Hello,

I am very interested in getting an Ultima GTR this year. Before I spend hours on the internet trying to get quotes for insuring an Ultima, I just wondered if anybody has any recommendations. I have tried Tescos with no joy! Also if you don't mind could you give an indication as to how much you are currently paying?

Many Thanks

MSM seems to be the choice for Ultima.

Stands back and awaits the flood of contradictions.

I really wish I could get hold of the Red GTR owner I talked to at Donington last year. He said he was paying far less than I am with MSM, just don't know who he was or what company he was using. Doh!

MSM are very good. No contradiction from me!

Nice thing is that they can cover the build too. Oh, and if you finish within 6 months they levy the premium against the driving policy

Thanks for that! I have sent off a application and am now waiting the dreaded figure! Being 25 might be a problem as always. I worked out that if I had saved all the money I have spent on Car insurance since passing at 17 I could buy a new Mazda MX5 and have change! Why didn't my dad get me interested in Property instead of Cars and Bikes?!

Being under 30 is going to make it tough getting a quote from anyone. Footman James gave me a reasonable quote when I was 28...luckily by the time I was done with the build it was a year further on from my original plan and it was a lot cheaper. I couldn't find anyone else who would even consider providing a quote. Probably with good reason.

The Jm I would be interested to hear what kind of a price you get as I'm considering purchausing an Ultima. It will be my daily drive so not sure at the moment, alternative is a 993. Let me know what figure they give you anyway. Thanks

Thanks everybody!

The MSN people were very speedy in their reply. Unfortunatley they will not look at insuring me until I reach the grand old age of 30. It is not looking good! For many years I have used a trade policy that covers me on any car and any bike that I may own. I have had to stop this as they seemed keen to see some evidence of my trading after 5 years, and whilst I do like to swop motors fairly often I was deemed to be taking the piss! The other issue was the spread of these ANPR cameras. I kept getting stopped because the cars were not on the database!

I am not giving up yet!

I was 28 when MSM first covered me. Price doesn't seem to have gone down now that I am past 30. Maybe this new rule is due to the "tuckshop" effect?

Not from November 2005 they don't... just rang them as build finally approaching (don't laugh ) for build up cover and it's no more.

Off to try Fluxy and Footman James.
