i'd assume that any car rolling along a road needs to be taxed and insured.

insurance short term might be pricy.


another option could be to use a trailer?

probably cost as much to hire one as it would to insure etc..
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

I added an extra car to my insurance for 7 days for ?16.

That gave me identical cover to my normal car.  i.e fully comp, glass etc.


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.

i think that it would be easy to hire a car trailer to transport the other car to be on the safe side.
To do the timing belt you would need a bit of experience to do it with the manual and if you can't do it then i would recomend that you use your local garage to to the timing belt.
hope this helps
