scrap cars in sussex recycling centre

Post by davidmiles »

Here are some cars at the back of a scrapyard in West Sussex Near Eastergate, they are all private property of the owner who saves any old vehicle from being crushed, I'm unsure if they are up for sale, but I know they're not for stripping for parts.
The first few are moggies, and the rest are just in there for Nostalgia.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

true, the sales test hasn't been fully investigated, but they could quite easily have gone in the crusher like the millions before them, saving them in a field like this gives them a stay of execution at least. I haven't checked out the reg index with the DVLC as yet, I wonder if any are scrappage scheme, in which case he will be loathed to involve anyone in cars he should have crushed by law, but due to the nature of his character couldn't bring himself to do.

I could make use of most of the wings and doors off the two door blue one , they are far better than the car I currently have.

Could probably take the body shell at a later time and use it to restore another 2 door and it could take that 2 doors identity.

What is the interior like on the second white two door - it looks blue rather than red from the distance

thanks
