I've seen a lot of talk on the MLR and Scoobynet about insurance and have been amazed at how much people seem happy to pay to insure their motas :eek:
I used to run a twin-turbo Legacy, insured through Bennets Online with Norwich Union. I paid a pretty reasonable £664 in Year 1, £624 in Year 2 and £623 in Year 3. When I traded in the Legacy against my VR-4, they asked for an additional £186 for the remaining 6 months of the year :INSERT INTO post VALUES ( . I paid it, but when they quoted me £896 for the next full year, I thought they were having a larf so I shopped around. The two main insurance brokers who are on Scoobynet quoted me over £1200 and over £900 respectively. Not impressed, I looked around and found The Policy Shop (http://www.policyshop-insurance.co.uk/cgi-bin/PolicyShop.storefront) whose website say they specialise in Japanese imports. My phone enquiry was returned within half an hour with a quote of £523 :D which didn't need much persuading to accept. Can't fault the service - very professional, great communication, fast service.
I recommend them to anyone looking to better an existing quote. I have no connection with them but good service is worth rewarding with recommendation .... :)
