How often should a car be driven?

My father has just had a triple bypass so won't be driving his car. How often do I need to drive it to maintain it? I am especially concerned about the discs and our local sea air?

At least every fortnight take if for at least a 20 - 30 mile run, but obviously have some reason to do this. Otherwise, simply sell it and buy something else when he feels up to driving again.
