i found this on a dvla web site..
If you have broken up the vehicle yourself, you must either continue to tax it or tell the DVLA that you are keeping it off the public road. You can do this by making a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). You will need to make a SORN every year until you have taken it to an ATF, or told DVLA that you longer have it.
im not breaking the car, i sold the car as one piece, so do i now get whoever bought it to fill in the paperwork??
this is so confusing//
cheers, phil
