Tricky Aston Insurance Recommendation

[ADF123]

Hello all,

Have dropped a bit of a b*llock recently and wanted to ask if anybody had any recommendations re: Aston insurance in light of this.

I have been looking at either a Vanquish or Rapide S both at £100k>. Early 30's. No NCD due to living outside of the UK for the past few years but 7+ years previously of incident and point free motoring. Previous ownership of V8V, Cayenne Turbo plus other vaguley exotic stuff. One small (opportunistic) claim made against me last year but other than that nearly 15 years of incident free driving.

Now the big problem...

I recently (unwisely) delegated the household car insurance renewals to my wife who, long story short, has basically ended up cancelling the wrong policy leading to a very red faced moi being pulled over yesterday for driving without insurance. My solicitor tells me I should be able to avoid the points given my genuine belief I was driving insured but I am still looking at a conviction due to the absolute nature of the offence. Anyway, I was naive and hold my hands up to the mistake.

I have previously used Locktons to insure an Aston and will try them next week but I am guessing my lack of "whiter than white" driving background may necessitate a bit of shopping around this time around.

So... I would be very grateful if anybody could save me a few hours and give me a recommendation given my circumstances or any info as to how they dealt with a similar situation.

Many thanks and much appreciated,

Matt.

You might be better off editing this and posting it somewhere in general gassing where you'd be more likely to get some useful responses (and a whole load of abuse).

More and more insurance companies are quoting their best prices for policies with black boxes, even for thirtysomethings like us when pricing up our AMs for the year. The prospect of this scares me...a lot! That would be like my mum wanting to put a sound recorder in my bedroom as a teenager. A little voyeuristic if you ask me

Had 09 Mercedes SL550 with Geico. Traded for 08 Aston Martin V8 Roadster. Insurance went down $30 a month. Now $113 month including 13 Ford Fusion

I would suggest talking to an old fashioned broker. Explain what has happened and let them suggest where to go. Have a mate but don't think he is on here if you are around Herts, Beds Cambs area.
