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 ?
 
I use the TR Register club scheme for my TR4A. The broker is A-plan, at their Worcester office 01905 930745
What classic do you have Colin?
Pete
 
I use chris knott for my Alfa Guilia, not classic but excellent service!
 
WOW Bob lookin at the car I think youre a stirling moss lol but lovely motor an sure more pretty than a stug like I thought youd be drivein lol
chris
 
Colin, although the second love of my life is off the road and s.o.r.n.'d at the mo', try Heritage 0121 248 9255

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

This little thing, out for a wash.

And it's big brother, the 3.9L V8

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

This is mine, 9 alfas in 19 yrs, 100% reliability!!
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

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 There's too many out of date stories about unreliable Alfa's floating around.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.

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.

All this mention of bl**dy Foreign junk!

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