Although it’s history now, and nothing happened. I’d like your thoughts. I purchased a classic car about 4 weeks ago. the car was arranged to be delivered on Saturday afternoon. I contacted my insurance company (I have another car) And took out an insurance from 12 noon. My wife and I then went shopping…On the Sunday we decided to go for out first drive in the car. after about 3 hours we were ‘blue lighted the traffic police. He asked “Is this your car? yes How long have you had it? about 24 hours. Do you have an MOT an insurance? Yes I showed him my MOT and explained I didn’t have an insurance certificate as I insured it yesterday over the ‘phone. We chatted for a while and parted in good humour. NOW —On the following Monday I received a ‘phone call from the insurance company — “We’ve been trying to reach you - Our computer went down just after we talked and you’re NOT insured yet”. What would have been the implications if the police decided to check (he didn’t) or I’d been in an accident?

Hi. Can anyone suggest a classic car for me that fits the following criteria: It must be under £2500, be free to tax, be convertible and cheap to insure. I’m 28 with 5 years no claims bonus. Ive looked at the Truimph Spitfire and MG Midget. HELP!

Hi, I live In WI and I am going through a divorce. We are trying to do this online cheaply without getting lawyers involved. I told her she can take what she wants, I just want my car. She verbally agree d, however if lawyers DID get involved I am afraid her word isn’t going to be enough. If I have her sign a paper, stating that I get the car, would that be good enough for the court? So far she pretty much has taken everything else already anyway.

Thanks Much!

I bought a early 60s chevy I bought it from craigslist, when the car was shipped here I already have the title. I was checking the cowl matching things up I guess I figured vin tag be there. I’m in a state that requires vin inspection to register the car. The owner won’t take the car back and I dont want go through the state police to get a new vin. I want my money back at least most of it. I thought was illegal sell car with no vin. What can I do or am I just stuck with the car? Thanks for the replys positive ones only again thanks!!

I have a love affair with classic cars- especially the muscle cars. I’ve never gotten to sit in one, let alone drive one. I don’t see it happening anytime soon and I want to know what it’s like.

Could anyone indulge me? Describe what it is/was like for you? Please include make model, what was under the hood. Most detailed gets best answer!

Cars of interest to me are generally 1960’s-1970’s Camaros, Firebirds, GTOs, Chevelles, Nova, etc.

obviouslyinsurancerates are higher for new drivers and even more so if they drive a sports car, but aren’t rates lower on classic cars? if so does the reduction make up for the car being a sports car? for example, a 1965 Ford Mustang.
Insurance rates on classic sports cars for new drivers?

this might be a silly question, but i saw a classic car listed a while back and it said in the description that it had bentley carpets, and i have also seen a tv show where they restore a classic bentley but get hold of paint for the new models, and i was just curious to see if you are able to buy / order pant and carpet from these car manufacturers, many thanks…

I was just wondering what types of cars the are for e.g. Formula 1, sports racers and that stuff, because I have GT5 and I want to buy the best couple of cars from each different type of race car. So I want the best F1 car and the best LeMans car and the best rally car and that stuff what types of cars are there, like the Zonda R and the Audi R10 what sort of cars are they, I know most of the cars are road cars but there’s heaps of different cars and then there’s old classic cars, as I see it there’s the F1 cars, LeMans car, SPorts race cars and road cars, and there rally and NASCAR as well but I hate NASCAR so thats not important. But just what different types of cars are there in Gran Turismo 5?

i need to know the names of some classic cars used in mafia film’s preferably used between 1950 and 1980

here is the craigslist offer. what i am trying to do is turn it into a daily driver. including the 2000 for the car, what would it run me to make it a daily driver?
i don’t want a showroom car i just need it to be a daily driver (something that i can drive around without problems or it breaking down on me).

My favorite bands are: Deftones, Tool, Chevelle, Filter, and Glassjaw. What other bands fit in there? What do you think I’d like?

The shop changed the plugs and tuned the car but they increased the timing way to much at 16 degrees but my engine is high performance and needs to run at 8 degrees so I was driving the car home from the shop and it made a big pop and dyed I got it towed back to the shop and they said it was my fault and that I revved it to high and must have been redlining it which I was not. What would cause my pushrod to just bend out of no where. The engine is a 454 and it’s in my 68 chevelle

I have a 1968 Chevelle Malibu 4 door hard top with a 327. I am looking for some websites that would carry some stock parts. Any help will be appreciated
