I hope you pay into a pension.
Pension? Mugs game mate, smart moneys in ratty old mondeos and vectras. SJP we’re trying to get me into Peugeot 404 M16s but, as ever, their fees were prohibitive.
Mods, please could you move to one of the finance forums?

Although still not legal, if a sorned car was parked on the road under a cover, the registration wouldn’t be visible......
This is a myth. Once deemed abandoned (for example if the car is not registered in the keeper's name to avoid detection), the Council can remove it. I am afraid the days of amateur car dealing and speculation is long dead.https://www.bikerandbike.co.uk/parking-covering-mo...
The fact is that any car that is SORN must be off road - the O.R. part of SORN.
Any vehicle on a road or other public place must be taxed and insured. if not, the Police can remove it and crush it.
You can potentially rent a council garage from about £5 a week but they tend to be in rough areas and easily broken into.
At that minimal rate, you would pay £2600 in rent over 10 years.
As stated, a Mondeo will never be a sought after car or worth much. Old Fords are valued for rear wheel drive rallying antics.
You might get a return if you squeeze 3 original SMART cars into the garage, sideways as long as you pay no more than 50p each for them.

People spend stupid money (or least advertise at) on old Fords, even the utterly crap fwd stuff, even Orions. eg https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...Gribs said:

I didn't realise they were quite that mental. £5.5K for an Onion seemed plenty, but for a 1.3 it's truly mad. Mind you that is probably why that one has done so few miles, driving it must be a miserable experience!

Nobody's buying a boggo 1300 Orion for that money.
