Best way to insure a new car while selling the old one?

Options
Today we put a deposit down on a new car, decided to buy it out right instead of part x our old car.
Now i have a dilema as i would have swapped the insurance policy over from the old to new car if we'd part x'ed. But now i'll have 2 cars for a short time while i try to sell the old car possibly take it on test drives etc so i would think i still need insurance for that one too.
Whats the best way to insure my new car but still be able to sell the old one?

    If your existing insurer is any good you can probably change the vehicle on your existing policy and re-insure the old vehicle temporarily with them pending sale, either for free or for a small charge.

    I had a policy a while back that gave me a 1-month overlap - might be worth checking the T&Cs.
