Insurance for an Ex Ozzie
Discussion
Hello Everyone,
My Ozzie mate is going to buy my TVR Chimaera 4.0l, however he is finding it really hard to get a realistic figure in relation to insurance. He has been quoted upwards of 3k!! He is 35 and has been driving in this country for 3 years and has had no convictions or crashes. Surely there must be cheaper out there, can anybody help?

Sunninghill are on +44 (0) 1276 486086
however they didn't fill me with much confidence...
Quote for Chimaera 4.3 1993 @ £13,000 6yrs NCB etc £993
My current insurers: A.Manning (phoned also just now)
Quote for Chimaera 4.3 1993 @ £13,000 6yrs NCB etc £698
Guess which one I'd be going with

None of the specialists were interested in insuring me as I hadn't owned a 'performance' car before.
Best quote was (rather surprisingly) Tesco's. Direct Line were also competative but they wouldn't give me their internet discount if I contracted over the phone & their site kept on crashing so took my buisness elsewhere.
Both will quote over the internet

Wish I was under 30!!That explains why your is that much.Sounds like you got a good deal.Is it a limited mileage policy?
Nope unlimited inc commuting I was quite pleasantly suprised as the Puma costs me about £400 anyway.

Yes I know the one!He is the one who did my insurance when I had the Tiv(good quote though)
Yup, sounds like the one that phoned after I'd bought the policy saying that he couldn't continue to provide the free RAC cover as the car was now over 8 yrs old.
BTW Tesco's don't seem to recognise a 4.3 Chimaera.
