Banned from driving - should I mothball or sell my car?

I own an Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 petrol TFSI Quattro. The car is rarely used by my family and I have recently been given a two year driving ban. What advice can you give regarding mothballing or selling?

You're looking at a significant hit. But it's crazy to keep it for two more years. You will then lose a lot more, in addition to insuring and taxing it.
