Hi, am a new member, so I hope I'm doing everything right!
Just been made aware of this website/car breakers, followed a link posted on a thread on here (bigalan, I think had mentioned it in a post).
Not surprised I've never heard of them, cause they're miles away from me! I'm probably late to the party, no doubt some will probably know of it already!
You can look through their stock, and after the first few pages, amongst the usual modern write offs, there are a fair few classics/ retro motors that could be potentially saved, or made useful as parts donors. Obviously they are there for the purpose of being broken down for spares, but I would imagine most owners wouldn't consider a major dismantlers as a first port of call when looking for old or obscure parts, resulting in much of what can be taken from these cars being wasted....? Looks like you can also buy the complete vehicle as well, they all seem to have prices on them...
Like I say, they're a tad far away from me, but maybe a decent place for a few Northern members to browse or keep their eyes on...

A few that caught my eye scrolling through were an XJS, Golf MK1 Cabrio, Midget, Mk2 Fiesta, '72 Bug, '70 Bay, Morris Traveller, '89 Quattro, Vauxhall Royale.
Probably more on there and many look like better starting places for restoration/ rebuild than many potential projects found in gardens or on eBay, most looking like recently written off dailys.
Interesting stuff.
