Tamora Insurance

[Bobhon]

Hi all, I pick up my new Tamora this Sunday , so I'm in the process of sorting out some insurance for it.

The best quote I've received so far is from a company called A One Insurance Services. I picked them up from Sprint magazine.
They are looking at a policy with Equity Red Star.

So the question is has anyone had insurance through A One or a policy with Equity Red Star? And if so then were you a happy customer?

Oh and if anyone wants a lovely V8S then I'm still trying to sell mine through the PH Classifieds.

TIA

2 of my 3 are with Equity Red Star via Classicline - they do pay out too if ever required.

Thanks, sounds good. Do they cover you on a Classic policy? My V8S insurer won't touch the 2002 Tamora as they don't consider it to be old enough to be a Classic.

One is a 99 car the other an 01 so probably.

Mannings are always competitive for me Bob .
Went to Hagerty for a year but then they decided they didn't like the newer cars .

I've tried a few of the usual suspects like Adrian Flux, etc. But the car will live on the drive under a cover so most won't even quote.

Give Matt a try at Henderson Taylor - my 02 Tamora is on a classic policy through equity redstar too. About £400 for 3000 mpa if it helps.

Hope you get sorted and welcome to Tamora ownership

Had the previous Chim insured with red star during its time through RHClassics/specialists and Tuscan currently with RH/equity redstar

Luckily and touch wood not had to claim, but always seem to have reasonable excess's etc...

Roll on Sunday.

Thanks Pete. I spoke with Matt today and he offered me Equity Red Star. But the car would have to be garaged, which I can't do at home and I don't want to rent out a remote garage really.

He did sound genuinely helpful though.

Thanks Mark. I haven't seen any PH posts about driving around in your new Tuscan?? I'm presuming that you didn't get out of it all weekend?? I hope that it's all going well and that this unusual sunny spell continues for a while.

Roll on Sunday is right. The trip back with the car is Bristol to Birmingham which would naturally be up the boring M5. Think that I need to find a better A road route if possible.

Another one for Mannings. £437 for my 53 Tamora 4.3, 3000 mpa including euro break down just in case some Johnny Foreigner runs into me on my jollies

Tuscan 02 3k a year though RH Was 300pa including euro, breakdown and I believe track day for those interested. (Not me)

As for driving mine, no tax, and not had insurance policy to enable me to tax, been sooooo annoying. Policy arrived this morning but so close to the end of the month thought id hold off until July. anyone know if they give you a grace period? ie, if I go to post office to tax it Friday, will they start it from beginning of July?

Mannings were always good for me too, but Confused came up with £180 and I couldn't justify nearly 3x as much with the specialists.

I use Equity Red Star through Classic Line.

It's worth shopping round though. Henderson Taylor were more than Classicline even though both were using Equity Red Star.

My insurance premiums for the past few years have been:-

2011/12 Manning UK - £719
2012/13 Henderson Taylor - £412
2013/14 Henderson Taylor - £495

Then the quote for this year was £498 so I called every insurer on the TVRCC recommended list and the best in terms of price and quality of service was...

2014/15 Classic Line - £298

i use classic line for my ls tam....its under £400 with breakdown etc..

Same here, although never used Mannings, Churchill came up with £159,(cheaper than taxing it) including free breakdown cover, for the amount of use the thing gets nowadays, done around 400 miles since August MoT, That will do nicely.

Tried MSM? been good to me for the last 4 years and the offer (or did) 5% discount for Pistonheads membership

Just renewed ours and switched to ClassicLine, cheapest by about £100 and with all the bells and whistles included.

[Bobhon]

Thanks all.

So I've eventually brought a policy with Equity Red Star through A-One sublet through Classicline (?).

£200 cheaper than the Meerkats or Gogogocompare and £50 cheaper than any other quote I got. So well happy.

Until the policy arrives stating that the car must be garaged when I said that it would be parked on the drive overnight?????????????????

Phone call in the morning to sort this one out I think.

Anyone actually insured for car on drive overnight at a reasonable price?
