Taxing a car that's been off road

So I have just purchased a car that has not been on the road for about ten years - before SORN was introduced. It is tax and MOT exempt. It is being delivered to me on Monday and I should have the log book this weekend from the gentleman who has owned it for nearly 40 years. So how does one go about...

Re: threat to “max out” speed cameras on the M1
