Motala? There was -maybe still is- a nice junkyard. In 2000 I've found there a 1964 VW 1200, freshly "imported" - in best condition even with the ignition key, only the battery was missing. Unfortunately we couldn't pick it up completely (the trailer of my luxemburgish friend Joseph was still loaded with the perfect 1974 K 70 L in "made for S"-version, plus a chopped-off sunroof-roof of a 1956 "Ovali" on a roof-rack on the K 70), so I only could take the -absolute mint- interior, the enginelid and some other smaller chrome and interior parts - for a ridicoulous price. But it was sad anyways The Swedish have still wrecked incredible masses of classic cars back then... My friend from Vesteras told us, that only split-screen Beetles were accepted as a classic, the ovali just since short time, and the 1958+ versions with the big back screen not at all. So of course not all the many 1303 S, 1975 Golf I and so on. In 1999 and 2000 I've been for two times to Sweden, not lone, one week and 2 1/2 days. But in this time my friend and me have visited all reachable junkyards just around Vesteras and Avesta. I remember, that I've seen there, some even freshly crushed: Mercedes W110, Borgward Arabella, Hansa 1100, Opel Rekord A Coupé, VW T1 Bus, plus uncountable masses of 60ies Volvos and Saabs and even more masses of all kind of early 70ies-cars... |

Annother question: @atom: are you visible here? Incident, event, style and appearance of everything/everybody looks very much like that |

As a visitor or a driver? Maybe you have tine to check the "bildemontering" there (if it still exists). Fortunately I'd known this Swedish word before (indeed one of the most essential terms at all, you have to know it in many languages!), so when we passed on the N50, I could make the junkyard-alert-yell |
