Best Insurance Deal? Vehicle Identity Check (VIC)

ham...@blimps.fsnet.co.uk (Hamish Freeman) — Thu, 11 Nov 2009 10:52:11 UT

Having now sent in my IVA application, insurance is next on the list.
What is the general opinion on who provides the best offer?
I have had one quote from Footman James against Beauford Owners Club membership, which matches the special arrangement achieved by the Quantum Owners Club after much negotiation, which did not give that much benefit for senior members but under-30's got a great deal, sufficient to make sports car ownership affordable - does that mean that other clubs may have benefited from the efforts there? An Adrian Flux web quote is yet to come back after two attempts - no option for "Retired" or "pensioner" under their job specs!

Vehicle Identity Check

ham...@blimps.fsnet.co.uk (Hamish Freeman) — Mon, 11 Nov 2009 17:26:46 UT

Does anyone know what is the procedure now for the quick look-see that used to be undertaken by the local DVLA office before accepting the details on the initial registration form?
I notice that there is now a separate item defined as a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) billed at ~ £41 now only available at the same centres as undertake IVA. I have scanned both DVLA and VOSA sites on this matter and found plenty on new parts vehicles and repaired vehicles but could not find anything definitive about kit cars made from second hand components i.e.donor parts. The item on how to register your car still refers to the SVA test and as far as I can make out states incorrect fees.

measles

I have a Beauford built around 16 years ago and it has just developed
a case of the measles.
A large number of bubbles have appeared on the fibreglass panels and
when pushed, water comes out.
This would appear to be similar to osmosis, that fibreglass boats tend
to suffer from.
Has anyone else had this problem, a local bodywork shop seems to think

anyone know where you can get (apart from Beaufords themselves) trunks
from? Either complete or spares (lids or the box), in particular the
old style shape for the earlier beauford models?

Hello

I am in a position to purchase a couple of your wonderful cars to use
for weddings.

My first question, probably of many, who do people use to insure the
cars for business use and how much would I expect to be paying.
Thanks in anticepation.

Petiton to Avoid the Banning of the Use of Older Cars

ham...@blimps.fsnet.co.uk (Hamish Freeman) — Sat, 01 Jan 2008 15:10:38 UT

Folks,
Whilst I do not usually wish to be associated with many of the petitions that go the rounds due to their ill founded notions and poor research, this one does get me as all of my fleet comes into this category.
In reality, the number of "older" cars is dwindling at such a rate and the use of those that remain is small compared to that of more recent passenger cars and commercial vehicles, the impact on pollution of the atmosphere is probably now small to insignificant compared to the general vehicle parc.

Steel wheels.

Hello Everyone,
Just joined the forum this week, I have a kit on order and have just
sent off my aplication for club membership.
Wondered if someone could advise me on the following.
I'm not decided one way or the other yet about using alloy wheels or
steel wheels with covers. As I need to get some wheels to roll the kit

Anyone know of any good products that they have used to retore the
