Is it just me or have other Cosworth owners noticed a big increase in the cost of their insurance this year?
I have been insuring my Sapphire 2wd with Adrian Flux for the past 16 years claim free and this year they say it will cost £869 for comprehensive cover!!
This to me seems a lot, who are other owners using for their cover? I have an agreed value on mine and declare all the many modifications I have done to my car. I am a mature driver not an 18 year old.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Cheers Richard from Southampton.

Try a classic car policy, I got a quote for a Sierra Cosworth in London for less than £250 a month or two ago. And that's with no no-claims bonus as they can't be used on a classic policy.

The better classic polices allow a fair amount of modifications, too, as long as they aren't monster power etc...

I think its just insurance in general on the rise.
I've been with need2insure for 4 years, but they ramped up my renewel by over £150 this year!?! The only thing thats changed is I have another years no claims.

I was comparing various quotes that I had been given over the last two years and they had all gone up by a minimum of £100 this time round.

How old are you?!

As said go with classic unless you use I daily.
Peter D James quoted me £280 fully comp all mods declared with unlimited mileage by they only take 1 off payments not installments.
I rang flux and it was only £230 and they take installments with all mods declared limited to 3k!!

I'm 34 now though which probably helps lol

Try Heritage - I pay £120 per year on limited mileage (3000)

£21K Sapphire? Why was it valued so high?

cossynut2

In reality to buy and then modify another Sapphire up to the same standard as mine would probably cost more than £21k! If your car gets stolen, written off or burnt out work out what it will cost to get another one !

Hi,
Over the last 12 months I haven't noticed premiums for Cosworths increasing to be honest. If you would like to PM me your details I'd be happy to take a look at your details to see if there is any I can do.
Regards,
Dan.

My car is the same, I just never thought they'd agree a value taking mods etc into account.
