New log book/scrapping car query.

[John]

Hi all, i've not seen a new type log book. Is there still a box on there to tick if you break the car up yourself? if not what happens now? I just used to give the shells to the local rag/bone man lol

[Pistol Pete]

IIRC there is a box that you tick to say it has been scrapped. Date also needed.

[John]

deffo on the newer type logbooks pete?

[smeagol65]

its the yellow slip you fill in on new log books as i have just scrapped my escort van

[John]

cool, so i can just fill it in the same as the old ones. Good news :)

nope the reson thay changed the logbook was to do away with people saying thave scrapped cars when thay havnt.
the way you get rid of shells is call up the local dvla registerd scrap yard and send it on its way with the id.
also john you should have a new logbook as i got the new style one when i got the astra i sold you. have you received it?

lol thats been technically illegal since about 2002!

[Ben]

edit on a side note all i ever do is sell the scrap to the pikey with a hi ab then fill in the yellow slip and send it off as sold to scrap dealer/trade.

shhhh lol

you scrapped one with a new type book ben?

[Ben]

the red fronted ones?

Yes as said i just fill in the yellow section. As i dont actually weigh them in, i would do what you have always done John, pillage the bits you want then ring the local with a hiab get it taken off the drive then get him to sign the yellow slip as he is trade and he is buying the (whats left of) car.

then send the yellow slip off to the dvla to get it removed from your name and it will get officially scrapped when he takes it over the weighbvridge.

[Rickyb]

/\ i never thought of it that way but yes in theory you could do it that way lol.
john i hope your not planning on striping the mk1 estate down?

I noticed if the car is cut up into pieces you don't need the logbook as it's classed as scrap metal. Unless it has changed in the last 6 months.

thats correct yes.

[Rickyb]

yeah but the vehicle would still be in your name and you'd have to keep sorning it

I have heard of some people just registering them to fake names and addresses lol
