I just got a new car and want to sell my old car.

My old car now has no primary car insurance on it.

With having no Primary Insurance, would someone else who has a full insurance policy be able to drive it, if their insurance covers them to drive oth-er cars (under 3rd party fire and theft)?

Many insurers will cover a second car for a month or so while you sell it.

It depends entirely on the driver's own cover.

Some policies don't cover driving other cars at all, especially for younger or higher risk drivers.
Some only if the car has its own policy, especially from the cheaper end of the insurance market
Some have no restrictions.

The requirement for the car to have continuous insurance is a completely different matter and that obligation is for the keeper, not the driver If a person whose policy covered them to drive the car were to drive the car, they would not be committing any insurance offence.
