You're thinking of Blackborough up in the Blackdown Hills...

Article on the Devon Scrap Yard
http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_sty...

I went there 15 years ago and there must have been more than 500 cars from 1930-1960 outside. I was shown round the inside of the house where every room was stuffed to the roof with car parts - one room, doors, next bonnets etc. Floors and ceilings bending under the weight.

Came away with loads of bits for a Standard Pennant I was rebuilding at the time.

A magazine article a few months ago said that many of the cars outside had been removed and the place generally cleaned up.
