1 simple solution to this , get yourself a little £300 1litre runarond to build your NCB (thats what the second car thing is all about)......get your dad to insure the manta £150 borrow it when you want (every wk/end)....It all really depends on how long do intend on being a mantaman 10k a year just think of all the mods. you,d have to make in 3-4 years to keep it going .!!!..I got the manta bug in1979 always had one done the second car thing for the ncb....long story short,, 34 years later 2 manta,s both on classic insurance 5k miles each one,, driven alternatley thru out the year...COST PER YEAR!! ( less than insuring standard family car ). HAPPY DAYS think future jack lots of mantas goin to the wall which means the value of yours goes up..
