 Here is a great story form Justin Pardy

 

Hello all
I had a trip out Saturday to pick up an oil cabinet down south, it happened to be next door to scrap yard which I have been wanting to look round for years, so I wondered in and asked if I could see their petrol pumps. After a chat with the owner and showing him my collection he offered to show me round 😃
The main yard is huge. There must be cars going back to the twenties rusting away. The owner is a hoarder though with museum syndrome, one day but by then they will of rusted away 

There are sheds full of parts and tools for vintage cars. He said him self that they just don't know what there is any more 

I saw my self a tin of tax discs going back to the 30s or older and oil cabinets and tanks 
One very early castrol oil cabinet with transfers in a barn
A near mint royal snowdrift round small enamel sign plus other signs 
1950s sun engine tuner
The wayne fuel tank on wheels and gilbarco pump, pictured below

There is also flat Head v8s lying around
I only saw a small section. You could be lost in there for hours
I tried to by the gilbarco but no luck

Happy hunting 
Justin
