    I'll start with probably the biggest one on this island: Traynors 048 38891242

    As the phone number suggests, they are based in the North (86 Armagh Road, Moy, Co. Tyrone), but the clever thing is that they deliver (literally from the back of a lorry) to many places in the Republic. Dealt with them once myself and they were professional, timely and got me my good condition second hand part for about a quarter of the new list price

    Kinsella's Car Dismantlers
    Red Cow, Naas Rd, Dublin
    Tel: (01)4640726

    It's just off the M50 (Naas Road junction), across from the Red Cow hotel. Prices are fairly good, and it's one of the few places left that lets you browse around the yard by yourself.

    They occasionally have a few older/classic cars there aswell.

    I prefer that though.

    They will take larger things out for you if you want, such as engines, gearboxes, etc.

    Kilcock car dismantlers, savage place. Lets you go and get the bits yourself


  • Registered Users Posts: 586 ✭✭✭8~)


    Maybe of interest to this forum, a yard near Athlone currently has a couple of Bedford HA vans, a Mk 1 Viva, remains of a Triumph 2000/2500, 2 Rover P6s, 2 Morris Minors, RWD Kadett and a couple of Mk 2 Granadas. I reckon all are parts only; nothing available to restore because if they're in the year they have been declared scrapped. Pity because one of the P6s is complete and has its old red plate on the rear.

    Reid Car Dismantlers, Suncroft, Co. Kildare 045 526 766.
    Only opens now and again. Has LOADS of 70's and 80's cars.

    Doyles Garage, Courtown, Co. Wexford. Main Peugeot Dealership. Apparently they have a field full of scrapped (older) cars, but have no interest in selling parts off them?. Perhaps somebody here has persuaded them to sell some parts in the past? Let us know if you have.

    Kilarvan Motor Museum, Kildarvan, Co. Kerry. Small family-run car museum. Have many old cars for spares and may sell parts to enthusiasts.

    There are dozens of old cars available for parts at http://keephergoing.comKeephergoing.com
    You can also find parts for the older car and there may be the possibility of acquiring a 'project car'.

    He has some really rare beasts in that place (according to his site anyway), such as an Austin Montego, Maestro, Honda Ballade, and an American-spec. Ford Probe.

    It's a badly laid out website though, where is he based? I wasn't able to find an address on the site.

    I was down there a couple of weeks ago, scrapyards gone pretty much, there's a new driveway up to it and it's gone through where the scrapyard was. Some lovely cars there and all restored by the owner pretty much, very interesting and helpful man. He's been collecting for over 40 years now.

    Thanks for the list shagman ...very useful to have all the details in the one place!

    However, I suspect most of the dismantlers listed only stock newer model cars, circa 1990 onwards.

    Where are KE Distmantlers located in Kildare? Contact details ?
    And when you say "KE has the biggest range of older cars IN THE COUNTRY!" what age bracket of cars are you talking about?

    Cheers,
