supRo Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sky would probably be your best bet. Lancaster won't do it. Adrian Flux might but be prepared to sell your kidney(s!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sky weren't interested last renewal and I didn't even mention mods Think trade insurance may be the right way? It'll cover my bike as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Depends what you'd consider as expensive. I was looking at buying one and I was quoted 1500 - at 30. No chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sky weren't interested last renewal and I didn't even mention mods Do you mean Sky aren't insuring singles - period ? Or just because of your age factor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Do you mean Sky aren't insuring singles - period ? Or just because of your age factor ? If he didn't even mention mods...then I'd assume weren't interested on a standard Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 It was a standard Supra. I was 23 at the time so threw a £2500 figure at me and didn't want to hear about mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get trade cover for that price and it'll cover my bike as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I've got this problem too dude Debating about whether not to bother informing them because my policy with Elephant runs out in August, it's void right now anyway because i've got a BOV (although that's a quick fix unlike a single! What's really needed for trade insurance anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 What company's you with dudes? Share the wealth Do you have to prove that you trade in anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ring Newton Lee on 0191 549 4949 and ask to speak to Jamie Dowson. Tell him Steve Parnell from the Supra club told you to ring. He'll sort you out. To trade from home you only need to sell a car once in a while or wash a car now and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
