my mate has just bought a punto gt, he cant insure it yet so he has had to resort to leaving it to stand till next march,
what kind of damage can be caused if he doesnt run it at all for that period of time?
Cheers

just make sure he disconnects the battery, and also starts it up every so often and lets it warm up

I personally would take the weight of the tyres as well, or plan to replace them when he ends up driving out.
If its uninsured you'd all need secure it properly.

Since he won't be using the car, he might be able to take out a special policy to insure it on his driveway. Might be able to build up a years NCD on the sly
