Author admin    Category Uncategorized     Tags

I’m sure you will all appreciate running a website isn’t cheap, so to help keep developing wrecks2riches.co.uk into the best salvage site on the web, and to ensure we always have the best content, hints and tips available, we are offering various advertising opportunities.

The advertising slots are available to anyone and everyone, be it a Salvage Yard, a bodyshop, dealer, repairer or anyone else who would like to advertise on an up and coming site which is now receiving hundreds of visits per day!

The following are the rates for advertising:

Graphical Ads:

768 x 60 animated or static banner ad at the top of the page under the header, this appears on every page of the blog giving you excellent exposure. You will also get an introductory blog post introducing your company. Price £50 per month. 1/1 available

Text Links:

All websites wanting text links must be related to salvage and wrecks2riches.co.uk reserves the right to reject requests that is inappropriate. Payment via paypal is required before any advertisements are put live.

Advertising options


I’m sure you are asking yourself what will be done with the money from advertising. Here are the key points I’m hoping to achieve.

1) Site redesign, more pages and more useful content with hints and tips on repairs, and the best places to source salvage and parts.

2) Directory – a detailed directory digging into the best salvage sites, repairers, and dealers. There will also be the opportunity for YOU to contribute and add your comments and reviews.

3) A guide of buying, repairing and selling a salvaged car, with a real life example, detailed step by step on the site. Purchased, repaired, and then sold.

NASCAR for sale through bluecycle.com

Author admin    Category Salvage     Tags

Bluecycle.com, the online salvage auction site have somehow come about a piece of Nascar history, and are offering it for sale soon! Full details below.

Looks like a seriously rare car, which no doubt will go for some suitably serious ££. To me it would make more sense to sell through AutoTrader, a specialist trader, or exotic car dealer. But this may mean that you may get a bargain. Cant imagine many people who want to buy salvage cars are also in the market for such a collectible car!
