rider Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Only 2 years ago there was a healthy majority of Mk4 Supras taxed at this time of year over those off road, on SORN. This winter, for the first time ever, more Mk4's are now on SORN than taxed. The drive to garage storage is well on track for this ageing icon of the road. I'm firmly with the majority on this, SORN from October to April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Both of mine are still taxed, the NA is my daily driver, and the TT6 still gets driven on the odd good day (and for it's MOT earlier this week), but I can understand why the majority are now deciding to SORN from Oct - April.

mc92 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The roads are very slippery this week and mine's already covered in road dirt. Garaging over winter is a good idea, if you have a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Unfortunately for the first time in 10/11 years, mine is SORN sitting in its new garage. The house rip out and renovate has taken priority so the supra is on the back burner for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'm the opposite. Mines been SORN for nearly a decade now, I've finally managed to get it back on the road a couple weeks ago and so it'll be getting driven every opportunity I can this winter, weather permitting. More than likely though next winter I'll be keeping it SORN and tucked up in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 What does everyone do with insurance? Pay for a hole year or how does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get parked up insurance but that's not usually any cheaper than normal insurance expecially if only for a few months cover. So to keep fire and theft cover its best to leave the insurance running. Parking up for half the year does mean the milage is reduced which should be reflected in your insurance premium. I have my car on 1,000 mile a year limit, it actually only manages around 250 miles a year these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I've SORN'd mine for the a few years now come winter. Not only are the cars appreciating in value, but replacement parts are becoming eye watering. I spend a fortune on getting the underside back to a respectable level, so I'd rather protect the investment at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have never SORN mine in my ownership, I dont plan on doing it this year. I enjoy driving the car all year round and I get that they are going up in value but I didnt buy mine for making money I throughly enjoy driving it. The weathe rin the winter can be hit and miss but my supra i find very tractable and enjoyable in most conditions including the wet, the snow can be reasonable as well ( read - Cheap / low speed drifitng ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I always tax and mot my cars even if there not in use for long periods and it was down to a mates bike being stolen He has two bikes and alternates each year with them The bike that was sorn didn't have a MOT that year got nicked and only got half the value from the insurance due to he could not prove it was a road worthy vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
