Blackborough House Devon

Post by Hell Driver » 22 Dec 2010 08:38 pm

I might be passing the famous Blackborough House Scrapyard in Devon in the new year and was thinking of calling in to see if there's anything 343 shaped there for bits. I just wondered if anyone on here has had dealings with them?

Yes, but it was over 30 years ago when my Dad picked up a bonnet for his Citroen DS!

I called them yesterday, no older 340's (343's) I'm afraid :(

Anyone know of any older cars in scrapyards in the UK (3 door 343's up to 1981ish), esp. in the southwest?

Hens teeth I know, but as I'm passing :)
