Chester Antiques Show, 20-23 October at the famous Chester Racecourse venue.
‘A quad is the standard British poster size and one we sell most of,’
explained Terry, on his stand at the fair. Terry is shown with an extremely rare
collection of posters from the 1966 film ‘Grand Prix’. This particular set had
last been on public display at the film’s premier on Oxford Street and not seen
since, hence their price tag of £2,000 for the five – ‘and there has been plenty
of interest’ added Terry. Quadbod sell only original posters used to publicise a
movie’s release and not later printed copies. These original examples are sought
after, and not just by film buffs but, art collectors who and, as with Grand
Prix, motoring enthusiasts.

Quadbod from Birmingham, are exhibiting at the Chester fair. This autumn’s event
is fully booked with 50 dealers over the three floors of the Racecourse Grandstand.
Several dealers were showing for the first time, notably early oak specialist Andrew
Morrell from Canterbury , for whom Chester was his first public fair. From Chester,
Shackladys were also debuting, specialising in a range of 18th and 19th century furniture
that includes a superb Liverpool made
longcase with a London clock at around £20,000.

Hunt had made her way to the heart of Liverpool where she
was interviewed on BBC Merseyside radio by the famous Billy
Butler, afternoon presenter and once a DJ at the Cavern Club.
‘So who buys antiques?’ asked Billy….’People with wisdom and
good taste!’ said Cathy.
