Do old single and double panel radiators have any significant scrap value?
I wouldn't have thought so, but then you hear of people stealing manhole covers for the scrap value so perhaps there is?

My nearest scrappie was paying £1.20 for copper, yet the one I took it to eventually was paying £2.50/kg.

They do have a value but it's not particulary high so making a special say 20 mile round trip for one small rad won't cover the fuel cost but if you have number of 'em ...
