It surely depends on what you plan to do - if the work will be extensive then SORN is fine but if its a clean down/paint/waxoyl then it may only take a little while and be off the road for a couple of weeks/whatever. As you say those nice winter days can be very nice - just get wrapped up ...

If it's on deaths door, off the road it must be. If it isn't, get it taxed and on the tarmac.

It's technically illegal not to use a TVR.

Having just had mine fail its MOT (for some really silly things) it is your DUTY (geddit! hehe) to tax it to keep the TVR presence on the road!

in fairness the chassis is in pretty damn good shape. My to do list is as follows

1. track rod ends
2. drive gaiters
3. sump gasket is a bit weepy
4. shot blast, zinc and stone chip protect rear wishbones

all perfectly do-able in little bits... right going to take her out to help me make my mind up...
