rimfire4969 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 As my 1965 Sunbeam Alpine nears the end if it's nut and bolt up restoration I am thinking that I would hate to lose it. I have heard a bit about car trackers. As with most things that I don't have a clue about I turn to you lot, does anyone have any experience of them and cost. Any help great appreciated.

steve_b_wales Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 There was one mentioned on here some time ago, that you could fit yourself, and could disable the engine etc via a mobile phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think that system was an 'obd' port system ( bit like a scart socket) but I doubt a classic car would have one.... Would have to be a hard wired unit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks for the info, my insurance company were not a great help and would like me to pay about £500 for one to save about £10 on the insurance, I am only paying about £80 a year anyway. It's more for my piece of mind. Not that I expect the car will be left on its own for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 You could use an old android phone as a tracker. There are plenty of GPS tracker apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
