Bell Insurance (via confused. Com) £606 per year for me 36 with zero no claims (only company fleet history)and the misses (9 yrs no claims, 6000 miles a year(1000 business) all mods declared (pipe, rip shift ap brakes), both clean licenses and no accidents against. This was the difference between buying the car or not. If it had been £900 odd quid as I was expecting, then I wouldnt have bothered. A plan quoted £950 for the same insurance. I recommend anybody to try confused.com. It allows you to tinker with your quotes and resubmit to tune into the best deal. Everyone I know has halved their insurance using this service. I also recommend bunging the missess on as a named driver especially if she has good insurance history on her own policy. It took £120 straight off my quote and I dont have to let her anywhere near my motor, let alone drive it, apart from emergencies or maybe back home from the pub (obviously), or when her car is being serviced. The thought of my wife (a teacher) pulling up in the school car park in a 400hp nascar sounding V8 beast would certainly give her improved credibility with the kids though!!!

Interesting.... Just submitted my data based on your recomendation and for a FI Monaro they have declined to quote, handing me over to a specialist company who they say I have to phone.

Obvoiusly don`t like Superchargers

Mmm...thats a shame. Declaring mods when I submitted certainly cut down the ammount of companies prepared to quote from 30+ to about half a dozen and thats with relatively few changes in the power output department. Maybe a blower is a mod too far as you say and has them all running to the hills!

Agreed – Confused were cheaper - the lowest prices were Bell, Elephant and Admiral (which are all Admiral companies) should I be suspicious of confused independency???

Not many mods 'yet', but Elephant were cheapest for me.....when I put the girlfriend on the policy (2 years younger, and only driven for two years with no NCB??????) Knocked £200 off. Explain that one please, but i'm not complaining too much.

Elephant don't cover superchargers but APlan do.
