I don’t know if there is such a thing as an IAM HGV course, but if there was, anyone holding that qualification would be deemed an Advanced HGV Driver.

AFAIK there is, if you pass you get a blue IAM badge.

At our place it is a requirement of their insurance policy that anyone who drives a company vehicle (be it car, ■■■■■■ or lgv) has to have passed their IAM. The company pays for the training.

My ‘car’ insurance for my classic Mini is one of the cheapest going as it’s a specialist policy at £445 full comp with all mods listed and agreed value of £6500

Crikey! That sounds expensive to me.

I insure my Atkinson Borderer, fully comprehensive, with an agreed value of £5000 for only £122 per annum.

I have just renewed, using one of the links from Moxar.com is available at DomainMarket.com. Call 888-694-6735. A mondeo LX 1.8 16v was offered as £316 with the AA, but £198 with A-Quote - some saving eh?

I also just reinsured my Landy, a 1972 Series III SWB for £180 with Highway.

Give some of them a try, you could save a packet.

Cheers

I bet my mini goes faster than your Atki though…
If you crashed your Atki into a wall i expect it would be a lot cheaper to repair than if i crashed my mini into one…
Also i dont suppose your Atki is ‘modified’ I cant see you getting a John Cooper tuning kit for it anyway…
:laughing:

I doubt you use your Atki for commuting either do you?
I could get the mini a lot cheaper with limited milage and not for commuting etc. Also if it was standard, it would be about £150 less.
