Buying XKR - Wheres best to insure it ?

[S2 Giles]

Hi Folks

I am jumping out of my TVR and into a Jaguar XKR, late 99 car. Its been a big decision but the time is right.

So I am 38, live in Devon & have 2 company cars with loads of company no claims. TVR was always classic car insurance for 10 years.

Best quote so far is footman James at £440 at 4500 miles "soon to be classic policy"

So is that good, or can i get better elsewhere ?

Thanks very much

If you join the JEC or maybe the JOC it'll save you. For example, £600+ for 3000 miles/year 1995 xjr and then sub £200 for the same with JEC membership.

Should have said that was with Adrian Flux but FJ was in the same region.

£480 fully comp, 10000 miles + named driver, XJR 2002 from Renew, hope you are over 40

Thanks. Tried all those via confused.com.

Footman James still the best at 412 if i join JEC

More expensive than my TVR but then a igher value car

AA was cheapest for me and that's 15,000 with full business cover.

Try Jaguar Insurance. My existing insurer (Privilege) insisted on a tracker and a premium that didn't seem too bad - until I phoned Jaguar Insurance, who were about 40% cheaper and didn't care about a tracker.

Sold my TVR Chim last night and picked up a 1999 XK8 best quote was from Peter D. James & Co 0845 0999500 they beat Footman by a fair bit discount for JEC membership 4500 mile limit £311.05 with agreed valuation.

When you do call Adrian Flux make sure you say you are a Pistonheads member because that can give you more discounts so that might help a bit.

I have always used peter best. My renewal for my XJR just came through, just under £200. I think it's mainly low because it's parked in a locked garage. That's on a second car/classic type policy though, I don't earn no claims but I am allowed to drive it to work.

ETA A member of a car club which does help (although not a Jaguar one, they don't seem to mind!)

Our club members (www.xkec.co.uk) also get a significant discount with Adrian Flux and we can certainly recommend them.

I have been using Adrian Flux since I got my XKR and as Mark Gregory states I get around 15% discount for being a member of the XKEC.

The good thing about AF is that you can declare all of your MODS without it having much effect on the price.

Actually just renewed mine and it went up by £15 from last year.
