warninglight Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just seen this shared from the Practical Classics Facebook page... Not sure where they mean by 'central' Scotland - but if anyone is desperately keen and I can help with my trailer, I will! Alusilber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It sounds like the usual heartbreaking hoarder story. “I’ll never sell” “I’ll never sell” “I’ll never sell” “Fuck. Pay what I want for EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY or they’ll all be crushed.” scdan4, lesapandre, ProgRocker and 25 others 21 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Much as Jim sounds a bit of a dick, there are definitely some rare Mazdas worth paying £300-£700 there. D plate coop is lovely. I can only assume that the underside of the lot is non-existent because Scotland? lesapandre and stonedagain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay what I want for EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY or they’ll all be crushed.” That is the perfect description for this lot. I have seen pics of this lot crop up from time to time over the years and thought they all lookd like a very sad sight. Sure enough, now the crusher beckons. I would love a Hairnet-shape 626 hatchback mind you (not the same shape as Hairnet, I mean the same shape as the one he's got) Am I seeing a silver/gold B-reg one in amongst that lot? stonedagain, Skizzer, Spurious and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The photos I posted were taken in 2014 when a similar scenario was playing out, I can't remember if there was an imminent threat of them being crushed. We went along for a look with the owner but never managed to buy anything, he only seemed to want to sell the ones I didn't want and wanted more than I was prepared to pay for them. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Wow, scrap’s gone up a lot recently if £700 is now ‘just above’ weigh-in value for something Sierra sized (the 626’s seem to be the largest vehicles there)!! I suspect they’ll still be around in another 6 years time, even rustier and more knackered. Or maybe the site is to be cleared and they will all be cubed. The red 626 saloon on the Y plate looks OK, most of the rest are very mossy indeed. I suspect the TWR kitted ones will be in the worst condition due to the body kits.

warninglight Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Scrap has been worthless for weeks now - it's starting to creep back up I believe. If scrap value of a crusty Mazda is more than £50 at the moment I'd be surprised. AnthonyG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I ran past there last week and saw that they had been moved further inside the yard. I thought they had gone years ago. They have deteriorated a lot since I last photographed them. They are about 1/⁴ mile from my house. Happy to assist with directions or whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamgroot Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I actually got some bits of Jim a while ago for a 626, he's a nice guy, haven't read the practical classics article, I think his collection must have just overwhelmed him, haven't spoken to him in a while, but he is a Facebook friend, I'm sure he would do a good deal if he knew it was helping to save one. The very unusual ones are genuine very unusual ones not replica's. Oh and as far as not being a member on here, he possibly is, he was a member on retro rides, when I used to frequent it and the old Japanese cars proboards site.
