It was our neighbours in our complex at work. Have all of his details and we're fully insured through Shannons. The young p plater driver pushed
the accelerator instead of the brake and launched the 4wd at speed directly across into Buz he also hit a hilux tray that was parked beside Buz. Looks
pretty bad and I said the f word a lot.
He's lucky no one was walking near by as the guys next door where unloading stock into the their shed all day.

I deal with Shannons a lot, and I can say from my experience that you will not have any headaches from them. You just need to find a proper
restoration repair panel shop.

My neighbour had a shed fire last Thursday (which then set my lovely 2 1/2 acres of rainforest on fire!) and lost his beloved Ducati Mike Hailwood
replica (the engine is now a solid puddle on the floor) . They had to use our phone to call their insurance companies - house is with RACQ and Bike is
with Shannons, Shannons not only caused a lot less fuss but they also said they'd cover all his helmets and leathers that were lost!! So I'm happy that you're insured with them....I wouldn't have it any
other way.....?

Are you allowed to drive your "Historic Vehicle" registed car to work?
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Shannons are great, we've been with them for years and had a few claims and haven't had a problem.
I've lodged the claim & they said that it wouldn't affect my insurance in any way.

Dosn't stink, good news I reckon, easy fix and back on the road and I'll bet Shannons will reinsure it. Great company to deal with.
