FBHVC Appoints an Automotive Fuels Expert

Please see the attached Press Release (link below) which some of you may find interesting
from the Federation of Historic British Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) about their new
appointment of an Automotive Fuel Expert.
Their Role will include assessing, studying and understanding the impact of changing fuel
demands and technologies on the historic vehicle community as we move into an
era of electrification.

It’s interesting that we discussed this very issue at the last Association meeting in
January and reassuring to know the FBHVCs have appointed someone to look
into it.

Good news from RH Specialist Insurance

Brexit – and driving in EU countries:

The deal between the UK and the EU did not include the UK remaining in the European free circulation zone. Therefore, UK motorists will need to carry a valid Green Card when driving their vehicles in EU countries. Clients may also need an International Driving Permit, should have a GB sticker on their vehicle and also carry a copy of their V5 document when driving in the EU. See https://www.gov.uk/driving-abroad for full details.

The good news is, if you’re an RH client, you won’t be charged a single penny in admin fees when requesting a Green Card. You can elect to receive your Green Card via email (you would need to download and print a hard copy) or post. If you select the postal option, you are asked to allow up to 3 weeks for delivery. You can provide the RH team with details of your intended travel in EU countries either via email – rh@ers.com or call them on 0333 043 3911.

Reinstate your RH comprehensive insurance after down-grading during lockdown

Enjoy what’s left of this year with RH’s help

Get ready for some autumnal adventures – remember RH doesn’t charge any fees to get you back on the road

We know this year hasn’t gone to plan. We’ve all had to adapt to a new and radically different way of living and working. That has also had a huge impact on our driving habits. However, even in the height of lockdown there was still the opportunity to get out and drive (albeit just to the shops). If you’re anything like us – and we suspect you are – that short drive one a week gave you a much-needed dose of normality. With another national lockdown on the horizon, you may want to get out in your cherished car before the winter months come.

If you’ve downgraded your cover because you’re not using your car, did you know that you can upgrade it again to fully comprehensive without incurring any fees? RH doesn’t have any policy admin fees; just call us, and you could soon be back on the road, enjoying some motoring adventures. All you have to pay is the adjusted pro-rata premium and you’re good to go. One of our long-term clients did just that and here’s what he has to say…

John-Joe Vollans – Former editor of Modern Classics magazine

“As an RH client I took advantage of the lack of fees to alter the cover on many of my cars while they were tucked away in storage; the flip side was that it was just as easy to pop the 190E back to fully comprehensive cover. Driving it on our staycation for a few weeks of normality has been the highlight of a particularly horrible year. I can’t recommend it highly enough; just do it quickly before we run out of favourable weather.”
