We know a lot of people who have done. One great thing about being part of Adrian Flux Insurance is that you hear amazing stories from owners of amazing cars, or sometimes just normal cars, which have been owned for decades.<\/p>\n

30 years+ is a good benchmark, and we\u2019ve featured people who\u2019ve owned their bikes for that length of time already in our Forever Bikes<\/a> article \u2013 but what examples of four wheeled relationships are there?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rob \u2013 owned an MGA and Cortina for most of his life<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Steve \u2013 owned a Caterham since the mid-\u201880s<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nick \u2013 Montecarlo in astonishingly original condition<\/a><\/p>\n
