I am horrified by the things I have thrown out in the past, some of which were perfectly serviceable, just taking up room, including a rust free tank, and many other rare or hard to find parts which were commonplace 30 years ago. I even scrapped a frame with V5 but then that was before the days of Ebay.

I still have a spare frame that's on a Q plate, no idea what to do with it other than cut it up and make an engine stand. Can't see any one wanting it unless it the last on on earth or they're going racing. It was originally an ex racer that had been put back on the road with a right mismatch of bits.

My understanding, if it's record tallys with the Q V5 is that its available for someone to use in another vehicle as valid and bonafide repair item. That vehicle's log should then show the change in it's own records.
Crash damaged or rusty and needing repair to original (period) status a valid route.
Bryanj:
Q plate always used to be non transferable same as asigned plate on imports
K2-K6:
The other way around, the frame number given by the original manufacturer should be recorded as such on the Q plate registration document, effectively establishing its existence and keeper details.
That frame can be used, with it's original frame number, to replace a damaged vehicle's frame, in legal compliance as I understand it. The V5 will record the new number, the Q log book it's existence.
There's a trail of history to endorse good faith tracking, if that's the case.
