I do indeed have this fine specimen sitting on my drive, but insuring it when it's not in my name is proving to be an utter pain in the arse, with several companies telling me that no one will insure something that's not in my name. I have fouind Admiral will do it, but they won't mirror my NCD so it's not cheap. Might be something to consider if you do plan on taking ownership of it later on

Posted

I mean that the car isn't registered to me, not that I'm trying to get insurance in someone else's name

Posted

I don't have the V5, would imagine Phil wants to keep it in his name and the next owner will have the same problem. Not that I'd condone or consider such things, but if someone got a quote saying the car will be put in their name, would it be checked at a later date?

Ok, so I've had this for a month now and aside from it occasionally claiming two bulbs have blown I've had no issues. Is there any plan for the next owner?

Posted

Why do insurance companies give a shit who it's registered to anyway?

 

Registered keeper does not = owner

Posted

They're normally OK if it's spouse (so you could quickly marry Phil) but not if they're no relation. The higher risk stems from the chance it's a pool car, and you drive it like it's not yours which in the wider world, means carelessly.

 

And yes, owner != keeper, but the keeper is the person responsible for it and is the only thing they can check up on.

Posted

I am happy to claim I am in a long distance relationship with any of you, but only for insurance purposes; not willing to consumate.

 

So who has it next?

Will arrange to get it to Red5 around the end of the month, although we are quite a way apart so how that will be done remains to be seen!

Posted

possible, I can't see any reason mecnahically it wouldn't make the trip but I wouldn't fancy a long motorway journey as it isn't exactly the quietest or most refined car in the world. Oddly I have had several instances of people try to either race or bully me out the way it in as well, so it does feel somewhat vulnerable

Posted

PM me if you do want help relaying it - might be able to assist in getting it further north.

 

It's not a refined motorway cruiser but should be alright for the journey, Phil did drive it from Tiverton to Devil's Bridge for Shitefest 2014 but then again I seem to recall he also went to Glasgow in his Mk1 Fiesta 1.1 as well so perhaps that's not a good yardstick.

Bump - would anyone be interested in taking this on? I've had my fair share and to be honest I really do need the space as it's sitting there doing nothing. Only thing is the MOT has expired; I don't mind chipping in for some of it but to be honest I don't think it would be reasonable for me to pay the full whack then immediately give it to someone else

Posted

What does it need do you reckon? I'll chip in, seeing as it's meant to come to me at some point.

Posted

Depending where it ends up for MOT, I'm willing to repair any failure items for parts cost and gratis labour to keep it going.

Posted

Reference insurance issue. I'd just tell them that you are the registered keeper. Firstly, they won't check. Secondly, if something happens and they do, just claim the V5 was posted off and the DVLA dip-shits must have lost it etc. 

Posted

That's what I did in the end, although had to take out a new policy which I need to cancel. Shouldn't need much, if anything for the m.o.t and I know Phil has loads of spares at his place in taunton. So grab yourself some free summer motoring!

Posted

Has this gone anywhere yet?

 

Assuming that this hasn't had half its suspension nicked or something, I am 87% sure that it will go straight through its MOT.

Posted

Still at my place at the moment

Posted

I thought there was a list of people in the running for this?

Posted

I'd like it just don't have the money for the insurance and stuff

Posted

Red 5 is next on the list, to be honest I'm eager to move it on now and free up the space

Posted

If Negative Creep can put it in for MOT, I'm happy to contribute to costs and if it takes the pressure off of Red5, willing to queue-jump stewardship (and thus it goes to its most northern posting and can thus make its way home via the next two).

 

Keep me informed.

Posted

I don't mind looking after it for a bit and don't mind sorting the MOT out but I don't have time to travel to Devon to fetch it. If it can be magicked up the M5/M6 its an open offer though.

Posted

My offer still stands to help get it to its next home if the date works and fuel/train costs are covered.

Posted

I think I'm on the list and am bang in the centre of the country.

 

not certain what the order is tho'

Posted

Any further thoughts on this? To be honest I really need to move it on and appreciate the current situation isn't fair on Phil or in keeping with the spirit of the idea. If it helps anyone I can sort you out with free 1st class travel on any First Great Western train to come and get it?
