If it hasn't been taxed since 1996 then it most definitely is scrapped. The tax book was probably just never handed in and is still lying in a drawer somewhere.

Sadly VolvoMan is right, it was just of the age to be scrapped in 1996, it may even have been a scrappage scheme car of the time.

It's unlikely to have survived.

I had a mk3 Escort in '94/95 & they were getting thin on the ground then.

The first major scrappage scheme started a year or two later & most of those remaining at the time didn't survive the cull.
