purplebargeken Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well this didn't really get any better. I have phoned several insurance companies and they are saying the following (almost verbatim for each company): The Rover is not old enough for their classic policy (needs to be 20 years old). Okay I suppose. The Rover cannot go on a modern policy as my current NCB is all locked up in the i10. The classic policies don't have NCB useage anyway. Therefore they are unwilling to quote for a 'modern' car policy as I would effectively have zero NCB to apply to the Rover. This would seemingly make it too expensive to insure to even make it viable. So. Hold on. My Rover 75 was insured via PBIS on a 'modern classic' policy. The only issue there is that Francesca has not phoned me back. I did call on some pretext but they have a 'system failure'. She still hasn't phoned back as I type. In the meantime The Moog is sitting on a platform - Billy's place or that there London? Given the insurance fuckery, the decision was made. That There London. I am really sorry Billy. I hate to fuck people around, more so for the people on here, and even more so..... a mate. Huge apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 This has now really put a limit as to what I can consider for the future. Anything newer than 20 years old means it is out of my league unless it is a specific margue car, such as the MGF or Rover 75 as there are 'schemes' for those cars. Not for a humble 420 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auspom48 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I,m truly sorry to hear your tale of woe Ken but as I,ve only paid for a third of the R8 doess this mean you,re gonna hang on to the other two thirds!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Now the 406 is 'offficially' on the road, ditto the Calibra, I'm knocking this down to £275 if anyone on here wants it. It's a hell of a car for the money, I'll try and get pictures etc over the weekend. purplebargeken and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Phwoor! I have no intention of buying it, but could we see some pictures of the interior? I'm really interested to see what a posh, late one looks like inside. I missed this post somehow (sorry) will stick some interior pictures up later.

Cavcraft Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I don't half get some popular cars! If anyone wants this ace chariot you can have it for £200. Hand on heart, I doubt you'll find a better car for the money. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I would love to get this and have a race with the 45 V6, (with me driving both cars at once) Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm quite tempted tbh. Sadly I'm not drinking tonight so I'm not going to say yes until I've fully researched the situation. I wonder if Davenumbers would detour west before heading south on thurdsay? Hmmmm. Edit - flipping heck, you are 180 miles away because of mountains. Probably not then.

Guest Lord Sward Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 This will have the incredibly bland interior as they'd drop the wonderful Paisley trim. However, it'll have the oil tight second generation T-series motor. Which is definitely FTW. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 driveshafts will fit if the 45 is a 1.8 (PG1 gearbox)... but not if its a 1.4 or 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
