Kieth Micheals

Cheapest for me on both my Rover and the Scooby, and they actually know what they're talkign about, only company I have ever called where the guy actually knew what every single modification the Rover has was, and what it did.

Was Â£900 FC for the Scooby Type R (modified group 20 import with a high claim rate and reputedly expensive insurance costs, apparently the Type R ones cost notably more to insure for whatever reason)

Â£720 for the Rover, all mods declared with increase of 90-100bhp declared over standard, think it was around the Â£400 mark for no mods.

Other companies that others prefer for modified cars are

Greenlight
A-Plan
Adrian Flux
Chris Knott

HTH

MarkCoupe will speak highly of them.

220 Turbo Conversion, Skyline R32, Mental Maestro and modded MR2.

Chis Knott here.

Has consistntly beaten other brokers on price and cover.

And nowhere near the number of horror stories as the likes of Flux.

HIC are supposed to be pretty good as well. It was their price CK beat this year.

im doing a conversion at the mo and have a pretty good condition coupe turbo. i was thinking of re-building the bubble 1.4 engine and fitting it to the coupe.

was then thinking of giving the coupe to my girlfriend as its a lot better than the metro she has at the mo.

cheers for the info, may try a few places tommorrow.

Thought CK stopped Rover policies?

Nope.

Some of the underwriters used the MGR demise as an excuse to get rid of the high risk policies they no longer wanted.

MCE Insurance.

Chaps on sxoc.com rave about them too. They beat my previous best quote (Flux) by Â£100m and the excess is Â£150 lower. All mods declared etc. Customer service has been excellent so far, very friendly on phone etc, plus gave me top level breakdown cover at a reduced rate. Can't complain.

Does anyone know if any of the above are favourable on a second, limited mileage, no no claims policy? Might be tempted to fire up a second policy.

Greenlight, every company wanted near on 1k or over for my 620ti, called them and including mods they wanted just over Â£400 fc!

Best quote I have had by far!

any reason we don't have a dedicated insurance section? i thought it would be useful due to the nature of the rover cars?

i used adrien flux this year. only coz i was working too much to ring around.

all mods declared ( some not even fitted yet! ) 5 years ncb, 31, married, chef, 4 kids only been driving 8 years though

Â£525 f/c.

dave_d · Post by **dave_d** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:21 am

I was quoted Â£430 fc with any mods I want, aswell as a replacement like-for-like basis and I only have 4 years no claims, driving 5 years, and 1 recent non fault accident, and im only 28 and not married......yet!

They didnt even ask me if I had any kids....Why else would I own a family car? lol!

They beat your previous quote by a hundred million pounds? Blimey. That's what I call a recommendation!

(Sorry, just had to!)

So you can understand why I was so disappointed with my quote from DirectLine...

I use privalige and just got a quote for next year for a bargain Â£1308 tpft. They did offer to knock Â£23 off after 30minutes of negotiating to, so they come highly recomended....

Tried flux and got Â£605 fully comp.
