This company seem super competitive as a week before I had an I identical issue on a 5L BMW and got the same kind of deal.
You are very tolerant, considering your insurers have more than tripled your premium
Mine has not tripled its gone up £70, it was £184 now £254You are very tolerant, considering your insurers have more than tripled your premium
My RRC renewal is due mid August .. hope I get a better deal than that or there will be some choice comments.
Hi All,Sorry, misread your post as increasing to £254 from £70 !
Another senior moment
Yeh footman James came out good, if it was much more I couldn’t justify the cost as a spare vehicle. Strangely the quote was less if parked on drive at home instead of on a farm lockup in a secure building!
My 1993 90 has been on a classic policy for over 2 years now.
They all do the normal risk factors. Then they have their own to add on. Stuff they have detected from their records of claims like chav performance cars more likely to crash. Refusing certain people or vehicles as too high risk. You then have to consider what they offer for the money. Headlines info is great but they may automatically write yer car oft in a crash. Or not want the hassel of fighting your side in a claim, leaving you at failt. Or dun't have the back office to give good customer service. Or reduce the amount of repair they would normally carry out as the cars not in good condition.What I can never understand is that these quotes all come from brokers, not insurers .. so why the huge disparity in prices
The client's details, representing either a good or bad risk, remains the same & there are only so many insurance companies out there. Is it that some insurers are more anal about defining a particular risk factor, whereas others may be more accommodating?
My first car I purchased for £10 in 1959 before I was old enough to have a car licence. When I got my provisional licence, insurance cost me £15 third party only. The car was a 1936 DX Vauxhall with a six cylinder engine. Amazing how the politicians have managed to devalue money in my lifetime.My daughter who has just passed her test, first car vauxhall corsa 2018 ,4.5k for insurance, she's 21 in the forces since 18.
My first car back in 1980 was an Austin 1100 and insurance was £105 for an 18 year old, week and a half's wages then. That was third party only though no fire and theft, the bugger set itself on fire a month later, a series of unfortunate occurrences of which were all my own fault. Even the tax disc went up(fire started in the drivers footwell and set me flares alight so I was pre occupied putting myself out to think of rescuing the tax disc!)
Big fire, even the seals in the engine melted and the sump oil kept the blaze going well.
Just reminiscing....
