Classic car insurance

[Guest]

Foreign. I'll have you know mine were built in the 70's by a proper, uninterested, poorly managed, union driven British work force.

I restored the Damask red one, it was on its third set of sills, all of which had to be removed. 70's rust, nothing quite like it.

And do not forget the old cement bags used to fill out the door panels before the half ton of filler was put on. First job I had when i left school was in a back street garge/car sales Alvis Grey Lady, Jags Mk 7,8 and 9, Triumph Roadster and then it was chop the roof of one Alvis to make it into a tourer. The Boss served as a rear gunner on Lancs. What an entertaining intorduction to a working life.

In the sixties, when T-type MGs were just old bangers, a chap in our local MG club had a TC that had belonged to a plasterer, and one door was almost completely filled with pink plaster with a coat of gloss paint brushed over it. Another member bought a TA with low compression - when he took the head off it had a wooden piston!

I would like a Alfa step front GTAm from the late early 60/70's, but do not have the 75000 or so bugger

Panther Kallista Ron? I'm sure you could buy it in kit form.

No chance Pete. It was factory built nr. Weybridge as was the similar Panther Lima 1 and 2

Fair enough Ron. A neighbour had one a long time ago, and I was sure he told me he'd bought it as an unfinished kit. Maybe he meant an unfinished restoration project or summat.
