Hi all, I seen this little beauty the other day, a series 2a. The car was sent to the scrap yard for the government scrappage scheme, I think this car looked way to good to leave there so is there anyway it can be put back on the road?
After speaking to a few people we thought the only way this would happen was to put it on a new chassis and try to register it as a Q plate, only problem being as I don't know much about this.
Thanks in advance [emoji4]

Many a good landy lost to this abomination of a scheme but I think it has ended now and as it has not been scrapped you may be in with a chance. Saw an old Transit the other day with sticker on the back that read"I survived the government scrappage scheme"
 
For what the scrap yard owner was saying the chassis isn't allowed to leave unless its crushed whereas most of the car can be used as parts, I've got a mini with that sticker on the back also
 
As I understand it the whole vehicle is supposed to be scrapped. The chassis and engine are identifiable so cant be used on road. Wouldnt it be naughty if someone welded in a repair section with a different chassis number.

Scrappage was another one of Gay Gordons poorly thought through schemes. It took the wrong cars off the road. In order to get excessive payment for the elderly car the owner had to buy a new one, these are the people that generally could afford to maintain their cars, so the scrapped cars often excellent. The old wrecks that were run on a shoestring were left behind. No wonder its so hard to find any car at all worth buying below £1000
 
I contacted the dvla seeing if the chassis was replaced with a new part whether it could go back on the road as a Q plate, I'm just waiting to find out a response

well that was a silly thing to do... the answer is no from the DVLA.

The WHOLE vehicle should have been crushed. The scrappage scheme wasn't meant to allow the vehicles to be broken and sold on it parts (yes it was a massively stupid scheme)

However... if the owner of the scrap yard will sell you everything except the chassis then do it, the vehicle ID belongs to the chassis, as suggested, just get a chassis from one with a dead body, put 2 and 2 together... or buy a galv chassis and Q plate it.

But, don't tell the DVLA you're getting the body, etc. from a scrappage scheme donner... that's not allowed (but it will be the scrap yard breaking the rules, not you)
 
If you happen to have a good used chassis from a scrapped vehicle, I can't see any issue in using that. It'd have a Q-plate, but if you're building something up with a bunch of other parts from scrapped vehicles, it'd get that anyway.

What's that? All the parts came from the same scrapped vehicle? Gosh, what a remarkable coincidence. What are the odds on that happening...?
 
If it was close to me I'd be tempted to just get chassis number etc and apply for the V5 stranger things have happened with the disconnected DVLA. It will show as scrapped so they will want to inspect it, but I doubt it will show anything else on their records.
