It's amazing what some people will send to the scrapyard. I wonder what they thought was wrong with it?

Nothing was wrong with it I think, there's receipts in the car that was made only a few months ago, it pulls fine and drives nice

It's amazing what some people will send to the scrapyard. I wonder what they thought was wrong with it? I once got a nice Saab 95 estate very cheap because owner had been banned from driving and lived in a house without driveway, it couldn't be parked on the road, therefore had to go to first person who turned up with cash after he got back from court. Maybe something similar ie owner had nowhere to keep it for some reason or other (banned, no MOT, insurance etc) |

Thats an option, but generally people who'd drive a modified starlet would know what they're worth? the scrap yard have £15 for it

Owner dies/in prison/travelling the world/any on reason. Family etc is sick of the sight of the "old car" so thinking no one would want it send it in for scrap.

I'm surprised that cars uninsured cars siezed have to be destroyed. I always imagined they were auctioned off or something. What a waste, nobody wins from that.

Wait, what? You saved it from the scrapper only to strip it?
Why is it not for sale?

Get that up for sale, you have a rare car there, and I'm sure someone will bite your hand off for it.

I know what people are saying, saving it from the scrapper only to strip it, but the place where I got it from don't advertise the cars they have in so no one wouldn't of known it was there, at least this way I get parts out into the community, and a hefty profit lol
