The yard has been there for as long as I can remember and being right alongside highway 31 (Melbourne to Sydney) until the town was bypassed some years ago everyone knew about it.
The main reason the stuff is still there is that the original owner had a reputation for being abusive and difficult to deal with. Most likely because he was abusive and difficult to deal with. To put a kindly spin on it, possibly this was due to him being sick and tired of tyre kickers/time wasters.
Apparently the obstacle has been removed as eventually happens in these cases.
I have too much stuff myself so will not be there.
Sudden thought! Perhaps I'm difficult to deal with?

Haha, might be a good policy David. You and I both have experienced our share of difficult collectors and MV owners to learn from over the years!

I was at the Bookham yard a few years ago with the Austin Champ Club, the green Humber in the shed still has the auction number on it and apart from mice and crap is in remarkably good condition. One of the Ferrets is still looking good inside but outside isn't to bad due to the dry air down in the Yass area. No engine in the carrier from memory and I still have photo's somewhere. They wouldn't sell anything then so someone has passed on to the the great big scrap yard, oh well I hope something gets saved.

Can anyone do a more accurate id of the "English or LP1 carrier" and report on what is there of it?

Hopefully these photo's will give a better description than my memory of the carrier, not sure were or date of manufacture. Got some of the Humber and Jeep n Champs.
