Just been to Harry Bucklands scrappy near Cheltenham and they have a G reg, 1990?, Scooby pickup in that is still complete, shell is knackered but outer panels appear pretty good and it has had new front wings fitted, surface rust but solid. Lots of other retro stuff as usual and still cheap

Could I be so rude as to ask what you paid? I haven't used Buckies for ages - don't tend to see many Metro Turbos in there! - but have thought about popping down if the prices aren't that bad. On another note, was gutted to lose out on a 1985 XR4i advertised in the local Gloucester paper (Citizen) this weekend. 12 months MoT and two owners for... £500. It got worse when I rang the chap and he said it had a genuine 39k with all paperwork. 01684 number so it was in Tewkesbury. Just wanted it gone, apparently... If someone had it on here then it would cheer me up. I expect I'll see it soon enough though at www.ebay.co.uk!

Well, if it ever does come up for grabs and you don't fancy it, let me know!
I know there's one meant to be parked up on a drive in the Coney Hill area, but not sure if that's urban myth!

red and blue ? rush green breakers on the codicote road ? Thats the one mate, you are in stevenage I believe? Bratman and Scoobypete, I will have a look and grab a couple pics. Sounds like the two scrapped by the gamekeeper near me (near Harpenden) this winter - he had a red one (A reg?) as his daily, and a spares one. IIRC, the red one had a blue tailgate on it, and the spares truck had had the engine taken out. They were scrapped when he pressure washed the red one for the MOT, and half the chassis rails came away along with the mud... Mechanically OK, but bodily messy.

Could be mate, bizarely there are a couple sat at the garage down the road too. These too sound like they could be the ones you are on about, very rusty! The chrome across the tailgate is missing on both, just got the one around the bed, its ok on one and buggered on the other. have taken a few pics, will load them up tomorrow

Al,no the rest of it was pretty Knackered....looked like it had been standing a long time judging by the spiders webs and the family of mices inside,I'm suprised the wings are that good to be honest. Thanks again for the heads up tho,they have come in very useful ;D
