How do you go about insurance on that many ? With NCB etc , asking for a friendNormally well under a year.... which is why I have had so many even though I rarely have more than one at a time.... somewhere between 30 and 40. Also had around mid 20s motorcycles....
.......but I've had my current ALFA daily for 5 and a half years... unheard of!!!!...although I've had a couple of others in that time. Got to go soon.... as at 175,000 miles I'm pushing my luck.
That’s great value. Especially for an import.As it says....I rarely have more than one at a time....so insurance is not an issue....if I get a second or third car they just add it on...funny that when I do the premium is not proportionate.
As an example we have a18 Yo working in the shop he pays £1200 to insure a 14 plate Corsa (no black box).....but he loves MX5s....but the insurance on it own was a no go. He was offered one by a customer of mine (import, 1992, mechanically great but UV damage to black paint)...so he bought it...we all joked about him never getting insurance for it.....but it only cost £500 to add it to the Corsa policy....so even at £1700 total its over £1000 less than insuring the MX5 alone!!!
Wow, 50 years is truly remarkable.In the case of my MGB GT V8 over 50 years.
My MGA, the third which I have owned, 9 years.
Sadly I will have to sell them both in the next year or two.
I've driven many Spridgets over the years , plus a few B's . A friend has a show winning MGA which I've often been out in , plus two 'Big Healeys' , and another friend has an E-Type , all long term owners .In the case of my MGB GT V8 over 50 years.

Can we ask...what is the "retirement project" ??Will be coming up 45 years between me and my parents for one of my cars (which is still off the road pending my 'retirement project' actually getting started despite me being retired for 2.5 years now ).
Typically I've had new company cars every 3 years, but we tend to keep my wife's car longer and will continue that approach now I have my own car. Hoping to get another 3 years at least with our 2016 C200 bought over 2 years ago and maybe another 3 years with our 'shopping car' so we can replace both with a single newer car...then keep that for at least 5 years if not more.
