    Keep it registered. May end up costing more having to put it back over the pits and rectify some minor ailments you aren't even aware of.

    We stored our D1 for 3 years. Kept it registered and the BIL drove it weekly. Problems to watch include condensation and rats and mice etc making a home in it. Parts left unused for long periods can dry out and sieze or crack. If its unregistered you will have to pay for an inspection to re-register. I would go nuts with lanolin to discourage rust.

    The OP is in NSW. Which requires an annual roadworthy. Your argument is therefore moot.

    Blue slip (inspection for unregistered vehicles or interstate transfers) is only $25 more than a pink slip (yearly inspection slip), so not a consideration.

    Lanolin is a good idea, was tossing up rust prevention options.
