Ah, finally something auto related we have a better deal on over 
here in Sweden. Finally... I've been getting more and more envious 
when reading the material You sent me - but finally You gave me at 
least a minute compensation... ;-) 

Over here I pay SEK 418 [~USD 49] per year for the Spitfire, with 
unlimited annual mileage and a car coverage of up to SEK 145600 
[~USD 17160]. Coverage for injury to people [in or out of the car] 
is unlimited... For the TR8 with the same terms I pay SEK 1182 per 
year [~USD 139]. It is more expensive as compared to the Spitfire 
simply because it is still not 20+ years old. When, in 2001, it is 
the cost will be exactly the same for both cars. I might increase 
the value of the '8 to "up to SEK 218400" [~USD 25740], then the 
cost will increase to SEK 478 [~USD 56] per year... 
The only restriction in this insurance scheme is that I'm not 
allowed to use the vehicle as an every day transport or a vehicle 
transporting [me, others or goods] for gain... Easy to live with I 
think. 

It's definitely not worth resettling to Sweden for, but... 
Well, I'm still impressed with the possibilities automobile-vise 
You all have over there... 

Stay well my friend, 
Kind regards 
/Odd
