classic
Shame it was not 25 years old instead of 15! Classic car insurance and no road tax!
i have a 19 year old and 17 year old wanting on the road, insurance costs for the under 25's are just not funny!
Enjoy the flat four experience and the four wheel grip, probably the best car to have an accident in, if you want to survive!
I once rolled a 5 door sideways two times, got out and walked away. Had it been a Fiat.......

crash!
My, then 16 year old woke from a drunken slumber on the second roll and accused me of trying to kill him! Should have gone to the Fiat garage! Lolz
Keep safe, its a jungle out there on the tarmac. I drive in Eastern Europe a lot, so the grass verge is usually the best place to be!

For insurance it will probably be best to put a K and N high flow filter element rather than the Pipercross kit. If Plod examines it, the car will look standard and there will be no declaration of modification.

frozen boundaries
You are right, but it shows how long i have been a car owner!
When introduced it was 25 years old cars tax excempt, but the government (i.e. Tony and the fat Scottish gordie the goldfish) decided to freeze it in 1998.
I used to run a road tax free TVR, with classic car insurance at 130 quid a year until the late 90's.
Pre classic insurance quotes were 1300 per year prior to NCB.
