For those who have, have had or want parts cars (LAC)

[Jim Haseltine]

We've got something similar in the UK - known as Statuary Off Road 
Notification.
Basically, if you own a vehicle which has had a road fund licence effective 
after some date (Janauary 1998 I think) then you have to declare it as 'Off 
Road' every 12 months or you get fined (on the assumption that you're 
actually using the thing). OK, it doesn't cost anything other than a few 
minutes of your time to go to a licencing office and hand the form over but 
I've got three cars off-road and each notification expires at a different 
point in the year.

Local authorities also have powers that allow them to remove 'abandonded' 
vehicles even when these are on private land - they are supposed to give the 
owner (if they can locate them) 2 weeks notice but it doesn't always happen.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
