A7 Insurance

[Ruairidh Dunford]

Which parts of an Austin Seven are most at risk from this Peter?

[Peter Clayton]

That's the question Ruairidh, I don't know.  As I understand it, various rubbers and metals can be affected by perishing or corrosion.  Fuel seals , taps  solders etc could be prone. I don't know and there are so many possibilities I just want some reassurance for all, that should something occur we all know where we stand.

[Ruairidh Dunford]

I am not aware of specific examples of it affecting any original parts of Austin Sevens, in any way, I have asked a number of times on here and Facebook with zero outcome.

If rubber pipes have been retro fitted to a Seven, they should be replaced with ethanol proof ones.

North Americans have been running on E10 in the USA for years now and nobody I know over there has reported issues with Austin Sevens either.

Renewed mine today. Nippy and RL same price as last year, Good Deal. However, my insurance expires on 25th May. I had not received a renewal notification, so phoned RH 7 days ago. Still no renewal today, so had to phone again today.

Funny,my renewal quotation has jumped almost 10% despite no changes to the policy ?

Hi All

My renewal notice from RH was received yesterday a full month before the due date.  It is less than last year  .

Cheers

For someone insuring a single car, the premium may look as if it has jumped, somewhat. One of the reasons is the increase in legal protection cover, which has increased this year

I'm insuring 4

[Dave Mann]

I've just received my renewal from RHS with a 13% rise over last year so I phoned them and asked if long term customers are being charged extra, the response was to drop the premium to that of last year.

Did you have legal protection cover ?
