    Classic car insurance

    It's insurance time for the cars again. I haven't changed insurers for a while so need to have a look around. So, there must be other classic owners here, who do you insure with please ?

                    You could try Adrian Flux. They are pretty knowledgeable.

                      What a great response. I knew there would be some 'petrol heads' (or diesel - no discrimination here) on the forum.

                      Why two ? Well I bought the 1.8 back in 1997. After a while working abroad I wanted a V8 so the hunt was on for an early TVR. I was having no luck finding a TVR then this V8 conversion appeared for sale which ticked all the right boxes. So I intended to buy the V8 and sell the 1.8 However, the daughters protested, deciding that when I'm dead, the daughters (2 of) will have a car each. If I ever talk of selling one, the argument starts, 'well you better sell hers, not mine' So there am I stuck. A shame really, I'd love a GT6.

                            Beautiful pair of b’s colin , you lucky bugger . I bet the 3.9 v8 is a proper buzz to drive and the rover v 8 always sounds glorious , even more so when bored out a bit TVR style ! Youve got to come to cosford in one of these beauties next year! Cheers tony

                              Gorgeous car bob , I too imagined you in either a stug or a kubelwagen or something similar!!
                              The Giulia is a modern classic especially the QV!! Nice to hear youre an Alfisti too , petrol coursing through the veins ! Ive had a MiTo 155 tb for about six years now and absolutely love it , trouble free and always makes me smile , Saluti! Antonio
