Insurance costs and modifications

[KEV10-30]

I've been a regular visitor to this site for the past month, but this is my first post. Some great info and enthusiasm for the cars, so pleased to be here.

I got hooked on Holden while living in Oz in the mid-'90s and I recently test drove 3 Monaros during a holiday there. Made my mind up, I just want one.

I'm due to collect a phantom black CV8 on Friday!

Meanwhile I'm arranging insurance and being quoted >£1,100 without mods, add £300 if I go ahead with LSV stage 2. Auto Express estimated £800 as a typical quote recently and I wondered what you fellas pay and what effect your mods have had.

I'm 40 with full no claims, 3 points (SP30!), tracker, garage, decent postcode. Interested to hear from others.

Thanks for info - Tesco were £200 better on quotes with and without mods.

My test drives in UK and Oz were in silver, purple (?) and yellow, so it had to be black !
