Typical of so many scrap yards in the 70s 80s and 90s.
Spent many happy hours plundering mini parts from old breakers. Such a shame that its mostly all gone now.

Had to go and buy a new battery for WMU the other day so I nipped down to our local mob at Autolec, got chatting about Minis with the old boys who run the place and one of them said his mate bagged a rotten 970 S for a tenner in 1970!
