"You've NEVER Seen a Volvo Yard Like This – And It's About to Disappear | IMSTOKZE

Farewell to a Volvo Institution: Lake Autos Breakers Yard Closes After Serving Generations Tucked away in the heart of Bedfordshire lies one of the UK’s most iconic Volvo treasure troves — Lake Autos, a family-run breakers yard that’s been proudly serving the Volvo community for over three generations. Since the days of the Amazon and 140 Series, Lake Autos has been the go-to destination for enthusiasts, mechanics, and restorers seeking parts, advice, and a bit of Volvo history. From 1960s classics to modern-day Swedish staples, the yard is packed with everything from rare trim pieces to complete engines and body panels. Whether you’re chasing down a 240 tail light, a 740 turbo block, or just exploring for inspiration, if Lake Autos doesn’t have it, it probably doesn’t exist. But beyond the parts, it’s the people that made this place special. The old chap who still runs the yard is a walking Volvo encyclopedia — quick with a joke, generous with his time, and blessed with that brilliant old-school sense of humour you just don’t find anymore. It’s not just a breakers yard, it’s a place where Volvo stories, passion, and knowledge have been passed down like heirlooms. Sadly, after decades of service to the classic car world, Lake Autos has been sold to American developers, and the site will be cleared within the year. That means now is the time to visit — stock is still available, and the atmosphere is rich with nostalgia. Whether you're a long-time Volvo lover or simply appreciate the magic of automotive history, Lake Autos is worth the pilgrimage. Visit while you still can — and grab those rare parts while they last. 📍 Address: Lakes Autos 143–149 Great North Road Wyboston Bedford MK44 3AH 📞 Tel: 01480 212291 📱 Mob: 07958 750406 ✉️ Email: [email protected] 🎥 Watch more rare car finds and restoration stories: 🔗 IMSTOKZE YouTube Channel Thank you for watching—this is IMSTOKZE!
