from what i gather its got to be roadworthy and thats that…
so get swapping parts with folks who are in need of them.. peopel are crying out for doors etc..
but honestly - go back to dealer - offer casha nd see fi you can geta similar dealfor cash without scrapping the car - dont crush your mk1
it looks half decent so flog it instead..

if the car is roadworthy then why scrap it in.
sell it on and let someone else enjoy it. you can get the same discount by bartering with the dealership.

Of course…..there's the danger you trade it in, don't like the new car, and……..well its too late to get it back…….so do you really want to trade it in for a new car?

My most upsetting scrappage moment was when someone traded in on the scrapege scheme a 1969 tax exempt ex show car Beetle. The guy who traded it in (who's name I can't mention for legal reasons) would not sell it privately as he didn't want his good show car name tarnished because he thought this car wasn't good enough to put his name to.
I personally think that it would do his reputation more damage if it got out that he'd sent a perfectly good Beetle to the scrap yard in the sky than it would have done to offer it to people who would have loved it for years to come!
I shed a tear when I saw it dragged onto the low loader to be sent away to be crushed. :cry:

tax payers money, and is merely the governments way of supporting
a failing manufacturing industry, which in fairness should sort its self out.
People bleat on about global warming, carbon footprints, energy
waste, got to be green, then………………..
Go and trade in a perfectly good car that has got the carbon footprint
of a yeti. More energy is wasted / consumed in making a new car than
is comprehendible. A Prius (that so called eco / hybrid car) has its
batterys made on the other side of the planet then shipped half way
round the world to be fitted, work that out???? how is that "Green".
Just an easy way for people to get in to more debt, and more revenue
for the financial institutions.
Waste of time in my opinion

But yes, technically you could roll up in a stripped out shell, and providing
the Dealer was happy you would get your discount. There is nothing in
the scrappage scheme details that says it must be 100% complete, just
has to belong to owner for 12 months or more, taxed,mot`d,insured.

If you can salvage some of the parts for others to use then great. There are still far more MK1 golfs out there than golf enthusiasts.
We are all reliant on cars becoming donors to keep our own cars on the road at the end of the day. A bit harsh but not every MK1 can be saved its just not financially possible. The more cars which are broken for bits the easier it is for us to keep the rest going and maintain the quality of the remaining cars.
What are your front wings like BTW? If they are genuine and salvagable then I could swap a set plus money your way.
