The DVLA prob wont issue a new keepers certificate when you send off the V5!?

Why are you giving the tax disk with it? Keep it & reclaim whatevers left on it!?

split it, sell the engine and conversion mounts, and anything else, get the shell crushed (you usually get money for this).

more hassle but ensures you cover your back and get money in the process. Dont want to be liable for anything!!

Category B Vehicle is a Salvaged Vehicle, which is so structurally damaged, or devoid of parts that it is not possible to repair it economically or safely. A Dealer who purchases a Category B Vehicle (a "Category B Dealer") shall be allowed to remove salvageable parts, and shall then be required to dismantle the Category B Vehicle and crush the shell, frame and chassis in accordance with ABI guidelines. Air bags and seat components must be properly disposed of in accordance with manufacturers instructions, the insurance industry requires that these items must never be resold.

The processing of Category B Salvage must comply with the guidelines displayed in the "Code of Practice for the Disposal of Motor Vehicle Salvage" (ABI Code of Practice) issued by Motor Conference. (See 10.2.1 of this Document)

Id take the tax disk & angle grinder off the vin plate etc, remove plates just to make sure its not getting a new wing & put straight back on the road!!

Update

I've managed to persuade the lad not to drive it. Explained the extent of a category B. He's going to buy another shell, and swap everything over. He's offered £450. I'm going to do it.

I havnt got anywhere to really strip it, or the time as im busy in work lately.

I'm gutted but hey, still get some coin from it I guess.
