HMM, I'm not so sure- there must be a point where if GTA continue to get broken up for spares that the parts also start to drop in value....There seem to be lots of potential scrappers about at the moment which is a shame.
How many wings, gearboxes do each of you need?
Someone must work out how to repair drive shafts soon- because there seems to be a real demand for those...

You could easily get new driveshafts made up if the demand was there ,probably on a par with repairing the old ones .

I think we are already there. The spares definately outnumber the cars at the moment so to all concerned please don't break any more!

I've broken 2, both being CAT B write offs, beyond economical repair (and sold as spares never to be put back on the road anyway).

From these parts I have saved several cars from the scrapper, plus doing my bit for the old carbon footprint by recycling :wink:

My current project car however the jury is still out and we have not had chance to look at the damage.

Back to the topic though, Pug 205 at number 37 :?

Also the car pictured is a member isn't it Stephen? Clive Speight I think from Yorkshire?

Beautiful? Not so sure!

One of my favourite ever cars is the Alfa SZ, but you could never accuse it of being beautiful!
