Insurance

Who do you guy recommend for insuring a Ginetta?

I had a quote a couple of years ago for £860 (which I thought was astoundingly cheap), but I can't find who it was from

Cheers, I'll have a around in the mags.

Footman-James were at the Historic car show in Stoneleigh, and got my details for a quote. I should receive it later today.

Then again, a fiver sounds good

This was going back about three years, I was 21 with no (6 months) no-claims, for a new G4. I then went and bought the FTO, for which I pay about 1,500 a year (I'm never buying an import again).

I'll soon be 25, and should (fingers crossed, touching wood) have 4 years no cliams.

Minimax - any advice???

Wowsers!

I have picked up 3 points since then, but I hope they are as accomodating for me!

or graham sykes, they also do a deal if your in the owners club.

That name tings a bell - I think it was them that gave me the quote before. I will go and ask them directly!

Cheers!

Not sure what they think the new G4 is though. Is it a classic? or a specialist?

And it must be garaged if it's specialist - but I don't have one

Though I may ask them both about the FTO while I'm there...

Waiting on G-S to get me a quote, and asked about the FTO too as they seem quite nice people.

MSM won't give me a quote on the classic insurance, but may do on the kit car insurance (which I feel is a little odd, but I don't make the rules).

GS will insure the FTO and they will do it for less than a tiny quantity of 600 fine English (sorry, British) pounds a year (about a third of my current preimium!)

The G4 would cost me £1004 a year, with the same sort of cover. This is about what I expected as it's a more expensive car, and costs more to fix the body if it gets pranged... Maybe I will carry on looking at Ginettas for an everyday car after all...
