Matt Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 *May not actually be for sale Noble RecyclingRandolph PlaceKirkcaldyKY1 2YX 01592 651 394Next open Monday at 8am. There is nothing noble about scrapping this MOT'd, one owner 405. 62k miles at it's last MOT in February and nothing unduly worrying in it's MOT history. These photos were taken by Alan Gold last Sunday (14/01/2018) so it's number may well be up by now but I thought it would be worth posting here anyway considering how clean it looks. 1992 Peugeot 405 1.6 GL by Alan Gold, on Flickr 1992 Peugeot 405 1.6 GL by Alan Gold, on Flickr Lacquer Peel, Junkman, Dick Cheeseburger and 2 others 5
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Given the company it's in, are these all for dismantling? Was it taken in as part of the grate scrappage rip-off?

They_all_do_that_sir Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 That's fucking stunning...... Usual excuses apply but could be up for a minor share in some sort of convuleted group buy Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk SierraMikeHotel 1
Kiltox Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 It’s with trade rather than scrapped so there might be a chance of saving it
Matt Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 It’s with trade rather than scrapped so there might be a chance of saving it That's good news, how do you tell that it is in trade?
Talbot Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 I am going to be near here with a flatbed car transporter trailer this coming week. If someone wants to buy it, I can probably* bring it back down south for peanuts. eddyramrod, Dick Cheeseburger and Kringle 3
Kiltox Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 That's good news, how do you tell that it is in trade?If you look it up on vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk and it says “this vehicle may be taxed at a post office without th V5”, it’s with trade. greengartside, strangeangel, Talbot and 2 others 5
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Interesting. What will they be wanting for it?
catsinthewelder Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I was about to say give them a ring on Monday but if 10 people do then the price is going to be quite high. Could somebody (preferably with a local accent) ring and then post a response? Twiggy, eddyramrod and Junkman 3

Could somebody (preferably with a local accent) ring and then post a response? 'hawrite there pal, passed by yir yaird this moarnin, noticed ye've a wee auld 405 sittin ootside, ken if its fur sale like?' Phone up and say that and you should get a response. wuvvum, Squire_Dawson, Dick Cheeseburger and 7 others 10
Matt Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 So apparently Noble Recycling deal with exporting too so it may be earmarked for export which may be bad news for UK shiters; if they can get mega bucks elsewhere they aren't going to want to sell it cheaper here.
sierraman Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 It won't be cheap, the scrapman will know you want it so it'll be priced accordingly. andrew e 1

Phone up and say that and you should get a response. Despite blatantly sounding like I come from the home counties, I have done exactly this in the past in Dundee at a breakers yard. It works, but you have to keep up the accent for the entirity of the conversation. I thought I was busted at one point! Shep Shepherd, Squire_Dawson, Braddon81 and 1 other 4
Junkman Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 There are two British accents - the one that I can understand and the one that I can't.I'm afraid they speak the latter in that scrapyard. Dick Cheeseburger, They_all_do_that_sir and eddyramrod 3
sierraman Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Were I the scrapman who'd just paid £100 to take it off someone's driveway, I'd want £4-500 to make it worth my while. Could be any number of reasons its in the breakers, could be rotten as fuck underneath, engine shot, clutch gone etc. If it's had the COD there's no way back.

CortinaDave Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Mot Til end February... 61k and only minor advisories last test. This is only a couple of miles from me but nobles are unpredictable to deal with. The probably won't sell it. All depends on his mood on the day. I can certainly drive past and see if its still there if anyone's interested. Local reg too. Dick Cheeseburger 1
sierraman Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Sounds like nearly every scrap man I've ever had dealings with. Wouldn't give £500 on it, you could get a running one for that. Could be deceased estate with no family, the council would just scrap something like this, its quicker, they wouldn't think "that would make a nice car for somebody".
DodgyBastard Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I'm not sure how to save a car that isn't actually for sale. RJC_9908 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_9907 by srblythe, on Flickr It's also gone. Jim Bell, Kiltox, Squire_Dawson and 2 others 5
CortinaDave Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 the fact that its the only one that is from that row suggests someone bought it.. if it was crushed theyd have taken the lot in at once SiC 1
DodgyBastard Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 The area is filled with cars suitable for export such as Mercedes, 4x4's, pickups, Toyotas etc. I doubt it would have been crushed.
DodgeRover Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I wonder if they would buy my landcruiser?How fucked is said LC?
CortinaDave Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I wonder if they would buy my landcruiser?Scrap a car Scotland in Thornton pays better than nobles in my experience. They're relatively generous. Gave me 150 for my old ZT in the autumn . CreepingJesus 1
oldcars Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Drivers mirror folded in, can't see it being like that if its getting weighed in.
drum Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 How fucked is said LC?The last time it was motd it failed on rusty sills, wheel bearing, cv boot and brakes binding. I've mostly ignored it since but have done the welding, the bearing and the boot. Just need to strip the calipers and clean them up then shove it in for an mot. That's if I can find the arsedness. The chassis is a bit flaky too. I have wondered if export would be the easy way to offload it.
Cavcraft Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Export. I offloaded one (LandCruiser) to someone in Iceland (country, not shop) once. What a pleasurable experience* that was. Coprolalia 1
Matt Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 The yard has sold it to someone Alan (who took the photos) knows oldcars, somewhatfoolish, chaseracer and 2 others 5
