Classic car insurance

And he told me Colin he had a StuG

That's a German Alfa isn't it ?

Youve got to come to cosford in one of these beauties next year

As the weather has always been good for the Cosford visits, I always go in the V8.

That is great to read. There's too many out of date stories about unreliable Alfa's floating around. It's your duty Bob to spread the good news about Alfa's.

MiTo 155 tb for about six years now and absolutely love it , trouble free

And another modern reliable Alfa. Great news. I love my Focus ST, but all this positive talk of Alfa's has got me thinking again......

That's a nice pair of MGBs Colin. I used to have a '65 MGB roadster, with a later 5-bearing engine, flared wheel arches, Starsky & Hutch paint job, floors made out of Duckhams cans flattened and pop-rivetted on, petrol tank held together with fibreglass, etc... Loved driving it but it was using as much oil as petrol (and rather a lot of both) so I sold it and a Mk 1 Vitesse to buy a friends Mk 1 Escort estate.

Isn't there an MGOC insurance scheme?
Another couple of names to try are Footman James, or Lancaster Insurance.

No power steering, has to be 'Driven' and has the aerodynamics of a fence panel - Beautiful!
Not a kit car.

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

floors made out of Duckhams cans flattened and pop-rivetted on

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.

What is that Ron. Looks like a customized Morgan. Does it still have a wood floor? I use Hagerty's for my vette. PaulE

Which come out very well in, on line reviews over this side of the pond. Could be a winner.

Paul - It's a Panther Kallista 2.8i V6. It has an aluminium body with a box section steel chassis. They were built between 1982/93 by Panther Westwinds at Weybridge here in the U.K.

I can't remember how many were build, but it wasn't many. I do know that about 150 went over to the States and there are around 114 left on the road in this country.
