Ive been looking at a mk6 escort which started life as a 1.6 finesse, its now got a GTi kit and a 2.0 dropped in with some RS2000 bits and bobs like brakes etc.
He says its still down as a 1.6 on the logbook so could i tell the insurance company its a 1.6 as per the logbook or would the insurance be void if the worst happened?
If i do have to tell them then id have to reel off a huge list of parts over the phone i guess

 

Your policy would be void if you diddnt declare an engine conversion in the even of a claim, your best off being 100% honest when it comes down to insurnace.

 

Yeah thought so, if i do get the car ill just have to tell them everything.

 

try rinigng greenliht insurance, theyre really good with us lot and understand the modifications properly

 

cheers mate

 

i had a rs turbo orion was a 1.6 ghia on log book and was cheaper to insure it as a rs turbo conversion rather than just whats on the log book

 

Some insurers will load for a modded car, some won't insure at all.
I have in the past tried to insure a mondeo that I put a recon engine(I did) in, they said modified straight away, even though it was 100% std apart from 0.5mm oversize, and wanted to load 60%, that was Privelege, spoke to(one of) thier underwriter lady and she said treat as normal.

just rang my currant insurer, adrian flux, i told them EVERYTHING, she told me to wait and it was at least 4mins waiting, then she told me the premium for the year would be the same as im paying now
