For the past five years I have been driving a slightly worse for wear but mechanically sound Golf Gti mark 1. The car dates from 1986 and is almost on its last legs. Despite this, I spend the money every year keeping it going because it is so much fun to drive! I must as a rule spend about five hundred pounds a year on the car, and it was more this year because I had a little prang in the car park at work, which was unfortunately my fault.

The upshot of the crash was not only the price of the repairs. I also had to say goodbye to my no claims bonus, and therefore affordable insurance. Or so I thought!
I had been speaking to a mate of mine in the pub, and he mentioned after hearing my woes, that he thought that my car might now be considered a classic, and because of this I would be bale to find specialist classic car insurance, which may well be quite a bit cheaper than my current insurance. It seemed like a long shot to me, but worth giving a go, so the next day I called Carole Nash cheap classic car insurance and to my astonishment I was bale to chop off about thirty percent off the price of my insurance! This was fantastic news because I was starting to think that I would have to trade the car in to get something more affordable! Now I get to keep my golf and be able to afford to run it!
