Elephant?
Me and brother have been with them for years, no one can touch them, both had sporty cars - calibra turbo, M3, and Evo TME, with old dear as named driver good prices.

Piss me off at renewal - went from £500 to £680 this year, same details £480 this year, try it on every year, want to check as they seem to try it on, got to watch for it.

Put details through computer as another name or something, see what it spits out.
As I say mine came back £200 less than they said, phoned up, and he went off to check.
Apparently I was lucky and could have it at price I received, what a cunt....

Try it, and if not got old dear as named driver try that too, even pushing 30 I add her and save nicely; she only drove it once, flashed by gatso and ripped gearknob off, so obviously a lower risk

"Elephant?
Me and brother have been with them for years"

Ive been with Elephant for 5 years odd. Now Im with another company as they wanted £800 to insure a 2wd Sierra Cos TPFT! Im 27 with 5yrs No claims ON TWO CARS. My Escort Cos was £600 Fully Comp.

Each year Elephant seems to go up in price. Changed to a company that does me Sapphire Cos for £580 Fully Comp.

£797.70 Comprehensive Dom, 1 Years NCB, no accidents, 1 SP30, not bad for a 24yr old with barely any bonus (had been a named driver for years).

I'd have done it at work but we don't specialise in modified cars etc, the above premium was with EVERY mod declared too, EVERY mod

They want £900 odd for a cosworth, my M3 is just under £500, so will have to go elsewhere if I change.
Greenlight wanted circa £500, sounds good to me.
Or Footman James £350 but need a garage
