Hi guys, no pics i'm afraid cuz i didn't have my camera with me and my phone camera is rubbish. Hoped it would be useful to folks in the area.
Anyway, i found some finds in my, local yard. It's called Seaton Salvage, it's near Uppingham, Rutland. They're dead cheap - i bought a load of stuff for £5 today. Plus, none of the cars are stacked and the yard is an old railway station so it's architecturally interesting too!
This is what i found besides the usual dross...
Mercedes W123 280E auto - looks far too good to be there. mint panels, mint blue interior, almost completely intact. Benzboy - 2.8, 185bhp conversion?
Mercedes W124 wagon, not sure what engine.
Saab 900 X2
Peugeot 505 estate minus engine/box
Peugeot 504 pickup, complete
3x Sierra, at least 1 Pinto
BMW 7-series (735 or 730?)
Audi 80 +100
Saab 9000- a few...
Bedford CF
FSO Polonez
Subaru 4x4 pickup
Subaru 4x4 1800 estate
Honda Aerodeck
Volvos
I'm a bit curse word now so i'm not sure i can remember them all, i'll post if i can remember more. hope this helps someone...
