Parts Rummage at "The barn"

Message

MG Mal · #1 Post by **MG Mal** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:20 am

As some of you may know, I rent a barn in near Wetherby (north Yorks) where I currently store most of my fleet and more parts than I care to count. (read thousands)

As I now live in Wiltshire, getting up to the barn on a regular basis to sort stuff out for moving is difficult at best.

So, I was wondering (knowing how tight things are for everyone these days) if people would be interested in a "Parts Rummage"?

Most of the parts are as yet "unidentified" but range from early BMC up to and including MG Rover.

There are also a few project /long term stored cars that need to go.(mainly 80's and 90's Mg's and Rovers)

If there is sufficient interest, please let me know what dates would be best for you?

I would think a weekend date would suit most.

The barns facilities are pretty basic, so a "call at the services" before arrival is advisable.

There are so many parts I have never had time to identify most of it.

There are 4 giant crates of the stuff (equal floor area of 3 large pallets each) + 8-10 pallets of unipart and branded parts.

I bought them as part of a dealer clearance for the Maestro and Montego stuff, only to be let down by the majority of people who did'nt even like the idea of paying "cost + transport".

I am an "over enthusiastic" enthusiast for all British cars, and spent a few years trying to help out the owners I new through various forums when they could'nt locate the parts they needed.

I only have unipart catalogues and the Austin Rover + MGR EPC's on disk, so for earlier cars I have no reference for the part no.s.

I know there are ford parts as well as land rover and lots of pre 80's stuff mixed in.

There are lots of "BL" logo'd stuff as well as parts with the BMC rosette on them.
