What can i Do to get this Mk1!!
Is there anything i can do. any weird laws by which the garage owners can give/ sell me the car due to the fact its been sitting there for ages. The guy at the garage said "that things scrap" but it very much isnt. i had a look under the bonnet. Rust is minimal surprisingly.
What can i do if anything?
I also get the feeling the people that run the garage really hate the thing.

Are there any laws in which a car left on someones property can be removed or destroyed. Could be a little loop hole to take it off the garages hands and into mine.

Its been there a long time. I would talk to the police first. They should be able to tell you if you can apply for the log book.

Looks to me like some one is using this car. Perhaps the owner has an agreement with the garage just to keep it there?
The car doesnt have any wing mirrors or locks. i cant see how they'd be using it to be honest.

You can't really read into it having no locks, the owner probably feels its secure enough where it is. The fact that the garage isn't giving you much/any useful info is probably a hint that the car won't be going to you, they are obviously looking after it for someone. They are under no obligation to reveal the details, after all.
If you apply for the V5 it doesn't prove anything. The current owner would get a letter asking if they're still the registered keeper etc, and even if they don't respond to this and you get it in your name, it doesn't prove OWNERSHIP, just who's REGISTERED for it. So I can't see any merit in doing this - more likely to exacerbate the situation.
All sorts of unusual occurrences occur with old cars in between being roadworthy, and being scrapped. Its probably worth saving, its just a question of when….and by who….
