Default Insurance (I'm sure you've heard it all before!)

Hi,

I've just joined this forum. and have had a good rumage around - very impressive indeed. I am in the process of buying a Sierra RS Cosworth, and need to get it insured. Ideally, I want to run my LX Sierra (general run about and hack vehicle) as the main car, and the Cosworth as a limited milage second car. Anyone got any references or ideas - I would be very thankful of any help. I am 33, for what it's worth. Thanks

Welcome

You could try HIC, Greenlight (see sticky), Dominion(?), Adrian Flux etc
You might find you can get quite reasonable quotes from mainstream insures like elephant, churchill, tesco's and such. Given your age I'd say it'll be dirt cheap compared to mine

I have my Pug 205 shitter insured with HIC on a normal policy, and they did a cracking quote for my RST on a classic, 2nd car, limited miles policy, well worth giing them a ring
