Possible to beat car specification?

Makes it easier for the car to be insured.

That makes sense from group 10 or so upward. Whats this though? gp 3, 4 maybe?

It actually makes more sense for the lower insurance groups. When you go upwards of around group 10, people are less likely to be heavily concerned about the insurance. I mean, the guy with the Alfa GTV won't care if it's ABI group 17 or 19, but the mother with two children might feel more inclined to have a Citroen C2 if it's an ABI group 3 instead of 6.

I've never seen a 1.1 have 75bhp. Parkers says 60, which sounds more likely. My Fiesta 1.25 had 73bhp.
