Starting at the tender age of seven, this was the first car Andy ever built from the ground up with the help of his dad – legendary hot rod and custom car builder, Mario Colalillo. Dubbed his “forever car”, see what makes this Ford Roadster one in a million.
Having Mario Colalillo for a father meant that Andy had no choice when it came to cars, they were always going to be a big part of his life! Mario built Andy his first car (a 1934 Ford Roadster billy cart) when he was born, and when Andy was a little older they attended a few car shows with it. As a result of being exposed to the car scene from such a young age, it was always going to be a natural progression for Andy to build the next size up.
The passion Andy has for hotrods and custom cars was passed down from his father, and something he hopes to pass onto his children. Given the fact that Andy’s already started building a 1934 Ford Roadster kiddy car for his unborn child, it looks like they won’t have much of a choice in the matter either!
Building a car from scratch taught Andy the reward of patience and perseverance, as well as the value of time and money. When Andy was seven his father started teaching him how to make parts for the hotrod, slowly he built up his knowledge and skills. The Roadster took 12 years to finish with the experience leaving an imprint on Andy, making him the man he is today. For Andy the Roadster is more than just a car, it’s precious memories of time spent with his dad, it’s his childhood, it’s his first creation and it’s his Sunday Driver.

You’ve got questions. Fire away, we love talking about all kinds of vehicles. But first these are questions we get all the time. For more information, please refer to our PDS.
We know you trust the people you let drive your vehicles. That’s why our Declared Driver policy only covers the approved people who’ll get behind the wheel. It gives you a greater peace of mind and a better price.
Enthusiasts make everything better. So we make sure modified vehicles still get the coverage they deserve. To be covered, simply disclose all the modifications you’ve made. If they meet Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and/or the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules (AVSR) of your State or Territory of Australia, then we’re all good!
If it’s a total loss, and it’s that precious to you, you don’t have to lose everything. If it’s over 30 years old, salvage rights are automatically included in your policy. If your vehicle is 15 years old or more, the choice is yours – salvage rights are optional. Check out the exact details in the Policy Disclosure Statement.
Real people, real Australian’s, real motor enthusiasts. They can handle any issues or claims claims via phone or email. They’re on-call Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm AEST. Or if you’re into DIY, download a claims form from our website and off you go.
