you should be able to get cover, my only experience before was a Fiesta, MKII Escort, Cavalier, and 2 Primera GT's then got the TVR. That wa with Sunninghill, it was only last year .Things shouldn't of changed that much. Hope you get it sorted somehow. Perhaps it' sthe company car bit that is the stumbling block.

Thanks dicky. Perhaps I'll try Sunninghill again and quote you and some of the other PHers.

Anyone else got any bright ideas?

i know how frustrating sorting out the insurance can be, must have something to do with the company cars, can not see it being anything else. good hunting!!!

This may sound silly, but have heard of Direct Line doing weird things on the odd occasion. Maybe worth a call.

Hi Snakes

If you decide to go ahead with ordering the car say to them that you will place the order today if they do not charge you the delivery charge. From experience they have enough profit in the cars to be able to cover the delivery cost.

Good luck and enjoy.

I'll let you know the best deal I find "pies" when I complete my search! I've bought a reg from DVLA www.dvla-som.co.uk
so know the Reg. (T3SOX!)

Will try Direct Line tomorrow "dicky" and re-try Sunninghill!

Thanks everyone.

Snakes, you could also try A One Insurance Brokers - 01202 760022, Mike Brown - they got me a Norwich Union policy for my Chimeara when Mannings wouldn't because I hadn't owned a TVR before (Catch22 lives!!). The policy includes track days as long as I tell them beforehand.

also try Ian Fray & Co for insurance - Darren Coote on 01455 619022. Their Classicline policy is good value for 5K miles per year - I just paid £675 on my Cerbera, 35 years old, living in SW London!

The company car thing should not be a problem as long as you were claim free while you had it - most insurers will accept a letter from someone at work stating this as evidence of claim free driving. I use this on my everyday car, Classicline then mirrored it to cover the Cerb.

good luck

Thanks beemer, I'll try them tomorrow. I'm waiting for Autotorque to come back with a quote but it has taken them 48 hours already!

I'll post the best price when I eventually get it!

Thanks all
