Ben's right mate. There could be an argument if you were towing it straight to a pre-booked MOT but that would be a bit tenuous.

Damn it, thought as much. Would almost be cheaper to tax, mot and insure it for how much some people want for moving it 10 miles down the road :(

Ouch I won't be doing that then! Temp insurance is a possible I guess but will have to look at the cost, thought they don't like group 20 cars much!
