In Hoppers Breakers,Electric Ave.,Witton, Birmingham 0121 327 5585

19RD Hatch "C" Reg in grey.Must have been driven in as key still in ign.

Looks rust free. Everything still there and all panels usable.Engine looks

fine....not covered in crap. Only damage is broken windscreen and o/s

headlight.

Such a pity,really. If you want anythig be quick,you know what

scrapyards are like.

Depending on your kind of interest and way the place works, it might be worth asking if certificate of-destruction or scrappage paperwork has been been done ,though it's pretty much a foregone conclusion nowadays.

That's if it doesn't have a car-shaped roofrack already, or hasn't been transformed into one.

That would be a Mk1 then?

Yes,it was a Mk.1. It would have been very savable I thought. They
have put a car on top of it ,but the doors still opened and closed OK
I was so shocked when I saw it I started shaking. It"s the first one I"ve
seen for absolutely ages.....and its in a bloody scrapyard.

A real shame, I bet its already had a certificate of destruction made out. May call in sunday or monday and have a looky although I dont like visiting scrapyards these days. Ive rang them and they are open 9-5pm weekdays and 8-4 saturday.

Not open Sunday I dont think. I was looking for some Xantia bits,but
nobody has any Xants at the moment.Must be getting a bit thin on the
ground now as well.

Bar the stratford meet, i havent seen a single BX on the road since i moved house, not even in a scrap yard. Hardly a surprise these days though.

Is it worth giving the scrappers to see if a certificate of destruction HAS been ordered before I head down monday and start taking bits off?

I"ve just been in touch with the "Man". The paperwork has been done so
its no go for a towaway I"m afraid,but as said all parts are useable.
I"ts a busy yard so get there quick otherwise there may be damage done!

Post by **Tim Leech** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:31 pm

OK well im heading down Monday morning to take a looky if anyones interested??

Be quick, its getting knocked about alot, what a shame as theres no visable rust and the paintwork was tidy, interior too was very good aside the usual drivers seat wear, theres a mondeo on the roof which is now buckled. 109000 miles so maybe worth having some oily bits although its has since been "depolluted".

Such a shame.

No pics

I didnt take my camera as it was rather dodgy looking yard in a even dodgier looking area, I took one on my cameraphone which I will sort out.
