Im currently between MHs having sold my Mobilvetta a couple of months ago. As I spend a lot of time in France my search for a replacement takes in both the UK and French markets. There are pluses and minuses to both, but there's one thing in particular that has me scratching my head....
I have to look on the previously-enjoyed market. If I buy a UK-registered 'van I can get insurance cover that allows extended overseas use, so no problem there. On one of my visits to the UK I would get it MOTd, serviced etc., so no problem there either.
However, if I'm away from Blighty for say, four months I wouldn't want to tax it for those months. 'So SORN it!' I hear the cry. But the question is, would my insurance cover remain valid if the vehicle is SORNed but being used overseas?
I'd appreciate the views of the many wiser heads than mine on this forum.
