Personal insurance
3rd September 2010
More Britons would like to own an Aston Martin than any other car, a new poll has revealed.
Those seeking a UK insurance policy for their vehicle may be interested in figures from Lloyds TSB showing that a classic British car is the dream for many motorists.
The bank estimates that six million drivers would like an Aston Martin, 3.8 million yearn to have a Jaguar and 3.7 million aspire to become BMW owners.
Filling out the top five were Audis and Mercedes-Benzs, followed by Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
One in five respondents to the survey predicted they would one day drive their dream motor, with two-thirds of these putting money aside to own it.
"Whilst the life of an international spy is probably a bit far from reality for most of us, the dream of a new car doesn't have to be out of reach," TSB loans director Evelyn Hamilton said.
In addition to choosing the right insurance policy, owners of luxury cars should also opt for the correct garage after a mystery shopper test by Which? found most businesses checked failed to spot simple faults.
