Have you got a contact number for them please

[S3Paulo]

Yes...sorry about that...the number is 0870 111 8962

You have to listen to a bunch of recorded messages but eventually, if you persevere a real human being comes on line and does your quote there and then.

Paul.

[garfys v8s]

i vote for hagerty as well 4.6 v8s ,3000 miles, 40, guaranteed valuation of 12k =£205 ,bargain. to stay with company from last year £660

[pies]

Im going to keep very quiet

[marz92]

So come on - Pies - What's your figure??????!!!!!!!!
It's gotta be good!

I have just rung Hagerty, having read your posts. I have had a quote for my S3 valued at £6.5K for £149.10 fully comp and insured to drive in Europe. UK breakdown cover is extra at £35. (£50 for UK and Europe).
RH Specialist Car Div currently insure me for £240 BUT that does cover European cover and Breakdown.
Hagerty would save me about £40.

go back to RH and tell me the quote you got and they will probably match it and let you continue paying in installments (that's what i did)

[marz92]

Up for renewal in June, best price wins, it's a two horse race!
Thanks guys for drawing to attention - Haggerty.
Nothing like a good bit of attention.
Petrol prices up - insurances prices down.

Thats why im keeping quiet Classicline made a mistake with my policy a couple of years ago and it means im paying for 3k miles per year but being covered for 5k miles.Classic will not change this unless i cancel

[marz92]

Oh yes! I remember now - Pies. This has been discussed before. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Very very similar fig's to what Haggerty have just quoted me

[road2ruin]

I havenmt tried Haggerty yet (perhaps I should as my surname is Haggerty) anyway, my quote from classic line was £209.50 for s3 3000miles fully comp 38yrs old and no acc or conv. Breakdown for Uk was another £19.50.

[wonkygibbon]

Having no joy myself. Still stuck at £560 with Classicline

I'm 36 and live in a reasonably nice part of South West London, but the car sits on the drive not the garage and I insist on using it to commute. Thus neither Hagerty nor Carole Nash can help.

Anybody got any other ideas ?

[barkychoc]

I'm looking for my first TVR, S3 2.9i or V8S

Rang Haggerty

I have had 3 accidents in last 3 years, 2 recovered 1 in dispute.

S3 1992 3000miles £6000 value
£50 excess £177.45
£150 excess £159.60

V8S 1992 3000 miles £7000 value
