It’s business as usual for the car boot fraternity, with interest in this particular pursuit showing no sign of waning.

At the upper end of the car boot Premier League is Rathcormac – a location that’s stood by the concept through thick and thin.

It’s a formula that hasn’t altered much over the years and at one level, it’s remarkable that very substantial crowds continue to return (and pay) to see run of the mill merchandise.

When you inquire, you’re told that people find it interesting and of course, there’s always the hope of stumbling across ‘car boot gold’ – whatever that might be.
