Cambridgeshire yard has old shite that needs rescuing

[ypsilandra]

The big Wolseley looks pretty complete.

I never understand stories like this. Given their age and rarity, surely the owners could make much more money by simply sticking a lot of those on eBay rather than crushing and recycling them.

Unless of course it's just an extension of the classic "if it doesn't sell I'll banger race it" bollocks

Allow me to rephrase.

 

"Joe Bloggs came across these in a breakers yard. The yard owner fancied getting a metric fuckload of cash for them so figured if he made some story up about imminent crushage, then it'll get printed and he'll inundated with phone calls and colelctors tripping over themselves, without having to pay eBay fees or deal with the mouth-breathing cretins that inhabit the site"

"Ohno, we'll have to buy them off the scrap yard owner as he's going to crush them!"

I agree, the story about them being crushed is bollocks.

See that at car show sometimes where a sign is placed in the window of a down-at-heel car saying 'scrapping in the morning'.

 

Very annoying.

That Wolsley is well nice. I'd love one like that.

They’ve probably been due to be “scrapped immediately†for years.

I think if the scrappie crushed these, he should be crushed immediately afterwards for destroying rare historical artifacts. Total bollocks though, he wants a bidding war on them.

Just say to the loitering owner, I want an engine for one of those, should bring about a change of story.
