Crikes what a nightmare trying to get insurance at the moment.

There seems to be no-one out there hardly.

The main player Norwich Union has jacked up premiums by a ridiculous level, making them uncompetitive against AXA - so before you bother ask if NU is the underwriter - then put the phone down.

I got a quote from Privelge last year for £1300 - this year £2350, with an excess of £850 - dream on - and that for a standard quote - and I've full no claims and never had an accident!

I'm trying to insure a highly modded sti5 - circa 360hp - best quote so far about £2250 from A Plan. the quote was low until I mentioned about £15k of mods - nevermind!

Can anyone tell me if theres anyone who specialises in insurance for imports that are also modded

I've tried

Keith Michaels - wont quote
Adrian Flux - can never get through - have tried for a week now
Greenlight - not competitive
A Plan - best so far - but no track day cover!
Privelge - crap
Barclays - no good as dont cover you to drive other cars third party - which is desirable
Bennets Elite
NFU Mutual - only quote to existing customers with imported cars - i.e. no new import business

Any suggestions?

Ian Sutton

Keep ringing Adrian Flux .

How about Footman James 0121 561 4196 and OPI Brokers 0870 242 0800 ?

Thanks

What? I'm insured with Barclays, and am sitting at work with a borrowed car outside - if you're right, Ill be driving home without insurance tonight (just like I have for the last week). Oops, I'd better check.

PS - 15k of mods - £1300 must have been a bargain - let us know who's the best for you.

So did the £15k include the drogue chute?

Paul
ps tell 'em what good brakes you've got . . . that'll help the premium!

Milky

Nah, the premium increase was because of the £10k Airbrake he had fitted !!!
Sourced it from a Harrier :-)

Either that or the McLaren F1 brakes he had fitted after his fly past (Harrier ???) at Nont Sar's (North West Meet 2).

Then again Steve, it could be the darts match style driving licence you've got, haven't you got more points than Eric Bristow and more bans than Jim Davidson ???

Steve,

I'm surprised Keith Michaels wouldn't quote.
Try calling Christian directly at KM on 020 8288 0677.

Are you two in business as a comedy act!
I'll have you know that I've only had to replace the license once! - cos of insufficent room in the conviction section!

Braking will be better very soon as the AP 4 pots are going on - I was going to get 17ich Supers and put the 6 pots on - but I decided to keep the'cosmetic mods to a minimum'

GavinP - I'll try them - but they were very high last year!

Trigaar - they do not do cover for third party cover - for anyone - thats what they told me this year, and thats what they said last year - 'for all'(Barclays use Privelege) - I would have used them last year if it was not for this as they were the cheapest - with a £100 excess - I'd recheck immediately!

Tim, Highway - who Keith M uses cant do it! - something about multiple bans! and no chance.

I'll keep trying - just trying to get under £2k - A Plan will do it for less on restriced mileage - its worth doing this for me as the excess is only £250 higher if you exceed the mileage - then again the excess was £500 unmodded and £1000 for the modded car!

I'm testing the car out tomorrow on the French roads - yipeeeeeee.
