Hi.
I have never posted on this Lotus Elise forum before, but can anyone answer a question please?

I currently have a 4.5 litre TVR 450i. I am contemplating selling us and going for an Elise. The only possible stumbling block is insurance.

Can you get an Elise on a classic, limited mileage insurance policy?
My TVR costs me just £250 per year based on 3k miles. Using it as a weekend toy, this is great. If an Elise is going to cost sililar money to sit in the garage most of the year round, I can justify it, however £800 to insure and I couldn't justify - see my point?

Before you ask, I'm 29, clean liscence, car garaged, full ncb on a BM 330ci and just 2 years ncb on the TVR

Many thanks in advance,
L33.

I dont think you can get it on a classic yet...but you can get low limited miles - at 30 with 2 yrcs NCB (depending where you live) then you should be well under £500 a year

try Competition car in surance, Adrian Flux etc ..or search on here for insurance

Adrian Flux offered me a modern classic policy with a 5k limit, for £410 cheaper than the best I could get anything else. 5k was just too restrictive.

I'd suggest phoning around alot.
