i do insure it as a cabriolet so all should be ok, some insurance just comes up as xr3i and if it comes up hard top i change to cabriolet. think il just leave it, its never been a problem before but it is nigglin away at me thant its wrong!
-
just tried another classic one and its even cheaper!! result. was never a fan of the whole classic car insurance before but fook im liking it now!
-
oh how i hate insurance! company i just joined contacted me to say about a discrepancy in the details i gave, its complicated but thay wanna charge me a further 350 quid! its 25 notes to cancel the whole policy so think im gunna do that, just tried lancaster insurance and got a good quote so il try some other classic insurance, to be honest i cant really be botherd with the hassel anymore but i must persivere!
-
And by the way, its good to hear from you again Tony, hope all is well

Don't really want the dvla looking at it because of the engine, don't want to register it as a turbo, had a lot of headaches with similar before.
-
but if they have it as a saloon and i tell them its convertible will they not think its been converted from a hard top and need some sort of test??
-
Mines been registered overseas and is an import so would of been re-registerd so I'm guessing that's why its wrong, if everyone else's is convertible?
-
Just been looking at my v5 and body style is saloon, thought it would of been convertible? Is other peoples the same?
