If you cant afford to insure it (How much can it be, really? Cant that be that expensive) how are you going to afford an engine?

i know but its if it gets nicked from the driveway while laid up i get nothing. with an engine and box in i'm looking ar £3k+. as it is it was on piston heads for £1500.

so if everyone could focus on the actual question please like this chap it would help me no end...

SORN it.
If it has no engine who'd nick it?

Vampire · 23 Apr 2011 at 17:43

How likely is it t be stolen, without an engine? :confused:

If it's off the road and SORN'd, you don't need to insure it.

Westyfield2 · 23 Apr 2011 at 19:16

Oh right. Oops!

R220 · 23 Apr 2011 at 19:33

As said, if its on private property then dont bother insuring it, i mean come on whos going to steal a car without an engine? cant say iv heard of theives arriving in a car loader. Well certainly not for this type of car.

helpimcrap · 23 Apr 2011 at 20:09

you say this but if it looks like a cosworth you'll steal it first then worry about lifting the bonnet. not as if a thief will do an rac inspection lol

DM · 23 Apr 2011 at 20:11

Iv bought them sort of cars before, when drunk normally

...Wont they need to look under the hood to see why the hell it doesn't start?

Joshy · 23 Apr 2011 at 20:32

Even without a engine engine I'd have thought a cossie shell/interior/bodywork would still be worth nicking. Maybe for rallying for something?

Here in Prague they very often steal cars by coming along with a big truck and simply pick it up and put it on the back and they are gone.

My friends Audi was stolen in the middle of the day like this outside a hotel with CCTV!
