I think I’ve managed about 500 miles between SORNs....

Although UK weather is generally st there are still dry days during the winter months. Putting a car away for months on end doesn't do them any good.
The problem around here is that when the sun comes out, the local council throw rock salt in huge quantities everywhere. Apparently humans can’t drive safely in cold weather anymore.

Main reason for SORN though is with lockdown, I simply haven’t got anywhere to go in a impractical sports car with no boot.

I've never been a SORNER (although I was tempted this year. Do you need to get different insurance, or (I presume) the insurance companies aren't bothered as you are less likely to have a shunt.
I notified LV last time and they said there was no need to tell them, but I guess other insurance companies might be different.

I've never SORNed a car. I don't know why in 2020 people still think their car is going to dissolve in a shower of rain.

If I had a car that wasn't being used I'd sell it.
Clearly you don't drive an MX5......they start dissolving if rain is forecast.
