Wedge Insurance .. :hehe:

[jvaughan]

Just got off the Phone to Classicline after declaring all the new engine mods ( and explaining that the only reason they were done was cos of a terminal failure ).
Supplied them with the full engine spec, and estimated bhp output.
Made a point of telling them TVR's claimed output, and was told that although the engine was "new", with a new CAM, new heavy duty clutch, new heads etc there was little chance of actually obtaining the quoted 275bhp. The underwriter agreedand the new quote is below

Origional Quote, me and my dad to drive, 5000 miles PA, was £260:00

The new revised Quote details as above, except the premium is different ......£256.00 !

[Mrs_T]

You lucky bugger! Are you insured for tailslides and donuts!

I tried to declare all the mods to mine, send them the build report etc but they just accepted that it was around what TVR claimed originally and gave my a nice low unlimited milage quote.

[rev-erend]

I use classic line too !

It's amazing ... < £300 - less than half the cost
for insurance that my old Griff 500 was to insure.

Good old Wedges..

[NHyde]

Classic Line £281 5k on the SEAC

Direct Line £610 unlimited on the 400

[wedg1e]

ClassicLine £248 on my 390SE.

[dickymint]

Norwich Union 840 bloody quid (includes full AA though.And used that a lot!)

[rev-erend]

Surely a 350i must be a classic.. try classicline..

[my 350i]

Just renewed mine with classicline, 350i 5k per annum for just £188. Being an oldie helps i guess

[father ted]

how old is an oldie? i am 33 and looking at quotes with great interest!
I assume all policies require vehicle to be garaged?

[jmorgan]

Mine is garaged, second car. Track day cover for any organiser but the excess is higher. £480 unlimited milage.

[boltontvr]

Paid just over £300 for mine with Heritage. Tried Classic Line, but they wanted you to have at least one years experience with a performance car.

Im 30 ( 31 next month ), been paying that sort of price for the last 3 years, never paid over 600 ( for my first year of ownership (I was 24))

[my 350i]

Oldie in my case is 43 yesterday.
Being in the motor trade though I normally have to pay a penalty on any premium, guess that offsets age discount

[Gerry Attrick]

I also use my for work so have business cover and unlimited mileage. The premium is £319, but then I'm 57 yo, so they probably think I won't last out the year of the premium, and will die from over excitement from driving a Wedge.

[CARL350i]

my 350I is with classicline as well, Im 31 and it costs £206 for 3k. My GT6 is with them as well £76. Cant be bad

[D P - 400se]

[seamus]

£256 f/c this year - 5K limited miles - again with Classic line - stored at different address - 33 going on 25.. got a quote for a kwak ZX9R and comes in @ £550 - at that money I may as well get another wedge..

[father ted]

well on the way to losing my 'wedge wannabe'tag...got a reasonable £230 quote for a 350i ,...£6k value, 5k annual mileage,thatcham 2 UNGARAGED, excess a bit steep.... but not enough to put me off!.....
'BIBLE' in the post as we speak......funds building for next spring's planned purchase.....
