Joking aside and as lovely as it is, is that weight correct? 1850kg? that's heavy.

Very cool.

Ooooof

[Leins]

Think that Shamal has been for sale a while? Lovely thing though

[NomduJour]

Anything with a windscreen spoiler is fine by me.

Mushroom cloud sighted over cassa Envy.

Where's that Daffy gif?

IIRC, Harry Metcalf had a Shamal back in Performance Car days... and he loved it.

Always thought they looked fabulous.

Has the gold clock ever looked more out of place though?!

This is, erm, different

That is lovely!

I think the colour quite suits it on the outside. The interior is a bit more challenging (to my tastes at least). Gold with black could work though...

I'm not sure that interior would work with any exterior colour!

Would with tdf blue I think. Anyways, coffee?

Er, no!

A brown steering wheel?!

Coffee, though

On another topic completely - it's a big day for me, today.

I've taken out a "fleet" car insurance policy. One policy covering all of them regardless - new or classic, kept at home, kept in storage or kept at a different address.

It's a bit cheaper than having separate policies, but much easier from a paperwork perspective - if I buy another car, I just call them and add it to the policy. I suppose it would be the same if I ever sold one.

Oh, and I get fully comp cover on any car to £150k.

I've been wondering about these, how many cars are on the policy and who did you use?

Thanks

5 cars (as per my profile), and I found Chris Walsh at Nowell and Richards extremely helpful. 01892 576026.

I've got one of those.

However, I've edited for accuracy - don't forget they may charge you an additional premium when you add more vehicles.

Ha - very true. Although mine is set up as a monthly direct debit, so I don't even need to write a cheque - they just help themselves to my funds every month. More cars = increased monthly charge.

That is not the weight of the car but it's Gross Vehicle Weight.
