internets Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I know this is a well trodden path but my renewal has come in for my Cup 250 and is nearly £670 which is more than my Evora 400 last year and over £100 more than I used to pay for my old V6 Exige so was wondering what people pay and if the Elise costs more to insure in general than the Evora/Exige? kind of assumed / hoped with a smaller, cheaper and less powerful car the insurance might go down a little, but maybe the Elise is a higher risk I am with Clasicline and to be fair they have always been good to deal with and In my limited claims experience had no issues but wondering who else I should consider? Never been impressed with my contact over the years (not just on price but in general) with AIB, plus they no longer offer track days so assume CCI, Henderson Taylor and Chris Knott? Anyone else worth getting a quote from as a comparison before going back to classicline?

Bazza 907 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Chris, motor insurance rates are going up across the board for a number of reasons including Brexit (I know I know), Personal injury costs, latest regulator view on fait play between new and existing customers, lower investment returns etc etc etc. Obviously worth checking around though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internets Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks Barrie, Indeed that old chestnut but I was assuming it would go down even slightly as a smaller car / less power but I guess not. As always no time and renewal fast approaching lol Quote 1982 DeLorean DMC 12 #16327, 1999 Lotus Elise, 1998 Lotus Esprit GT3 #2272, 2011 Lotus Evora S, 2013 Lotus Exige S,2016 Lotus Evora 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internets Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well as a follow up for anyone interested, if anyone but guess not, I phoned around and was quoted anywhere from £770 up to £1,677! A big up to Matthew @ Henderson Taylor (0161 437 7442) who sent me quote within minutes of sending the online quote request form! They include 5 UK and EU track days, agreed value £500xs and came out at £772 so all in all not bad so would recommended them. Tried Chris Knott but was more, they did offer to try with a specialist underwriter but they cant offer track days so decided no point CCI have vanished, the web link didn't work for me , and think they have been absorbed into Footman James. Their quote was £1,667 with 6k miles and 3 (i think) track days. They did offer to try their classic specialist insurance but I would have to join club lotus and my car was too new unsurprisingly. So anyway went back to Classic Line feeling I had the best deal but upon questioning them and the increase they run it thought their quoting system again and it came back with just under £550!!!

pete Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Excellent result in the end but why not quote that in the first place Quote hindsight: the science that is never wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
