i was just saying,, as everyone thinks it easy to get a traders policy, then drive all these cars,,, but the problem comes when you come to make a claim and they terminate your policy

if you want to insure cosworths on it,,, get ready for a big bill

I got a quote from Tradex and at Ł1900 inc all the workshop cover i thought that seamed pretty good.

Got another name to try here Unicom thats who one of my mates uses and he pays around Ł400 to cover him on his fleet of cars.

you wont get cover other than basic road risks for a Cosworth on a trade policy, this has always been the case, so if it gets nicked you get nothing I've had motor trade cover since 1991 and I've never known Cosworths to be fully covered.

Also any modifications will mean you are not covered.

I would seriously doubt whether any trade policy would pay out on a Cosworth if you made a claim.

My broker is Cliftonside Insurance in Bristol try them.
They offer MMA, Tradewise plus another. Tradex are crap I used to use them and now would not even bother asking them for a quote if you want decent cover.
