	As the title states, anyone know of any in the surrounding area? Retro friendly or not? Thanks in advance.

	As above probbly the only one these days, and not that retro. Advesane used to be a good old yard with lots of retro but they are only a scrap metal yard these days with no car spares.
	Stupid is as stupid does!

	Thanks for the replies I'm new to the area so I'm a bit lost atm! Any yards would be helpful, retro friendly or not as I do a lot of work on all sorts of stuff.

I drive past them regularly from Rochester when ai go to Brighton or Worthing. I used them on more than one occasion in the past. Reasonable pricing, access to the yard, pick your own stuff, but as mentioned, not really retro.

	not sure Bridges is 'help-yourself' any more, got a feeling the last time I went down it was all on the shelf, unless you're especially friendly with them. Depending what you need there's also Sussex Ford Breakers in Shoreham, and VW Spares in Angmering, neither are really scrapyards, but do tend to have a lot of stuff on the shelf.

	If you are heading as far west as Harris's in Emsworth, then there is also Sussex Recycling/Recovery Centre SRC or what ever they are called now. Will always be Eastergate Car Spares to me! On the A29 to Bognor just south of where it crosses the A27 at Fontwell.

	Hi there, got a few here in Hastings. (Ripleys) off the shelf. Bartletts, help yourself, and hawkhurst salvage has some older stuff in. Not to far from Brighton. Good luck anyway.

	Depending on what you want there is hcs ram parts (hove car spares) at portslade just outside hove all there parts are on the shelf depending on what you want they will sometimes let you have a look at what they are breaking out the back. Prices are normally fair and the parts are always of good quality unlike most ebay scrapyard parts that are dud they are one of the few people i will buy second hand engine and gearboxs from

	+1 for Bridges. It was 'help yourself' about a year - 18 months go, but havent needed anything from there recently so don't know if they've changed. I'll ask my mate (who lives in Crawley) if he knows any others.
