Branners Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Will sky not insure you on it? They will, but I was told it was over a £1000 generally to get a V8 Supra insured. Just interested to see how people get them insured. Oh, and as this car has been in the club since before we actually started, heres a few pictures of your car from back then. Excuse the quality, it was from a time before cameras had more than 1 megapixel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 He got the insurance no probs, cant remember who he said but it was not much more than his NA, think he said £100 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Looked long and hard at this but ultimately couldn't make a move with all my house moving shanangans going on at the moment. Lovely car and I bet the V8 is lovely. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
