About time I updated this, its only been five years! Called in today for a nose about. Mk3 Astra still has engine Interesting Vitti Cav Tatty E Coupe MR2 Ford Probe LHD, US Import or just a Euro Spec? Not sure. Tigra Sad looking Alfa 145, another left hooker with a complete looking Boxer engine. Shame about this Micra as it looks fairly straight. And finally a lightly modified Mondeo.

One of the few that still let you in too, all you need is a high vis vest and they give you them at the gate.

Sad news but not exactly unexpected, in business for 104 years apparently.

Yup, very sad news indeed. Great bunch of people there. Would be good if someone else bought it from them as a going concern although the site will probably be sold to developers.

I think the land is in one of those locations where brownfield development is very much on the cards.

I was in at the weekend getting tyres sorted. They were saying the yard is closing to the public at the end of the month and the tyre bay staying open a few weeks longer, if anyone wants to snap anything up. I did see a very rusty rubber bumper MG and the back end of what I think was a blue P6 on the yard.
Sounds unlikely it'll be taken on as a going concern which is a shame, feel for everyone working there.

Surely the land can't be developed?
It's had 60 odd years of oil and wibblepoo seeping into it

They’ve been building on landfill sites here in Kent for a good few years, my dad used to tip chemical waste of all sorts for a waste company in the 70s to many of these sites in Kent But money talks with developers and it’s hushed up
