hi, Graham, about hagerty insurance, you said:

year...=========================================
this is NOT true - hagerty will question 20k miles/year, but there is no mileage
restriction per se.  they specifically told me that if i wanted to drive a
pantera from maryland to las vegas & back for the annual pantera convention,
that this would NOT be a problem - and that's 6k miles for the one week!  they
also said i could use my car for pleasure driving, or the occasional drive to
work on a nice day, etc.  what they DO require is that i have another
conventionally insured daily driver.

as for j c taylor, i dunno anything about their policy, i only know NO ONE on
the pantera digest will TOUCH them - consensus is they are scum.

ciao for now,

doug s.
