Adrian Flux
Originally got a quote from them and they wanted £500!
Told them someone else got theirs from them for a similar car but with 2 engines and 300hp for only £270. (thanks Russ).
They dropped their quote to £268 for fully comp, 3000 limited, £250 comp excess, guaranteed value of £13000. It included £13 for extra passenger
cover and Road Rage!
I got a quote from Graham Sykes for £228.15 for the same. (except for the extra £13 cover)
Went back to Adrian Flux and asked them about their price match and they let me have the insurance for £223 (includes the road rage cover!) and
smaller £200 excess.
So the moral is, never accept your first quote and always haggle!
I saved £277!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That will cover my roadtax for a couple of years and fill my tank twice!

Well done. i also play one off against the other.
The only thing to do now is ring them back and secure a 2 year deal for £350
Osbournes came up trumps for me.

Although it took me 6 1/2 years from scratch, I already have another build in waiting! (I have already got £1000 worth of parts)
So this car will not make it to the 2 year insurance deal!

I'm 28 and was quoted £270 for 3000 mile limited mileage fully comp, £6k agreed value on 200hp 2ltr vauxhall XE powered 7 by a company whose
bloody name is now eluding me but they do lots of kit insurance!!!
That's not including any no-claims as it is a second car, by the way.
