CARS FOR SCRAP.—There has been a remarkable response to Mr Herbert-Morrisons appeal for old motor cars for breaking up so that parts may be converted into armaments. Some of the vehicles:arrive at the collecting centres under their own power and others have to be towed. In many cases people are giving the cars freely, whilst many others are asking a low price for them. These pictures were taken at a South London collecting centre, where hundreds of cars are now being broken up. The car seats are sold to "shelter" owners before the vehicles are finally broken up.
