Now summer is here, insurance and electronic ignition

At last we are having a spell of lovely dry, warm weather in the UK.  I have been able to get the Daimler out on a regular basis at the weekends. A few weekends ago managed to take it to the pub in about 10 miles away on Friday evening, dinner with friends on the Saturday evening and then to the local garden centre on the Sunday.  Brilliant fun and lots of comments from folks in the pub, although I am not sure what our friends thought of the car.

The electronic ignition is finally fitted and working.  The main difference seems to be that the car runs more smoothly and starts more easily.  Overall probably a good investment.

Recently I had to renew the insurance, the car is insured through a company called Lancaster, but I thought I would see if one of the other clasic car insurers could beat the renewal quote.  This was not a great experience - the lady I spoke to from Footman James made me feel like she couldn't be bothered and was in fact doing me a favour and the quote was about 40% more than the renewal figure I had been quoted.  I remained with Lancaster for another year.  Does anyone have any other recommendations?
