Safest place to park a SORN car long term worry free?
Discussion
Initial mistake, it is the Mondeo ST 200 and not the ST 220 that will be worth squillions in 2050. Your proposed plan of action the therefore falls at the first fence. 
But if you really want to rake it in, I saw a Chrysler Neon today, it was the first one I'd seen in years so it must be extremely rare, and so will be the place where the smart money is going next. Get in on the ground floor while you can.

What's the law of parking SORN cars?
They must be kept off the road. So a private driveway or garage etc. Some private communal parking areas such as apartment buildings may have their own rules regarding the requirements for any vehicle parked there - including how much of an eyesore they might be - written into the terms of their lease. The SORN rules are here:- https://www.gov.uk/sorn-statutory-off-road-notific...
You don't plan to keep it in a garage or on a drive, but I doubt a parking space outside a council block of flats qualifies as "private land".
If you can get more than you paid for it I'd just sell it - you'll be dead long before it's worth £50K!

Is this a wind up....
Does seem like a bit of a weird one really based on what they've posted on here so far.Although, if they are real, i guess this thread gives some better background as to why they wanted advice on how to stop a car being towed / removed without their permission based on this thread.

The definition of a public place is important if it’s a council owned car park with access to the public then it would likely be classed as “ a road or other public place” and need to be taxed/MOT’dWhat a ridiculous thread. It's a great car - get it MOT'd and taxed and enjoy the damn thing!!
As an aside, have a look for Sierra XR4s and XR4x4s for sale, as they are the equivalent of where your ST220 is likely to be in 30 years time. I'm pretty sure they aren't sought-after rarities worth £50k...

Alternatively, if there's some council lock-ups near where you are, try seeing if you can rent one of them. Both should be fine for a SORN'd vehicle & you'd probably get some form of insurance thrown in at the self-store place.
