	Went to the large breakers at Pease Pottage (Bridges i think) for a few bits for my Renault, on Monday. While there thought i'd snap some of the retro stuff. IIRC they won't sell anything complete ,unless in a certain area. They have a quick turn over, so if you need anything of of these old wrecks i'd get down there quick sharpish. GTE Lastly there was this little gem in the carpark

	That Maestro van is ripe for the treatment! It actually looks reasonably tidy. Shame they sprayed over some of the signwriting.

	Shame about the Pop.....trouble is they came completely over-engineered from the factory, so loads of 'em have survived....probably got boshed throught an MOT so it could be plate-raped....plus being a four-door it MIGHT be a later 107E, so the crossmember could have been filched for a 2-door so someone could shove a X-flow in. Great to see old-type scrappies like this though!!

	Great find, see there was a Suzuki SJ or the like in the fray as well.

	The green van was a Ginneta I.e a kit car but don't know much more about it, also not really a van as it has rear windows, thats if we are talking about the same thing. It's actually probly the most "modern" scrappy I know, with a huge workshop with 8-10 ramps in with cars all being cleansed of fluids and the like. Huge stacks of ally wheels, but I don't think they sell them, I believe they recycle them, and the whole place is on concrete. It's massive on the way to Brighton, would probly be seen on google earth thing.

	snoozineuro said: What on earth is that green van then? Its a Ginetta, as Magnumpi said. I can't for the life of me remeber the code name. It was Ginetta's attempt at the more "every day" vehicle after they're more sucessful/good racers. I believe it was *hillman hunter based? I don't really know. I was about 7 when we had ours. here is a pic of it.

	Oh cheers guys, never ever would have guessed in a million years that it was a Ginetta. That white one above has the same wheels my dads old Marina 2.6 had on it.

	I'm almost certain that the Ginetta was based on the Hillman Hunter...
