ScottC Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) They told me that they 'don't insure Supra's with modifications, and they aren't really a rare enough car to go on classic.' That's odd, my 93 NA-TT bpu has been insured with them for the past two years on their 'modified car scheme'.

Havard Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 They don't do up north I'm insured through them.. You are not "up north" Alex. You are a different country..!! They actually do not insure anyone who is within 1000 miles of Salford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Google search your postcode to see how high a risk it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I haven't looked at every post but if its not been mentioned try Adrian Flux. I'm 28 and insured mine under classic insurance a few months back for £250 ish. I had to beat them down in price though, big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safely Insured Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) They refuse to insure me because they don't do "Up North" as they said to me on the phone some time ago. I'd like to find whoever said the above to you and throw them out of an upstairs window. It's a ridiculous statement to make by someone in my company, as has been backed up by some members posting (thanks btw). Some of our North West postcode restrictions were recently relaxed, no guarantees but it's worth 5 minutes of your time running through a quotation with us.

Purity14 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 A-Plan got back to me with £800 or there abouts - which is the cheapest price yet, but it mirrors my no claims from my other car. They said they couldn't get it on a classic policy due to my being too young (29), and that the car is only 17 years old, so it isn't eligible for there scheme. Obviously they are talking nonsense - because ill insure it for half that when I find the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ollie Sky Insurance Tel: 01707 642552 Thanks Ollie, That was said to me when I first bought my first NA in 2008, so I expect it has already happened by now My postcode isn't great, but I will ring up again and just ask about the postcode. We had a murder about 200yards away not so long ago, i wonder if that makes my insurance go from £270 to £800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sky were £690.00 with 7 years NCB, much better than when I last rang, nice chap - and I actually got a figure of out them so thanks Ollie. I think I can get cheaper though, and without using my NCB. My target is about £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Kin ell £700 to insure an NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Kin ell £700 to insure an NA Whats worse is that some other insurers say "You need to be 30 for us to insure you on those type of cars" What does that mean? "Those types of car?" - Maybe it means a 17 Year old lardy rust bucket, that by now probably has the same horse power than tiny french hatchbacks are putting out as standard? When I have two Motorbikes sat in the Garage that are both faster, more dangerous, and easier to steal than an N/A Supra, it doesn't make sense. I will find someone cheaper, but admittedly sky are currently the cheapest, how depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was with LV for 10 years but let the insurance lapse for 1 year while I was unemployed, on a promise from LV that they would carry on my my NCB if I renewed with them. 1 Year later they refused to re-insure me stating they did not insure Supras. One tele-handler told me they had never insured japanese imports ever, and still seemed sceptical when faced with their own records of my last 10 years. They even had the gall to ask why I was leaving them after being so loyal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Mission complete: £430.90 I know its not as good as I had wanted, but it will do until next year when I'm 30 and I can renew with Lynbrook again for 300 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Awesome! Who did you go with in the end?! I rang Footman James back actually, who said No again, because I wasn't 30, and that I'm not an existing customer. But then I explained that I also have a bike insured with them on a classic policy that is actually the same age (1996) - surely this means I'm an existing customer? along with the fact I'm 29, and ill be spending 6 months of the policy being 30 anyway. They put me on hold for a while and then said "Okay, no problem." Result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
