    I went to the alps over christmas in my 1990 110 Landy and got european cover from The AA. I'm already a roadside relay member but it cost me £88 for the additional cover for 8 days.

    I believe they calculate it from the vehicle age.....thats what I think anyway.

    Didn't use it fortunatly as it was nice and reliable.

    i have taken one across to germany, and back via spa,
    and a 1978 ascona on a 1600 mile trip, or a £200 maestro on a longer 2 week trip thru france and had no problems at all, i would recommend having a go.. you can easily put enough parts into a shoe box to mend most things on a nova.

    a lot of insurance companies offer their own deal, as do some travel insurers too

    A std nova would fit in a shoebox, Your struggle to keep all the spares for a LET in the boot. Although I'd be more worried about the fuel!
