I have to confess I'm a little confused:-
- He SORN'd it, so there was no need for 3P cover.
- It's his property - surely he can do what he wants with it?
- The garage confirmed to him they had insurance cover for vehicles in their possession.

...so what exactly did he do wrong?!? If it was any asset other than a motor vehicle the lack of insurance would be the owner's risk, surely?

He hadn't SORNd it, until much later. If its taxed, it has to be insured.

Already a thread here anyway:

I'd have fined him a lot more for converting it to an EV.
