    How do I know it's not officially "Scrapped"

    Hi guys. I'm about to buy a 1974 88" S3. But.... the guy's had it in the garage for about 5 years and claims he never got the V5 from the Farmer he bought it from, so never actually been registered in his name. The Number plate and VIN plate is present and understand I can apply to the DVLA...
