TVR Insurance

[ads]

Hi Guys,
Insurance renewal time on the 99 Chim.
Currently with Classicline but had a cheaper quote with Footman James. Although they made a big deal about what catagory the alarm is. I believe it is a CAT 1 from the letter I have (mine is the M99T2 with boot and bonnet switches).

Never been asked before Manufacturer fit has always been ok. Can anyone confirm what Catagory it is please?

Also anyone had any dealings with Footman James? Are classicline any better to deal with if the worst happens than Footman james?

Hopefully I never have to find out.

Thanks guys. Tried Mannings, but they never called back.

Is the agreed value system at Footman James hastle to do then? For Classic line I just got the TVR car club to do the valuation last year and that was it.

Cheers

Thanks, I think reading between the lines, I'll see if I can get through to Mannings again. Worst case i will stay with Classic line, sounds like they are worth the £50 extra at the moment.

My personal opinion is I would rather go with a specilist who know what a TVR is and more importantly know how differnt they are to a mass produced car. One insurance company I called asked how many seats it had and if it had ABS and Traction control.

Footman James never got back to me with the answers to a few questions I asked. It just so happened that classic line called to make sure I had received my renewal quote. I mentioned the cheaper quote from FJ and they matched it, thew only difference being the Excess. So I have renewed with them for another year.

Out of interest what value would you guys put on a 1999 Chimaera 400 in A1 condition (almost concours), 28k miles?
Just seeing if I have it insured for about the right money.
