I think it would be good to get a list going of who is with which insurance company for their VR4. We could use this info to negotiate a better discount scheme with one or two companies to add yet another benefit for fully paid up members. If we have a discount scheme in place then we can get them to email us to confirm the applicant is a full member.

So, please can you post the following info in this format:

Current Insurer:
Age:
N.C.B. :
Modified/Standard VR4:
Cost:
Postcode:

With this info we can guage which companies seem to like modified/standard cars, what age groups etc and then start negotiating.

It may be an idea to include postcode in this survey too? As different companies "weight" areas more heavily than others?

The policy can be increased to include a 2nd car with the same 75% discount.
i.e I have a Toyota Surf on the same policy ...total cost £650ish
Policy is protected & covers me & the wife , so I can have them both on the road at the same time. Unfortunately she chooses to drive a Punto :joker:

Lifesure were the most helpful and the cheapest of the usual quotes at £968, Pace Ward were £1550, and some went up to £1700, but our current insurers (who insure our cars on a group policy for my wifes work) quoted me £800-odd about a month ago, phoned up this week and they quoted £1359 ?!? Fair enough, asked them today to put it on risk and the quote went down to £863. Go figure. Subaru Forester was £1100. Woop-de-doo. :happy: :happy: :happy:

Thats reasonable Ian, have you got full No Claims. Also think about declaring your mileage if you don't do to much. Alot of people pay way to much for there car insurance when they don't declare to the insurance company the low mileage they do .. If you do 5000 or less it will make a big difference.. I know your a Wee Bit younger than i but mine came in at just over £500 with all mods declared. Is your area high risk ??

Yes, made sure they knew all the extras and was very happy with the price - was quoted £750 with directline, my old insurers. I don't believe Elephant even asked if I had the sat tracker installed - only did it to reduce the directfine quote. Still, it all seems relatively cheap compared to the S2000's £1200 I used to pay! Benefits of age perhaps?
