Just received a letter from the Motor Insurance Database, telling me that I must re-insure my Rover immediately or expect to be fined. I transferred the insurance to my temporary Megane Cabby when I took the Rover off the road to replace the clutch(now done). I didn't SORN the car, as I didn't intend it to be off the road for long, and would have to pay 2 installments on the direct debit if I re-taxed it (like I had to pay 2 installments for the first month on the Renault, - no, actually just for the first 2 weeks!) If I SORN either car, the tax will stop at the end of this month, but I won't get a refund on the extra payment. So I guess I will SORN the Rover now, and won't put it back on the road until the end of July, by which time the Renault should have a new MoT, and should be very saleable with enough summer left to make the most of it's drop-top. And it should give me time to do any other jobs on the Rover and prepare it for the winter.
