Cancelling insurance within 14 days - LHM

I've just got back from picking up a car which I had been considering using as a 'bangernomics' experiment. Insurance was arranged online two days ago with Tesco.

On closer inspection, the car will need a fair bit more work doing to it than I'd envisaged :-( It's currently off road whilst I decide what to do with it - not sure how long that will be.....

So regarding the insurance, will I be able to cancel under the 'within 14 days' clause? Reading the policy wording implies this can be done without charge - even though I've technically had the car 'on risk' for a day. Will cancelling leave a 'blot' on my insurance 'record'?

Thanks.
