Yank breaker - London

[V8mate]

Does anyone remember a guy called Keith; used to run an American car breakers on the south side of the Blackwall Tunnel, where the O2 arena (Millennium Dome) was built? He was evicted to make way for the Dome.

Bought a few runners from him in the mid-late 80s.

He was as dodgy as any breaker, but his prices were always low enough to make any gamble worthwhile.

After being evicted, he traded from home in nearby Poplar for a bit, IIRC (whole cars). Anyone know what happened to him or his business?

Oh - that's a shame. I didn't want to include the 'twitchy' bit in my OP; you never know who's a member here

Do you know if he left any kind of ongoing business legacy? I always felt that the Dome project ruined him; he was just getting into Maseratis too, before they bumped him off the patch.

Thanks for the info though!
