So your policy is void anyway, I think

Not quite true though I had an insurance company that tried to state that. Then I pointed out that surely it's the registered keeper and not the owner. I was for a brief time employed by a Danish company and I was their sole employee in the UK. The car was owned by them, but I was the registered keeper and the regular user. So in a sense I had an interest, but not a financial one, and I was able to insure that.
In your daughter's situation if you had registered the car in your name, though she owned it then you would probably have been able to insure it. There is a down side in that if she was involved in an accident and didn't own up to it, then they would seek out you.
