V8 Viento Insurance
Irony - 4/8/15 at 04:15 PM

Had a quote for my 3.9l Viento at £228 for the year with a 2K limit. Value of 8K - 10K. After searching on here I thought it would be less than that. This was with A-Plan.

Anyone got anything cheaper?

That's alot off engine though! Can't moan at that price?

True but I was kind of expecting 180ish from other people on here.

My Fury is age registered as 1976 and qualifies for a classic policy, somewhere around £122. A-Plan dug that out for me.

Look at it this way, that's £40 more than you were expecting, which is a shocking 77p a week. Is that worth stressing over?

Insured the MK with the Jag V6 for £10 less than the bike engine, around £150 with Adrian Flux. 5000mile limit and £10000 value.

I pay around that much.
4.6l stage 2 v8 developments
9k miles per year
agreed value, now at 13k. not bad considering i've done 40k miles in it.

I pay £280 for my 1.8 4 cylinder

I am only 23 though.

lucy - 4/8/15 at 09:49 PM

I pay half that for 4.0 ltr westy with A plan. But i am old and only 1000 miles.
Do you have add ons like recovery and Not parked in locked garage?

No it's not worth stressing over. But this is Locostbuilders. I am trying to do stuff as cheaply as possibly. I like getting a good deal.

I am 34, 9 years no claims. Quiet quiet village. Locked garage in a locked compound. Insurance on 2 other vehicles and a fleet of works vehicles. No recovery. I am going to phone some more suppliers to get competitive quotes

for my 3.5lv8 Xtreme the actual insurance premium for this year was £135

I'm 38, no claims, and this is with a 3yrs no claims bonus
£100 excess
3000miles
commuting to work. (only 2.5 miles away)
able to leave on the drive at home.

this is in KT3 SW London.

I had to add a further 1000 miles on it and that cost me another £75 !

this is with Adrian Flux, and ontop of that price I add on the legal protection, breakdown cover etc.. so it goes up by another ~100quid.


I'd hunt around and call a few more insurers, tell them you are a member of a kit car club too, sometimes helps.

I think it's the Worthing Branch of A Plan that the Westfield Club deal with. Check out the Westfield forum.

prawnabie - 5/8/15 at 09:13 AM

Its the Thatcham Branch

Irony - 5/8/15 at 10:24 AM

It is the Thatcham Branch of A-Plan. Ring them direct as its easier.

However phoned Adrian Flux. £168.12 for similar insurance!

Sorry for the incorrect info that I gave. Must be all the paint fumes I'm sniffing!

Was that including your Luego owners club discount?

Hi,
Just out of curiosity was our premium the most competitive that you've had?

Dan.

Yup, but I only phoned A-Plan and AF. I asked A-Plan for a better quote but they couldn't match it.

craig1410 - 15/8/15 at 05:12 PM

I pay £130 for 3000 miles with agreed value around £4-5k (forget exactly). This is for a 3528cc Rover V8 engine. I'm 42 with 6 points on license although 3 come off next month and the other 3 in February (I had a few month of bad luck after 10 years with a clean license... ) This is with Backford Bloor ( http://www.kitcar-insurance.co.uk ) I've been with these guys since before my SVA test and can't fault them at all.
