Looks nice! Bright here up the other end of the country but windy and cold. Not a bike day.

Not a good look Ian especially on a roller. Any car for that matter!

It's over 25 years old, and low usage
Try Peter James with classic,
They can only say no

My bikes are with them worth a try.

Try H & R insurance in Aberdeen, I found them very good when I used to have my 1994 BMW M3.
H&R will not give me a quote on this particular vehicle.

My renewal quote from Direct line has arriived today for our 1997 Merc SL500.
Price has increased from £305.16 fully comp in 2023 to £406.49 on restricted mileage of 2k a year. All the excess have increased as well. Cover is Market Value of the vehicle & includes Green Flag break down, glass cover with an excess of £125, accident excess £500. Full NCB but not protected.
There were 9 pages in red ink of excusions & policy changes including Government Action, War or usurped power etc.
Anyone here who can recomend a Broker or Company for older vehicles that are not really classics, I seem to be paying more for less cover?

Back in the day most cars had number plate mounting holes fitted at the factory with a threaded dead eye or a plasic insert for a hex head type screw at the rear.
It was not difficult to affix a level plate - when I was doing new car PDI's and fitting plates on Vauxhalls & Opels if a plate was not level the foreman would send me back to the Stores to make a& fit a replacement.

Yes, an interesting bike with perhaps not too much to rectify - silencer at least looks aftermarket. I'll keep an eye to see what it ends up at, like many others but I have a similar condition one with lots of genuine NOS stuff and one or two copies.
I don't think Ted is unreasonable about the number plate saga - it's easy enough to do it right in the first place. Years ago we were following a newish Rolls Royce and the rear number plate, bolted on was at least half an inch lower at one side. Had that been my new car, I would have kicked the idiot who fitted it up and down the road!
