Most Significant Classic of 2022!

[Tony Griffiths]

Given that some 17-year-olds manage to insure hot hatches that they then drive like complete a***holes, I really can't see why there should be such an issue over much tamer elderly cars.

Hi Martin

Around here (Llandrindod) these hoodlums regularly punch holes in hedges and worse. I am told they get cover through the “group insurance” taken out by their farming parents. What the premiums are like I’ve no idea.

Yes, that's exactly what they do. When it comes to a serious claim, if the conditions imposed have not been met to the letter, the insurers will leave no stone unturned to refuse it. Some years ago, the son of a local farmer wrote off a car by demolishing a dry stone wall at something over 80 m.p.h. His father claimed he was driving - and got away with it. Said farmer was also a bit of a lad; he managed (goodness knows how) to tap into the main gas pipeline and enjoyed 12 years of free central heating.
