Interesting Ian,
I bought a 2012 Morgan that had been in professional storage in London for 5 years, and it hadn't been taxed or SORN over that period, it had also passed thru the trade immediately before I bought it. So I was very wary when I came to register and tax the vehicle in my name, I did speak to DVLA in Swansea before hand and they were quite relaxed about it, mind you this wasn't a histroic .zero rated vehilce. , I did it online and it went through without any issues. I was not made aware of any penalties incurred by the seller's.Mind you it did belong to a member of the Kurdish Royal family whilst in storage, so whether it was registered as a diplomatic car for a while, I just don't know, and I get the feeling it was occassoionally used from the different mileages on storage documents whilst in storage when it was neither taxed , Sorn.or MOT'D.
