Over 30s only. Bastards :)

The guy in Retro-rides is 26, and did it on the phone. Over 30 is just online I think.

Ah, that's a good recommendation, thanks I'll check with them for a quote this year.

I'm quite tempted by this heap of crap. I know I'd lose every penny I spent on it, but even so, it's tempting.

I can't be arsed to phone at the mo, but I will do when I sort a car out. Lets hope they haven't raised there prices by then!!

There's an insurance broker just started advertising on locostbuilders, I got a quote from them for the locost last week and they came up with £125 for fully comp for the year (4k miles). I paid by card there and then....

Getting old[1] has at least one plus point ;)

[1] 40 next year, eeek !

Needs to be garaged for an online quote :(

Mine was parked on drive, not garaged, suppose it depends on what you want insuring.

Slightly odd one that, why couldn't it have a Genesis.

Wonder where I might find a Daewoo Imperial

then transplant in a Lotus Carlton wreck under the body.

Are there any of those about?

They're still about where I live but like Escort Cosworths and Lancia Integrales they normally live in garages 99% of their life and only get out on nice hot summer days to prevent them turning into a pile of rust.

That doesn't surprise me. But I was actually thinking of a wrecked one - I'd have thought even the salvage would be pretty desirable, such that getting hold of it for peanuts for putting in something else would be end up being rather unlikely.

I saw one being driven hard out Lytham St Annes way, it was in a bit of a state and there was a hint of smoke from the exhaust, sadly.

Oh I didn't say it would a cheap build, but would be an amazing sleeper, and Much better than Astra GTE into Daewoo Nexia.
