    The car isn't broken thankfully. It's an e39 m5. So fairly reliable.

    But the damn rust honestly.

    On the plus side though. As classic cars are almost always broken, it can't be a 'company car' so there's no BIK to pay.
    Good point, it's probably SORN'd so it would probably go on the books as a business asset.

    That is a question for you conscience.

    I think theres a fundamental misunderstanding as well. I do currently WFH, but more contracts are unfortunately wanting me in to sod off to Manchester, meaning a nice jaunt on the M62.

    I didn't do the maths I watched a Youtube video. Caveat emptor....
