Damn... I thought the 'phone approach would work. If you persist with some insurers you can get the call centre staff to refer unlisted vehicles to an underwriter - especially if you are able to give them a comparable model that they do insure, and explain the main differences. Whether or not it will work with Privilege I don't know. But might be worth a quick call?
Otherwise, try Keith Michaels [0870 845 3333], Osbourne & Sons 020 8388 6000, Schofield Insurance 0113 250 0377 - they're all brokers that seem to know their Scoobs.
Final idea - ring someone like Litchfield Imports and see if they can suggest anyone.

tuscan57 26 November 2004, 13:36 but then again there might not be :(
Nevetas 26 November 2004, 13:41 Ian L reply to an email! You'll be lucky! ;)
tuscan57 26 November 2004, 14:24 Ian L reply to an email! You'll be lucky! ;)
not mr litchfield that why he not replied :p
XRS 26 November 2004, 17:50 Thinking of a Spec C Ltd, so I put my details into Priviledge. Of course it wasn't there, so having put the effort in I got it to quote for a WR1 instead.
£402.15! :D
Age has its compensations!
XRS 26 November 2004, 20:55 Now heard from my current insurers about the Spec C Ltd - an extra £146 to take me to November 2005.
Result!
Endsleigh by the way. Do I look like a student? ;)
tuscan57 26 November 2004, 20:58 oh have you got a contact for them???
AndyC_772 26 November 2004, 21:14 I'm with A-plan under their grey import scheme: www.greyimportinsurance.co.uk
They should definitely know about the Spec C - failing that, Iain Litchfield definitely does have a list, but he responds much better to phone calls than emails in my experience.
tuscan57 26 November 2004, 21:19 a-plan should be calling me in the morning and yep so i have found about mr litchfield.... ring his mobly most of the time :D:D
chrome 26 November 2004, 21:40 try *Rum (Tom) @ Subaru assured..

XRS 26 November 2004, 21:50 tuscan57,
They are on 01273 622422, but when I have referred people to them before they haven't been able to do anything for them.
Good luck!

TonyBurns 28 November 2004, 11:30 They wont touch anything thats not UK (subaru assured that is, which i find is a bit pathetic as they use to without problems) plus you will need added security if you dont have a garage :rolleyes: which is also a bit pathetic, especially if you live in the middle of nowhere.....

RB5201 28 November 2004, 11:38 A plan seemed to know their stuff, got mine insured with mods declared, exhaust, filter, wheels etc for £538 :) Spoke to a lady called Helen who was very helpful :)
