Well if told a couple of you about the bloke who boxed his Cosworth in the wall, so today I went to look at a few bits in a side cupboard and what did I see sticking out.

He has left a opening in the cupboard so he can get to it.

Last MOT was in 2010.
55K miles on a SORN but not insured (current legislation means it should be, hence why it's in a cupboard)

I thought they had changed the rules that SORN still had to have insurance. Perhaps that was just insurance companies trying to maintain revenue.

I often wonder what became of my old Cossie. It seemed to disappear into the ether. Of course, it could be on a different number plate now but I suspect it's rusted away by now.

That's bonkers! What a shame to see it gathering dust like that.

If a car is sorn’d, no insurance is required.

I’m a bit experienced with that one
