I had a scrappy come and collect a rolling shell - no doors / engine / boot / glass... then I followed them to the scrapyard and yoinked the wheels off it and went away

I'm in the southwest though so not much use

I weighed in a rotten ford orion last week with some junk inside. They were paying £135 a ton at the yard I took it to so got £178. had to produce V5 and they take it off you and sort paperwork.

Loads of pikeys there weighing in all sorts of junk like washing lines and bicycles (where did you get those???)

My mate who wants rid of an old golf has been offered £100 by a local scrapman to pick it up an take it away, though that is a complete car.

In my case, I left a 15 year old mondeo with HGF on the driveway for a week. There were 2 'business cards' left by various pikeys by the weekend, and I got 100 quid for the car.

there will be a few local companies who will be happy to come and get a shell. Last shell i weighed in got me £45 though as it was a bare shell, a average car should get you £50-120.

Still it was fun listening to how enthusiastic the scrapy were when i said i was scarppying a golf gti and then seeing the guys face when he came to collect it and realised there was NOTHING bar the metal itself (mostly rust i might add) of any value left hehe.

Any companies in the South East?

Try your local council.

Many run a scrapping service as its easier than just collecting abandoned cars.

Advertise here and get a banger racer to take it away (and pay you for it)?

£50 - £80 near me and they collect

If you're not to bothered about getting any money for it, call up the local fire station and ask them if they want it. They should send someone to collect it, and you know that it'll get put to a good use before it finally dies.

Firm on my business park - will collect and give about 100 quid - 07951 166 102 or 07799 476 281 or 0800211 8385. It's in Iver near Heathrow.
