Colin, sorry to contradict you, but Peter Best does not insist on the car being garaged on the Classic policy ~ mines kept on the drive.

Why don't you transfer the NCD to the MG and start the Fiat 500 off as the newly insured car. When I first bought mine I registered it in the wife's name, I pay £323 with Aviva. I changed from an Admiral Multicar policy last year when they hiked up all their prices, remember loyalty counts for nothing these days with Insurance Companies.
Road Tax on my 04 reg is £260 (may have gone up to £270 now).

PS.... Forget the trees, they are overrated.

Sorry its not in the public section,i will add it this morning.This is a reluctant but genuine sale and a real bargain for anyone who wants to care for these rare cars.I have had mine for five years and have only seen three others in my area in that time,i even had someone tap on the window, while stuck in traffic saying it was good to see one on the road.

When insuring these cars it is important to consider "market value"
With an ordinary type of policy even a minor prang might result in the car being written off, as the "market value " of the car may be a lot less than what you paid for it, or what you may consider your pride and joy to be worth
With a "classic car" policy you agree the value called "agreed value" with the insurer.
Thus a low mileage 9 year old 260 in good condition might have an agreed value of £6/7/8 K but the market value might be £2/3 K or less
Worth thinking about
Dave
Peter Best is coming up as a recommendation time and again, and indeed the RV8 is insured through them. spoke this a.m. and they quoted £218 for a 3k limited mileage...... Quite a bit better than the £1100 quoted by specialist classic insurer Heritage. Adrian Flux were v helpful at £450, and doing the fiat without the NCD at £285.
Going to see the Mark 1 260 tomoorrow. Will report back on my return.
