Interesting! I can’t remember the details of the scrapage scheme, can’t even remember when it ran and what the objectives were. It’s clear that many of the old cars have value as parts donors so it makes sense that they should be stripped for parts. Was the location revealed? I may have missed it
I’m surprised that Land Rovers, MGs and Beetles were ever worth more under the scrappage scheme than their market price. MGBs can still be rebuilt using new shells, but you need a registration document and donor car (regardless of condition) to do this. Seems a shame that several MGs have been de-registered and scrapped in this way, but I guess the numbers aded up correctly at the time.
