(Classic car) Insewerants recommendations, anyone?

Did you try that Peter James link I posted just yesterday?

Have a look here

they insured my locost fully comp for £125 for the year.At the moment all I've done is give them money though so can't comment on their customer service etc.

Requires cars to be garaged. Says so on the website, unfortunately.

Might still be worth calling them, as it also says over 30, but one of the Retro-rides guys got a decent quote at 26, and the quote I posted for a hearse was "parked on drive".

Oh joy, you've found an 8v Integrale Evo Kat or summat?

Yep.

As a replacement for one of the other three, or as an addition?

It'll only make sense as an additional classic with a view to containering it up in a few years.

Problem is that the supposed daily driver has developed an interesting knocking sound from the engine that doesn't sound like variator rattle to me. OTOH the weather forecast in Switzerland suggests that 4WD might be a good idea.

YES! YES! Integrale!

Yes... I can see now why getting rid of the Golf was such a good idea... no offence, like. ;-)

Mumblemumble.

At least the windows haven't fallen out of the Alfa. Yet.

I tried them today for the Puma, should I decide to keep it. 250 fully comp, unlimited miles as a 2nd car. Not bad at all. I was going to take it until my current insurer, More Than, said they'd beat it by a tenner when I emailed them the quote..

Aye, cos the Golf did that constantly in the nine or so months you had it. ;-)

-- JackH

Clearly. :-).

Actually, some fresh, reasonably thin oil fixed the funny engine noise. I think the Alfa wants to have the engine flushed and some decent oil put in. The more you drive it like you're in Rome the healthier it sounds afterwards.

Is that for the Alfa or the Integrale?

The Alfa.

I was rather hoping common sense would kick in before you made a decision on whether or not to buy something like the latter, tbh. ;-)

-- JackH

The trouble with common sense is that it's rather uncommon.

I've found Brentacre (01792 650933) to be extremely useful for insurance on my Golf GTI. They're willing to insure most stuff - generally mods are free up to a set power limit, so a lot of stuff other insurers won't cover, like cages, they will.

CIHAGM?
