Default Possible useful Scrap Cars for spares in OXFDS.

Smiths of Bloxham have two 75 Tourers with still lots of possible donor useful parts. Prices are usually very reasonable.

Post code is OX15 4HD

I’ve got a near complete car for breaking but I’m not interested in going down the trader route on here. Once I’ve got the wheels off (locking wheel nuts)it will be off to the scrap man.

I would not expect that you would need to be a trader to break 1 car and share with members. IT would be a shame for it to go to the scrap yard and by pass members

I had a Rover 45 a couple of years ago with a duff engine. Told by a moderator I was not allowed to advertise on here unless I paid the fees. Got to look at it from both sides. Its not my full time job so I could be denying a trader an income.

That’s the one. It was collected today. It was beyond saving. Sills were horrendous, clutch was gone and being a basic spec it was rather unloved. A member on here who lives near to me had the front bumper and fan after hitting a deer! My only gripe was that I could not remove the locking wheel nuts and said goodbye to nearly new tyres.:

You can step up to trader on a monthly basis, £8.34 a month.
