i rang Frank Pickles insurance as doing it online they use a different underwriter costing more, for my piddly little 893cc blade its only £84.90 F/C,
parts only, 2k miles per year with european cover, mind you i'm in my forties, no endorsements amazingly & live in sleepy Devon & theres
no agreed value on this policy so taking a risk. Of course I have no idea of their track record on pay out day........anyone have anything bad to say
about them as sounds to good to be true?

Ive just insured mine with them. Theyr underwritten by LV.

I got a quote on a guaranteed value of £9k.
Told them about the supercharged 2L and everything, will cost me £167 with a 5k mile limitation, parts only.

That third party and parts to yours or just parts to yours ?
andyfiggy2002 - 4/3/11 at 12:11 AM
i would assume if its agreed value its F/C, funny as they told me they don't do agreed value hence my concerns, i don't want to pay £85,
write the thing off & have them pay me pennies considering i suffer from upgrade-litess

Thats fully comprehensive.
Just to clarify, i told them that it would cost me 9k to replace the car if it ever went missing or was written off. I doubt id get that, but it
increases the chances.
They have incremental thresholds for the valuation, and 9K was as far as i could go before the next % increase. For example, driving to and from work
would cost me an additional 5%.
andyfiggy2002 - 4/3/11 at 09:46 AM
just rang them,
underwriter is Highway otherwise known as LV which i didn't know as used Highway in past,
THEY DO NOT DO AGREED VALUE only for caterhams
they are willing to to members only discount but ask who is the person to contact here so maybe that person would like to contact FP to get a further
discount for you boys
as regards reassurance even though this is 4 x 4 read this
LINKY
Benzo, they dont do NI but even so your age has a bearing, im double your age remember!!
Makeeverything, cant help noticing your cars a renault 21 supercharged mid engine car, as this is a BEC forum........!!

yeh, i mentioned this to FP, said even though NI is in UK British insurance companies don't like NI!!! its a bit like Isle of Man having
independent government/ tax haven/ rules etc then saying if we have another major war can we be part of UK so you can protect us plse!!!

Sureteam want £450 for the same arrangement 
Back to Adrian Flux i guess..
andyfiggy2002 - 4/3/11 at 06:03 PM
mine sits idle in a safe area during the winter months & comes out to play apr- sept hence the 6 mth issue, if were given the option of 6 mth tax
at least give us the OPTION of 6 mth driving insurance maybe with 6 mth laying up insurance considering these are supposed to be specialist kitcar
policies tailored for our needs not your everyday ordinary car owner with his heating, windscreen & rain gear. Besides after 6yrs full NCB you
don't accrue any additional NCB anyhow so i aint worried about losing out on NCB, these companies understand these types of cars are mostly
driven during summer & are our 2nd car or does making a fast buck spring to mind!!
