That's pretty cheap really. Is that a limited policy?

MSM quoted me £742 today. That's 5000 miles and the Max value they can insure is £50K. It must be garaged at night when at home.

in the US check with www.kandkinsurance.com/ They insured my last race car. When I told my agent I was getting an ultima, he know the car and said they could cover it. I haven't checked out prices yet.

Hmmm ... Clean license, garaged overnight, 1,500 miles a year. Thatcham Cat 1 Sat tracker, Cat 2 immobilser. I'm 31 ... and MSM are charging me £1973 for one years cover for £50k!

Mind you ... they were the ONLY company that I could get to insure me!?

That sounds rather expensive. I paty £600 for 6,000 miles, and it's only that much because I had a large claim 2 years ago. Without that, it would have been £430.

You must have been a very bad boy. Or maybe you live in Beirut

I tried everying from joining clubs to get a discount, tried to use someone elses 6 years no claims and use me as a named driver .. but MSM wouldn't reduce it. Even keeping the car at a friends house in the sticks wouldn't reduce it very much. Oh well .. its only Money!

Maybe its because its my first car

Tuckshop. something your not telling us?

I am 31, car is garaged, limited to 5000miles (I wanted 10K), and valued around the £45k mark (bit light now but I originally planned to spend a little less on the car!).

Its also decared as over 500bhp which caused a few sharp intake's of breath and the reduction of the milage, but I do have a thatcham 1 alarm.

My cover with MSM was around £750 with a normal excess!
