Drove the 3 litre Westminster to 150 miles to London, wasn't the fastest trip but by far the most luxurious

Put my name down for the craic with the lads at camp, who have now bailed out haha. Might see if I can fundraise a bit of money for H4H or something

Its awesome. I've done it every year and will continue to! Do it for RAFBF if you can, H4H gets millions each year and lesser charities still need funding.

Insurance decided to ask for my ncb proof 2 weeks after a policy was took out and now wont accept my ncb putting it up £800, brilliant

Because my 3 litre was taken under a classic policy and they won't accept no claims for that as any recognisable no claims bonus, going to argue the odds with them as a clerk has said they've entered into a contract so they either have to recognise it or cancel it and give me a full refund since it's their refusal

Yeah, Classic policies don't accrue NCB, but your insurer should have told you that at the time you took out the policy on the 3 litre whatever it was.

They didn't and when taking to quote out I even said it was earned on a classic and they didn't say anything, cancelling the policy loses me 400 quid and I refuse to pay 2100 for a 300 106, devil of the deep blue sea

Went to defrost the Westminster this morning, ended up writing phrases in the frost and walking away, I'll take the 106 instead :/

Strange question, but how much would by Austin Westminster have cost to tax in 1965?

-
RedRuby
Have a look at the link 64 £15, 66 £17 so presume £16 for 65
