Mrs johnboy and I were round at one of the neighbours the other day, he has rather a lot of cars, mach 1 mustang, 911, 944, Supra, Alfa spider, Boxster just to name a few. Anyhoo conversation comes around to classic cars, me and my neighbour start having a classic car nerd off, I says, always wanted something classic but opportunity never came up when I've had spare cash etc.
A couple of days later, neighbour comes over and says, until the other day I never knew you had an interest, he then says would I like the use of a 1994 Mercedes R129 500SL, not fantastic condition but laid up for a few years 1-1.5k should get it roadworthy and it's mine to use for as long as I want, so for the price of a couple of weekend classic car hires I've got the sole use 24/7. Can anyone foresee any issues? Obviously I'll have it insured on a classic policy with a guaranteed value that more than covers the actual value should the worst happen, now that I'm no longer working Mrs JB and I have spare time to enjoy an open top classic ish car.
