(UK) How many people have a project car?

Right, so the government here (hence specifying UK!) is planning on making it illegal to OWN rather than just drive an uninsured car. That's great, perfect, all the little kid's running round without insurance will be caught nice and easily...BUT, what happens to those of us who have a second car as a project? Something that's not seen the black of the road in 10 years of restoration, and wouldn't get all that far even if it did? We would never dream of driving it without insurance, but don't see the point of insuring it to sit in storage, or on ramps.

I know that politicians make things up as they go along without engaging a braincell between them, but this has to be one of the most ill thought-through ideas in a while, surely? Unless insurance companies offer an extremely low-cost "0 miles" policy (perhaps some do?), then surely this is going to cause so many problems it's untrue?

I think, personally, that we're just going to end up with kids driving cars insured by their parents (hence it wouldn't be flagged up as uninsured), and people with a legitimate reason being held accountable. The same idea as the gun amnesty - all the criminals kept theirs, and a load of collecters with antique muzzle-loaders which couldn't kill an injured beetle even if the owner did know how to fire it, handed in their little piece of history to be melted down!
