Classic Cars Need To Be Insured Too!

For most of us, when we think car insurance, what we have in mind is our work-commute or family automobile. However, classic cars need to be covered as well.

There is an increasingly large group of collectors who don't drive their prized vehicles at all, much less to work. In fact, some of them don't even drive them to car shows but tow them instead. Here's an interesting article on one of my favorite Classics!

The Colt classic on the rise

Envision a glamorous car, the kind you may see the good guy in a film speed through twisty Austrian mountain tracks in, with a laughing long-haired red-head in the passenger seat. Consider a music star car, with a stiff-hatted chauffeur driving his tattoo-wearing passenger past a horde of flashing paparazzi. It's almost guaranteed that neither of the automobiles which you have visualised mentally are the Mitsubishi Colt Cleartec, however think about this – are you an international secret agent of intrigue? Are you the bass player of a hard rocking pop band? Or do you really need a car which can get you around your neighbourhood, still look stylish and not stop working on you midway to the south coast?

You might not have noticed it, but the Mitsubishi Colt has developed into a classic car. Take a moment to contemplate this – there was a time when the Rolls Royce Phantom III was just the newest car out there, when the Jaguar E-type had just come straight off the line. But this time has passed and these automobiles are inked into the ledgers of history as classics. Likewise, while we were all busy growing up the Colt has been there alongside us, created with care and quality since 1962.

Have a look at the latest Colt brochure and you will see the principles that make a great car have been stuck to ardently for nearly 50 years. Efficient, economic, inexpensive and elegant, this car is the transport of preference for hundreds of thousands, while other purportedly ‘glamorous’ vehicles have come and gone, remaining the preserve of the obscenely privileged and frivolous.

Precisely what needs to happen to raise the Colt to the status of cult? It's possible it is already there and that we simply don’t realise, like a close friend who you never knew you relied on so heavily until you needed someone and they were there.

If this is the case then it can't be long before the Colt will become an object of desire which we can all own. So why not feel like a pop star, a movie hero and a smart driver all in one and book your Colt test drive now?
