Motorsport Cab insurance, why so bad?

[chu346]

I'm 25 with 6yrsNCD no convictions, car is a 1991 325i motorsport convertible, £770 fully comp protected.

Just seems quite high

What would you guys consider reasonable?

[fowler]

because they are group 18 insurance now have decleared all the mods plus they are getting very rare especially as yours is a manual

[chu346]

what mods, wheels (nogaro genuine alpinas), everything else is standard.

Also it's down as an auto.

[fowler]

thought it was manual
my mate is paying £670 on his
try classic policy with 12000 mile limit
they have gone up 1 insurance group in 2 years for no reason apart from they are getting rare

Get it on classic insurance with limited miles. Mines £260.

It is a manual now but down as a auto at the minute, i mite change it back!

I can't do limited miles, i love driving too much.

Motorsport cabs are very high risk ,over 50% of cars i know or have worked on have stories/ issues/ or been involved in a claim, some one has to pay for this wrongness.
Basically the long and short of it is that they attract a lower class of keeper who is generally a bit wrong !

What's the difference between manual and auto insurance?.

My age and NCB are the same as yours, and I'm paying £430 on an E30 M3, no mileage limit (though I hardly use it!) does seem very high to me!

I'm with flux by the way.

which insurance company u wid Chu? I'd get another quote I was gonna suggest TPFT but depends on value of ur car though. I did mine TPFT as I dont drive it regularly enough plus it aint a motorsport. Maybe its because they are a rarer model.
