Address is Balby motor spares, Greenfield lane, Balby, Doncaster,south yorkshire, DN4 0PW. 01302 858805.

I have some photos but I cant put them on.

seems like i cant get the pictures to load either dont know how to get them on many thanks

some pictures for you everybody[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Shame it's in a scrapyard, it doesn't look too bad at all. Possibly even 'part restored', judging by the areas of red oxide and very shiny front chromework (unless that's just the photo).

yes thats what i thought could be restored and put bk on the road

Definitely deserves to be rescued!

Does anyone know the current status of this vehicle? Could be an interesting half project?

I went yesterday as I bought the gearbox but there are still lots of bits on it and he has another minor give him a ring

does it have a diff?

Any one know how much he wants for it. I want to save her from being scrapped.

Phone numbers at the top of thread ring him and ask but I doubt he'll sell it, he makes more on parts.

I'll give him a phone thursday and see what he wants. or go up persionally begging him cos i've been looking for a minor for 6 months and got no where.

Also been told if its been registered as scrap its not worth buying it as dvla won't re register it

Phoned up and its a breaker

Called in here today and he's got 3 minors one he wants to sell complete and 2 others have some bits left just give him a ring and tell him Simon from West Yorkshire Morris minor owners club told you to ring.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Just spoke to him he wants £500 for the Rose taupe one and he says it's got an A series unleaded head but it does want welding etc

FYI it wouldn't need re registering, as far as I'm aware DVLA hold vehicle details for two years after a vehicle has been 'scrapped' just in case anyone wants to put a 'scrapped' vehicle back on the road! I bought a moggy that had been partially stripped from a scrap yard earlier this year and had to apply for the log book after it had been sent off. It cost the usual £25.

Is that even if it's been through the scrappage scheme?

No but if it was scrapped under the scrappage scheme you wouldn't the car in a random scrap yard. There is only one firm that has the job of disposing of the those vehicles - so I'm told anyway...

Saw your pics and rang them as I needed a diff for my Traveller - got an axle for £100. Rare to find all the bits and got free brake parts too.

The grey car could be a goer 500 for a complete anything is good these days but unless you have a handy weldist or some equipment the cost could rise.

Anyway thanks for bringing this yard to my attention. Trust me to pick Easter weekend for buying seals in a hurry:)

Glad you got sorted out that's why I put it on.
