This is very true. In my youth I would go each year to the Beaulieu autojumble in Hampshire to hunt NOS car parts I was looking for. We had fantastic afternoons meeting stallholders from all over Britain and Europe, ferreting through boxes of bits hoping for that elusive part. Happy days!

Nowadays you would probably try to find it ASAP on the auction site...
