Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Time warp

[Robert Garven (rgarven]

It was no myth, I was of car buying age then. Any 2 seater was considered a sports car and insurance coverage was more $$ than a 4 door,

Ferrari, Maserati & Lamborghini made a niche vehicle for this time. And the owners cared as these were entry level cars… 

Of course the Ferrari was the best car but the bumper had to go!

I heard the same too. Wonder why the well to do customer buying those cars new would care about insurance rates?

Or fuel economy, crash test peformance, luggage capacity, maintenance costs, etc.

But then you’d lose the rear seats...

 

Jokes aside, I don’t know if it was urban myth, or actual regulation, but all of these types of “sports” cars that had rear seats, wasn’t that so it wouldn’t qualify as a “sports” car and therefore have a lower insurance rate?
