Advice please- putting SORN'd car back on the road

[HustleRussell]

The plan is, buy insurance, drive to pre-booked MOT appointment, then go buy tax. Any 'gotchas' I might have forgotten?
Is 'un-SORNing' just a case of buying a tax disc?
Also can I get a tax disc using my green and blue V5? I'm not sure I have a new red one yet.

I'm eager so I'm just going to tax from beginning of March and lose a couple of weeks.

From the last time this came up, you can't drive from the MOT centre to the post office to buy the tax. Go straight home and walk to the post office.

Or post yourself and your car there.

Or be a bit crazy, live a little and drive there

Wouldn't dream of it

Apparently the nearest post office is 0.5 miles away so I think I'll walk from the garage and be a good boy...

Cheers all, went off without a hitch. First time the Caterham has been on the road for other two years! Shame about the weather yesterday, I have now ran out of dry clothes!
