Road tax
I am selling a car which has an mot but is declared Sorn.
The possible buyer has asked if I can get the car taxed and he will pay for it. I have no Insurance for the car as my insurance is for my present car and doesn't cover me for the sorn vehicle.
Is there any way I could get the road tax under these circumstances? the vehicle is otherwise roadworthy.
Thanks
Pete

Without the log book in the name of the insured, he still can't buy tax.
The sensible thing is to agree to let the buyer leave the car on your property for a few days after he has paid, so he can get the paperwork sorted out and get it taxed himself.
