Right went and saw this today. It is a black edition and its the 2.2 hdi so Its one of only 150 ever made. The drivers side ring and door are dented and the back bumper is cracked but apart from that its mint. Especially the inside apart from the drivers bolster is worn. Battery was still connected and I found the key under the sun visor. No signs of life though so i presume the battery is dead.
Went and asked at reception what the deal was with it and the guy didnt know anything about it and said the cars out the front werent owned by the yard D: I have come to the conclusion that the police must use the area is a store for confiscated vehicles as they all had police written across the windscreen. I have however seen these cars move from that zone into the yard itself so i presume that is when the owners dont collect them then they go straight to scrap.
Id like to save it if possible but I guess Ill have to wait until the scrap yard knows more. Ill be back in on Saturday as I spotted this!

Mint leaf pattern half leathers. Immaculate drivers bolster! One fag burn on the passenger seat
Crystals too. Guy said I could have the interior and crystals for £72. Bit steep imo but Ill get it anyway so it doesnt go to waste. Give me a PM if youre interested!
Also mint boot lid, rear bumper etc.
So today I got:
Silver Dash (some bastard ruined it with a screwdriver but Ill fix it and respray)
Wing mirror Covers
Clock and Temp
Map Light surround and all lights and sensor etc.
Ecu cover and fuse box cover.
He wanted £20 so I paid £15 in the end which isnt as good as it used to be but oh well. Apparently they have a new pricing stratergy for 2013 as they found people were buying the parts off them and selling them on ebay. So this is meant to stop people doing that. But imo its going to put a lot of people off.
So to make myself feel less ripped off I got a 5 finger discount on:
Clear indicators
interior
Heater Panel Bulbs
interior screws
Top Mount covers.
