Re: Traveller in Kirby's Car Breakers, Rochford.

Car is now gone, Kirby's is under new ownership and all the old cars have been crushed.

Re: Not a scrap yard, abandoned in a yard

Drove down Progress Road at the weekend and the car has gone, hope it's gone to a good home, but I very much doubt it.

Re: Not a scrap yard, abandoned in a yard

We saw this today as we drove down Progress Road. Its been there for a few years, I think they used to drive about in it as we used to see it parked out the front of the boat repair place where it now sits out the back.

Re: Traveller in Kirby's Car Breakers, Rochford.

Went and had a look at this yesterday whilst looking for bits for my other project.

Re: Traveller in Kirby's Car Breakers, Rochford.

Thanks for letting us know, I'm just about to start the restoration of a Traveller and I'm sure to need some bits. I'll have to check it out next week.

Lets hope they saved it like they do with most older cars and not put it straight onto the pile.
