I have a rusty MX5 (or the remains of!) that I need to get rid of. The car has already been stripped for parts, so isn't in a mobile state (no suspension/wheels). Can anyone recommend a company to collect the rest of the car? It's basically just a shell with an engine so would need to be lifted. I'm based in west Fife - there seem to be a few companies locally but looking for personal recommendations, thanks!

I called Watsons in Inverkeithing and they sent a lorry to pick it up, then the driver handed me a cheque, really easy and painless

Was that in 1998?

Watsons were bought by Copart > U Pull It years ago. UPI will buy directly or via the likes of Car Take Back and will collect. Highly unlikely they've consider a stripped shell, the scrap value won't even cover the costs.

Scrap a Car Scotland were stronger bidders recently and easy to deal with but again, for a complete car thar ran.

Perhaps Alloa dismantlers or a scrap merchant but to be honest, a stripped MX5 weighs bugger all so will be of little value thus desirability especially if you want it collected.

Chop it up, take it to the tip...
