I can remember the days when you got paid scrap money for an old car

Wondering how many people have sold a car as scrap then a few months later done a vehicle check online only to find that it's back on the road? more common than you think.

I have known this to happen a few times so when my old car was going for scrap it went where I got proper paperwork to say it had been crushed. There was a dismantler had the door linings, seats and interior dashboard from it and somebody else had the engine swap for the same model which had blown up, but the weight was right when it went away. Paperwork was delivered within five days. Better safe than sorry.

Yes you are correct Shaggy this type of incident is more common than people think
This happened to me with the aforementioned Speedy Skips.
An old lady was told by her local garage that her car was only fit for scrap, took it to Speedy Skips who then issued a "Certificate of Destruction" for car.
They then "sold" it to a garage in Upper Dounreay. who then obtained a duplicate MOT from Northern Motors, and then sold it onto me.

Police not interested and Trading Standards "investigated" but nothing came of it.
Be interesting to see which garages issue the most duplicate MOT certificates
