Remember going to scrap yards every sunday morning , taking parts from cars stacked 3cars high lol getting parts for my mk1 escorts back in the late 80s and 90s. Unusual to see it is still allowed to this day. Great place 👌
& I think it should always be allowed, as getting useable parts of a car that's scrap is the ultimate in recycling & keeping motoring costs down.as long as you don't have to be a mountaineering expert to climb up too high a car pile😂
@@mikemartin2957 the yard that just closed down local to me, used to stack them like that, the owner or the worker, said use the ladders lads, dont climb up on them. But we used to climb up on them anyway. Still had to be on your metal around them lol, but what fun we had, even having a bit of a crack on with the owner or the worker at the time. Getting to know you and a little discount here and there, not to mention the 5 percent one.
Brings back memories of going to the scrapyard with my dad. No health and Safety BS. Imagine if you will a small disabled kid walking on two sticks being allowed to roam freely round with cars stacked high swaying in the wind.
I was that kid and I lived to tell the tale.
We’d always go to the chippy afterwards, good times.
First thing I do when I get up is stick your video on everyweekend without fail 👌
Can't believe you had to travel a 7 hour round trip for that footage but just shows how enthusiastic and dedicated you are to your channel and we appreciate it,gotta say I had the mg metro in white and red and loved it and only sold it after a few months as got bored🙈🙂👍
Thanks so much for your kind message yeah i do have to travel far and wide, but its all for a good cause!....I appreciate you taking time out to watch my content.
Now that's a dream scrapyard. Nice video man
Stokzeeeeee 👊.... morning all..... 70s / 80s classics 👌
bloody hell stokze the distance you travel just for you viewers, you're a legend man.
Wow! That blue morris marina brought back some memories at the start. I got given one identical to that 30 years ago when I was 17 haven’t seen one since!
Those XR3i’s look surprisingly solid.
I had a one like that, which just closed down last year sadly, yards like that are becoming very rare now sadly. Shame you couldn't have gone further in, but as you say, you don't want to over stay your welcome. Very surprised that there was a mk2 escort! id have thought that would have been bailed some years ago, But then again, things as old as that, may have been in the yard for well over 30 years and just left, and the newer stuff has basically hidden it. Also another yard me and my mate used to go to, had the common cars, like 8 years to 10 at the time, maybe the odd newer car in. They used to put the much older stuff up the top of the hill. We spent more time up there, than we did getting the parts for our cars, We were always amazed to see what had been brought in, some right old rare bits of kit, two Austin princesses , the cans were worth a few quid, i later found out, i could have sold those, me and my mate missed a trick there sadly. They crushed them practically intact too, i do also remember a cortina Mk4 saloon in, mind that was rotten as a pear. We had a sniff around it, and pushed down on the rear of it, and the backend just collapsed. Not sure if the shell had split in half or the chassis connecting the rear axle just gave way, it was that rotten. Looked like it was a possible restore project that was far to gone to save sadly. It was like buying a round of drinks at that yard, what you got all together lads ? some of it was 30 quid onwards, he used to look and say just giz a tenner.
Amazing one Stu brings back memories of my dad taking me around scrap yards like that ❤️. Glad to see they have been picked well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent video !
I could spend hours in the scrap yard
I always love the smell of the places too .
Same here mate. I use to go to loads of yards in the 90s. I would swing from one car to another. Good times.
@@danthecarman8440
Me too mate
Every Sunday nearly I was down the scrap yards looking for bits for whatever car I had at the time
And once I was done there was a bigger van on the road out that did a killer bacon sandwich 🤣🥪
well that was good and some good classic and mini vans shells wow and a Riley 1.5 wow
Absolutely worth it, I could have watched an hour video on that alone, and could quite happily spend an entire day walking round it. Bravo sir!! 👏🏻
That scrapyard belongs to a friend of mine and is just a short drive from where I live. It’s a working garage - must have got there pretty early 😉
Capri 2.8 injection old Citroens, Morris, Ford, Vauxhall, the odd Jag I think the bit you missed might contain Rover SD1s and P6s always present in scrapyards especially if Austin Maxis are present. Great video of a 1990s scrapyard.
Hi Stu,
Knew where you were at the cleared location as I planted the eucalyptus as part of a trial plot. Always enjoy your adventures 😉
Oh no way, That's awesome, would love to know more about it if you didn't mind please bud...
i had a austin maxi harvest gold in the 80s brilliant car just needed oil all the time lol it used to take me from west midlands to burnley no probs very good engine in it again just used a lot of oil another great showing again keep up the good work imstokze 🚙🚙🚙
I'm so glad I've got memories from growing up in the 90s going to scrap yards most weekends. Can't believe there's still such a big number of these cars just sitting in fields like this. Don't think that that was a wasted trip I enjoyed your video👍🏻
Do like a good scrappy brings back all the old memories, taking the toolbox in and putting bits & bobs init for my Opel Kadet,Priceless thanks for making the effort Stu 💪
Argh an old school scrapyard with cars stacked up .Love it. Good variety in there one of the MG Maestro's has been there since 2004 so quite recent . Well done again your dedication shines through.
Great video stu, amazing location,love your dedication, travelling over 3 hours😮,thank you 👍👌😀
What a place!! Great film, loads of cars from my growing up years. The Talbot was a Horizon if I remember. Two brilliant films this weekend 👍
I think that one was a sunbeam (rwd)and the horizon replaced it and was fwd
That looks very cool scrapyard used to love going to them and climbing 3 cars high to get bits of them
Health and safety Has spoiled lots of stuff tbh
Nice find mate. Some proper classics there!
Would be good to get a look around there
Glad you said that, also have a soft spot for a mg metro have fond memories of bombing around in one with my mate we went halves on it back in the 90's chucked a disco speaker in the back and went everywhere proper rag box we thought we were the bollocks 😂😂 great fun and a great time to be alive... I only came for the theme tune 😆👍👍👍
that's my local scrapyard... still open to the public... also has a rolling road.
Ahh okay, was told its abandoned!! Cheers
i know exactly where this is the owners are local legends
Can't believe all those cars are still there takes me back to my Capri days when every scrappy was like that ,the cars were still affordable , awesome nostalgia trip buddy 👍
There is an old railway tunnel in Oxfordshire rammed full of over 200 range rover and land rovers, I'm suprised you have not covered it ,it's just outside Andoversford on the Sandywell Estate. A 300 yard long Tunnel divided in two.its well worth a visit.
great video stuwith a great choice i felt i was there as well looking around remember lots of them when new and to see them now,would rather have them too modern cars.Appreciate all your hard work and dedication you put into your content.
This reminds me of the saltley gate scrap yards back in the 80s and 90s taking parts off for my ford capri or the Audi coupe GT.
Well those can’t be saved Stokze unfortunately… if any body tryies to rebuild one or any of those cars it will break their pockets. Well some people but that’s a great find.👍👍😎😎
This guy deserves a medal for his great videos, a trip to Japan next for jdm cars 🚗
Scrapyards were great bk in the day great video stu 👍👍
The green Talbot was a Talbot Sunbeam, the lotus one is technically the original hot hatch, epic rally cars aswell 👌🏻
Proper retro one that . Nostalgia in there for me !
What a find stu there's alot of gems there alot of classics, that green car is a talbot sunbeam that mini van looked decent enough such a waste.
Haha wow!!! I remember sneaking into this very scrapyard about 3 years ago!!! Lots of cool stuff but be careful as the owners were around when I was there!
Also, I won’t disclose the location as it’s a functional yard and not abandoned.
That scrapyard takes me back. With the age of the cars where you went in, it’s like a scrapyard from the 90’s, when me and my mate were finding parts for our first cars, to repair or upgrade bits 😊
Kills me seeing all those poor Minis 😢
God damn there’s some historical cars here, I’d say a lot could still have usable parts/panels. There’s definitely a lot of glass that could be salvaged. If that was BX Turbo they’re so rare !!!
Thanks for your hard work and showing us 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Remarkable finds. 12 30, a Talbot Sunbeam ? Rare and in great demand by the rally people. The BMW at 15.20, unreal, how many are left on the Road ? 4?5? Could have cried when I saw the state of the 2.8 made even worse with a cactus car dumped on top.... :-) Great explore, many thanks!
Absolutely brilliant video stokzey ❤️ 👍 waw all those classics wish I had that yard I'd set about trying to restore them brilliant
I enjoyed that scrapyard Stu, what was there left me speechless. You need to go to the ones in Scotland next, Stu.
Stu you are a legend brother, not many can be bothered to travel and document tings like these amazing cars!!!
Great video as always; Loved exploring scrapyards when I first driving
Nice
...your passion for finding these Car is class... some old buggers there....
Didn’t expect an upload this early, no other way to start a Sunday👌🏼
Every sat & sun at 6 am bud been doing it this way for 4 years haha cheers chap
Shame the first location was completely cleared of cars - liked the quick explore of trees though!🤣
At least your drive was worth it finding that huge scrapyard! Great video 👍
Hi brilliant video I love Range Rovers I have a 2006 Range Rover sport 4.2 supercharged I hope you get one of those Range Rovers keep up the good work and videos Bernard
Morning Stu
Excellent video - I defo & I think I speak for all 100,000% appreciate ya travelling around long distances to get all this Amazing Content - Amazing RR barn Find & a mixture of Classic & Retro = an excellent weekend of finds - you've done Trucks - Cars - Tracrors - would love if ya could find a motorcycle grave yard
Keep up the good work my friend & stay safe out there 😎👍🏻😎👍🏻
Wow a proper old school scrapyard brings back memories of being a kid going with my late dad at weekends and going home with loads of car badges
There's a few bits there for my own classic mini l lol
Awesomeness channel and daamn so many phones around i will took them 💙
What awesome place ...👍all the old cars still some gold mine parts to be found ....
Not as bad seeing them in a scrapyard as you know they've been used to keep others going and were broken when worth very little. It's when you see them left to rot when complete and saveable is worse
Some great parts to be had in there.
Your family car history sounds as eclectic as mine. Up and down on the cool scale like a yo yo 🤣 my dad had had a ausi charger/ Morris minor/ golf 20vt. Now a Nissan micra 🙄 class find 👌
🤣🤣🤣
What a contrast in locations. Shame the first had been cleared, hopefully for parts. Second location was epic. That be worth twice the journey time and did indeed have something for everyone. This location should be visited again as soo much has been missed which isn’t surprising given how much is in it. Stu your content keeps improving.
Cool video dude. i think i know exactly where this place is! they guys that own it are total geniuses
Smashing video again, I could spend all day in that scrap yard 👌
great video ! 🙂
Them polo coupes are going up in price. Seen a white one there. I bet a few people would like or maybe able to do something with them minis. The mini van somebody got to try and save that.
There is some gems in there even a triumph Spitfire
As always, one exotic after the other!
At 15:10 minutes, this is unfortunately a very, very rare BMW 1602-2002 "Touring". It even existed as a Munich Autobahn police car.
Greetings
Klaus from Düsseldorf
Great finds Stu 👌 keep up the good content.
Hiya stu yea totally awesome that last find so many car's and commercials great video as always many yards getting a thin one the ground much respect to you and the channel ♥️👌👍
Top of the morning stockzy bangin video thanx for time finding this 1 for us til next week don't u go limiting urself m8👍👍👍👍
Like the way they parked the car by maker. Could call each path like Austin avenue and Mini Mount
Hi stu some Montegos in there mate my dad had two Montegos and a maxi when I was growing up great find mate
The green car with the mopar sticker was a Talbot sunbeam, That's a top location if you ask me,
Been watching you since your very start more or less and must say the time and effort you must put in to achieve your content is fantastic...the last visit to that scrap yard took me back to the 80s just fantastic content keep it up look forward to many more 😀 👍
Hello from france 👍
Nothing beats an early AM upload
even better under a barn roof stokze
Amazin stuff..thanks!
Nice find that. 👌 always a pleasure finding a mk2 escort for me.
Happy to see a lot of abandoned minis there . Hopefully they are left rot away.
And again you bring us great content thank you for your time and effort as always stu 👍.

Enjoyed that one stu.👏👏👍
Some cool finds in that place you can’t beat an old scrapyard m8
nice one stew that was a good one fella
Wow another awesome find loads of classics rotting away such a shame
I enjoyed the Range Rover/Discovery collection yesterday Stu, people still collect the early Range Rovers, and a lot of the 3.5/3.9 SE’s and the 4.2 LSE’s are very much a commodity - people use them for special occasions and holidays - and another one you want to look out for The Range Rover 3.9 and 4.2 Vanden Plas (they were Japan only) these are worth checking out.
Mains Motors scrap yard used to be fantastic for old cars, especially in the wooded parts .
nice find love those 2002 bms those tailights look nice 😎😎✌✌ till the next 1 safe travels brother
