Currently at £300 with 45 minutes to go. I assume you have factored in Copart's somewhat extortionate fees. I've bought a few cars from them but you do need to look at the total price rather than the hammer price (you probably know this already!).

Weird. You'd think they were being bought from Copart to repair or break, but you rarely seem to see any sign of them again. I guess the parts gradually find their way back out into the wild from breakers or maybe some go to specialists/restorers who strip them for parts that go into a warehouse waiting for the right car.

Its shown as untaxed on DVLA , and last V5 issue date was when I moved house. Its not shown as scrapped or exported when Carbaba used to show that stuff for free.

A suspiciously young looking lad in a puffer jacket doing Uber Eats (they were very new at the time and had just been on a big hiring drive) came in and dragged one of these awful contraptions into the already packed takeaway with him. He managed to knock the fuel tank, which spun around the top tube, and pissed two stroke all over the glossy tiled floor. Everyone was struggling to keep the laughter back.
