I tried writing scrapped on the logbook with a covering letter for a donor I had, got a letter back a month later with a 90 quid fine for not using an authorised vehicle dismantler  Consistency is a wonderful thing  |

What did you do with the shell? I've got a friendly local scrapyard who will take a logbook off me even after they've had the shell, and issue a certificate of destruction. Talk about it not being what you know, but who... Shell was cut up and weighed in in small pieces, it really was just a bare shell by the time we had finished. I was only young and just paid it the same day to avoid issues. |

Which they probably realised and decided to take advantage of you Motorist is the cashcow again 🤬 |

Doesn't go into my system at all. I can normally give a scrapping date and check if cars have been exported. Maybe it's been on a private plate so I can't see it. Has anyone got an old ref they know is long scrapped so I can check the system is working still. Gotta love it when old employers keep the same password I know M231 LYM was scrapped years ago if that helps your cause? Scrapped in 2010. Lots of info there for this one.   I've matched the jag vin in the op to a different reg. Barely any info or v5 dates unfortunately. At least it doesn't have. A scrapping date so maybe it's hidden away somewhere |

Shows as scrapped or still as a vehicle on the system? If it's the latter, then you'd have to say the system is not working, unless it was very recent & it's not yet been input It doesn't show as scrapped, I don't think (DF51NWW). I'd agree that the system may not show it as scrapped, but either way it's not registered to me any more  Not showing as scrapped. V5 owner changed twice last year? Interesting reg change. Would appear to have a private plate very similar to its original reg fitted at some point? When did you send letter off? |

A scrapping date so maybe it's hidden away somewhere Thanks for looking into it. Number plate is now apparently F430 FCC, which I can only guess means it had a private plate at some point before being put back onto an age related one. Anyway it does now come up on the MOT checker and seems to be the right car from colour and reg date, obviously not been in use for some time. RIP! |

Hi, AFAIK if the car goes onto a private plate and then the private plate is moved on again the car goes back onto its original plate not an age related one.

Maybe that is a private plate and the owner had or would like a Ferrari 430 perhaps.

Yes it does seem a bit odd, could be a not very obvious private plate, like somebody's initials or something. The roof did leak from the factory so not at all surprised it didn't survive long!

V5 owner changed twice last year? Interesting reg change. Would appear to have a private plate very similar to its original reg fitted at some point? When did you send letter off? I'd have been the one who bought it in March 2020, I think. I didn't know anything about the private plate - I only bought it as a donor for my MK1 as it had a turbo VVT engine (and was utterly rotten). I assume the second owner change in 2020 is when I got rid of it - but no idea how it's been denoted on the system! I've kept the slip of paper from DVLA saying I am no longer the registered keeper |
