Leaving relationship

If I was to leave my relationship (9 years together & engaged for 4) would I be able to keep the car that was purchased as a gift to me. The car is in my name & the documents from the garage are in my name, my fiancé paid for the car (we don’t have joint finances) as he earns substantially more than me. I was just putting the feelers out for advice as solicitors are expensive but I will get one obviously if I need to.

Your not married, no kids? No other property? It was a gift. It's in your name. Drive off into the sunset.
Your partner can persue action against you If they chose to?

We are not married, both divorced for many years & have mainly grown up children between us as a modern family)
In the past when we have argued & almost separated he threatens to take my jewellery & car from me. We have lived together since 2019 & he constantly refers to me as his wife. It has become clear though that he would want a pre nup if we were to get married but what he proposes is very biased in favour of his boys with me receiving 1/10th of assets.
I would only walk away now with my belongings, jewellery & car which I am fine with.

Yes do that then. He's very unlikely to pursue for any financial recompense sounds like a lot of hot air. Good luck 👍
