Did you try Admiral yet? Way cheaper than all the brokers based on my quotes. Only problem with them is they don’t do new car cover for the first 12 months (mine is new/18 plate) so you just get ‘market value’, with new car cover you get retail cost of new car in first 12 mo. Shame you can’t get gap insurance for Vettes...

No haven’t tried admiral, would have to be much cheaper for it to be a concideration if it’s only market value in first 12 months.

Mines 18 plate as well, are you collecting on the 1st?

I hope to get it before then, I live just round the corner from Ian Allen so should be able to get it into my garage using trade plates... what did you get? I was down there today looking at some new ones awaiting their new owners...!

Lovely, nice choice sir :-) Pretty certain I saw it... in fact I'm pretty certain it is in a photo I took of mine...

What!!! It’s not inside a heated garage lol.

I concidered the carbon 65 but it would probably have made me keep it for a long time being as it’s a limited run. The zo6 carbon is v nice as well but 111k !!!

[soundslegal]

I know, shocker, haha! They arrived late yesterday apparently.

Yeah, not planning on changing any time soon plus the cost of all the options I wanted was pretty much the same as C65, so went for that. If I get bored of the stickers that can be easily resolved... Only manual C65 in the country (1 of 3 I think). Saw the Z06 in the showroom today... reckon they should have got a manual box on a car like that, but personal choice...

Love the Watkins Glen colour though. Would have been my other choice. Enjoy the car!

PS the Z06 between our 2 cars (sold order) must be around 120k with all the options on it inc Z07!!

Classicline is only market value too. A Plan is cheapest I've found so far that does new car replacement in first 12 months.

My classic vettes are with classicline and my modern challenger was with A Plan, avoid flux as there has been a lot of bad reviews on many many American car sites in recent times, particularly if you need to make a claim, have you tried Brentcare as a lot of the challenger guys are getting good quotes from them and also try Aviva, a friend had multi car policy with them and they covered his C6 ZR1 and was very cheap 9few years ago though) but brentcare seem to be the best value at the mo

Thanks, yes, I'm going to run with A Plan at £860 I think. Flux were £1100 and are just awful to deal with. Brentacre I spoke to this morning after reading someone mentioned them above, but they were £1250... Aviva won't quote on these cars. Hoping this will be easier next year!

The GS comes with a GPS tracker fitted, so that’s easy! A Plan said to me that was fine. Obviously you have to keep the OnStar subscription up to date, but that would go with any tracker...

All Corvettes come with OnStar - check the Chevy UK website. Plus I spoke to Craig about this Wednesday...! Just depends on whether insurer happy with it I guess, but can’t see why they wouldn’t be given it’s the same as any other tracker so far as I can work out!

I think I may have got a bit confused, sure onstar but I got the impression from a plan that they required another or higher category tracker.

Too many phone calls lol, I’ll double check on Monday.

Didn’t bother in the end as I’ve gone with aviva, Ian Allen recommended a broker who got me a more comprehensive cover for £995 all in, new replacement car if written off in the first 3 years. 5000 miles with option to extend if needed. And they accept the onstar.

So I’m all set

Excellent. All except the fact it is 1 March and I dare say neither of us are brave enough to take our 18 plate cars out today!!
