Do I have to SORN my classic?

I have owned a classic car which has been off the road since before SORN was introduced. I have never needed to declare a SORN on it in the past.

I understand there are are now new regulations, so do I now have to declare a SORN on my car? I appreciate that a SORN is nil cost (at the present!), but I'm just trying to avoid the hassle if I do not have to do it.

If it has been off road since before 1-2-2008 you do not have to make a SORN.
