That really sucks. Ever figure out what started the fire? Not that you had a lot of time to research.........
Glad your alright!

It looks like that its fuel related, weather a flexi split somewhere who knows, the fire extinguisher that I had on board didnt do much, all that I know is I didnt have much time to get out

I liked the look. Very interesting and a well done conversion. Sorry for your loss but glad that you were not harmed.

No its not covered, we have 3 types of cover,

3rd party fire and theft

Where it was on a traders policy they will only cover your own cars 3rd party only

Sorry for your loss. You had one of the few on the forum. I really only know of one other but there could be others out there too. What will you get to replace it?

Oh man. This sucks. I'm really sorry this happened to you. I think I will put full coverage on my car.... today.
Glad you got out OK and, again, sorry this occurred.

Sorry for your misfortune, that really sucks. Did you do the conversion or buy it that way? The good news is that with the price of early C4s you can do it again if you want for not too awfully much. Maybe if you find a fixer-upper some forum members would donate some parts. Good luck with whatever you do.
