Your spot on, they are the owner of U-pull's own vehicles. He wont sell or wreck any of them and yes he has another shed with his better cars.
Makes a fortune too. |

I've always had a good look while at U-pull it thinking someones a lucky bastard, its obvious it was the owners cars otherwise they'd be out in the yard. Then who would be that stupid to put cars like that out knowing what they are. The sight of them all up there on them racks reminds me of them photo's of them barnyard finds

If you owned a wrecking yard and someone bought in an XY of any description, you probably wouldn't let people strip parts from it. At the same time though....lucky you-know-what..
