Post-upgrades insurance

[Phil_Edge]

Two thoughts which I need to resolve fairly shortly, so wanted to throw to the floor:

1. Post-upgrades, are there particularly specialist insurers I'll need to talk to? Or will the usual set of recommendations cover a RR upgrade with bits and pieces?

2. Any thoughts on roughly what the additional costs will be? Got some idea but wanted to establish what actual "experience" there was, if anyone's been through similar upgrades?

My insurance is with Groupama and as far as I am aware there was no additional charge for the engine remap, they just put down as 'Miscellaneous engine modifications'. The insurance was place through A-plan who specialise in TVR insurance, so that may have made a difference.

Have used A-plan and Sunninghill (Jelf group) and both have been fine with mods.

Just doing mine again through A Plan. £295. 6000 miles. Full Protected NCD.

Flux here. They originally quoted me £614 with engine mods, custom exhaust and nitrons, but then matched a quote of £400 from Haggerty on a future classics policy (which didn't mind about the mods)

Spoke to A-Plan, and Group Arma (spelling?) have covered all the mods from stock 4.5 to full RR conversion with no increase in the premium.

Happy bunny...

Proves the standard car is considered so mad that an extra 10% to 20% more power makes little difference to the risk!!!!!!

Glad you didn't have any issues, but what did I say. Forgot to mention I've also got Nitrons & SP12's
