excellant deal compared with the usual companies (200 quid cheaper, no
excess, guaranteed return).

| What does it look like then Mark.......I'm wondering if I've seen it in
the car park.
BTW - I see what you're saying in 480.0, being the owner of a spitty I
am getting used to being about half way down most peoples doors in
traffic queues...........it makes the speed exileration better though
!!

Mark,
You'll have to excuse Barry, he's a bit of thick lad who knows almost
nothing about cars.
Sorry Barry but the truth has to come out.

Don't worry Barry,
I get this all the time.
It looks a bit like an E-type and a bit like a 250 GTO Ferrari and a
bit like a GT6 and a bit like...
At the moment it looks mainly like a stationary object in my garage,
but maybe I'll try and fire it up this week, and then for the
respray!!!!

| Sounds good......my original inquiry was with respect to car clubs
insurance plans.......saved me a hell of a lot......might be worth a
bit of investigation if I was you.

Both owners clubs recommend AS Flux (who I use).
Does anyone have a contact number (I think it's often in the kitcar
press) for a company called Osbornes? There is another company (whose
name I can't recall) who are often have a big stand at kit car/classic
car shows - Does anyone know who/where they are?

1682.11 | Never tried to claim though... | NEWOA::MACMILLAN | So many V****s, so little time | Tue Feb 04 1992 13:17 | 10 |
| Hi Mark,
I use Osbornes for the Caretham - they have a kit-car section and
seem to be able to cope with unusual cars. I also transferred my other
car to them as their quotes in combination beat any others I could get
by a long way. Contact -
Osbourne & Sons - 081 641 2016

1682.12 | Snowball? | VOGON::MITCHELLE | Beware of the green meanie | Tue Feb 04 1992 13:26 | 9 |

One that advertises qiute a lot is 'Snowball' I think....
I havn't got a number, but I beleive they are based in Burton-on-Trent,
you may be able to get a number from directory enquiries. I don't know
anything about them.

1682.15 | Get the Insurance in your hand | VIVIAN::MILTON | Invisible person it seems! | Thu Mar 12 1992 16:29 | 12 |
| I tried insuring my 308 gt4 with Bain Clarkson Ltd, I thought it was too
good to be true, we agreed everything over the phone (including the fact that I
had just had my last car stolen) and I sent the cheque with the proposal (the
contents of which they had taken down on the phone and said I only needed to send
one in because it needed my signature on it). I went and bought the car and
waited for the insurance certificate which of course didn't turn up. When I
phoned them the said they had decided against the risk - this would of been ok if
they had told me or intended to - but this seemed to be too much bother for them.
Not my favorite company!
Tony.
