back in the day i bought a mk3 escort 1.3, parked it on the drive, insured it, then scraped it, and kept renewing the insruance on it year upon year to get my no claims up

not too sure if it wil work nowadays with compuers and stuff mind, but you can insure any car but some policies will ask you to be the owner of the car, although that doesn't mean your mane would be on the V5 cdocumentation

so yes, find a panda or something or even a 2cv and do it from there
