I can't see any of those being scrapped until they have yielded every useable part, hence a price of £7.5k for the Bx Gti shown first. I looked around that Onyx Sei back in 2009. I wanted a 2.1Td manual, not a 2.0i Auto and the prices at that particular specialist were always known to be rather high.

I'd be interested to know the Rp number of that Swedish V6-24, as it's has the post 1992 climate control and interior, but is wearing a J plate.

There was a comment in the Comments of the video that a chap went there to buy a couple of cars but the 'Seller' didn't seem too interested in selling :-) and when he did want to sell the prices were astronomical. He wouldn't allow for one of the cars to be attached to a battery to see if it ran or not but wanted running car prices apparently.

I'll surmise.

A couple of jack-asses that make money on YT by trespassing on peoples private property and filming private items want a couple of cheap classic Citroens.
They know of a stash of cars so approach the owner and suggest "marketing" the cars in return for buying a couple of real gems at knock down money.

The owner, who is a long time classic Citroen trader, tells them how it is... :lol:

He is well known for selling quality cars that are excellently presented, but charges a premium. He has kept some of the choice ones for himself.

If you want a car, or parts from this trader, just phone him up, or go and see him, or ask him when he is at a CCC rally, which is not very often now.

Ahhh......so 'beware the written word' when it comes to YT comments.
Thanks Dieselman for clarifying the seller's position - seems much more reasonable (and believeable!).
