From leasbak, to proud family ownership, to car for Mothers, as a beginner's car for son or daughter ...
And then to the car recycling company. So the demolition. In the aftermath of a car life or a generation of cars, you cannot drive twice if you have no idea that a car should contribute to your status.
You write off the car by MOT. If there is something in between, you get it for two euros on the demolition.
And there are dozens of donors there. Until ... They are also used up.
That is the moment that people start to think differently about cars. Because where do you see - for example - another BX? And on which demolition do you still find BXs? And aren't those BXs actually the last Real ones Citroëns? Almost Real Classics or all Very Real Classics? Then such a car is suddenly wanted. And worth money. A happy possession.
There are also fewer and fewer types of scrap yards where you can tinker yourself. And just about that
to keep crushed BXs: one of our employees is already ready for her fourth copy. Because she doesn't want anything else. And her current BX? She no longer had that for 300 euros. It is a nice survivor with complete documentation.
The scrap yard remains where parts can be purchased. We have a tip.
At GAOS, Printed Car Parts Service in Emmeloord we found a whole bunch of donors. We are happy to pass on the tip. By the way, at GAOS there are mainly donors for readers of our sister magazine AutoMotorYoungtimer.
