DodgyBastard Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wow that looks very interesting, neat and orderly and most of the cars look rot free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Is there a good bonnet among this lot? All the right colour too. I'm happy to collect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Brilliant. That yard is the exact spitting image of my garden after I win the Euromillions. Squire_Dawson, HMC, Justin Case and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 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) chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Lots could be there because of the French scrappage scheme. The CXs look less rusty than many on the road here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Blimey, I could spend a whole bucketload of €€€€€€s in there and come back with enough old Renault bits to last me a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
