so called enthuiasts that break everycar they buy even good ones ! ,more of these wonderfull little cars need saving theyre getting so rare on the roads

The really bad thing is this breaker breaks cars that have got current mot's no wonder he drives round in a Range Rover. Worse thing is the price he charges for his parts. I do know another breaker that if he buys a car that wouldn't take much to get back on the road he will get it mot'd and list it on ebay. Ok he still turns a profit but thats being in business

Is it Jones or Sims ?

[cabbydave1]

Jones has a Range Rover Sims has a beat up Vectra. One breaker sells parts at top dollar the other one will give you a part if your desparat. One is a nice chap the other is welsh
Im going to shut up now

That just makes the MK1 rarer. Pointless buying them to repair as the cars are always worth more in parts.

[SuperRedMR2]

They just have no love for these cars or anyone who owns one.

It annoys me how he claims to be helping keeping mk1 mr2's on the roads....well he is, but by extortionate prices to the real enthusiasts!

To be fair, they're not even close to being rare yet.

If that was the case Alex, I'm sure we could all make good 4-5 cars that he has in his pile! It's not even a nice picture to see on his avartar on eBay - that even makes him look like a c*nt

[JMR_AW11]

If you consider that thousands of mk1s will have been scrapped by now it seems silly to get stressed out over a few rusting wrecks stashed in a field somewhere. That must be all of a few weeks' worth of scrappers from the last 15 years!

At least he's breaking them for spares rather than just crushing them along with mainstream models.

Getting stroppy over his prices is silly too. It's up to the breaker to set the prices guided by basic supply and demand.

I like the photo, I kinda like the thought of mr2's being broken and scrapped in general.

It makes them rarer and eventually the good clean ones will start to stand out.

then when there are hardly any left, they'll be no main dealer support, no specialists left, no one manufacturing spares for them, no cheap second hand spares, no project cars......... and everyone will moan and wish they could turn the clock back to the good old days when the cars and spares were cheap and plentiful.
Be careful what you wish for.

I bet the mk2 dies before the mk1 at least the mk1 rots from the outside in unlike the mk2 that starts deep inside and slowly makes it way to freedom and hey one knackered car

I think you'll find that MK1s are utter rust buckets and rot from the inside out and vice-versa! Unfortunate, but true!

Its actually illegal to break cars in this way as they have to be stored on concrete and have some sort of sump underneath to catch any fluids leaking. Why do you think theres so many scrap yards closing down eec rulesand health and safety.

yes as much of the car has to be recycled as possible ,these cars were made before this idea was around but still it wouldnt be good for the enviroment if all those cars leaked there coolant,oil,and engine oil out into the soil

[tonigmr2]

It's true, they should be stored in a bunded area and you do need a licence for breaking cars nowadays...can't just fill a field like you used to be able to!

There are enough cars in that photo to annoy the Environment Agency.

[cabbydave1]

Perhaps thats why he doesn't give his contact address on his ebay ads unlike others

[pk_090]

I was forced to buy something off him and he gave a spli in the box whit all his contact details on.
