South Africa Junkyard in Bela Bela, Limpopo - Citi Golfs, Skylines (!), Mercedes, BMW, Opel, & more.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I’m in South Africa travelling over 5000 km in a Volkswagen Mk1 Citi Golf, made in 2007. I found a junkyard near the CanpFest show, which I visited to try and find some trim pieces for my car. I was surprised with the amount of cars they had, so I shot this quick video.
Unfortunately I have left the yard, so I cannot help if you need any parts from there, but it is called Grobbies and is located in Bela Bela, Limpopo, about two hours north of Johannesburg.

    My last Golf was the very last model manufactured in South Africa, only 1000 built. It had air bags, air conditioning, leather interior and a 1800 fuel injected motor. I'm so sorry I sold it. Great watching your content.👍

    Some of those cars brings back a lot of memories. I was surprised to see how well i remember all the the shapes and makes ... The car at 14:07 , is a Alfa Romeo Giulietta , 77 - 85 . And you missed the car at 17:32 , tucked away on the right hand side, it is a Rover SD1 . Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

    Great watching you enjoy our junkyards *almost* as much as we do... Pro-Tip: Not very often, but on some occasion, the junkyards with all removable items taken off and kept aside with no reference to the donor vehicle can be sketchy... (Speaking from experience, of course!) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 😎🇿🇦🤲🏼🕋👍🏼

    The Audi 100 (by you) was the Audi 400 /500 here. The 100, here, was the previous boxy (square-ish) shape. The 400 here, came with a 4 cylinder and the 500 with a 5 cyl. Then the 500 was "baseline" "e", more luxury se and the performance turbo models. The Passat CLi was the 5 cyl "Luxury" model. That Passat here came with the rectangular lights. All Golf 2 models came with single or double round headlights, and it was a known modification to swop grills and headlights (between the Jetta 2 which was basically a Golf 2 shape with a trunk /boot - sedan, and the Golf 2 - hatchback shape.) The Golf 2 was not available here as a 2 door. It was also known as a "Jumbo Golf". That one Lancia /Fiat you guessed, is an Alfa Romeo, about '84 model. The Golf 1, without the "L" in the C panel, started as the Golf 1, somewhere in the late (I think) 70s, the earlier shape, then upgraded to the Citi Golf, upgraded later with the "L" shape and other features, and ending in the Velocity. That Ssanyong is pronounced a SanJong Musso. That "boxy" Skyline, is known here as the New Era Skyline, and was manufactured here by Nissan. If you see, eg, "VW van SA" it will translate to Volkswagen of South Africa, same with the other manufacturers, like Nissan,Toyota, etc.

    Renault still very popular in SA, the green car was a Fiat 132 and the number plate ending on N and L is the same province, they changed the name from Northen province to Limpopo. Nissan Skyline was build in SA. The Vin plate actually states in Afrikaans "Made in South Africa". Window cranks are so cheap and easy to find for Citi Golf.

    Yes, Skyline was very popular and you'd see thousands on the roads. I'm surprised by the amount of kadets I'm seeing, it's rare to find good body parts for them. Passat was very popular too, Cli was a five cylinder, very luxurious.👍
