Sweet motor, well wear, you brave man

Isn't the V12 a 5.3l? Anyway, there's a comprehensive thread on insurance in the sticky. Check it out! I would expect you will be able to insure the car on a classic policy, even though the car is only 18 years old (provided you are at least 25 yourself). Let us know how you're getting on.

your quite right it is a 5344cc, im kinda new to boards what is the sticky? thanks for your help so far.

This is the big insurance thread mentioned in the Charter.

You might be better off starting at the end, and working back!

To get you started, call Carole Nash, First Ireland and AXA for quotes. Then have a look at that thread and see if you get any other suggestions.

Congrats - and pics please!

Thanks again

I wouldnt mind the insurance,its the 1566euro road tax that would bother me.
