Hi both,
I followed option 2....
" sell/pass body on to scrappy as parts but retain the original V5 and responsibility for SORN every year (even though the car doesn't physically exist)"
My 'virtual' donor was scrapped by the DVLA at the same time I registered my Sportster about 4 years after I dismantled it.
My donor shell was taken away by a local metal merchant with a grab.

Mine was the second shell he collected that day!!
As you can see there wasn't much left once i'd finished taking it apart.
