    I believe you cannot be insured on the car as you no longer own it, unless you kept the cube, in which case it would be classed as a modification.

    I love it :)

    ME: Do you insure modified cars.
    Insurance: Yes we do, What mods have you done.
    ME: squashed it into a cube
    Insurance: Are the lights legal and will it pass an MOT?
    ME: err doubtful, Most of the lights are broken and point in funny directions.
    Insurance: Sorry we cannot cover that then. Please return the car to an MOT standard and we will cover you again.

    Insurance: Thanks for calling
