Just got myself a little Corsa Combo van as a fixer upper. It has a long MOT and tax until the end of May and doesn't need a lot doing to sort it nicely.
Now I see that according to the DVLA I must insure it or SORN it or risk a £100 fine. WTF?? Insurance will cost me £1200 as my NCB has been used on my daily and it would be beneficial to sell it with tax on it. So if you play by the rules and register a vehicle and do it all properly you run the risk of a fine. If you're a moody sod who doesn't bother you drive around without fear.
Rant over!
