Show your scrappie finds

Don't know if this has been done already , but thought it would be interesting to see your scrapyard finds , eg the car tucked away in the corner

Posted

Wow that looks very interesting, neat and orderly and most of the cars look rot free...

Posted

Yeah, very little rust. The red mkII Cavalier / Opel Ascona kills me....I love those cars and this one was completely mint - I seriously mean not a single blemish on it. It would polish up like a new car. I assume scrapped due to mechanical failures...they are a rare sight here so probably no cheap source of a replacement engine back then.

Are those recent photos?  I bet someone would be tempted to drag a trailer down from blighty if the yard owner was willing to sell any of that lot complete.

 

Plus if there's a trailer coming down from England it could carry a Vauxhall engine for the nice bilingual chap who's offering to haggle with the scrappy and help load up some dead old frog tat ;)

Is there a good bonnet among this lot?  All the right colour too.  I'm happy to collect...

The pics are a couple of years old. The place has changed somewhat but its still full of chod - I will need to get some updated photos.

 

Nothing leaves intact though - selling whole cars is off the cards. I asked about the red Ascona and got a resounding "non".

Brilliant. That yard is the exact spitting image of my garden after I win the Euromillions.

Fantastic! I'd love to have a look round that place. Autoshite Francais 2015 Venue anyone?!

 

Heaven basically ( goes for a lie down to recover)

Lots could be there because of the French scrappage scheme. The CXs look less rusty than many on the road here.

Blimey, I could spend a whole bucketload of €€€€€€s in there and come back with enough old Renault bits to last me a lifetime.

Hi Stonio, I'm not what's happened but i may have deleted your photos by mistake, the same post came up twice, I deleted one of them and they both vanished! if you want to repost them again please.

I posted these here a while back but old scrapyard photos never go out of fashion so lets see 'em again shall we. They all date from around 1995 I think.
