hi, my mate is thinking of buying an rs turbo cab that has come up cheap, does anyone know what companies are good with rs turbos? hes 18 with 3 points cars garaged etc.. not driven much, and 1 years no claims ?
is footman james any good, or need2 insure? could anyone please help, thanks

 

im with footman james an they have informed me that when my policy runs out they will no longer insure it as a classic as its too modified with the turbo conversion but will happily insure it as a modifeid car for over £800 thats quite a jump from £122, i doubt he will get insured for under 2k at that age unless he still claims it to be a 3i

 

mines with flux as a 2nd car, but I'm 31 so prices will vary

 

i told him footman james, told him to give them a call,,as iv seen a lot of people in here paying 100 to 500 pounds. and cant u get in trouble keeping it registered as a 3i not as a turbo converted escort ? someone stabbed at me on here when i asked about something similar a while back, and told me its like fraud 800 pound is a good price tho to be fair, £122 is better though

 

well technically it is an xr3i an yes in will make your insurance invalid should u not tell them its got a engine modification if somethin were to happen so its not advisable, and no 800 dont seem like much but when u consider im 29 trs old, never had an accident and lisense for 11 yrs an i do 3k max a year in it i think its a fookin liberty

 

and is that an old slingshot in your avatar?

 

I've just moved to "need 2 insure". 25years old, 3 points, 4 years NCB all mods declared up to 170bhp - £500, compared to the £870 renewal my old company wanted that's a great price.

 

i dont know what a slingshot is, unless you mean the thing bart simpson has lol, crosser is a rm250 i edited in paint lol

 

looks like an old rm250 slingshot lol think they were about an 88/89

 

i dont know mate, i just googled rm250 1987, but google is getting lame these days lol

 

im with footman james,me & the missus on the rs turbo,£240 fully comp & thats without ncb as that on the other car
canna beet a good price
try boncaster aswel,ive heard they are good.
