Disposal
DorsetStrider - 1/9/09 at 12:50 PM

Hiya guys,

Just a quicky, what is the current thinking on disposal of the donor car? I seem to remember at one point there being a discussion about letting scrap yards take it but minus vin plates etc...

I can't remember the out come of that discussion thou, or the even find it now.

Oh BTW I'm hoping for either a "Q" or failing that an age related plate.

I think if you want a Q plate you don't want to be able to prove that the parts came from the same doner.. So I don't think it matters???

For ours I removed chassis no. ect before scrapping and keeped the V5... as I wanted a age related plate, which I now have.

So to keep you options open I would remove the all id before scraping and keep the V5 and SORN it.. But maybe things have changed...

keep the vin etc, remember a q plate is questionable age but age related can have a private plate if and when the owner wants to change. It can also aid the resale value

True but remember that a "Q" plates emissions for future MOT's are "does the car appear to be on fire"
