Insurance for an Ex Ozzie

Im currently with mannings and my renewel is more expensive than sunninghil by 33 quid. and the worse bit is mannings are prepared to loose 600 odd quid for the sake of 33, mad I think. im a bit unsure what to do now.
Zippy - I just changed to Sunninghill from Mannings even though Sunninghill are more expensive.
Advantages are it includes FULL RAC cover including recovery, at home and european cover, unlimited track days and up to 10,999 miles.
Mannings restricted me to TVRCC only trackdays and 5,000 miles, plus no RAC.
Make sure you compare apples with apples!

only if your car is less than 8 yrs old, and RAC is not free as they reduce the policy if you can't have it. (mistake by lobotomy bloke.. "oh no you cant have it as the cars over 8 years oid, I'll recalculate the policy), and it knocked about £90 off.. nothing is ever FREE..

I changed to Sunninghill this year - somebody on the Tuscan list pointed me at them and am I glad they did...NU renewal was 1300 for the Tuscan and 1200 for the Rangie (and A1 recommended transferring to a new insurer saving about £50 on each) - NU also didn't even get their act together and send me a renewal quote for the Griff until I had already transferred to Sunninghill, and their quote was about 1100. Sunninghill came up with 552 for the Tuscan, 538 for the Griff and (strangely) 669 for the Rangie. As I said - very glad someone here pointed me in their direction. 
When I contacted Mannings I was told that because my Chimaera isn't garaged I HAD to have a tracker fitted.
This despite the fact that I have allocated off road parking in the apartemnt complex I live in.
They were the only company out of 10 I called who insisted on this. Given that TVR's must be one of the lesser nicked cars, why is it that the 'official' TVRCC endorsed insurance brokers take this approach ?

Just renewed with Sunninghill. £475 for Chimaera 450 (Living in East Sussex with full NCB and being the wrong side of 40). Adrian Flux wanted £560 and a couple of mainstream car insurers wouldn’t even quote. Being older certainly does have it’s advantages as this is pretty much the price I paid 19 years ago for my brand new Escort RS1600i (which I wrote off with 1800 miles on the clock - so they go the short straw on that one!)
