Best way to insure a TVR + second car?
Discussion
I should be buying a TVR very soon and need to think about insurance.
What is the best way to insure a TVR (T350C possibly) and a second car? The second car I want to insure is my SEAT Leon Cupra R which I am going to try and sell after getting the TVR (it is currently insured through Elephant), I will then look at getting a cheap daily run about once the Leon is sold.
This is all very confusing, I have never tried to insure two cars at once.

You may have to bite the bullet whilst you have the two 'main' cars although some companies will mirror no claims for people with two cars.
After that the best bet is to but a car that now qualifies as a classic car. You would be surprised as to what vehicles are covered now!#
As long as it's ten years old and has a bit of an enthusists following you could insure something as nice as a Mk2 Golf 16V for less than £200 in most cases without any no claims against it.
My TVR 3000M is £128!!!

I had the sam edilema last month when buying Grif - 20 insurance companies later and Elephant (who I was insured with on the 1st car) matched the mirrored no claims at a cheaper price than the independents. Cind of surprised me to be honest! Best ring around first to get the ball park. BTW - don't bother doing anything online bar as they all assume you will keep 1 car.

Funny you should say that, I have a 1988 Mk2 Golf GTI 16v sat outside my garage but currently not running. I was originally planning on making it a track day toy but gave up on that idea and decided to buy a TVR instead (and I've already stipped the interior other than the drivers seat and the main part of the dash.. D'oh!). I now plan on getting it running for very little money and use that as my daily commute
Elephant are offering to insure a TVR as well as my Leon with the same NCB discount as I currently have on the Leon. This is sounding like it may be my best bet at the moment. Not sure what would happen if I then cancelled the Leon policy though. I am guessing the TVR premium will go up as it is my only car insured with them?
