breakdown cover
After breaking down on my first trip out yesterday (at the end of the street thankfully) I decided to buy some breakdown cover. I phoned a few paces
today but they all said no. Who covers kit cars?

The AA was one of the places that said "no". Perhaps they will if you normal car is covered by them.

Try your insurer - I got my insurance through Adrian Flux and breakdown cover (including recovery and European) was an extra £40-ish

Try Moneysupermarket
I'm covered for any car I drive, full cover, for £25 a year. I pay the recovery company and I then claim back from the insurers.

Thinking about it, my breakdown insurance was set up for my tin-top, but covers my Locost as well (and has done, on SVA day!). I don't know how
they'd respond if I tried to set it up for the Locost only.
Adrian Flux tried to sell me breakdown cover as well - their price was competitive, but I don't know if that was solely in conjunction with my
vehicle insurance.

Were with the RAC and have been recovered once.
When we told them we would need recovering and what kind of car it was, they even sent the lowest loading truck they had with planks etc to get low
cars on.
The bloke was quite relieved when when he realised it wasn't that low with sideskirts etc, all they'd passed on to him was that it was
some sports car they'd never head of so be prepared lol.
(Indykid happened to be passing lol, not the best way to see your first Indy lol)

I've been with the AA for *ages* and they've quite happily recovered the Fury.
Only trouble I had was getting cover for abroad as the car is marked as First Registered in 1980 - now always get it from the brokers when I take out
my insurance policy.

Just had a quote from Footman James for the Luego, 12 months fully comp. 1500 miles/year but this can be changed at any time, myself and 1 named
driver including UK/European breakdown recovery and legal protection £171.15.
It covers for a booked MOT inspection and SVA including cover for the return trip if it fails.

We got RAC cover over the Internet. Never asked the type or anything just the Reg. As it's first reg in 2004 the cover was very cheap. We got
recovered back from France and they were great. Also told me to get in touch with the manufacturer as it should still be under warranty! I told them
the manufacturer was already informed.
