new v5c no longer had scrapped section, car already gone!

[nick9one1]

I got rid of a car a little while ago (sold off parts, cut up rotten body and got rid of it). I went to fill in the V5C, but there is no longer a section to say I scrapped the car myself. What do I do?

Try a letter of explanation to DVLC...keep a copy in your file.
You have then complied in letting them know.

If you don't have a time machine, try DVLA.

I generally just score a big black line through the whole document and write SCRAPPED across it and send it to them...no comeback so far.

In the absence of a good scrapped option which seems to require extra paperwork; I "Exported" my ex racecar shell to China (presumably) via some guys collecting scrap.
