My insurance with MCE ends 10th Jan, and although I probably wont have a replacement E30 by then, I was wondering if there was an specialist insurers I should try for when I do?
Obviously price is a major factor, but after going with MCE I'd much rather pay a bit more and get gauranteed customer service. And European cover is pretty important too.
So, anyone come recommended by the zone??

Happened to me, many times with various companies!!Not MORETHAN then!
I tried to swap my 325ix onto the policy i have running with them and they said no as its LHD!
They insured it for me before, t*****s!
Very good for mods and you get to talk to a human in England very quickly !!!turbo-tastic wrote:Sorry, should have said they need fairly modification friendly

I have been with them for five years and had my only claim dealt with very efficiently and fairly.
They may be a little more expensive than some but their service is first class.

HIC are very good, try A-Plan also
also worth trying sky insurance www.skyinsurance.co.uk very good service and your quote is very well individually tailored rather than just chucking your details into a computer.

My jaw hit the floor when I got my latest insurance quote from them - fully £100 cheaper for fully comp than any other insurer!
Granted thats as a second car with limited milage and no NCB, but I'm still getting over how cheap they are!
Used to be with Churchill who provide excellent cheap cover though they can be reluctant to insure under 30's for higher performance cars unless you've been with them a while.

My classic policy is with Chaucer through HIC and they have been fine to deal with. When I wanted a top tint windscreen they were nice and easy to deal with and sorted it out at no extra cost. I've been with them a few years now and have found them to be among the cheapest. The agreed value is maybe a useful thing.Andyboy wrote:Need To Insure (01623 720081. Brilliant customer service, will find you the best deal. Go with Chaucer Insurance on an agreed value fully comp classic policy.

Definately good for your age but the others mentioned are only any good if around the £200 mark imho.........maxfield wrote:Quinn direct aren't bad.
£800 TPF&T under Dad's name with no NCB. Not too bad for 17 year old, eh?
Just ended up deciding to go with elephant - 325i touring - not sure how the service will work out though? £230 fully comp, No mods, 6000 miles per annum.
I quoted for Spadge's Alpina c25 a couple of weeks ago £300 fully comp. I am 34. This is my first car to insure.
Again, I have not tested them at all on anything except price. My brother in law has been with them for six years and has had only good things to say.
Saved a packet moving from Admiral (£125) - (Strange as they are the same company)
