As the golf is due to arrive next week, I`ve been ringing round trying to get a competitive insurance quote. Obviously, with it being modified and with a cage, it limits you to specialist insurers, but I thought i`d share my findings with you as it may save you spending as long on the phone as I had to this morning..
Rang Greenlight first 01277 263 030
They quoted me £360, that was using my existing full NCD, but I had to transfer the Mazda policy to them for them to be able to take my full NCD into account. Out of interest, they were £40 more than I currently pay for the Mazda..
next stop was Brentacre Insurance, on 01792 650933. They came back at £430, any mods and didnt need me to move the Mazda. They work on a `power` range, so up to 150 bhp is £430 (In this example), up to 170bhp is another £70 and so on. They are very flexible regarding mods and so long as you let them know, they seem to cover everything.
Final stop, as found on here, was the insurer HIC 08451 291 291. Ask to speak to Martin. He was very helpful, he is a member of this forum and if you are a member, you get 10% off . He insured the golf as a classic car (its over 15 years old), limited 6000 miles per year. Doesnt need my mazda insurance moving, HAS FREE TRACK DAY COVER included (not really applicable to me, but may be for those of you with more valuable cars...), although it has a huge excess £1000, and covered every mod no problem. you can also get an agreed value cover for another £15. Their premium was £295, fully comp for the year, excess £145 , which in my eyes is a cracking deal.
I`m very pleased and i`ll be going with them.
Nige.
