There are loads of insurance threads if you search. I'm with Greenlight on 01277 263 030.

Power Engineering in Uxbridge are good for servicing.

I currently drive a 94 WRX and use BELL DIRECT, they were the cheapest insurance co. that i could find and their customer service is superb!

Although Greenlight and Adrain Flux were better than most (by about £600!) I eventually found Admiral to be the best;
31 years, Full NCB, STi4: £725 Full Comp with protected bonus.

Question

Which insurance companies actually underwrite the bussiness?
The few quotes I have requested seem to go back to Norwich Union. Are there others who like STI's?

Thumbs up

All

Some of us have used NFU Mutual (National Farmers Union) very successfully but there have been reports of them getting choosy!
Having said that I insured my STi5 with them no probs (£695 with 2 years NCD)
