A Classic in the making....!?

Guys 'n' Girls,

As if we didn't need further confirmation, Classic and Sportscar magazine's September issue will feature the 480ES as their "Classics on the Cusp" choice.

I'd like to think it was in response to a question i submitted to them 2 months ago regarding the classic 'status' of the 480, though i sincerely doubt it....!!

Nice one Roge, a bit more exposure can't be a bad thing as the actress said to the......

Nice to see other peoples viewpoint/impressions of a car you drive everyday in print. Hopefully will persuade more insurers to allow it on 'Classic' car policies too.

Where can you get classic car insurance anyway?

I think you'd need to be 25 VBB>

VBB - my Celeb is insured through Adrian Flux Ltd. Only problem with classic car insurance is there is often limits to yearly mileage etc. Not so much a problem for me, as my daily driver is a Saab but, if you use your 480 as a daily driver, classic car insurance doesn't really offer any benefits.

Just a thought!

You could try Performance Direct - I have mine on a "semi-Classic" policy, no mileage limit - classic orientated policies can usually accomodate younger drivers without too much of a loading.

Lol the Sept issue of Classic and Sports Car's feature was about an inch wide and 3 long-inc the pic lol! I was hoping for at least a page

Poor 480 deserves more than that

Im sure Footman James were the first to fully recognise the 480 as a full classic.

You could try them

Nice one Rog!
