well this scrap yard is just a load of feild oowned by an old man on some country roads in the middle of no where =D Which is why you can find anything there from waaaaaaaay back, it's great.
The van was quite a rusty thing, would probs cost a lot to do up.....but who knows, one day...dare i say it. Don't tell my mother...

wow, what a place
think there's a future in "retro scrapyard world", a fun park where lots of people pay to walk round a field full of rotting old classics? think i may be onto something here
Not so wild an idea- people pay good money to crawl around muddy woods firing paint at one another 'n Scrapheap Challenge is popular enough on the telly

Good find. That disabled vehicle should not be there they were government property. They were ordered to be destroyed in the 70s. It might be worth a fortune . there is a website dedicated to them.

wow that is one rare scrappie, as said above, the ones local to me, are full of modern cars, very rare do you find a mini or a metro in them.
Now if I cold find one full of vw's I'd be happy
