Hi Paul. Been a bit busy with other "domestic" things at the moment. My dear lady wife has her foot in a surgical boot following a planned op: so I'm chief cook & bottle washer. Hoping to get an MOT very soon. Watch this space. Thanks for your support.

You can't use the pound sign, just put the numbers down. Don't ask why, nobody knows !

Slartibartfast – I use A-Plan insurance for my Swordfish (following Mister Towed).

Initially, the no-claims discount I had built up on my ‘normal’ car didn’t apply.

Now I have a separate no-claims record on the Swordfish and it cost $180 last year.
(London, limited mileage and driveway parking.)

Cheers, Paul.

PS
To get around the technical problems this site has with some characters, I typed this post in Word first.
I then copied it from Word and pasted it into my reply on here to post it in the normal way.
Then, when most of the post didn’t appear, I used the Edit button to paste it again and then saved it.
That way the whole post appears in a way that ‘normal’ posting will not allow.

OK, my usual trick didn't work and I had to put a dollar sign instead of a pound.

Thanks Lucky; right ...... Footman James quoted me 103 pounds, which doesn't sound bad but they were pretty pushy and wanted me to sign up there and then. Sorry, but I wanted to see the terms and conditions before committing; so I terminated the call. So, who do you guys insure with? Let's hope I can get this sorted fairly quickly and get the The Old Chariot on the road for summer.

Footman James are well established so I'd be happy with a fully comp deal from them at that price. I usually go for an agreed value policy with kitcars and specials. At least you know where you stand should your pride and joy be totalled. They are probably having a slow start to the year because the weather is so bad nobody will be putting their cars on the road until it brightens up , you can understand them pushing their policies !
