Hi All, please can you recommend a few places to get a quote for a 355.

I am 33, car will be garaged and cover <3k miles per annum.

Cheers

Before I changed my mind a couple of months ago and decided to keep my TVR I had good quotes on a 98 355 GTS from Henderson Taylor & Mannings.

Try Ben Stagg at MWA.

My insurance is c. £550 pa, 31 years old, garaged in Hampshire, 1 month ban for speeding in 2008 which I think is pretty good.

Locktons have a good policy for the Ferrari Owners Club with Chubb. Free membership of FOC, UK & European breakdown cover is included

MWA initially quoted for me, but it was just the price of the Locktons quote plus their fee on top (I found this out when I spoke with Locktons as they already had my details on their system when I then called them for a comparison), so I just went direct to Locktons

There's a fair few Lockton clients on here

I've just renewed with Hagerty. 3000/yr, garaged and I'm also 31. £511 However, they’ve stopped doing track cover which I learnt recently having booked to go to Spa in April. Are there firms out there that will do 1 day cover for such an event?

Cheam Insurance brokers 8652-7733
Michael Ward Associates - Ben
Competition Car Insurance - Martin - 0115-9347-107 (should include 5 free trackdays)
ClassicLine
Adrian Flux
Lochtons - 7933-2118 (thru supercarhub.com)

A lot of them have Euro breakdown cover thrown in.

I am with Aviva best I could find, I had not heard of Locktons when I insured, will try them next renewal though. However, Aviva was the cheapest of the large insurers.

Lockton - free breakdown cover (had them out 3 times, not all for the car I might add!), free FOC membership (£70) and I believe they don't use NCB so you can use that on any other car you own.

I pay ~£650 fully comp, 7.5k miles per year, 29 yrs old, living in bad postcode in London, one non fault-accident in last 5 years, about 10 yrs NCB (not that they use it I think)

Thanks fellas, will give a few a try.
I had a quote yesterday with Competition Car Insurance which includes 5 trackdays (with reasonable excess) at just over £500. Might be difficult to beat given the trackday cover (although I suspect it's unlikely I will track this one).
Cheers

I called Locktons for a quote on my 355, spoke to Claire, but as I wanted to have my Son and Daughter on the policy (25 and 26 and on current policy) she said she had to check with the underwriters and would call me back later that day, no call came but one of her colleagues did call the following afternoon and left a message to say she'd called and would call back in 30 minutes..... that was 6 weeks ago. In the end I stayed with Chubb Masterpiece with any driver, unlimited mileage, drive any other car fully comp and Euro breakdown for £330
