tilley parts

scrap yard up the road from me has loads of Tilley parts, vaporizer's in waxed boxes, hoods, frames, other bits, and loads of tilly 250 iron bits, this is in Addlestone Uk,

he will keep them for a few days, then grind them up
if any bits needed, let me know

 

I would urge you to grab them all! Are they for free? Get them then ask if anyone here can use the bits, we’ll probably bite your hand off.

 

@CRAZY CRAB I second that.. surely too good to mulch??

 

All of them asap and we can settle up later!

 

In my opinion, it should all be saved.

 

The vaporizers would definitely be worth it; I don’t see someone putting used vaporizers back into the waxed containers.

Let us know if he wants a fair sum for them, I for one; would definitely donate.

 

And me.

 

will go there and take pics, best way, with part numbers , any one for a tilley 250 iron,

 

the tilley lamp hoods, are the double skinned ones, these me trying to separate them , DEEEEERRRRRRRRR, thick ohhhhhh, , no one told me ,,, and I have found out were the bits have come from

 

Really? Pray tell??

 

Buy everything! At double the scrap value whatever the parts are, they’re a bargain!

 

For the second time, don’t me crazy, be savvy, get them all!

 

will get what I can, with cash i got spear, loads of 250 iron parts going realy cheap, , the old paraffin ones

 

606 and 169 vapourisers are always needed ! as well as any hoods, burners etc

 

You sure this isn't a wind up?

 

No

 

It’s a no brainer ........ if you don’t buy the lot, you will regret it.

will talk to the scrapy monday, as all me time is taken up turning me van into a camper van over the weekend, and money is a bit short so I will get what i can

 

Has this highly captivating thread fizzled out?

 

It’s looking that way...

 

Get’em while you can! A deal like this doesn’t come that often!!

 

no, should be going tomorrow,, been working on me camper van , now all done

 

I'd be surprised they are still there, probably made into bean cans by now

 

fingers crossed,

 

Is that what cans are made of Paul? I must admit I never gave a thought to it, although now you mention it i spose why not ?

 

I am supprised to read no one has taken action.

 

Yes, makes your toes curl, innit? I mean, I would bend over to pick up 5 cents, let alone making a tidy sum of nos Tilley parts, plus making friends for life.
But by now I think someone is pulling our leg. And if indeed such a supply of NOS stock would be laying around, no scrap dealer worth his or her salt would process it as metal waste. In this age of the internet, only a few can rightfully claim ignorance.

 

@M.Meijer

Not that many years ago I arrived too late to secure a large amount of original Series 1 Land-Rover parts including many panels. The scrap dealer could only see aluminium.... the lot had been crushed.

 

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it go online...

My sister lives in Surrey. If I knew the name and location of the scrapyard, I'd send her round 'holding folding'...

Oh dear, that might have given you dominating thoughts for a while, Stevie.
In the world of classic (british) motorcycles, these stories or turn of events abound. I guess there are such tales in any field of collecting. The positive side to it is that what is left, has gained appreciation and thus will likely be preserved.
