Funny that, both sarcastic comments came from TVR owners? At least I don't need to have an AA relay truck accompany me every where I go.

Neither do I...



I get breakdown cover through my insurers , FOC.


I believe they've got a special on for Porsche owners at the moment.



Every policy comes with free UK and European breakdown and recovery, and at no extra cost...



A sense of humour.

No, I use RH specialist insurance.

£116 for 3K miles, including EU/UK breakdown / recovery.

Been with them 8 years.

A few fellow TVR owners have had to make claims through them and they have been first rate.


PS Love the colour of the 'beetle' biggrin

I was just starting to like you and then you say that! bh.

Lockton are very good with Porsche's it seems, £189.00, agreed value of £20k, break down and recovery pan European, agreed 3k miles etc, last year I was £348 with Carole Nash. Renewal is end of June so it will be Lockton but I'll try RH first, cheers..

Mine may have morphed little over the ages but it is still in production in some form wink

I must admit I have always liked TVR's, my wifes cousin had a Taimar or it might have been an 'S'? with a Rover V8 and my old boss had a 4.2 Cerbera, absolute weapon, and the interiors are always so out of the box exciting.

My wife does have a proper VW Beetle in that Red colour
She loves it - I hate it(the car not the colour)

I am also insured with RH - although costs me a bit more in Bradfordistan
due to the thieving scammers at the other side of town (where it get dark an hour earlier than here)

Jeff - mine passed MOT yesterday with no problem again
Just off to the Post Office to get my tax now over lunchtime

Playtime starts again this weekend - and it will be LOUD!!!

Cheers
Trickie
