RUST at a guess. Or just aspirational tw@s upgrading to 'better' cars. Or the pensioner owners dying.

When to this scrap yard to day its only 95mile from my house. The 5 door 360 is now minus front screen and rear tail gate.

They also have another 340 1.7 in silver as well but a bit battered.

I have to say I have never seen so many renault 12's,15's and 17's it was amazing and ment i could rob them of all the bits of engine missing from the black beauty.

The people who run the place were friendly and even let me use a few of there tools, prices not to bad as well.
