You'll find we have a number of full members who, for whatever reason are not currently Viva owners & we certainly don't insist on ownership as a membership criteria.
Membership is particularly useful if intending purchasing a car as there are parts, services & particularly cars that are offered exclusively to members at a discounted price. Due to the rarity of the cars there is also likely to be some history in the database about future purchases with a lot of the eBay/classiccarweekly/carandclassic/etc cars already known to the club. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) this information is only available to full members.
Finally, I'm not just being harsh but there are a few raw wounds around here following a recent instance where a certain individual took advantage of the club's generosity to basically make a tidy profit. We're not always a miserable bunch of sods.....
