I recently bought a 4 year old V8V coupe 
to keep my RR Sport SC company in the garage. I built a list of all the sources of insurance recommended in the Aston forums and set about contacting each one.
The RR cost circa £1,300pa for me and the missus (50 and 37 years old, 2 sp30s each and 10 and 7 years ncd's). I wanted us both insured on the RR & Aston and asked each company to try swaping the main and second driver round to see if it made any difference. It doesn't seem to.
Bottom line all were much of a muchness i.e. circa £2,600 to £2,800 per annum
for both to be insured on both cars. That is until we phoned Locktons. They offered to insure both cars for about £70 more pa than I was already paying for the RR. I tried to cancel my cover on the RR which I paid in full in July and was told I would lose 55% of my premium and £40 handling charge. I went back to Locktons and reluctantly told them I could not give them the RR until next July and this did not change the original price they gave me for the Aston. Awesome. Who said owning an Aston is expensive.
I added on some bonus protection and voila I ended up with a stella deal.
Oh the people who thought a 55% exit penalty was reasonable were Aviva via Right Choice insurance brokers.
IF anyone wants my list I can dig it out and post it in here.

Chubb are superb.
Choice of repairer, which was Works Service for me. Up to £4k for like to like replacement car while yours is repaired and clear communication throughout the whole process.

Chubb Masterpiece is a masterpiece. Agreed value, no question, any driver, European breakdown, like-for-like during repair where you wish, etc. Damn expensive though. The Chubb policy through Locktons via AMOC is almost as good, but a lot less expensive.
ETA: I think that with insurance you pay for what you get; or actually you get what you pay for. I sleep happy believing I have no worries should I ever have to claim (never have done yet) . I could insure my cars for one-tenth of what it currently costs me, but not sure I would sleep well if I did.

Actually, you can get that with all insurance companies, jus some prefer not to tell you up front and make it difficult.
Well, I know that. But you try having that argument?!My V12 was collected by Works Service on a low loader and is in Newport Pagnell as we speak under the tender mercies of the team there. Total number of phone calls from me - two. No mess, no fuss, no stress. And a 911 turbo to play with in the meantime.
Now that's what I'm talking about
Quick online qoute last night decided this would be my last quotation as im getting pretty bored with repeating my self with one company after another.
Tried Loctons as suggested on here they turned out to be cheaper,and a lower excess,and no extra charge for putting my wife on it.
Result
They were very efficiant and generally very nice people and i get part free membership to AMOC
Thanks for the heads up and only a day to wait now before i get my car

Eventually went with the Insurers preferred place - Aston Martin Approved Bodyshop.
I only rejected their work 3 times
hi everybody, first time posting - finally got round to registering and offering some contribution.
my insurance costs - currently with privilege - got an increased quote for renewal which un surprisingly went up to £801 from £783 last year, not too bad you may think.
phoned admiral got a quote for £625.78 on the multi car deal, also had a new policy set up for my daughters ford fiesta and the promise of me taking the family barge to them in Nov the volvo V70 all 3 cars cheaper on this policy than currently paying,
less excess attached also.
+9 years NCD, clean licience, parked on drive, wife also named driver.
worth shopping around,some quoted 3 times this amount
