In 1967 Beaulieu held the first autojumble in the United Kingdom and collectors of anything remotely connected with motoring found they had a huge market place.
Now anything to do with petrol retailing is a collectable item, including petrol pumps, the now out-of-use two-gallon cans in which petrol was sold, enamel advertising signs, and the extremely varied paraphernalia produced by individual petrol firms.
This book outlines some of the thousands of pre-Second World War items, as well as charting the early history of selling and using petrol.
Mike Berry has long had an association with road transport. He started acquiring petrol cans in the 1980s and amassed Britain’s largest collection of petroliana, including oil cans, petrol pumps and enamel signs.
