3k is nothing lol
i had a quote from elephant some years ago for a mk5 escort cabriolet 105bhp xr3i....
came back as £8500
ended up going with flux for £1600 lol
had i known it was a group 16 car at the time i would have got a scooby lol
ok i did have 2 fault claims, 1 non fault claim and a speeding ban to contend with, so i think the £8500 was just a 'please dont try and be insured with us'
