(Classic car) Insewerants recommendations, anyone?

#1

I'm currently exploring the feasibility of added another Italian jalopy
to the stable, namely a 20 year old 4WD hot hatch. To make it worse the
car in question is a Swiss-spec one that doesn't appear on any
insurance brokers' computer.

So far, most of my preferred brokers have declined to quote either
because it won't be garaged or because "it's not on our system". Only
company to quote was Heritage.

Anybody got recommendations for good classic car brokers that include
or can include European breakdown cover?

Have a look here http://www.2getherinsurance.com/ they insured my locost
fully comp for £125 for the year.
At the moment all I've done is give them money though so can't comment on
their customer service etc.

Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.

Requires cars to be garaged. Says so on the website, unfortunately.

Might still be worth calling them, as it also says over 30, but one of

the Retro-rides guys got a decent quote at 26, and the quote I posted
for a hearse was "parked on drive".

Oh joy, you've found an 8v Integrale Evo Kat or summat?

Yep.

As a replacement for one of the other three, or as an addition?

It'll only make sense as an additional classic with a view to
containering it up in a few years.

Problem is that the supposed daily driver has developed an interesting
knocking sound from the engine that doesn't sound like variator rattle
to me. OTOH the weather forecast in Switzerland suggests that 4WD might
be a good idea.

YES! YES! Integrale!
