|  |     What car have you got......I joined the Triumph club and have got an
    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?

|  |     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 -

    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 13:29 | 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.
