[peanuts]

Was tootling along the A 92 betwix Arbroath and Montrose over the cristmas holidays when i spotted this place through the trees .

is what appears to be a yard used for restoration of hgvs knocked on at the house adjacent but noone home so wasnt able to get any more info . anyway on with the pics

the Atkinson truck that first atracted my atention

looks to be slowly being restored were these built at the oldham factory ?

a view through the trees that usualy screen this place off from the road

not sure what this is but its in a very sorry state

full frontall

some farm machinery that also looks abandoned ( doesent it always )

dont know what was under here as two of angus constabulrys finest had just pulled up to query what i was doing so left it at that

interesting place that i hope to return to for more info

Very nice place and very nice pictures. Is it a junkyard or a place for truck etc to be restored.

Nice find, Central Motors of Carlisle are still going I believe, the lorry in a bad state is a civvied AEC Millitant.

Nice find Peanuts, I like that Akti, and the AEC Millitant has certainly seen better days, but I have seen worse restored!! Shame about the fuzz turning up :-(

I think the guy who owns these is a timber contractor - there are often Ford County or Valmet extraction machines sitting around as well.
