Thought this might be of interest to some, a look around a Volvo breakers.
I thought some of these looked like they should be saved. Such a shame. https://youtu.be/_DB4V943HNE Cheers, Luke |

I last saw it about 4 years ago and there is nothing there now by comparison - gives you an idea of how big it was back in its hay-day! Even when i saw it, a lot of it had gone to scrap. I know it's run by two brothers (Barry and Bernie if memory serves) who are both about as old as Volvo themselves and understandably shutting up shop to have some retirement.

I stopped by a couple of months ago, cant remember which one I spoke to, but they were both extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. It seems these places are few and far between nowadays.
I know if I lived nearby I would end up round there most days!! They do take orders over the phone and will post to you
