Was that with Flux or another we should know about?
If its another then i would be interested if they cover nitrous oxide too.

Does this cover give you a loan car, windscreen replacement, legal expenses as well (like normal car cover)?

Age, driving experience etc?

Casting my eye over one of these very carefully as I'm far too young to be saving up for a house and the deposit money needs to be spent. FYI I'm 24 with 7yrs no claims.

Oh - then you need to look for the 'normal' TVR insurers.
You broadly have 2 options:-

- Classic policies. You dont need a no claims bonus, premiums generally v good. Often limited miles, not much/any commuting........

- Standard brokers / insurers. There are some that specialise in TVRs.


There is plenty of stuff on pistonheads - search the general TVR section and Cerb section.

Thanks for that Gazza, only really started having a good read up yesterday. All the main things to consider are being embedded into my head, but I'm in no rush atm.

Will probably wait until I'm 25 in July before trying to pick one up, plus I will have saved up some more money and knowldege by then. It seems like joining the club is a good way to go as the discounts gained far outweigh the membership cost, plus you get to be part of the family.

You lot seem pretty sound as well, had a nice chat with a Blue Grif owner at Knebworth late this summer. He had moved over from a Stag (father is part of the Stag fraternity thus knew him). Just hope I can properly fit into one of these being 6ft 2.

Yes, but does the escort have an "eco" engine like Brummie hehe?

I pay more for my 1600 Escort than I do for my Cerb. How does £129 fully comp grab you??

Oh yeah, my Escort is actually a 1700 and worth a hell of a lot more, but you ge the idea?

I have never thought Cerb insurence to be high, each year it also get scheaper.

Sweet!!
