Insurance for modified cars

[theboyfold]

I have an E36 328 that I need to insure as a 2nd car and it has been modified for track use (stripped out, caged, new suspension etc). What companies are generally considered to be the best to insure this sort of thing on a limited miles basis? Flux? Anybody else that's worth trying?

Chris Knott (sp?)

brentacre are spot on for modified cars from experience.flux wanted triple the price I got from brentacre - and asked questions like do I drive on track which I think should be irrelevant.

I think sky are meant to be pretty good for insuring parts as well as the car too.

Greenlight, Aplan or Brentacare are usually good. I've been with Greenlight the last 4/5 years. No complaints here

Thanks all, I'll give them a buzz in the morning.

Keith Michaels used to do my impreza.

I've only just taken a policy out with Chris Knott, but I have been impressed with the service and the quote so far, and the reviews on the club forum are good.

Bit late to the party but Greenlight look after my V6 swapped MR2. 30% the price of anywhere else I try. Lads on the phones are pretty good too and they seem to know their stuff.

Never had to claim, mind...

Good thing with Greenlight is some mods don't even add any extra to the premium. I stuck around £2.5k's worth of suspension & brake mods to the old car (needed it!!) and it didn't go up at all, remap hardly increased either, I've got nitrous planned for the summer and they've only said its an extra £70!!

But....never had to claim so not sure how good/bad they are here?

Ended up with Flux, Greenlight don't do BMWs, brentacre were expensive, Chris Knott won't cover caged cars. So all good in the end with Flux, got a decent price in the end.

Glad you got a good quote. In future, tt's worth considering REIS and Competition Car Insurance, as both will also include cover for a fixed number of track days as part of the package.

Sky, Brentacre, Flux, HIC

A Plan.

Unless things have changed the Thatcham branch is the one that handles modified/imports/unusual.
