Thought as much. I take it your potential classic wasn't one of P.M.'s £35k+ models then?

I fail to understand the logic of NCD being on a per contract basis. Surely it should be about the risk you pose as a driver, If anything if you should get even more discount, if you have more cars you drive each one less.

Lol...not quite Graham! Giles...I totally agree with you. I've run a multi motorbike policy in the past and they take the view that you can only ride one at a time. But then the UK car insurance market is one great rip off with costs of spurious claims spiralling out of control.

Very nice Elise...........................  I think the massive excess is to cover the cost of a clam replacement - easily damaged, and allegedly about that cost to put right. Clam damage can be very superficial and this way, you would probably have it repaired. Tub damage, according to the forums usually leads to a write off. It would make a nice home rebuild project on a new tub though.......

Cor blimey, you're a ray of sunshine,  all clam damage and tub write offs  more to the point have you got your tape measure out and will it fit up your drive?

It will fit, with a bit of vaseline. Next hurdle is insurance, but that can wait until nearer the time. You're a bad influence.

Good bye Roadster, hello Lotus Elise S  I'm not sure I can believe this, if ever somebody epitomised a Mog owner I thought it was you Richard!  I wish you well with your new car and look forward to reading a detailed comparison with the Roadster. Can we open a book on when you'll be back in a Morgan?
