sti sat on road not used insurance
 

ive got a 95 sti and the issue is this :

i need a car to go to work every day so ive got a little polo which is already insured and sorted which i use daily.ive just bought a sti which came up,its currently sat 200 miles away on a raf base where my brother is,of course i want it home,it needs painting and a few over bits doing to it so i will not be driving it proberly for the next 6 months, BUT........i have no drive so it would have to just sit on the street, yes my street is very quiet nothing ever comes down it but its still the public road i guess so it would need insuring but with no drive iam stuffed??

my question is, can you get insurance for it just to sit on the road,it will not drive a mile as iam be doing the work, and before anyone says put it in a bodyshop i cant afford that so iam doing it all myself on a budjet


thanks olly

I believe if parked on a public road, it needs to be insured, taxed and have an mot.

Needs to be road legal fella altho buy yourself a car transporter trailer and you dont have to worry about tax insurance n mot. Only downside is tho, car is likely to go missing mate

As above, if it's in contact with a public road, it'll need to be taxed, insured and MOT'd.

The alternative's are to have it sat on a trailer... but then you're screwed if it gets stolen.

Or rent a lock-up somewhere which might work out cheaper than tax, test and insurance.

You need to remember though that under the current regulations if it's taxed it needs to be insured anyway so it'll have to be SORN'd if it's not insured regardless of where it's kept.

yeh my brother sorn the car the day he picked it up for me, i recieved the v5 today but because he sorn it that day the sorn certificate has gone to the previous owner in his name,ive tried to sorn again so it will come here but its not letting me till the 5th?

Yeah needs to be road legal be careful mate there was a dvla van down my road yesterday with cameras on looking to clamp cars.

i guess il either have to insure it and sell my polo or see if my dad wont mind having another subaru on his drive........but he wasnt impressed after i took a box out of my last one on his drive so that will not happen

Car cover, Strapped down,Remove plates done and dusted.

Best bet is to get a lockup 100 a month max for it aswell. And then you know its safe and dry

Yes rent a local garage
Should get one in Preston for a tenner a week Or convert your front lawn and give your dad the cash instead
