need to get wrx home
Bought a wrx import bought 6 weeks ago and its sat 200 miles away at my brothers currently sorn....issue
No tax does have mot
I want it back here but its will remain sorn as iam going to paint etc
Now how can I drive back will I need 2 tax it
If I insure and tax iam then going to have to bin it all a day or 2 later,
Trailors want 400 plus
Ideas?

try shiply.com. To be honest I would not like to tow a car 200 miles. I guess the options are:
a) Tow it (200 miles would put me off this)
b) Trailer it - by the time you factor in trailer hire and petrol (400 mile round trip) it all adds up
c) Hire transport company to move it (May seem pricey but by the time you factor a&b above and shopped around for best price) This would be the best and safest option I think
d) Tax it and drive it and then cash in tax. Still gonna have to splash out petrol to get it and the wasted tax costs.

I doubt if thats legal. If you hire a towing dolly even if only the back wheels are on the road it must be fully road legal so all four wheels on the road will deffo be illegal.
Do you know someone with trade plates who'd do it for a few quid?

I don't know if this is possible but here goes
Put 6 months tax on it and drive it home, if you need insurance try dayinsure
Once you have it home take the tax disc back to the post office for a refund? (tell them you have sold it) then send your forms off to sorn it.

Book it in for an MOT for that day with a time and you can legally drive it there. With no tax or insurance. If you get stopped just give them the mot stations number to confirm.
Just remembered, This only works if theres no mot on the vehicle.
Police say you have to have an mot before you can insure then tax.
Sorry

Jump on train to your brothers. Day insure it and tax for 6 months online beforehand. Drive home with a big smile on your face from the Scooby burble. Sorn the car and at worst will cost one months tax if you get 5 back out of 6.
Total cost is days insurance (£30-40?), one months tax (£20), and petrol (£60).
Job done.

hi mate pm with a location and some details we have a few cars to drop of/collect on our recovery truck over this next week, if your car is near any of them we can recover it back to Preston for you as as a back load
, you are only down the road from us so we could drop it of on the way back, If not we can recovery it for you for a lot less than £400
