Very sad.
Surely you could have found an enthusiast to take it on. But I don't think you'd resort to a scrapper unless all the other options had been exhausted.

I had pretty much taken off everything that i could, including the RA's, i just needed some wheels to get it onto the trailor. When u get to the scrap yard they take the wheels off for you. So I need to get them cleaned up and on Ebay.

Yea i had tried to sell it as a car but no one wanted it so had to strip most of it down and then scrap it.

well they have a weigh bridge, u drive your car on with the trailor and the car you are scrapping on, then take it off then you go back on the weigh bridge and minus the difference. My car weighed 1200 kg's as i filled with with loads of scrap and batteries. its a bit less than a £ton for a ton
