Scrap Yards

[MDT]

All,

Within central Scotland which scrap yards do you use?

Birnams are quite good if you're looking to get rid of a car. They can be alright for parts, depending on who you speak to.

There are a couple in coatbridge who are decent enough for parts.

Ah yes, it was more for looking for parts, thanks

I remember about thirty years ago wandering around this scrappy looking for a few parts to keep my old Cooper S on the road. They actually had E Type Jags stacked on top of each other and various Astons, Bentleys and assorted interesting old sportscars lying around the yard just rotting away.

Every part I ever bought from there was either 50p or a pound and I once climbed to the top of a very wobbly four car stack to liberate a chrome handbrake lever from what I think was the remains of an Aston DB6 but could well have been a DB5. Unfortunately I could not get it to fit my Mini.

General Auto's in Kirkintilloch used to be quite good.
