Yes you can get windscreen insurance with a comprehensive policy in Australia. However to get comprehensive on a car older than 10 years, if staring a new policy, requires going to a specialist company that deals with old or special cars (eg hotrods or race cars). The normal insurance companies won'...

Thanks Steve. Have you or anyone got the phone number and address for these people? Norwich is convenient for me because my wife has a cousin who lives near Great Yarmouth and we were staying with them only 2 weeks ago. I had no time to look for windscreens while I was in England.

Thanks for the info. Can anyone give me details of the best place in England to buy one from and price so I can order one and have it sent to an address in England?

Does anybody know if the 480 windscreen is the same as a 440 or 460? I just want to know for future reference in case mine gets broken one day. If the 480 is unique I may have to import one to keep for a spare (I am in Australia).

I have now covered 30,000km in the 1992 Turbo I am driving here in Umbria, Italy, including 14,500km in 2002 and the rest since we came back in January this year and got the car back from the lady we sold it to last time. When we first bought it it had done 137, 000 km and it has now covered 190,000...

Yes I know there is no spoiler on the white one. I was under the impression they were optional anyway. I don't know whether I will try and get one or not, it depends on how much it would cost to ship one to Australia and how much a second hand one in UK would cost. I will be in England for two and a...

Here is a side view of the black car. It got left off the previous post for some reason.

We have some very nice windy roads in the Adelaide hills that are ideal for trying out the handling on nice cars. We have a classic car rally every year called "The Classic Adelaide", http://www.classicadelaide.com.au/, which attracts fabulous cars from all over the world. The Mercedes factory alway...

I am 52 and a newly registered member. I am normally based in Adelaide, South Australia but am currently living in Umbria, Italy with my family. We will be returning home in December. We lived here in 2002 for six months and purchased a black 1992 480 Turbo which we loved. We covered 14,500 kilometr...
