  • Thank you all for your help. I’ll just pay for the removal and try see if the garage will cover some of the costs. If not I’ll just sell the car.
  • Sell a non working clamped car?

    You may need to insure and tax it first to get it released and then pay all the bills the DVLA send you. One for having it on the road and then....

    With no MOT? More problems.

    Is that for tax and mot?

    I know it differs for driving licences.
    I think you can drive a SORN'd car on the road only when going to and from a pre-booked MOT, if that's what you're asking.

    When you booked the car in with the garage why did you not tell them then on the phone that it was SORN ?
