I have a 1989 Automatic Mitsubishi Gallant with about 7 months MOT to get rid of?

It has a brand new radiator which cost nearly £300 to buy including fitting, good tyres and it had a bit of work done to pass the MOT, another £200, £40 for a brand new battery. It's in good shape really for it's age. 5 days after it passed it's MOT the gearbox went! I need to get it gone! I'm gutted to let it go for £30 which is all I will get if it's scrapped, it will have to be towed away as to make the situation worse I have lost the ignition key. Anyone any clues what to do or any sensible suggestions. Time is of the essence as where I have stored it want it gone.

Do the maths, and take your time, THINK, you've spent £540, you stand to lose £510,do you know the serial number of the car should be on the MOT,go to main agent,get new key £40,now for the gear box,Yellow pages for scrap merchants, ring round, may be £40/£50 ,can you fit your self? phone police, see if they do a scheme where by they retrain car thieves into mechanics, they will be to pleased to fit for free,failing that you got to pay,£100, still get 12months motoring for £190 i know its another £190, but its a motor you know, good luck mate
Actually, if your any sort of mechanic (as in someone who can top up oil, change a tyre, that simple) the Mitsubishi Galant gearbox of that age is so unbelievably easy to replace that you could replace it yourself. As long as you have a jack and basic tools, you can literally remove and replace the gearbox within 4 hours. I've done 4 of them and the last time I had it out in 45 minutes, and the new one in again in just over another hour, and I'm only a tinkerer (however thats spelt!). And a 1989 one shouldn't cost much more than £50 to buy.
