Muffleman Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi all, I'm not trying to annoy Mawby here 'cos I know he's put in a lot of time and effort for the club insurance schemes, but I've had a result that I have to pass on. The problem I have is I want to keep my Supe in tip-top condition and so not use it for the daily to-and-from work, but you can only use your no-claims on one car. For the last 3 years, I have been insuring my heavily modified imported MR2 Turbo with AON Classic for £300 odd a year MODS DECLARED but on a limited mileage policy, it used to be 5000 miles pa but I never did that many so knocked it down to 3000 miles a year. But as it is a classic policy, it required no no-claims and I could put this to the 'daily' car. I then bought my Supe and used my no-claims on this, paying about £700 a year through Osborne and Sons. I soon got pee'd off with paying to repair stone chips, a kerbed alloy, 15mpg etc plus I was putting miles on my very low mileage Supe, so over the weekend I bought an old 525i SE. However, insurance was to be without no-claims and was looking to be about £600 for this new BMW. So my insurance costs were : MR2 (yup still got it ) £397 Supra £700ish (can't remember off top of my head) BMW £600 Total £1,697 PA I just spoke to AON to see if they could insure my Supe as a 'classic' as it's 10years old. Again I declared all mods, and the result ? 'We can ADD your Supra to the MR2 policy and providing you do less than 3,000 miles collectively, the yearly cost will be £493 ' So now it's : MR2 and Supra £497 (£552 for 5000 miles pa.) BMW (with NCD) £297 Total £794 - YIPPPEEEEEEEE...... So if you're using your Supe as a 2nd car, give AON a call on 01384 455011 and ask for the Classic dept. Sorry for the LONG post, but I just saved £900pa and thought I should pass it on Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I tried some classic places but they wouldn't insure me as I was 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Yeah 3000 miles doesn't seem like much, and I will probably make it 5000 but when I had just the MR2, I was only doing 2000 ish between MOT's. This surprised me because it was getting used most fridays and MR2 outings\shows etc. And I'm 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Oh, and I've just got off the 'phone with AON to arrange it all. The Supra is also on an agreed value of £15k, NOT market value. How they're doing this is totally beyond me ! The only conditions are that the Supra must be kept in a locked garage between 10pm and 6am whilst at the home address, and that the cat 1. alarm\immobiliser must be working.
