Unbefreakinglievable - insurance
I've had 'fun' getting insurance - I do wonder if some of the problem is the lack of no-claims (it's currently being used on on my SLK55) but given that most companies are putting me on one of their 'schemes' it shouldn't be an issue (in truth I suspect their 'scheme' is one to separate me from as much money as possible).
I am, in all honesty, staggered at the prices - my F150 Lightnings were insured at £300ish (as indeed was the S197 Mustang). To now be getting quotes of £500ish is a shock, I do think that the other thing that could be an issue is that my LHD experience isn't quite as recent as they'd like (last drove LHD 18/24 months ago). OK it is slightly modded (long tube headers, Borla system, CAI and a hypertech tuning box) but nothing too outrageous. That being said I should be a perfect fit for them being 53, no points, no adverse issues etc etc so with all that in mind what was the most 'interesting' quote? drum roll...... 'nother drum roll..... £11,000 - not that isn't a misplaced decimal point that is an actual, honest to God quote for £11k... ELEVEN FREAKING GRAND!!! I did have a chuckle at that one |

£500 is cheap :-)
Consider their risks. Mine started out at £1350 for the Camaro V6 ... now it's <£500 some years later √ |

£475 Adrian Flux. Was £300 ish with Admiral on a multi car policy but they won't insure with the blower fitted.

Got my 15 Camaro and 94 Trans Am with Brentacre, less than £500 the 2, but I am getting on a bit.

Ended up as £470 - I guess one thing I didn't think of was the value of the car.
Oh well - first drive (other than test drive) tonight!! |

Brentacre were the most realistic for me, happy with all the mods, unlimited miles and agreed value of 25k which they just renewed after 2 years to 25k again.
Think premiums are higher than in the past due to power? My 1984 Trans Am V8 only managed 150bhp, and we now have 400 plus |
