New (small) section on PH?
Discussion
Just a quick thought, but would it be a good idea to have a small section where we submit our best insurance quotes. I.E. Area, car, company, cover, conditions. For others to see. We all need insurance and it is hard to get it cheap. The only reason I bring this up now is I recently got my inetgrale premium halved by being with the right company.
Maybe a list like this would help us look for someone in a similar situation, compare prices, save money. Simple.

As i've said on a couple of other threads I'll be getting a towing car so probably a Renault Laguna or a Peugot 405, has to be diesel!
The reason for this is because then I have nothing to prove, no 'street cred' too uphold as I have a westfield as my other car!
So I can pootle about within the speed limit and when i get to a track or airfield, go hell for leather with the fun pedal as much as I want!
That's my theory anyway!

My TVR S2, garaged, in Basingstoke, 3000 mile limit, value £6k, no alarm/immob, without any no-claims on the policy, £267. Classic Policy.
An extra 2000 miles would cost another £80
Classicline..
I snapped their hand off at that offer, given that Sunninghill had just quoted me over £1200
for the same cover.

I had assumed that I would never cover that sort of milage in the Lotus, but now I find myself having to be very selective with its use. I have been ringing around and have been offered a more competitive quote with unlimited milage by Footman James, although this is in conjunction with Club Lotus, I'm sure that the TVR Club has a similar deal, maybe worth a try, as the mileage limit can cause problems.
Simon, I have thought seriously about this.. after all, I'm going to Angelsey in it this weekend.. over 500 mile round trip before I even take the car on the circuit..
However, after that I hope to be taking the car off the road for the next few months for some work.. I plan some work in the heads and chassis...
After that, if I've also managed to fix my odometer I'll start counting down the miles..
The Tiv will *never* be my day to day car - it'll be sunday blasts and PH meets only, really. I haven't got the time (or money) at this point in my life to devote to maintaining the car to the extent that I could realistically use it for 6 or 12k miles a year..

Clean License
Full 3 years No claims
No accidents within last 5 years

There used to be a register of insurance quotes for TVRs at www.ratsey.com - but I have a feeling it has demised in recent months. Maybe PH needs a replacement...
I was trying to explain that the car was only worth £5000 but it didn't seem to matter
