have you tried all the usual compare the market? confused? etc

Yeah I've tried them, 0 results returned.

However, someone advised me that 'mainstream' insurers will not insure me.

Broker is the way to go - the size of the premium will make it worth their while, but don't expect it to be less than £10k IMO.

Yeah I wouldn't mind paying £10k .. Least its a quote.

General question. Do you know how much brokers take from the insurance price?

Try Henderson Taylor. They do insurance for celebrities so should be no stranger to this kind of thing. I use them for my Elise and just got a really good quote on another car.

Thanks, waiting for them to respond to my quote.

Also contacted AON, so thanks to the person who told me about them.

Why does everyone assume it's bullst? I was driving new Porsches at that age, thankfully it was over 10 years ago and I never once paid over £1500. Insurance for young people these days is a nightmare!

I don't care if people think I'm bullstting, but from this thread I've got 2 insurers which I have hope for to quote me. So I'm glad I made this - But I guess, let the others 'banter'.

Sure it is, or you'd be getting a V10 instead.

Hahaha. Funniest comment on the thread goes to you sir!

OP, maybe you'll learn not to post silly threads on a forum such as this.

If you really need to insure an R8 then I'm sure google could easily help you out.

Finally, if you're willing to pay probably £10k-£15k I'm sure there would be plenty of companies out there willing to insure you.

Silly thread?

Someone suggested me to post this thread on PistonHeads. And I thought why not? Got nothing to lose. Besides someone else on the forum may also have been in my position but with a different high value car.

Some very jealous people on this thread.

Look at the OP's username, he's clearly a drug dealer therefore I don't see why anyone is doubting his ability to afford an R8

I'm not a drug dealer!!!

I'm addicted to R8's..

And with the 5.2 V10. Do I drive this before or after the insurers have raped my ass.

I'm getting quotes of about £1200 for a Caterham with performance not far off your r8. Ok it's probably not worth a 5th of an average r8. But it's a quick car and I'm 21 living in "Liverpool". So I would imagine it's possible for you to insure it. Look at limited mileage policies.

Which company did you get the quotes off? And also have you got any NCB?

Btw guys I'm not replying to useless comments now, sorry. It's getting off topic lol

How many of your friends drive that sort of car?

It is lonely at the top. Think carefully before you single yourself out by your actions.

Be sociable, get more seats but same powerrrr.

Only I..

Somebody please recommend me more 'premium' insurers!

Don't laugh but direct line was always best for me, like i said though it was a long time ago before compensation culture pushed premiums up massively. I think you will need a specialist broker like pace ward or similar. Would be amazed if you got anything less than say 6k though....

Okay I guess it wouldn't hurt to try them, and thanks for the recommendation of the broker.

At 19 I used Auto Trader insurance - I'd steer clear of them if I were you, they decided to bump my policy up three-fold on the year's renewal (Impreza STi). In the past year I've had a VX220 Turbo and an M3, granted not of the same caliber as an R8 but I insured through Admiral and Elephant - they're both owned by the same company so should return very similar quotes. Come to think of it, a girl I used to see had a V8 R8 and was also insured through Elephant (she was 20). Always worth a shot!

Yeah someone who I know has an R8 but he's a lot older than me, he recommended elephant. But every time I try to do a quote, it gives me the dreaded error.

I would ring them up, but I don't want to waste their/my time. I'll ring them up if I run out of insurers.

crazy about cars said:

wow...nothing screams daddy's boy like OP. Some people are just spoilt rotten

I WISH my parents would buy an R8 for me..

But I decided to get off my ass at a young age and started a company, which generates substantial amounts of profit every day - Thats enough about me..

Most people are jealous, even my friends - What can ya do!!

I had an entirely reasonable £600 premium on a Maserati at 25 from Michael Ward Associates, not sure if they're still going as it looks like they trade under another name, but worth a quick phone call.

Don't think any or very few insurers will do online quotes for cars over £50k, you need to get to work on the telephone....

Yeah fair enough, I'll do a few phone calls once the other insurers have contacted me. Filled in quite a few forms so far.

Anyway, back to the question. If the OP is serious, PM me and I can perhaps send you a couple of contact details for 'specialist insurers' In the not too distant past I sold a couple of cars( think Tuscan and Sagaris) to some 'youngsters' one of whom happened to be a member of a very popular 'boy band'. R8 should be a pussycat compared to them.

Hi,

I tried 'emailing' you on here. But I'm a new member and got the 'Sorry, the email service isn't available to new members for the first 24 hours' message. Any other way I can contact you?
