Classic Mini car insurance likely to be growing in popularity

A new range of bumpers has been launched for classic Minis, which are increasing in popularity.

This is according to manufacturer XPart, which has also unveiled a selection of bonnet bars for the vehicle.

The company said there are approximately 35,000 owners of such motors in the UK, many of which may have classic Mini car insurance.

And while proper maintenance is required to keep them looking as good as they did in their heyday, it can be difficult to source the right equipment.

"They can also be difficult to fit, resulting in hours of additional labour. Non-genuine rear bumpers can often be the wrong width," added UK sales manager of XPart Barry Smith.

He went on to explain that with the correct items, owners can ensure their classic Mini keeps increasing in value and remains in tip-top condition.

Fans of the newer Minis are likely to be very excited about the forthcoming launch of the Countryman, which is the first in the range to offer four-wheel drive.
