Depends on your age and NCB.

I have always used HIC for my cosworths.

no one will insure, what the fuck is going on?

I could insure my 400bhp saph easily 3-4 yrs ago, why has it suddenly become such a fucking pain in the arse!

Granted i dont have no claims due to classic car policy's, but never made a claim and no conviction, why is it such a fuck bag

I paid £737 last november to insure a 1.2 clio.

so £720 for a modded cossie is ok i think. esp as you dont have any ncbs

maybe im expecting to much then, but my saph was only 720 3 yrs ago.

all the mods are declared on mine aswell, i guess 730 is a good quote then?

but mine is limited mileage i.e 4k but then again the car value is 12k so again

is that a good quote then?

reason for NCB is Classic car policy's or always being on someone elses policy, i.e mrs or old dears

Im sorry but its just funny as you were the only person to say it was overpriced Look at some of the others that are nearly as good as mine, they want the same kind of money. Mint condition, full history, low miles, demand good money FACT

Honestly tho, 12k

Bitter, my god Ryan, the car sold itself at National Day

who says its an escort?

and there are always people out there with more money than sense, and im not one of them, thats all.

just because you paid way over the odds, dont expect everyone else to.

Anyway im more than happy with my purchase.


Paul, yeah i hope so mate, they seemed very helpful.


chops, all will be revealed soon enough

Hi Ryan,

Just to let you know - I do still come on here, been here for about 4 years now. Overall a good forum with plenty of banter & a good bunch on here.

Unless i'm away on hols or have a particularly mad schedule I usually check the forum most days to see if anyone needs a hand.

After the recent update though, searching using "greenlight" or "insurance" (which used to give a decent list of either people in need or people we'd spoken with previously) seemed to draw a blank - which made it harder to home in on people in need without trawling all forums.

Anyway, back to your own requirement - whilst often very cheap, classic policies arent usually aimed at modified cars and dont earn NCB, which effectively means that when the classic Insurer reviews or changes their stance on either modded classics or the specific car you drive, you then find yourself looking for cover without NCB.

We did provide a rate that looked really competitive, bearing in mind there is only 1 years NCB and this is a proper everyday policy that includes like-for-like mods replacement, optional per event track cover, courtesy cars for repairs & guaranteed hire cars for total loss claims.

Unfortunately I was busy working on scheme development with our Insurance Software house when you called, but my colleague did refer your details to me to review what we had done for you.

Having assessed this, until you gain further NCB this will be the best we can do.

Kind regards

Tony

hi tony, yeah i did try the search function but to no avail.

At the moment HIC is the cheapest, and offered alot with there policy including a like for like scheme.


Like you've said being on classic policy's before hasnt allowed me no claims, and the ones i had were lost as i havent had becuase i havent used them in nearly 3 yrs, being insured on the mrs golf.

Is there no way to confrim with my previous insurers that i've never made a claim? as it seems silly that a peice of paper that says i havent had a claim and the fact i havent had a claim are so different

Cheers

Ryan
