hopefully someone can help with this one... I'm trying to sell a car that I havent been using for 3 months, its just been sitting in my garage, tax ran out on 31/10/09. Obviously I didnt retax it at the time and have received a fine from DVLA for not doing so, i must tax it or declare it SORN...can I get short term insurance ( ie 2 weeks, I already have a policy for another vehicle) in order to tax the car, the DVLA lady said as long as the insurance certificate is valid on day i try to tax the car that will suffice...the insurance company is not so sure that temporary car insurance cover will allow me to tax the car....anyone know for definite???

I think as long as the insurance is valid when the tax comes into force its ok.

I bought a car recently that had a 7 day driveaway insurance and
that was enough to let me tax the car. also I think you can get temp insurance aas short as one month at tempcover.com, although the last time I checked this it seemed quite expensive for me anyway.
