Bloomin Marv Insurance

[ouiseyg]

Boring I know, but on my yearly search for the best quote for my 87 350I I picked up a company from a previous thread RH Specialists (0870 111 8962).My current insurer Footman James quoted £276.00, Classicline quoted £234.00 and various others very similar. On a 3k milage , Im nearly 40 (bugger!) and living in sunny Hampshire
RH Specialists quoted "£157.50"(including legal). How good is that!!!

[matt-man]

better than the £1098 i pay for my 10 month policy thats for sure! And that price is the cheapest i found by about £2000 than any other company i tried!

For some reason, when you call an insurance company and say 'Hi, Im 21 and i would like to insure a 4.0 TVR please....' these seems to be a moments pause at the other end and then just a giggle....followed by the phone cutting off...

HOW RUDE!!

Typical. I renewed with ClassicLine in January for my TVR and Lotus (£350 the pair): as it's a classic policy it's non-refundable so I'm tied-in for the rest of the year... by which time your mates RH may have twigged and jacked-up their prices...

Oh well, it's only money.

[ouiseyg]

Anyway owning a TVR means you must have a large amount of cash stuffed under your bed for all those little jobs you have to do before a Sunday drive!!! As for Matt, at least there is some benefits of being on old b*****d!!!

I've just been quoted £173.25 by the same company. Cheers for the info, I was going to pay £400 to Footman James!

Er, no. Owning a TVR precludes having any money, ever.

AND I'm older than he is...

[matt-man]

indeed..it only money! The way that i look at it is that on the 'Smile per Pound Ratio' the wedge certainly comes up on top!

[badredwedge]

Money !!! Whats money ?? Is that the small round things wifey lets me have to buy sweeties if Im a really, really good boy??

[gsx600]

So Paul when will it be back on the road?

We must arrange a fish and chips day by the sea for the Petersfield boys!

[matt-man]

indeed! Im always in for a blast, and always chips!!!...ill try and not break down this time too!

[gsx600]

Hopefully be on the road soon

Doing the final (hopefully ) coat of paint on the nose cone and in engine bay and then as much clear coat as I have left.
Then bolt all bits back to inner wings
Put bonnett back on (hopefully now cured enough and back in the right shape)
Insure when it runs out
Tax
Megasquirt it


Then sit back and watch the cracks reappear in time for next winter

Paint job not perfect but it's all my own work and I'm no professional. preperation preperation preperation and do not rush as I have found out to my cost

We'll be expecting a running report on this one

[ouiseyg]

The excess was either £150 or £175 , the schedule they sent me does not say. When I get the full policy I will confirm.
Hi Martin (thanks for the help with the brakes again the drive survived you'll be pleased to hear oh and I did the fuel pipes the other night what a SOB job that was).
MOT next week taxed for 1st April (if all goes to plan) so you might hear me round the Island..
Yeah sounds good maybe be up for Goodwood Breky Club that weekend if I can secure a morning pass.

"My current insurer Footman James quoted £276.00 ... On a 3k milage , Im nearly 40 (bugger!) and living in sunny Hampshire"

My current insurer, Footman James, cost me & herself £461 fully comp for the same miles, both of us over 40, me over 45, and we are in Liverpool by the bay.

Have just paid them another £150 for extra 1.5 thou till end of June and they want £530 for next year at 4.5 k

Probably tell me it's cos of where I live. Bare stewards

[islander]

Does everybody who drives a wedge have the name Paul?

Gosport Paul, Hayling Paul, GS600 Paul, and my middle name is Paul!!!!!

[gsx600]

And probably every Paul is off the road at present too

Just got my quote from then over £150 cheaper than current guys, plus comes with breakdown cover. Only stipulation was Thatcham Cat 2 alarm

Cheers
