What would be the cheapest way to insure the 3rd car? Some insurance companies offer Classic Car insurance for 15 year old cars, but I'm yet to find a competitive quote.
I've had some quotes for year 2000 Volvo V70, all in excess of £500... seems daft for a £500 car that is driven less than 1000 miles a year, bearing in mind I paid something like £350 to insure the A8 
Oh and if anyone knows of a suitable car for sale let me know  |
I use Footman James for my Fiat Coupé, but they can be a bit picky on which makes and models are "classic" - e.g. they wouldn't insure my S8 as one
., but you could always ask - they were very competitive on my Coupé, based on a very limited annual mileage, etc.
In terms of finding a workhorse car, I'm pretty sure my neighbour is still selling her dad's Volvo 850 Estate. I was interested in it, till I found out it was a diesel, which I wouldn't want. Visually, it's in seriously good condition, though I've not had it mechanically checked out.
