Old car?

[P.]

Anyone got an old car sitting in their garden, something shit like a little 1 litre shed?
Doesnt even have to work ... i just have to get i home and shove in my garden. Im on a company policy with a car, so I will end up losing my current 2yr NCB if I say... dont insure a car in my name for a few years.

Cant really be doing with that, i'll just insure it every year and scrap it when the time comes

Unlikely but worth a punt

Theres a change in the law regarding insurance and tax. I cant remember it but look into it to save hasstle later

Pretty sure if its SORN, you dont need insurance, regardless.. I want to insure it lol

I'll even buy a non working car without an engine... all I need is the V5 and a piece of metal and a plate

The new law just says that if you have a car that's on the road, it MUST be insured. if you don't have insurance on it, it HAS to be SORN'd.

The prolems could come when insuring the car, as they might want to do checks on it to make sure it's Taxed and MOTd.

My insurer made a big deal about my car not being MOTd, wanted a copy of the current one and wouldn't insure the car without it being done.

Most insurers won't give a damn about an MOT - and so long as you're not driving it around without, nor should they.

The new law just says that you need to have insurance if your car's taxed, not the other way round.

I don't agree with it, as I have a genuine reason for keeping my vehicles taxed but not insured - they never see the road, and there's already a law about driving without insurance so we don't need another one - but never mind.

You have a year or two before your current NCB expires. You also need to work out if 2 years NCB is really worth insuring a car you're not going to use. Insurance is fairly pricy compared to a couple of years ago, and the discount for 2 years NCB isn't that much.
