Classic cars in breakers yard :-(
It allways saddens me when I see old cars among the euroboxes in breakers yards. I was mooching around Bell's at Shildon yesterday, and spotted
a Triumph 2000.. possibly a 2.5PI, a Porsche 944 and a Vauxhall Cavalier.. the first one RWD. Not seen one of those for ages!
All doomed to be crushed at some point no doubt.

Sadly the scrapage scheme run by the government in 2009 saw plenty of cars from 60/70's with borderline value of £2000 pile up in the scrappies.

So true
Remember seeing a photo of a row of Moggie minors that were going to be crushed
Most of them looked pretty good aswell

local to me: triumph stag, moggie, triumph herald, consul, capri, 2 x volvo amazon. At least they are all being left in the yards for a good while so
people can get parts, i got 2 sets of bumpers, a dashboard, rare front seats and loads of little bits for my amazon this week. Tis a shame but they
help others live on.
