Re: new cabby top.
cheers for the link. i emailed a place in south london. they want 495 fitted. its probably worth getting it done by a professional like these. if it is 150 roughly to have it fitted, i may as well go to work, earn the money, and at least it will be stress free.

Re: new cabby top.
well, i ordered a new top from the listing on ebay.com. the american site. i have been told they cant send it to me from england. they can only send direct to the states. if i want one sent, it will be an extra 130 quid. why is it half as much again for us. am i missing something here.

Re:
it took me 9 months to sort mine out. i hope for your pockets sake that it all goes sweet. before i bought my car, the lady had the head gasket done because the rad blew. her mechanic fitted a new rad and did the gasket. the head was probably cracked way back then. luckily, i only give 850 for it.

Re: classic car insurance.
Oh, and your calculation's a bit off - £240 at 4000 miles is 6p per mile! the new insurance quote offered 4000 miles to me as a max. last year, i only drove around 700 miles. i didnt need the 4000 miles. trouble is, if i reduced it to say 2000 miles a year, then you can bet your last pound you woul...
