	Right,I thought I'd start a thread about this "magical" place that is Hardings Yard in Cornwall (Behind Castle Motors) as it may be really useful for lots of people on RR to find some parts for old cars, or just ponder over the photos I post up!! I call this a Proper Scrapyard and is the very yard where nearly 2 years ago I found my much loved, 1 owner from new, KE70 Corolla for the price of £250 ;D There is LOADS more interesting stuff in there and there is plenty to be saved or made use of!! ;D SO here goes........ My first shots from back in may 2008...... Triumph Dolomite Scimitar Moggy and Austin (+ Fridge :lol:) Another Moggy Austin 1100 (I think) Morris Marina Estate XR4i Robin VW Bug And now some recent ones from Oct 2008..... Robin got one over 2 Supras for the first time! Dolomite is still here with more trees....... .........But we looked inside this time...... .......And the seats look ok!!! Double take Broke-back mountain......... .........of wibblepoo!! Proper yard!! Ford Lorry Moggy traveller wagon Mazda Digging for gold!! Leafy 'Tina There are more finds in there too and a few of the spots in the first lot are still there like the beetle and the xr4i. Ill be popping in there every so often so will add to this thread as and when! Oh and as a bonus, I was chatting to the friendly guy who worked there and said I got my Corolla from there! He saw it in the car park and couldnt believe I still had it and how good it looked now! He was even the guy who picked it up from the wife of the deceist owner and drove it to the yard!! I asked him nicely and he had no probs with me taking some pics of my car where I found it ;D

	Great stuff! I love proper scrapyards like these. Looks like they have stacks of retro cars and not much modern bilge too!
