I agree with you that old car (not classic) is not worth having collision
on.However there are old cars and there are "pride and joys".
If I had a car that I have put as much effort, love and money into as Huw
did, I would  have collision on it too.
You can't put price tag on a car like that.  He's protecting his investment
(money and time).
I know I'll have it on my Ur-q when it hits the road Spring time.

Later.
