Yes you can, there are collectors in Singapore who buy limited edition cars and just have them in the basement garage, oil drained and electronics connected to the house mains. Tires are the main issue and it is lifted and rotated every now and then.

I think there is a difference between a car that was never registered and a deregistered car, according to the below you cannot keep a deregistered car

 

 

http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/de_register_a_vehicle/de-register.html

 

"Please note that if your vehicle is already de-registered, i.e. due to COE expiry, non-payment of road tax for 12 months, 3 consecutive years of lay-up, etc., you are required to send the de-registered vehicle to our Appointed Scrap Yard Operators for scrap or Export Processing Zone Operators for storage pending export, or export it with the submission of valid export documents to our office (refer to Step 2C(i) to (iv) below for the list of export documents required), within 1 calendar month from the date of its de-registration."

Sure. Just have to forgo the part rebate. For high end cars, it's quite a pinch

But can always ask for exemption.. got ask got chance LTA may allow, subjected to their guideline etc. No ask 100% cannot ( Maybe I am wrong )

Can try asking. Probably not the whole car maybe, but if you cut it up in pieces maybe possible.

report missing, remove any identification like chassic number and engine number and keep it at home.

[Aukang]

TS, if you got space in your house to keep a car, you can afford to extend the COE or if it is old enough, apply for it to be classified a vintage car

i like this idea.

i can't find any problem with keeping a car in your own home, i am shocked LTA disallows it.

another example of stupid regulations.

got money does not warrant being a spendthrift. no intention to drive or even start the vehicle. Just intend to keep it for sentimental reasons.

 

weird laws we have in here, cannot even keep a de-registered vehicle as an antique.
