    I thought it was scrapped because I took it to a scrap yard................

    I'll bet a crisp note that you actually sold it to a *recycling* yard.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I know the scrap dealer gave me a slip from the V5C but I won't have it anymore, or if I did, I wouldn't know where it would be now.

    You should have been a given a certificate of destruction if it was going to be scrapped.

    A lot of people think a car is ready for scrap when it's not.
    Sounds like OP thought the same.......

    The scrapper probably did the work himself and sold it on OR somebody bought it and did the work.

    No I don't watch, or have even heard of Scrappers!

    It just perplexed me to see my old car that I thought was nothing more than a cube of crushed meta, driving around perfectly fine!

    I would have tried to sell it, but the work I do, relying heavily on a full working car meant I couldn't afford to run a newer car at the time, whilst trying to sell another, or risk not having a working car to get to work so my only available option was the scrap yard.

    I went food shopping, and saw that my local Co Op now sells TVs! I thought they couldn't, as they're a food shop?
    Same argument. Scrap yards don't just deal in scrap.

    It doesn't matter anyway, because it's no longer your property. They can do what they want with it. If they wanted to make it into a space shuttle and fly to the moon, they'd be within their rights to do so. :p

    That's some Scrapheap Challenge! Even NASA would have had difficulty getting a space shuttle to the moon.
