Autoshite heaven (in Scotland)

[Charlie Croker]

Very quick update, we went yesterday and what a fantastic sight! The owner of these cars is a wonderful bloke and as for the 'secrecy' I think it is absolutely neccessary. It's not a scrap yard/ business or anything, he doesn't want to break up the cars for the same reasons any of us don't want to break up our own cars. He knows the story behind each and every one and recalls many being on the road in his ownership. As for 'nearly new' cars, more than a few came from salvage auctions, several had panel damage or fires or the like. We walked around with his nephew who must have been about 15, and in my opinion the luckiest person ever having that to grow with. Then there's the area itself: truly spectacular! Finally as has been said before some things are for sale, we have done a deal on the FSO Polonez. I would urge anybody who knows the location to keep it off public domain, ultimately if people aren't careful this could be gone. And if things went missing I cant see the guy continuing to welcome strangers like me and Steve in.

 

Well said about the location. We need places like this to keep us sane. Could you find out some info on the Marina Coupe for me please? Thanks Charlie.

This is probably gonna seem very anal but could you find out the first 3 letters of the number plate and a rough guide on price for me please? There is a reason for wanting to know the letters of the plate although it makes no difference to whether i would want the car or not.lol Thanks Charlie.

Just out of interest, was a deal done on the Marina Coupe?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Looks interesting!

What's the story with the cars in the water/dashed against the rocks? do the locals just shove them off a cliff when they're done with them or is it the local TWOCer graveyard.

[DodgyBastard]

Think the locals used it to scrap their cars, the ones in the water had been covered with more rocks after being dumped. I'd love to dig up some of the area to see what else i could find.

[brickwall]

They used to do that here as well back in the 70s and 80s plus a good few stolen ones went in. One year the water in the quarry was really low and I was quite surprised at how many cars and stuff was in there. There was an old donkey engine too!

Wherabouts is the quarry? Would like to go for a nosey sometime.

They've been battered into the ground by earth moving equipment, condition's not surprising.

I took around 300 photos of the place, there were some really old shitey cars in this former scrap yard. It was fucking brilliant wandering around. I plan on going back in the winter to get some better photos.

Anyone up for a road trip to the north of Scotland?

[junkyarddog]
