Is it illegal for my track car to be stored and worked on in the council/residents carpark

It depends on the carpark owners' policy.
It is private property, so you will not be prosecuted for lack of MOT and tax provided you have declared SORN (Statutory Off-Road Notice) to the DVLA.
However, the council may have a policy that only taxed and insured cars are permitted in that car park, so you may be in breach of your permission to use the car park.

It depends if the car park is private property or not. If it's classified as part of the "public highway" then the council could consider towing it away and disposing of it. Check with them and they should be able to tell you.
Also, realistically, another resident may think your car has been abandoned (particularly if it looks like an old banger) and report it to the police. They will then investigate and try to track the owner before disposing of it etc.

You will likely get some boring nimby reporting you. You cannot park it anywhere the public has access to. This includes shared car parks. Only place is your own yard.
You could try speaking to a local farmer who might let you park it round the back of a barn for a few £££'s. If your anywhere out of town.

coverage firms have been around for a hundred and fifty years and it fairly is amazingly rewarding. Why could they locate it not rewarding while they earn billions of $$ in a single economic quarter, and in 2014 they gets a great deal greater customers who can arise with the money for to purchase coverage rules because of the fact those thousands and thousands of folk devoid of coverage now would be getting a subsidy to purchase a coverage. this could be a real funds cow. the main rewarding form of coverage. Insurers sell vehicle, assets, flood coverage and are varied into different international companies. i would not worry approximately them.

It is totally illegal. If you have not tax you should have declared it SORN to the DVLA - expect a fine from them soon if you haven't already had one

If it gets TOWED AWAY, then, I am SORRY, to TELL you, - it's HEADING for the CRUSHER! I'd SHIFT it, to somewhere SAFE, if I was in your shoes, mate!
