1990 340 1.7 breaking in Rutland

Post by foggyjames » 05 Nov 2012 11:32 am

Hi folks,

Just a quick "heads up". I've been told about a 340 1.7 breaking in a scrap yard in Seaton near Uppingham (Rutland). Here's a pic...

That's about all I know, but if you need any bits, it might be a useful point of contact. The yard is apparently friendly and cheap.

cheers

The bodywork looks pretty good on that. I know someone in Seaton, Rutland, been there often. Never noticed the scrap yard though!

Oh yes, that rings a bell ... A little way out of the village, in the valley IIRC.

Lovely countryside round there, a worthwhile trip even without the car parts.

Cheers
