WANT A CLASSIC FOR A YEAR?

Would you or a close relative be up for the challenge of having a classic car to use free of charge for a year? Through the Classic Car Loan Project, which is now in its third year, you may be eligible to have a classic car on loan for up to 12 months in 2019. To be eligible you would need to be ideally 25 years old or more with a full UK driving licence, have a facility to securely garage the car and demonstrate a strong desire to become part of the classic car scene.

Car’s on offer for the 2019 Classic Car Loan Project now include the following: 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton; 1934 Morgan Super Sports three-wheeler; 1934 Austin 7 saloon; 1936 Austin 7 Ruby saloon; 1950 Alvis TA14 saloon; 1951 Morgan Sports three-wheeler; 1956 Ford Anglia 100E; 1960 Vauxhall Victor saloon; 1968 Morris Minor Traveller; 1983 Austin Maestro and a 1997 Volvo 740 Estate. Added to this list will be two specially purchased for the scheme by the Pre-war Austin 7 Club and the Alvis Owners’ Club.

As the scheme’s manager Bob Wilkinson explained. “This innovative project is well managed throughout with an agreement between the car’s owner and borrower covering care and maintenance during the loan period, with the all important insurance covered by Peter James Insurance Company. For some of the cars on offer, I would envisage having applications from those who may already own a more modern classic and are looking to experience an older car.”
