Just tried getting an insurance quote for an M12 Gto 3r through Elephant (my current insurer) over the phone and they don't list and / or won't cover the car!

They then passed me through to a sister company who would supposedly be able to help...the first thing the guy said to me was "Noble"..pause....."whats that"! I then proceeded to put the phone down and went on to Tesco's online and got a quote of just over 1k. Not too bad I didn't think.

Are there any other Noble drivers out there of a similar age as myself? If so who did you use to insure yours?

Looks like I'm going to have to change my insurer!

Seems simple enough - go elsewhere.

I don't know, you're not said how old you are.

I pay about £750 for mine (M12-3 with 6 speed). That's on a classic policy, so no NCD is used. I'm 38. That's with ClassicLine.

When I had Esprits I was with Priviledge. They were good until you made any mods. Can you believe they wanted to charge me £150 for adding a wing ? And the wing was a factory fitted option !!

I use privilege £440 but then I'm an OAP by your standards at 42. What I would say is that it is always worth shopping around an hour or two on the internet / phone could save you a couple of hundred quid. Someone somewhere is always looking to give you an introductory deal!
