I am tacking it hill climbing next season and will also need to perform some mods which in insurance terms will make it "modified"

Used to be a couple of blokes up here who sprinted a 216.
From memory, they did very well. The car was basically standard, but both drivers were very committed. They often put less capable drivers with more
exotic machinery to shame.
The car was worthless.
Not such a daft idea.

Im with lancashire insurance. My car is lightly modified but htey are pretty good and look past the basic stuff. Non standard alloys, less restrictive
air filter etc
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Have a try of skyinsurance.com.
They give discounts for members of owners clubs cos they understand that if you go to the trouble of joining a club then you must be an enthusiast.
Don't know wether locostbuilders isone of the one they recognise, but I bet theres a rover one you could join. Don't even think you need
to be a paid up member just a forum member. Im hopefully gonna with them for my tintop cos my insurance went up 150 quid this year.

the mods need to be divulged but the other killer is getting insurenca for what in effect is racing.
Most organised speed events have their own insurance so it may be cheapr to rely on that - it probably will cover third party but not your vehicle.
In the long run it;ll probably work out cheaper. You need really ask those people that dothis type of stuff.

If you're talking about Kames that was Me and a mate from work. The main thing to do with the 216 is to get as much weight as possible out of it
as it is very heavy. This will be even more important for hillclimbing as you are lifting the weight as well as accelerating it.
Check the regs for the class you intend to enter and have a chat with the scrutineers, they are usually happy to talk about what you can and
can't do. The best mod we did was to shorten the tie bars for the front suspension by about 1 inch, this really reduced the understeer.
We never won anything but we had a lot of fun and as the car was worthless we could push to the limit without worrying about the cost of an off.
