Help!

[clioRL]

I have just had a chap ring up about my car and he said thet he will more than likely have it if I can get it taxed.
The car is currently SORN and is not insured, it has a valid MOT but obviously I need the insurance document to be able to tax it.

Does anyone know of a way that I could tax the car without it being insured?
Thanks in advance
Martin

Just get a cover note and then cancel the policy within 14 days.

think he wants 2 b able 2 drive it home?

Yes he will pay for the tax but it needs to be taxed so that he can drive it home.
I cannot get temporary insurance on it as I have insured a few different cars temporarily recently and now my insurance company think i'm a motortrader and won't give me any temporary cover!

He can drive it home, get him to insure it before he picks it up. He gives you the cover note along with ££'s, you take cover note, the money and MOT to post office and tax it on his behalf ready for him to collect? I can't really see how/why it's any more difficult than that. It's only like buying from a dealer except you're a private seller

I will take the risk and say I will buy it so I will phone my insurance company and sort it out b4 coming down.

I will buy the tax online when I come to pick it up.
