HC in scrapyard in Radstock

Postby billy_bunter » Tue Jun 29, 2010 11:20 pm

I work with a lad who does part time cover (Weekends/afternoons) in a scrapper in Radstock. He mentioned that they had an old Vauxhall in the back of his yard. I said take a photo. So he does.... From the very bad phone photo it looks like a std HC in a fair old state but there may be spares on it. It might have been driven to its current position but there again it may have been hoisted and thus the shell will be U/S. hard to tell really roof line looked straight so it might not have been stacked.
I have not got time to look and/or funds space to take it off them. Anyone on here care to take a look and let us know if it any good? Or indeed any spares to be had?

Ask for Martin if you go on a weekend and mention that the car was mentioned on here. From conversations I have had with him the owner is very old school so negotiate carefully. If you think it is worth saving or you want parts. Remember one fact the car crushed is worth 200 to 300 quid to them. So go expecting to pay money not get free parts

This one? In the car park area?

I asked about it ages ago and it's part of the owners private collection and not for breaking. To be honest it's rather shot and getting to it to get anything heavy off will be a mare.

No problem! Glad someone has seen it...

I guessed it was pretty ropey BUT you never know....

The bloke I know is trying to clear the collection slowly rotting away! There was no foliage in the photo I saw just a pallet on the boot
