Default What insurance company do you use for cossie?

Me and the mrs have been looking at quote for the cossie and just wondering where everyone gets their cover from. the cheapest quote we've had is 644 which is only 40quid cheaper than we're paying at the mo (through adrian flux) and thats with an extra years no claims on.

I'm 30 and the mrs is 24 so i know some places wont insure her but i want her on the policy.

Any help appreciated!!

Althou for the first time ever i had to declare my milage to them for the policy to go ahead

Once the cossies on the road will use them to get me a classic policy too

There is a lot of cheap quotes here but is this wiv people telling what mods are done to car or are they all standard? lol

Now i had series2 before the cossie and was paying Ł300 fully comp. When i went to insure the cossie wiv the same company they would not touch me and was getting ridicilous quotes for Ł1500 bearing in mind this is with 10 years no claims and cheapest quote i got was Ł875 tpft

How many miles do you realistically do?! my quote 2yrs ago was Ł400 FC declared but on a classic policy with 5k i think miles a year. and that was with every single mod on it declared!!

Didnt take it out thou and the cars still off the road
