Charlie Trents biggest in Bournemouth, years ago could go in there and pull bits off yourself. Fun climbing up 3 cars to reach the one on top, then the crane would come and start lifting the car on the next stack. Had to wave, shout, scream until you got the crane drivers attention.

Then it went off the shelf only.

Went in the other day for a bit for the Punto, had to pay a ?1 to get in. Had a few Rovers, mainly older ones, no ZS's or ZR's.

Got the Punto bit and the guy said the ?1 entrance covered the cost.

There are a couple of breakers round the country (Roverbreakers.com for one) that buy up every scrap MG or Rover they can find no matter where it is... which leaves local scrappies without.
