Abandoned vehicle

Hi,

My previous company went into liquidation and I was left with an abandoned car on my family property for almost 3 years now. I drove this car when I worked for the company. I was told at the time of liquidation that someone would collect it but nobody has contacted me since. I'm looking to sell it it or alternatively register it in my name as it is taking up too much space at property and becoming an inconvenience. I don't have the log book. When I check on motorcheck it is not reported as stolen. Trying to figure out what options I have. Either scrap it for parts or else try to register it? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Have you made any contact with the liquidators? It's essentially their car.

Contact the liquidators as the post above states but try to find current daily costs of secure storage of a car per day and levy that as a cost to them. Why should you be inconvenienced with no payback for 3 years of free storage.

You could definitely get a logbook using this form but not sure of the legalities of doing so.

It's not your property to dispose of in any way.

You will be committing an offence if you sell it in whole or in part.

Contact the liquidators.

Will there even be any liquidators after 3 years? The car belongs to the liquidators but if they have finished winding up the company they won't want to deal with it. There is no way to claim a vehicle here.
