Cheers, but they will only insure the car on a classic policy as a second car, won't take my ncb into consideration and I wont earn any either - £390 TPFTmagpie wrote:Pete Best <<< give them a try my 318is [m42] was £180 a yr f/c .
Hmm. What year was the touring out of curiosity?andyp wrote:this is strange as we had the same problem with a 318touring a few years ago, it was more than the 318is to insure, its mad how they get the prices
Strange. I used to insure my Minor Traveller on a separate classic car policy, and my Minor twin-cam saloon with Adrian Flux (because it is fairly highly modified), but then the classic policy demanded you have a daily use car, so this year I put both cars on the Adrian Flux policy, for £150 fully comp, agreed value with mods declared.Cook318IS wrote:Adrian flux never quote me good. My last quote i got for a car i was going to buy was £2500 - they thought it was a good deal (double what my best quote was). Anyway back on topic, Graham Sykes are a broker in Exmouth if thats any help?
Flux used to be good for me until they partnered with HIC, then quotes on standard cars went through the roof - modified cars were still good though.Speedtouch wrote:Strange.

for TPO with a limited 1500 mile limit I complained a bit and got £210 cashback making it £190 TPFT including DOC cover!
Yup, the quotes above were the cheapest - I always ask for quotes on both TPFT and FC as have found FC to be cheaper sometimes as well.iDreamBeemer wrote:Did you try asking FC on the touring? I have found bizarrely that TPFT can be more expensive than quoting FC!
the 318is is the same to insure as a 318i m40jmc330i wrote: One reason I found for the high quotes is down to the car - 1993 318i lux touring. I got a quote on my 'spares' touring, a 1990 318i (not a lux) and the quotes were much cheaper, the cheapest being £145 FC! But interestingly (or not) the quotes were higher with the engine conversion on the non lux touring.
That's what I thought, but not the 318i lux it seemsmagpie wrote: the 318is is the same to insure as a 318i m40
And they ain't exactly stacked with options.

Feel free to get in touch when you are up for insurance renewal.G-Bear wrote:I put my girlfriend on my insurance and it knocked £100's off last time. Mentioned it to a mate he says he put his girlfriend and Mum on his insurance to get it lower.
I'm 31, 12 odd years NCB and still can't seem to get much below £500.
