Having not emailed for some weeks now we thought we'd like to get in touch and update you on how we are currently operating. We are still, sadly, online-only for our sales but are open to revising this on a daily basis! Any whiff of change from the government and we'll do an about-turn for any of our sales.
With regards to cars and bikes, we're incredibly frustrated as have the best entries we've ever had in both of these fields all lined up. Behind the scenes we've prepared these sales ready to press the button, but for both buyers and sellers, we're holding off, believing that these are purchases that are best advised to be seen. We now feel capable of offering in-the-room viewing by appointment but not bidding. We couldn't select a number of bidders, we're not elitist and opening to a first-come-first-in is grossly unfair to those that live afar (most of you!) So, we'll wait on these sales but please keep an eye on emails as we've a 1929 Alfa-Romeo 6C Supercharged with Zagato coachwork, several Veteran and Edwardian cars from a significant collection, over 60 motorcycles including a Vincent Black Shadow, a Manx Norton and so much more but that's, as we say, for some time soon.
On a very positive note, what on earth has happened to our Petroliana hobby/obsession since lockdown? Boom! Well, we're never in short supply and have some cracking lots lined up for the 11th July sale including a Power garage forecourt clock, the BP Winner pictured above, a pair of Shell lantern lightboxes, several rare globes, enamel signs... keep looking at Instagram and Facebook, we're not quiet about it!
​Our exciting news is that the Covid-19 delay in building our new premises has been lifted and things are underway. Last week the land was cleared, this week we've another architect's meeting and we'll be diverting you over there asap.
Please scrap the 2020 calendar issued in January we're staying flexible until lockdown is over. Please stay safe (obviously alert ;) ) and do call us if you have anything you're considering entering for auction. We'll not see you at Beaulieu this year sadly but do hope we'll meet again in person at auction very soon.
We'll post as soon as the catalogue is online. Do remember we will offer phone lines on all lots and bids can be left, online bidding is not the only choice.

Kindest regards from us all at Richard Edmonds Auctions

Weekend of 25-27 June 2021

Group members Graham Adams and Sue Clamp invite everyone to join them on a tour they have planned and designed for the group.

Day 1 on Saturday the convoy will leave base camp www.haleshallcaravanandcampingpark.com based in Cheadle and head north onto the moorlands with a first coffee stop in Flash, the highest village in England. From Flash we head across country to the town of Buxton before heading towards Macclesfield on the Cat & Fiddle road. Lunch stop will be at the newly refurbished Cat & Fiddle Inn, recently reopened with it's own whiskey distillery, suitably fed and watered the tour will continue back towards the campsite stopping off at Oakamoor to give our cars a blast up the Speed Hill climb course located there.

Sunday's tour takes a gentle turn south to the National Memorial Arboretum, with time to explore this thought provoking place, from here onto the National Brewery Museum in Burton on Trent, this organised visit will allow us to park in the museums inner courtyard, sample the brews on offer , have lunch and check out their collection of vintage brewery vans and their beautiful Shire horses and carriages, returning to base camp around 4pm.

This tour is open to all members of this group and the Pre Millennial Motors group.

Heavy Engineering Coastal Tour rescheduled - August 2021

13/6/2020

A fabulous mix of scenic coastal driving and heavy engineering as the group heads to mid Wales.
Picture
Base camp and start of the drive will be Brynowen holiday park near Aberystwyth. From here we take the scenic coastal route on the A465 to the Internal Fire museum of power, just outside of Cardigan at Tany Y Groes featuring huge diesel and steam engines from the industrial and maritime past. From the museum we will head inland passing through remote villages and towns such as Newcastle Emlyn as we meander north back towards our second stop of the day at Rheidol hydro electric power station. Set in stunning scenery the group will be allowed to park up and explore the reservoir and dam itself before going inside on a pre-arranged tour of the inner workings of the power station including the huge water turbines; hot and cold refreshments are available at the visitor centre.
Sunday's part 2 will involve a gentle 7 mile drive to the Vale of Rheidol steam railway, a fantastic 12 mile narrow gauge railway winding it's way up and around impressive terrain before arriving at Devils Bridge Water Falls. For those that don't wish to use the steam railway an alternative driving route will be provided and you can meet the train and those riding it at Devils Bridge for some excellent photo opportunities.
The tour is free for members to enter - food & accommodation at your own cost.
