if the block ceases to exists then you need to assess the stcg/stcl.
if not then just show as a deletion from the block

since you are selling but using the car for personal use, so while calculating profit/loss transfer the wdv of the car to capital account and by finding the market value if the car transfer the profit loss to Pand l as below
