Hi Guys,
I know this type of thread has been done so many times, but I would appreciate any advice regarding good insurance companies for my 111R.
I am 33, FNCB, No points, no accidents, car garaged and am getting quotes for £1000+. My Esprit V8 was only £850!
Who appears to be best at the minute, with NO tracker required.
Many thanks,
Ed.

Usual ones I try every year are:

confused.com (for a baseline)
Adrian Flux 01553 845 919
Autotorque 0161 278 5226
Esteem 01252 767142
CCI 0115 941 5255
Heritage 0845 330 0660

Flux won last year, Esteem this.

Bear in mind trackday cover if you're doing these - the last four all cover these (usually with a few for free, up to £75 for additional ones), one-off trackday cover (ie: if your insurer doesn't do these) costs around £100 for £10K's worth.

Also check policy details, eg: CCI cover you for trackdays OR glass

I never managed to find one close to adrian flux.
I do have two bans though which they seem to be better for.
I had to make a claim on my policy for the first time this year, absolutely flawless throughout the whole process. Can't recommend them enough. Have heard horror stories about making claims on elephant policies, but then again there are plenty of flux horror stories. My policy is with RSA via flux though and it is them who deal with any claims so always ask who the policy is with when getting a quote. People like direct line supply the policy themselves, but won't quote for people like me!

Chris Knott saved me over £300 on Admiral. Mod friendly, discount for SELOC paid-up membership and extremely helpful and friendly.

I went with Peart (www.peart.co.uk/) @ £880 for a:

New 55 plate 111R (valued @ £31000)
38 year old driver
Other named driver
No NCB (new business)
£500 excess
3 points (SP30)
No accidents
Garged overnight
No tracker
Limited milage @ 4000/year

They even let me fit (later) a removable steering wheel & Stage 2 exhaust without any additional premium.

I pay less than you as a 22year old on my S1 valued at 10k. I was a bit tight with the named drivers and only put my dad on though

the prob with Elises is that a minor nudge can mean £3000's worth of damage if the clam/crash structure etc has to be replaced.

I could insure a Porsche 996 Turbo for not much more when I looked...!

Ed,

I concur with Darren, I went with Chris Knott this year on their "Future Classic" policy and saved over £100 (£550 in total) compared to Adrian Flux.

I'm with auto torque. 33, FNCB, 3 points, car in locked compound, unlimited mileage at about £680. Putting my dear old Mum on the insurance as a named driver knocked it down from about £950
