Trick is, tell Miniworld that you have another Mini that you are doing up. Get one that is a basket case, and your aim is to get it to classic condition. They then give you a Classic insurance policy, like mine :tongue:
because I had a classic as my 1st car too, they knew that I was appreciating it as a classic, not because it was cheap!
To qualify for the mag and show discounts, you may need to have this classic policy. You need to buy them every month, ideally subscribe altho I dont, and go to a few shows at least really. Thats what I said, and the figure came down when I told them about the alloys and flipfront!
