Who's car was this... ???

DOUGLAS VALLEY BREAKERS LINK

I've always thought they overpriced their stock, but this is a new level of hopefulness!

oh thats mine!
As soon as i saw the title my heart sunk. I just had a feeling.
That is a complete right off and can only be used for spares.
I feel sad seeing that again. . . .

More likely the same plates and chassis number, but a very different car!

For over £3k I doubt it will be used as a V5 donor (unless the scrappy sells it separately - which would be a very bad idea if he were caught).

If you could get it, with v5, for £2k you could legally rebuild into a new OEM spec chassis and avoid IVA. Assuming the engine's ok that wouldn't be a bad deal.

when they collected it it had no plates or chassiss plate on it. Surly this means that they cant even prove that the v5 belongs to that car. I did sign ownership over to the insurance company. Due to it being a cat b right off i was not allowed to buy it and repair it. So how can it now be sold for on the road?

If it was Cat B, then I'd be on the phone to DVLA... they're selling it as a road legal track car!

Salvors usually pay 15% of payout value for cat B's, Bi22le now knows what the markup is!





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
