Apolgies for my tardiness in updating this thread. Something I'm alway nagging others about and now I'm the guilty one.
The car has been sold to a fella who wants it for spares.
For info; the process of finding a registered scrapyard was as difficult as Fred suggested. There only about five within 100 kilometres of Montmorillon - the nearest being about 30 KM away. They wanted me to PAY them.
Another said they'd be around within the week and I never heard from them again.
The whole ugly saga was as hideously complicated as Fred predicted with some yards very reluctant to issue the certifcat de destruction d'un vehicule. Without this you're left in limbo. You're still the registered owner and have no way of convincing the insurance company to cancel the contract.
Selling is slightly easier but don't do what we did. We downloaded the declaration de cession d'un vehicule from the Prefecture site in Montmorillon, took the filled-in forms and were sent home with the official, carbon copy form in triplicate to complete.
Why do they have the form on the interweb?
Oh - and beware a couple of English folk advertising for scrap metal. Sure, they'll offer to take the car away and "scrap" it but they can't issue the necessary forms to convince the world it's gone to the great breakers yard in the sky. To be fair to them they do buy any old iron but when it comes to iofficially scrapping your motor....
