Healey as well now your making me jealous have just had to sell my VX220 and will definitely want a new toy in the next couple years if I can muster up the money what sort of cost is your insurance on the Healey if you don’t mind me asking, and what age do they start classic insurance is it 20 years as here in the UK.

I only have the car, btw, because as a corporation (of 1 but still a corporation) I can have the taxman fund the Fords. As an employee I'd be riding on the bus.

My husband came here (to Canada) in 1999 and although he has a clean driving record and we are the same age, his insurance is TWICE what mine is, regardless of make/model/year of car.
I spoke with our insurance broker and she says that because he is from out of country, his insurable driving ''reputation'' starts from the day he landed in Canada. So he is considered to be a higher risk driver with only five years experience (despite his many years of accident-free driving in the U.K.).
Or maybe they have seen him accidentally pull onto the wrong side of the road on occassion!
Good luck!

If they think they are going to lose a customer and the potential for home and life insurance premiums in addition to motor insurance, it tends to focus their attention sometimes.
