Get that up for sale, you have a rare car there, and I'm sure someone will bite your hand off for it.

One of the problems you may have in trying to claim £4000+ is the fact you had it for sale recently for £2500. Doubt it will take an insurer long to find the advert, that's of course if the advert doesn't get deleted

From your for sale thread for the car, datman said...
"Nice. I will be getting mine back on the road (last on road 15 years ago) Mine is a petrol one. I will be putting it up for sale later this year."
Ask him how much he is selling his for, to get an idea of costings.

Obvious defect I think, nothing brake related seemed to actually be attached to the trailer, and think the handbrake was connected to nowt.

Well that was an interesting morning and afternoon. VR4-Rob (he who brought the car up, and of this very parish) was stopped by VOSA at the Tyne Tunnel, and they didn't like his trailer, mainly because it seems the breaks don't work, and the tyres were shot I was blissfully unaware of the trouble until Rob said that VOSA won't let the car travel any further. I then had to try and get someone to pick up the trailer and car together, and take them both to my lockup. None of the companies wanted to go near VOSA, so a bit of panicking later, one of the coppers on the scene recommended a recovery firm. Said recovery firm came out (at a fairly hefty cost) and eventually we got the Holden and trailer on the back of the recovery truck, and both were taken to the storage unit. Pictures will be taken when I am next there. Highlight of the day was probably having the coppers loving the car, and one of them talking about his brothers split screen camper van

The Touch of Frost Sierra was more than one Sierra, as D.I Frost started off in a mk1 Sierra, but later had a mk2, both with the reg D843 MPP.

Imagine how much the mk2 escort 2 door would be worth now.

Can't really comment about dual mass flywheels, but my van has one and the clutch is just now starting to give trouble (only when you boot it), and from the history it looks like its never been done, and has nearly 200,000 on the clock.

Original clutch in my dad's Ford Focus which has done about 110,000 miles now, all stop start traffic. The battery however is the original to the car, so has lasted nearly 13 years

Quite a few cars i wish I hadn't sold on, but mainly its the Holden estate, and a 1990 Escort 1.6L estate, that the previous owner had put his tuned XR3 engine into (horrible in stop start traffic, but great on the open road)

The only solution I can see here, is to buy a car you don't really need and swap the insurance over

Supposedly fully loaded, but don't know the options that were available.
Should have brought the history back with me, but all I know is that the first owner was the head of GM Europe.
