojumble just don’t do the internet..hope you locate the mould 👍
You did yourself a favour not going for the Lagonda Dom. You’ll need your pennies for the Porche. Hard lines on not seeing any stuff you were chasing after. Looking forward to your videos on the Porche renovation.
Great video as always bud.
I think your right, I’m glad I can concentrate on the porsche, thank you for watching
Ciao Dom,Just started watching your channel..it's fantastic! have to say I do miss the odd auto jumble in the UK since returning back to where I feel most at home (Bologna, Italy) we have 5hem here as well but most of them have been cancelled due to covid..the most important one being the "CRAME" event within the Imola race circuit which is 20 mins from Bologna..a real shame.
If you ever find yourself in Bologna do give us a shout and will show you around the beautiful region of Emilia Romagna, also known as "Motor Valley".keep up the great content.
Again, Great video. I went on the Saturday and as usual a great Beaulieu.
Sorry to hear that you weren’t able to locate any Ranalah parts, may be next year.
I will be sure to look out and let you know, maybe others could do the same.
That would be amazing thank you! Really appreciate it
Great video. I did see a wheeler dealers where they made a wheel cover but from steel. There was a word for it but can't recall it. It think it was a rough press and then worked on a type of lathe. Looking forward to more Porsche videos.
Great video, keep trying you will find them or they will come to you.
People who have reached out to me so far have been very helpful
That Lagonda was a thing of beauty, hope it goes on to be restored and not turned into a special or similar 👍
It was very complete, I hope so!
Not many realise that Lagonda was not a luxury brand. In 1927 their cheapest car, a 12/24 all-weather, was £285. Daimler's cheapest CHASSIS was £490.
yay
Woo!
Dom with that old wheel cover yeah your logo but add a clock mech as got centre hole already . New subscriber and love the Porsche cheers Andy /vwcoco
Can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
Thank you for watching, appreciate it
Can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
Thank you for watching, appreciate it
@@DominicChineas cheers Dom 👍
You were just down the road from me, I wish I had known that jumble was on..focus on the Porsche 😉
The hub cap was probably spun on metal spinning lathe using a wood or steel form.
As a mechanic for thirty odd years I am lucky enough to have worked on all sorts of classic and odd ball vehicles from a mini with a pissa oven to ferrari F40 lancia intergale I have fitted engines to daf lorrys restored an audi quattro from the eightys and helped out with all sorts of restoration work on all sorts of vehicles and am now about to help a friend with a Daimler double six from the nintys to restore her to her youth and I love to work on the older stuff as the modern stuff are just white goods buy it use it scrap it .
Hi Dom - great Video - i know that you'll be looking for stuff on Ebay on Ranalah - just had a look and someone from Peterborough is selling original pamphlets - good luck Trevor Williams
Keep em coming Dom, you have a great channel here
Thanks, will do!
You could have popped in for a cuppa, I live about 5 miles away from Beaulieu!! Great video Dom.
What a lovely place to live!
Have you looked at Micro Machines channel Dom, there is a young lad that is currently making his own boat tail speedster from scratch. in the earlier episodes he is using a cheap wheeling machine that he has improved. Well worth watch his series on the car. Very talented young man. There is also a young lad that works for Retro Power and he has English Wheel experience. So it is not quite a dying art form just yet. Hopefully there will be enough youngsters taking an interest in learn traditional working methods.
I haven’t seen those thank you I’ll check them out!
There’s definitely people still using wheeling machines, but we could definitely use a few more!
@@DominicChineas It's MacroMachines: th-cam.com/users/MacroMachinesvideos
Spun aluminium. Lovely.
Another awesome video , thanks dom
Your so welcome thank you for watching
Excellent Dom.
Thanks!
4:27 A 1950 Ambassador Series III
Sadly the third field of jumble wasn’t used this year, which I guess reflected the classic vehicle world limping back into being after the C word, but it was good to go back to Beaulieu this year. Also noticeable was the fewer numbers of European visitors and stall holders normally present, but I guess that was down to the B word!
Such a shame, although I still struggled to get round it all in a day!
Hi Dom. You made me realise that I must go to Beaulieu AND NOT GET CARRIED AWAY. Nothing there for the 356? Looking forward to more from you.
I don’t really need anything for the 356, just some time!
Turn the wheel trim into a clock and your logo 👌🤔
Can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
Hi Dom I really want to see that porsche project progress
So do I!! Haha I will try my
Best to keep updates as regular as possible but I am filming repair shop full time and we are very busy, I’ll do what I can!
yet another cool video Dom, i have been in the same situation i buy football stuff and found a flag from the old wembly had 2000 pounds but it went for a lot more,
pleased now i didn't get it or was tempted to bid its so easy to get carried away, well done keep up the great work..
Very tempting isn’t it!! Nightmare
And don't forget that "buyer's premium". They charge you money for the privilege of buying. At Bonhams, that is 27.5% plus VAT extra to pay!
Did you not find an old Jaeger clock to fit in the centre of that cover🤔 Porsche first please, no mucking around with old Lagondas - step away from the Bonhams!!!! On that subject, were there no useful bits for the 356 or have you got them all on that top shelf?? Interesting vid, loving those old signs👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve got most of the bits I need for the 356 up in those boxes!
I just need repair panels and lots of time!
The hunt continues. You'll find the rainbow eventually
One day!
Hi Dom, Nice Day out, Was 2steps behind you All the way , It's out There for you to find , Great day , All the Best Brian 🤗
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
