     Sure, there's lots of them (as in many countries in Europe. Don't have 
     any specific numbers /addresses but I'll see if I can find anything 
     out once back in the office (a few weeks). Normally takes car apart 
     and sells the stuff (in good shape) at good prices.

Is there such a thing as a wrecker/breaker/junkyard in Sweden? Any idea 
if one would be willing to ship parts, like some in Britain, or would 
they be all-you-can-eat-self-serve like in the US? Any contact info? TIA
