There will be a special array of old Mustangs in MediaCity this week as a new car boot sale concept comes to Salford.
‘The Classic Car Boot Sale‘ event will be coming to Salford for the first time this weekend (July 20-21) when vintage items will be traded out of ‘some of the finest classic cars in the country’.
Amongst the assortment of the 30 rare wheels booked for the weekend event is a 1975 Renault 12TL, which featured in the BBC TV series Life on Mars, filmed partly in Salford in 2007, as well as an iconic 1980’s A-Team Van.
There will also be a special display of Ford Mustangs to mark the 60th Anniversary of these cars which have featured in movies such as Goldfinger and Bullit.
Additional award-winning cars on display at the MediaCity Piazza include an immaculate 1949 MG TC, which has bagged 14 show awards to date, plus a 1968 Pontiac Catalina Coupe and 1965 Corvette Stingray convertible.
The event will bring together more than 35 preloved traders in the country, some with up to 50 years’ experience in the game. The traders will supposedly offer the ‘finest’ vintage and sustainable fashion, accessories and homeware.
The Classic Car Boot Sale will also have DJs playing a mix of 60s garage and beat, to reggae and ska, glam rock, Northern Soul, punk and disco. One notable inclusion to the Saturday line-up is BBC 6 Music DJ and presenter Afrodeutcshe.
Maggie Harding who runs Garbo has been trading in vintage costume for over 50 years and has supplied to film and television companies including Downton Abbey, Mr Selfridge, Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, and Call the Midwife. More recently she found and sold some antique dresses which belonged to the Cartier Family dating from the 1850s.
Twintage, run by identical twins Kity and Suzie, will offer original hand-picked vintage clothing and accessories, with an emphasis on the 1960s and 70s.
Author of the book ‘Style me Vintage Home’, Keeley Rossendale, will also be bringing her 16 years of sustainable trading to the event, selling homewares, small furniture, as well as fashion and textiles.
The Classic Car Boot Sale is taking place from 10am-6pm on both Saturday July 20 and Sunday July 21 2024 and will be located on the MediaCity Piazza. Tickets and more information can be found here.
