Parts Rummage at "The barn"

Post by MG Mal » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:27 am

As some of you 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.

Im looking to clear a lot of stuff out, so plenty of chance for a bargain (just ask Chris)

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.

Count me in then. I can do pretty much any weekend with enough notice.

Trying to see if I can get together a "Multi forum" jaunt to the barn.

More then welcome to catch a ride in the Landy Chris.

I need to make a big effort up there, so for the "willing" there will be a good chance of serious bargains if they can identify what they find LOL.

have slowly been making space up there, so I can get the parts spread out more for inspection.

Once we have set a date, I'm sure we can arange something Alex.

I will probably work it around a Sat/Sun that suits most people, then travel up early doors and book a travel lodghe or something for saturday night.

If your up for a "stop over" with the likes of me and Vard then we'll work it out once we have a date suitable.

It would likely mean that you and Vard will have to stay at my place on the Friday night.

Then up and out by 4am latest :shock:.

That way we could reach my mates cafe near wakefield for around 9.30 for a full english, then up to the barn for 11am ish.

Drag cars out, use the old flt to lay everything out for the "possible" saturday peeps to rummage in the afternoon.

Shut up the barn as it gets dark, then off to the hotel for a well deserved shower (believe me it will be well deserved), then a take away and a few beers etc.

Up early again sunday Morning (6ish) to get back to the barn and start all over again. :lol:

I just have to see how many people want to go to make sure its worth while.

Its about time I sold on all but the most needed stock, so that I can get my garage built and get the cars I'm keeping down here.

Sounds like a plan! :D

I'd have to avoid the first half of September though, as I have a Montego to take to Romania about that time...

I'm up for that.

If there really is such potential for bargains, I might take the Legacy up and fill the back of it with odds and sods - dibs on that sole as-new GTi Roversport! :P

Only dates I can't do are the weekend of 23rd-24th July, 6th-7th August.

I think that's it.

That Rover Sport is here Chris. :wink:

Was planning on listing it tomorow, but I might do you a deal on it :D

Its looking more and more like 3rd /4th week of september at the moment.

Although depending on current situation, I may get a chance to pop up earlier to prepare the place a little.

I should also add that I am pretty tied up all weekends until after the 6th/7th August.

This is a daft question, but what cars you got "available" Mal?
