I began restoring my omega CD while my Dad still owned it, repainted front wings, bumpers and bonnet a really really deep clean and new windscreen and major service later she was ready to be my wedding car.
While I was insured to drive her she only came out on warm summer days as my main cars were Corsa and Vectra SRi's.
I took official ownership in 2013 and was due to move house last August/ September so did some insurance quotes for a few address and compared them with were I was living on a comparison site, on that basis once I had moved my insurance company wanted to see the log book as proof I had actually moved.
After sending them a copy I was told that I was only the registered keeper from 2013 and my insurance would go up £200.
The justification for this was that I had less experience in the car than I would have had if I'd signed the logbook over in 2008, despite the fact I'd been driving it since 2007 and pointing out that the log book was irrelevant because it doesn't show driving hours or miles but they weren't having it.
After batteling for an hour I got the insurance back to £500.
