Today we went scrap yarding in Seaforde to hunt for parts for the Rover 3500 SD1, Vandem Plas Efi that my husband is restoring.
We headed of at just after 10.00am and met up with the other 2 club members in Seaforde before travelling to the scrapyard. During our visit we found a number of SD1's unfortunately the body panels were not in good condition. We spent about an hour looking at and talking about the other cars that were in the scrapyard. This scrapyard really is the land that time for got - the majority of the cars were from the 1980's and many of them have obviously been here, untouched, for many many years.

Some of the car that were in the scrapyard
From this scrapyard we travelled on to another scrapyard somewhere near by (have no idea where it was and wouldn't be able to find our way back to it), in the search for Rover 75 parts.
This scrapyard stalked much more modern cars and the lads spent about an hour walking around it whilst I waited in the car. After all the time spent the only thing purchased was a Rover 75 manual, last of the big spenders here.

From here we travelling into Ballnahinch for a very late lunch. We opted for a take away from Herron's Country Fried Chicken, we sat in the main square and ate and chatted until it was time to call it a day.
A great days craic, a tasty lunch and a lot of Rover talk!
