Great list so far guys, keep it coming! Any pics of your legendary finds in there as well are always welcome. I can't be the only one thinking if I go off on my hols somewhere to call in to a scrappy barring the very bare skeleton of an early 70's beetle , this was the oldest treasure at orchards a couple of months ago.

tom didn't know quite what to make of what was left of the saab but was very happy with the vintage dunlop tyre iron he found , he was most upset though when I informed him that just because we were in a scrappy he still couldn't go around putting windscreens in with it!!!

Hoppers Autobreak, electric avenue, witton, Birmingham.
Prices are good and you can still wander around at your leisure. Only down side is they have the local contract for the dvla untaxed vehicles so the turnover is high. Most cars are crushed within a week and old stuff over 15 years old tends to get crushed on arrival unless it's something special.

Can I just point out that there aren't any laws stopping yard owners letting customers look round cars themselves. In my job I go to a lot of scrappies and the main reason why they have stopped letting people wander around is plain theft - people helping themselves to what they want and not paying. It's a common complaint with all owners. There's no reason why a yard can't make it safe enough for people to wander around, the EA Environmental Permit it should hold doesn't stop it and neither does the council supplied scrap metal dealers licence. With the metal price being so low and prices for Cat B/C Cars being high I can see why they want to protect their livelihoods, they need t sell every part they can. One of my local scrappies, a guy I have known and dealt with for 30 years explained to me EXACTLY why he no longer allows mooching. It's very simple, the 20 grand per year public liability insurance premium! The blame culture has killed mooching, far more than any government or council legislation! Another (and better for retros) yard nearby still allows me to wander about and take parts off myself! But this privilege was earned by a similar 30 years familiarity and is definitely NOT available to all, so I won't list it here! And we have a gentlemans agreement that if I cut my finger, I won't sue him for 2 million quid! Steve

Yeah I think thats mainly the problem, we'vce got a local scrap metal yard (not necessarily just a breaker) in Wisbech, we've known him for about 16 years so he's happy for us to wander round, but that doesn't apply to everyone, if I find something I want we swap/trade etc, and they're happy to get something out so I can remove parts, but by the same token I don't sod him about, and he gets all the stuff I weigh in as a matter of course.
