Just bought a new EVO RWD to replace my LP610-4. My insurance company (Admiral) say that the new car is group 99 and so they won't cover it. They are telling me that the LP610 was group 50 and also that the new EVO 640-4 is group 50, but the RWD is 99? I've been on an Admiral multicar policy for a few years with Ferraris and my previous Huracan with no issues.

Has anyone a recommendation for a company to use? Has anyone had any similar issues insuring an EVO RWD?

thanks for any help!

thanks for the quick responses - I was told she had referred it to underwriting but that there'd be no-one there until Tuesday and, in the meantime, had to remove my car from the policy. Fingers crossed they come back at group 50 and things can stay the same, and I can drive it again.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Admiral - it's fingers crossed that they just group this (like other Huracans) in group 50 and this is just an anomaly! I just don't want the hassle factor of starting afresh with other quotes as Admiral have been good value thus far.

Oh. That sounds like it could be an issue, then. I'll keep you posted.

So, Admiral came back with a definitive no, so I'm now shopping about. Currently waiting for a quote from NFU and Manning. Fingers crossed. Tried Classic Insurance Services and Adrian Flux - both of whom would cover the car but it seemed inordinately expensive. The Lockton/Lamborghini Club policy includes a courtesy car/European cover that I don't really need, so I figured there would be a better value (to me, as I know the Lockton policy is very good) option out there.

I'm with NFU, and will know later today what their thoughts are on a Huracan RWD...
Not expecting problems, but that's why surprises are well-named!
It's all about specific circumstances, but my current NFU policy is considerably better value than that Admiral figure quoted.
(with Agreed values)
Did you hear back from NFU about a Huracan RWD?

Now sorted with NFU as of yesterday afternoon. Thanks to everyone for the tips and help here. What I thought was going to be a one phonecall job turned into a bit of a marathon.

It's a multicar - I'd got used to the 'neatness' of one payment and so was glad this worked out with them.
