Martin,
just out of interest, what did she quote forunder 25 Delorean insurance, on the premise that the car is garaged? My lowest estimate so far is £1200, which if it really is the lowest, I'll go for, but it does seem high. Specially since my father could be insured for £180!! I'll give Andy a call this afternoon, but it would be good to knowif he is any cheaper overal, before I call. So, how much did he quote for yours when you enquired, I'll work from there. Luckily I do have a garage you see, and a nice warm one too:) Look forward to your answer,
Stephen.

Hi Darren
First off the club insurer, Sharmans will insure you onlyif you're over
25.
I'm 24 and am currently taking advantage of my Cable andWireless "no
questions asked" soopa-doopa policy, until I get to25. Unfortunately it
ain't cheap on a car that gets driven once a week!
Secondly, a mate at work passed me onto a broker his mother works for,
who
DID quote me on insurance, but one of the "must-haves" was the car must
be
garaged. Tel: 0121 2466067 Andy
Thirdy, there are several members in the club who are under 25. James
Grant
has pulled a fast one with his father, and he's only 21.e-mail

Lastly; importing or buying over here?! It's a tough one. I imported
mine,
and fell on my feet in a big way. I bought a non-runner with only 2353
miles
on it, and completely stock original. Bad sun-damage though which
basically
means hard cracked seats and a tatty dash plus the fascias need
repainting.
With a bit of TLC at my garage, it's running lovely now,and so far
including all the workshop time, parts, import tax, shipping and the
cost of
the car, I'm at about £8000. The cost was $7500, shipping was $1250, and
the
car comes in as "item of historic interest" at5% vat and no duty.
I hope this helps
Martin
