Somerset Black Tulip TC Update

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd post an update on the current status with myself and my Dad's car.
Mum and I took the car into the garage for it's MOT last Tuesday and it passed with flying colours!!
(Was nice to know that my greasing of the front suspension was up to scratch!)
Also, as of last Wednesday, I am now officially insured on the car and have already had the pleasure of driving it which went well.
Hopefully, providing that no unexpected problems occur, I shall be able to bring the car down to the National in July where I look forward to meeting many of you!
Thanks again to all of you for your support over the last few months.

I'm with an insurer called Peter Taylor. All that I know is that they work with Allianz as it's on the official documentation.
Mum rang up a couple of companies and they all said 'no' straight away because of my age. But, this one said 'yes' to add me as a named driver and with Mum staying as the policy holder. Mind, the only reason they let me on this policy was because I'm insured on another car!

Peter S Taylor didn't really want to know when I called them
Most companies are pretty picky now about young classic drivers being insured on another car. Not so bad after a couple of years of driving but would be crippling financially in the first year or so (I'm paying less for two cars this year then I did for one last year!).
