Here in Toronto we are very fortunate in that we have a local broker who
gives us a special policy for limited use ie weekends,shows and fun use
at very good rates.You have to have an everyday car and no oriver who
has been driving less than 10 years.They insist on an appraisal from one
of the several local appraisers but because of that they have never
disputed a claim and when you think about it the way we take care of our
cars their risk is extremely low.
I believe taht there is a similar scheme in the US run by MG Magazine at
PO Box 321, Otego, NY. Keith Holdsworth.
