Insurance is rearing its head!

[T40ORA]

Bloody bad situation. I haven't used the TVR for 3 years, so it hasn't been insured. Just doing the annual trawl for renewals for our 'normal' cars and as the Tamora will be back soon I checked out renewal for that - only to find out that the NCB was only valid for two years. So I will be starting with ZERO NCB for insurance on a TVR Tamora!!

Bummer.

Any advice on good companies to try, that might 'honour' the fact that I have about 7 years NCB worth of driving on that policy, despite the fact it has officially expired?

TIA

Thanks Guys. Looks like MSM are getting the underwriter to honour it on a family fleet policy. STill need to go through the numbers though.

Mine is a 2006 model Tam, so still needs NCB.

KGM who underwrite MSM's policies did mine with an agreed value for about £450 last year on 3K miles kept outside.

Yep, looks like KGM are good. Three cars for £980, going up to £1119 when I swap out an MX5 for the Tamora. 10k miles each. And they will honour the NCB as and when I come off the family fleet option and just keep the TVR on there.

I will discuss agreed value when that time comes so the premium may change a bit.

Have you tried Admiral ? i have My Cerbera / Jag S Type R & the other halfs Micra Sport all insured for just over £430.

TVR garaged all others on the Street with a mileage of 3k on Cerb and 6k on the others and protected no claims on all.

Yes, we tried them. Looks iike they will cover a 400+bhp TVr, but not a supercharged MX5 running about 200bhp!

Bonkers really.

I have just insured my Tamora with MSM who could not have been more helpful, certainly worth a phone call.

The policy covers myself (36, lots of NCB but used on other cars, 3 pts) and my partner (30, no NCB, 3pts) for up to 10k miles per year with legal cover for £410 per year. They seem to offer a deal to match NCB you have on other vehicles if that helps.

I've gone with MSM. £1100 for three cars including the TVR. If I just stay with them with the TVR next year, they will 'loan' me 5 years NCB. If I then stay with them for 5 years, I will have accrued a total of 10 years NCB - which I can take away with me.

Shame that they don't do track day cover though.
