Wow! that's an awesome collection of scrap!
I'm jealous.

However as a scrap yard - I don't think it's the ultimate as they don't seem to sell much.

WOW!

The old storage problem.

What a shame. Looks like most are completely knackered and trying to rot back into mother earth.

Some really nice cars there, shame they will never turn a wheel again.

Oh my god !!!! I didn't know whether to jump up and down in excitement or cry. Where is that place, its amazing. Is it a breakers yard ? Just looks like an eccentrics private collection almost.

What are the odd markings on the door of the Morris Van (248) does anyone know ?

Its in Switzerland. Go to Google Earth and type in Kaufdorf and its lower right. Think I may have seen this on here earlier, though that could easily have been a different scrap yard in the UK.

Are these Minors too ?

And this ? Looks like one, but not sure.

Same place, but different photographer.

I think the nearest one is a Vauxhall Velox, similar to the one below maybe?

iirc I read about this place in practical classics (the one with the soda derusting how to in it) and It was a private collection and the local government want it shut down but the local enviromentalists want it to be left alone as a nature reserve!!!

Crikey! Over here the Environment(al) agency would have shut it down and locked up the owner decades ago!

Correct, that's the same place as in PC mag.

Great!
