In the next day or two I'll be laying up the DS for the winter. She
lives under a cover in a nearby barn. Experience is that she stays

For a Ferrari, I would want agreed value, not many miles a year.  I have a
trade policy, but that is only up to 10000 pounds (not enough) and would
probably get out of any claims somehow.

The car is in a garage remote from my house, someone has angle ground the
three locks off.  The car is still there and intact and ...
