The Model A in the jaws of the crane appears to be a 190A Victoria Coupe.

It is an English Scrapyard . That's a Morris 8 on the far left .

Looks like a Ford Model Y on the crane.

They passed a new law in 1960 in the UK ,

requiring all 10 year old cars to pass a MOT test , Brakes, Steering, lights etc etc.

Unfortunately a lot of the pre war cars were not worth what it would cost to repair them.

That's the cleanout I referred to in my earlier post. There would have been some bargains around then.
