Good point Hayain - and the most useful part of the process is the certificate of destruction the scrappie should give you.
I've had two cars written off by insureres - one was scrapped immediately, and I got the cert from the beaker. One was transferred to the insurer, who took the V5 but held on to the car for some time before deciding to write it off.
For quite some time afterwards, I kept getting reminders for overdue road tax for the second one, and had quite the time proving what had become of it without the correct paperwork.
