What company would you recommend to get a quote from cheers mike

I just went on the comparison sites mate

Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:55 am

most companies on comparison sites won't cover modifications, Adrian Flux will just about inssure anyone on anything, mods included but it can cost a bit.

my first modified turbo insurance was about £1500 iirc, i was 30 with a clean licence and that was over 10 years ago...
as a side issue adrian flux are w4nkers.

I'd second that. I 've a E30 vert with twin turbo's and Sky are by far the cheapest. I now have 2 of my cars with them and in the new year when the insurance on my E36 vert runs out i will transfer it there as well

im with hic, allways used them

brentacare where good with the polo

1.8t conversion 300bhp limi

1200 fully comp

i was 22 with 2 years no claims

I'm with Adrian flux.. My TVR powered sierra was only £650 bucks with all mods listed..

Might try Sky when it's up for renewal next month though

a tvr powered sierra? are you on passionford?

Mon Sep 12, 2011 1:51 pm

remember that sky insurance will only cover you in certain conditions, i have protected no claims but since i had a couple of accidents (basically 2 in 5 years) they would not even quote me despite my protected no claims currently at 7 or 8 years, 30 yrs old and its only a 316i M10 2dr.

I can get insurance from a comparison site, full business use including my high mileage for just over £300.00 anyway which is not bad at all.

sky gave me the cheapest quote on my x5 , fully comp... but i had to turn it down as they dont cover you to drive other cars

Mon Sep 12, 2011 2:50 pm

my 316i, full business use and 17k a year is just over £300.00 which i didn't think was that bad, even for a mainstream insurer on a comparison site.

Not looked too much deaper yet as the car is in storage being worked on getting ready for the MOT and the road (been off the road rotting for the last 5 years, nearly 6 now)

We do provide this cover but like most insurers it is usually reserved for over 25 years olds who do not work in connection with the motortrade.

Try footman james and insure it as a modified classic. My m50 touring, with coilovers, banded steels,bucket seat etc etc every concievable mod listed is £370. (27 , 6years no claims and no points).
