My parents had bought themselves a new car so for my birthday I was given there 2 yr old Audi A3! 

13 months later my parents demanded that I start making payments as it was still in HP. I was to pay £259 a month which was outrageous. My parents were also concerned that I was putting a lot of miles on the clock. The car was never a gift it was literally a means of controlling me. The only document I had that linked me to the car was the VR form being in my name, I should of given the dam thing back

I then fell out with my parents & because of this they hired a lorry loader to remove my car from me without any notice. Having the Audi removed upset me but having toxic parents do something like that to you really hurts

Did I have any rights? What kind of parents do this to there 42 year old daughter! Im in the middle of writing a letter to my mum & dad for closure! They certainly left a daughter fully scared for in her adult life 

You were 48 in another thread? 

You also have a mobility vehicle (another thread), so just hand the audi car back, and cut ties with your parents if you want too. 

You are one hell of a detective!!!!

This was going Back roughly 5 years ago! If you read my 1st post I mentioned it being removed via a lorry loader! My reasons for asking such a question is Im writing a closure letter to my toxic parents, one of the topics I want to mention is the removal of my Audi! I should of given the poxy piece of tin back before it was taken from me. I wanted to know if you gift a car what rights did I have. If your saying nothing then so be it

Not really.
All posters' threads & posts are there to be seen with just a couple of clicks.
The thread mentioned by 7jax where you mention being aged 48 was posted in January this year.

When did this incident about them removing the car happen?
Did you actually pay the £259 per month?
Were you up to date with the payments?
Are you sure it was your parents who arranged the lorry loader or could it have been the finance company because the payments weren't made?

Given the health issues you have, do you think sending this letter to your parents will do any good?
Will it make you feel better?
Will it make them feel guilty?

If you are already estranged, wouldn't it be better to leave it like that?

Maybe some sort of counselling would help you understand the relationship between you and your parents.

No rights. Just emotion. it wasn't theirs to gift. Assume you are no longer the registered vehicle and this was sorted back then?

Seems odd to need to know your rights if you are seeking closure. 

You have the right to be annoyed but no right to the vehicle

You have the right to as much/little contact with your parents as you would like.

As for the car, look on the bright side, you had a 13 month loan car for little (financial) cost

Your absolutely right & also 2 very nasty parents who wanted to teach me a lesson in not arguing with them! 

I had toxic parents as well. The best thing I ever did was cut contact with them, including blocking their phones and email addresses.  I'd tried doing the explaining, arguing, trying to make them see another point of view (not just mine).  Eventually I realised it was futile and detrimental to my mental health.
