milesofsmiles Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 So far, after a days worth of phone calls... my car is too new, or its too expensive, or it's to tuned, or its too big a requested annual mileage..... - "It's not 10 years old yet and we only insure that on a classic policy" - "We don't insure that type of car over 5k miles" - normally its only 3k" (because why would you want to do more than 5k in a gorgeous Lotus) - "Driveway is a NO. Garage only for us to look at you" -etc...etc....etc.... I'm pulling my hair out... It a used Lotus Elise... Not a £3million Bugatti! I've tried - Reis, Henderson Taylor, Classic Line, Manning, Footman James, AIB... I was hoping to have track day cover in the policy, hence the co's above. Does anyone have any suggestions? cheers!

philcool Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Well no track day cover. But 5k miles a year garaged overnight Non standard exhaust declared Fully com .protected NCB 9 years .legal cover Exige S240 Location Inner London £267 L.V Have noticed that some policy don't cover windscreens now so watch out for that Was over £400 with AIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo73 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Have you tried Adrian Flux? They insure plenty of modified cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV insured my 2018 Evora 410 Sport in March this year for a very respectable, I thought, £300. Well less than half what the "classic" insurers wanted and as I don't track it I was happy enough. My 20 year old VX, was insured by the "classic" insurers and I do track it, and it is heavily modified, and that cost me £360! One is worth over £60k, the other is worth around £12k. I'll never work out insurance lol.... Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM windymiller Posted June 1, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 its weird i dunno if the girl just messed up in not quoting me, she said she found a sports racer on the system then checked with others and came back and said cannot quote or maybe they take x amount on there books of cetain types or risk of cars then close the books for a while ?

chipp Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Along with some you have alredy mentioned, I have used One Answer (1answer.co.uk) a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM TdM Posted June 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 It is interesting, all of the specialists and brokers give me sky high quotes, the 'big names' are cheaper for me and LV is the cheapest this year. I think they just flip a coin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesofsmiles Posted June 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thanks for the input guys.... I went with a quote that was very different to every other one. Most simply wouldn't insure over 5k miles! If I was cynical I'd say insurers want only to insure people who park their car in a garage. Not people who want to drive! So, 10k miles 5 track days and the usual legal, windscreen, etc... £722 with A Plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
