I sent pictures of the car along with a letter from a friend in the
industry that the car was worth $10,000. They settled the next day for
$4900 and let me keep the wreck for parts. >>
Mike,
Good for you! It feels great to fight "City Hall" and win. Been there, done
that!
Even if we aren't British, we can still excercise that famous British
Tenacity. I suspect all LBCers have it. How else could we pick such demanding
little cars to want to drive.
Since I drive my '73 MGB everyday, I can't get a lot of the specialty
insurance that is available. If I ever wreck it, Allstate and I will be going
around and around. I hope for both of us it never happens. My 4" stack of
receipts for parts over the past nine years will choke them.
