- 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. 
Thank you for showing us things our own TH-camrs doesn't show us😂your enthusiasm is great👌
Do we even have any real TH-camrs 😂😂😂
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.👍
shame man
I had #168 🫶🏼
Mine was 847👍
I sold my R32 in 2016😢
Pp
that black golf at 11:47 use to be my brother in law's around 2019 did notice it with red and the blue like green paint on the body and old number plate did stay about 28km from there in modimolle
The level of knowledge you have on these cars is on God's level.
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.
What up, Jamie, awesome vlog yo. African junkyard is freaking amazing. Thanks for sharing.
SOUTH African
South Africa
Damn, crazy to see so many cars that were common here seemingly not too long ago litter the junkyards now. Time flies.
this is really interesting, thanks for sharing this video.
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!) 🤦🏻♂️🤣
😎🇿🇦🤲🏼🕋👍🏼
Bela bela is where i was born and grew up. Been to this junkyard as a kid many time. Was so nice to see this video😊
That cressida must've been there for ages. I believe thats the old Limpopo numberplate. More than 20yeara back.
the Nissan Skylines were sold here, My father had one, back then it was either a Toyota Cressida or Nissan Skyline very long cars but your dad was balling if they drove those.
I swear u lived in SA🇿🇦 some time ago!
Sad u missing the Eurotripper but ,thanks for showing us love!
Weather will take its toll to those parts kept totally in the open ...
Thanks for the upload bro, will pass this video to as many people as I can.
Yeah watch out for ticks..especially the tiny red ones.
Great content.
Especially liked the Mk1s..had a few of those.
Subbed.
man how pissed am i that i was at the cape town VW meet and i just didnt see you hope you come back hope your road trip goes great bru!!! 17:25 i think that might be a ford faremont judging by the door handle and window line
That is a R31 Skyline, the R30 with the 4 circle rear lights are the super rare ones that were also sold new in SA
You missed the mazda 626 egi most iconic motor used for turbo back in the day.. and that nissan with the wing you liked is a sabre you dont see them in good condition anymore
The Sabre GXi was such a great car!
The red coupe is a Datsun 140Z, great seeing you go through the yard. I haven't seen some of the older cars for ages. I'm also a VW fan, have had many golfs and jettas over the years.👍
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.
I once saw a renault 5 in Durban. It was hilariously small, what was funnier is that the old man that hopped out of it was at least 1.9-2 metres tall XD
Orange coupe after the Fiat is a Datsun B 210.
I know this place 😂 very interesting that you came from England and found it. I was looking for a Rocam 1.3i engine block. Love ur channel ❤
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.
Welcome back bro .. excited to see whats next
Love to see foreign junk yards, fascinating. Btw the green fourdoor @ 8.05'ish is a FIAT 131.
I'm in Bela Bela right know, I live there, I was lazy to go to Grobbies till I saw that 5.0, I'm going to buy it
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.👍
I grew up in SA and remember seeing Nissan Skyline`s everywhere, the South African Police back in the day used to drive the 3L 4 door, painted yellow...
All this stored outside under the sky.... So many 116's...
Team Jesus sticker... Didn't help the car too much. 🤣
When you picked up that metal numberplate. 🔥😂
Yes. We do also have ticks in the long grass.
Im glad that I was able to meet you in Kariega aka Uitenhage.
Thanks again, for graffiti-ing my book. 😁
Wow this is very organised
That's such a old school scrapyard. Most of the ones I go to are all new cars not old ones like this yard.
We love our junkyards Jamie 😁✌
The Voyage next to the Fox looks like a Opel Kadet estate.👍
Cool video! We had the Passat Cli here, not too many on the road these days unfortunately!
Sound like somebody I kinda know by the voice from a game by the name Rayheon,
Anyway, love the video, great to see this stuff aswell the video was just enjoyable overall, keep it up man!
Would love to meet you at a Vdub camp fest since you are into CLi cars

We did have the CLi passate and also the Skyline GTX - round tail lights with straight 6 engine

The airintake at 9:59 is also on my 83 preproduction mk2 GTI. As far as I know used on all the 84 modelyear mk2 gti
Them skylines where used as our police cars at one stage

I had no idea South Africa had cool cars
South-Africa has some of the coolest cars in the world, some were made esp for the South-African market too.
Where in limpopo
There are many of these type of junkyards in South Africa It's nothing unusual
Fun fact the skylines were used by police in South Africa 11:06
And traffic cops.
