    Parts hoarding

    Sad news. My tropical clio williams is headed for the scrappers. As, for reasons too complex to explain, it would cost me more 30,000 GBP to keep the car beyond end Feb. I am thinking of stripping out some parts to hoard. Simple strip jobs only. The car need only have 4 wheels rolling, a non-functioning "visually" original engine and body panels to be towed to scrapyard. Ideally, the stripped item should be something small & hard to come by these days. But the rims and front seats will be kept. So what parts do you guys recommend stripping out?

    I dont like the sound of this post mate - any parts you could remove would be worth saving.
    Do you have acsess to other wheels that you could fit from say a 1.2 clio or even a mk2 clio?

    Fitting on steel wheels from elsewhere, and keeping the gold rims. Still on factory paint but the edges have seen some pavement scrapes. Is the inlet & exhaust manifold unique to clio williams?

    Don't suppose it's a W1 with yellow front fogs that are in ok condition?

    White fog lamps. Not quite the exact specs as any UK clios, but closest to UK's phase 2 clios.

    Just realised I may have mis-represented the condition of on my car in the photo. The photo is a many years old, I was using it to show the white fog lamps. The car is a lot worse for wear nowadays.

    @katbloke: Have been advised it's about 3000GBP for container shipping cost to uk. It's just not worth it.
