[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 597078, member: 13810"] Perhaps and I am saying perhaps, you may get a better insurance premium if you have your vehicle voluntarily MOTD. I think a little incentive is required if that 6% is accurate. Part of that equation may in real life just be that only 6% of pre 1960 vehicles are not broken down or in the middle of the latest rebuild, or have owners that too are broken down / poorly / Ill and not able to take their vehicles out. The vehicles are all getting older and I'm sure that predominately the owners are too. I know of several owners of oldish type VWs that are no longer capable of driving but still own these vehicles. In one sad case this gentleman has a Karman Ghia and a type 2 that I think is a late and also another car that I can't get to the bottom of, but he's had them all from new. Now he has Alzheimer's and I converse with him although stintedly via his daughter who also has a late Bay from new. And we all know that these come off the road fairly frequently for refits etc. These aren't like essential work horses any more, not for most. Plus the wording of the 6% could be taken in several different ways. Oh well it's rarely up to us. Ozziedog,,,,,,,, just fill up and roll :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
