Classics Graveyard

[Richard A Thackeray]

I've just got back from taking daughter & her b/f. to a classic car scrapyard/salvage/sales
Boy!!, I know how to treat her!!

The whire MGB-GT that I've previously featured belongs to him, & it needs a spare wire-wheel, so we went on the 'off-chance'


Balby Motor Spares
Greenfield Lane
Balby
(basically the other side of the railway from Hexthorpe)

What a great place!!!

This was the first thing I spotted
Possibly an AEC MIlitant?

EDIT @ 20:05

The yard is at the other side of this bridge; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/325385

With regards to the Vitesse, if anyone want a reproduction (fibreglass) front valance for a MK I (1600) Vitesse, I have one that hasn't ever been fitted that you can have for free.

I saw a Matra Rancho a couple of years ago and got chatting to the owner. Only 6 left on uk roads, the reckoned.

I remember those coming out, & I think it was LKJ Setright (correct spelling.?) reckoning that it would spawn imitators
It didn't 40 years ago, but nowadays...………………………...…….

Which of the 1960's/70's classic cars is the most durable ( Land Rover excepted). Most were unreliable rust buckets but the Golf I and Saab seemed to soldier on as regular transport for longer than most types
