RE: Scrappage carnage detailed

I'd say from zooming in, most of the vehicles appear to be large batches of identical models, whihc would indicate storage of new vehicles rather than collections of old ones.

Not sure about the grouping towards the East end of the runway though.

I wonder what that cluster of blue cars could be on the south side of that runway? Perhaps Ford SportKa?

I go there fairly often for work and it's used primarily as new/ used car storage.
I don't reckon many of any at all of the the scarp page cars are still there. I'll ask when I'm next there

These ones still look like scrappers... https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.2307522,-0.45783...

I can't imagine new cars would be parked end-to-end to create a ring fence around a parking area.

Some of the parking there looks a little more haphazard than the rest of the site, which is all pretty uniform.

Looks a lot different on Bing Maps, lots of vehicles parked bumper to bumper towards the RH side by the race track.

Agreed, that's what I thought in my original post.
