Default Scrapyard watch

Hi all just come across a Wedgwood blue 75 at GW Bridges yard Crawley Sussex. It's a 1.8 club on a Y plate, not sure if it's an SE. It must be new in as barely touched. Panel damage to drivers side wing and doors other than that it's intact.

Might be an idea to have a sticky thread on scrappies...... Ahem, recycling centres that can be updated as cars are found. What do you lot think?

Jay

Good idea!

This car must be a recent arrival, as I was at Bridges just a few days ago for some Peugeot bits & there were no Rover 75s around.

There had been several, inc. some well-specified cars (plus some MG ZTs) until quite recently, I'd posted about them a few months back.

There's a few Rover 45s too.

Cars don't seem to hang around for long in the main yard at Bridges...

DONE: HAD A CRAZY IDEA THAT I HAD TO GET RID OF MY MG ZTT DUE TO NOT HAVING A DRIVE AND HAVING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET WITH A VIEW TO GETTING ANOTHER ONE AT A LATER DATE WHEN I HAVE A DRIVE.

ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE

Forecast for tomorrow is good so I may have a trawl round the scrapyards in Colchester to see what - if anything - is available for our cars and add anything of note to this thread.
