Bought my 91 463 with the express desire to take it to France this Summer on a camping trip. Hit a snag in that Green Flag won't cover a car over 10 years old out side the UK (also had a hissy fit when they realised they'd given me full cover on the 83 460 last year :twisted: )

So querry is what do other 10yr+ G owners do for cover abroad? or do you trust in Merc reliability??

cheers

Re: Breakdown Cover

Worth checking your insurance mine has UK & European breakdown included in the policy.

Re: Breakdown Cover

I used Britannia Rescue (with a 1994 Discovery) a few years ago and had a breakdown in France. They were very helpful.

Re: Breakdown Cover

I used AA European breakdown cover. They also said that normally they wouldn't cover an older-than-12-year-old car, but made an exception to the rule. Otherwise, I've insured my G with NFU and they definitely have European breakdown cover if you require it.
