This flashed up on my Youtube feed:



Soon to be recommissioned/scrapped I guess?

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 2010. 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...

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 an see him, or ask him when he is at a CCC rally, which is not very often now.
