This one is in the north east of Scotland in a place called Knaven, it's open on a Sunday and still has loads of interesting shit inside.

I did try to arrange a visit here during last years shitefest but nobody seemed particularly interested which was a shame.

 

Some cracking (rusting) pics there mate!

Bunglebus do you know what happened to that k10 with the cool kit on it?

[DodgyBastard]

This one isn't a scrapyard but has various vehicles rotting away, it's spread over three different locations on the banks of a Perthshire loch. I've managed to buy a couple of bits from them over the years but they prefer to keep and sell cars complete because they think it has a chance of being saved!

Along the road from that collection of Volvos is another random collection of cars owned by someone else, my photos didn't turn out very well due to a faulty lens and fish eye adapter on the camera.

It was just a farmers dumping ground.

Is the chap in Perthshire happy for people just to show up unannounced and have a wander round? I'm visiting family in that area in May and fancy seeing some rusty stuff.

 

Obviously I'd make them aware of my presence.

[DodgyBastard]

This one was a quarry in the highlands which seemed to be an alternative to a scrapyard.

Couldn't really call this place a scrapyard but it's a cool collection of rotting cars on the west coast of Scotland, this is just a small portion of what the guy has, I believe he also had a large warehouse full of stuff but I've not had a chance to go back.

I absolutely love the old car scrapyards, and have been facinated by them since I was 10 years old. Used to love going around Arthur Clarke's in Felsted and Blackwell's in Halstead, both no longer breakers. Luckily Kelvedon Auto Spares are still a "proper" scrapped.

 

I have seen quite a few here in Spain, but everything seems to be racked. I'll try and get some photos soon, although most cars I can see in them are French and not that old.

Well Kirby's closed down, so I would think it's a Zanussi by now.

[bunglebus]

Loving Shite Knight's pics, some serious air cooled VW content! Looks like an early type three squareback among the Beetles, rare but they like a rot. Might be some good spares on it though.

They were around as late as E reg, so that is probably B651 ABC or something.

Just the 51 catching your eye.

 

My bike looks 20 odd years newer than it is thanks to its *111*** reg.

OH for a Lottery win - huge warehouse and a team of tame mechanics....all those Skoda's - Lada's and Landies....

 

and the lada Niva in the quarry was excellently buried

While returning from the Mallusk MOT testing centre last night in MrsDC's Yaris (retested ok, now the brakes have been rebuilt), I stopped at the mouth of the T-Met recycling yard as something had caught my eye...

Two baby Fiats waiting to meet their maker - the 126 was a particular shock, not least because the bodywork really doesn't look too bad under all the grot. Hey, it's got clearly defined edges to the valances and wheelarches, which is more than many had after a few years...

Nothing showing on DVA tax checker to show when it was last on the road, so it seems poor little XDZ2962 has been COD'd. Lowly spec'd Seicento, BNZ8602, also looks pretty good in terms of bodywork, but is now beyond earthly assistance. A sad sight to behold.

And also visible...

Aside from the usual clapped-out Transits, scabacious Mercs and malfunctioning Poxhalls, a Chrysler Grand Voyager, an MG ZS and an LDV hi-top minibus... oof.

Trophy Blue, with the more restrained of the rear spoiler options. You'd think it'd have been worth someone's while to pull those alloys off it, but apparently not...

love these two, what's with the split tailgate on the Hang Over?

 

 

Looking at the glass it might have been ex mod, sas ?

The Gov have a whole fleet of unmarked RR sitting undercover in a secret location near Northholt in that there London,  I used to see them very often when I worked for the Met 

[ETCHY]

Old scrapyards were fantastic, I lived near one as a kid & we were forever getting chucked out for sitting in the old cars (Escorts, Heralds, Minors, BMC1300's & P6 Rovers were pretty common I seem to recall).

Best yard I ever went to was Statham Enterprises at Lymm in Cheshire, that was full of old motors & had been there since just after the war. We used to go there in the early '90's looking for bits for my Anglia.
