VAG-hag 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Brentacre are likely to be getting my business for the Turbo insurance. I really like their attitude and approach after speaking with 2 of thier guys this afternoon. I suggested an agreed value of £8k considering the engine, paint and the rest of the mods :) Now I just need my car back..... roll on next month!!

VR6matty 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Great stuff, how much for the premium tho? :) I have tried em all but only seemed to get a decent offer from HIC/Adrian Flux I am less than £1 per bhp now :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted March 9, 2015 Wow matty thats good I use brentacre too to be fair too as were very helpful and flix was trying to fleece me even though been with them for over ten years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6matty 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Wow matty thats good I use brentacre too to be fair too as were very helpful and flix was trying to fleece me even though been with them for over ten years Yea I was certainly happy at renewal time for once! :D I am only with Flux as I normally play them off against HIC but this time the made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I switched there and then same company basically anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 9, 2015 Great stuff, how much for the premium tho? :) I have tried em all but only seemed to get a decent offer from HIC/Adrian Flux I am less than £1 per bhp now :D Well congratulations on such a reasonable quote. That's really good! However it just goes to show what utter horse**** insurance is in this country. I actually got refused insurance from specialist insurers who even advertise on this very forum, on my VR because "it had modifications" (lowered a bit, and a remap - crazy I know) and "was not kept at the home address" (never mind it's in a locked garage, with access only via a very tall heavily locked gate) - and I only wanted to do 3,000 miles a year. I have no claims, no accidents, no endorsements... Yet you're able to insure a 400HP turbo Corrado with modifications adding up to thousands and thousands of pounds for It's infuriatingly stupid.

That is ludicrous Jim, however I must admit when it was first turbo'd there was a few occasions where I was told there wasn't anything they could do. One or two of those I had even contacted prior to having it done! Like you say some of these specialist insurers are not worth the price of the phone call. I absolutely despise the whole industry primarily as there is no consistency in it whatsoever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Great stuff, how much for the premium tho? :) I have tried em all but only seemed to get a decent offer from HIC/Adrian Flux I am less than £1 per bhp now :D So far the best price is £450 with brentacre which I thought very reasonable and £100 less than hic. The approach was much better too. I may call flux just to see what they say. My original target was £500 but may have to get inline with you Matt. :) Edited March 10, 2015 by VAG-hag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Jim that is crazy! Would a classic policy suit your needs? Classic line were great to deal with when car was na but with other mods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My original target was £500 but may have to get inline with you Matt. :) 450 is not bad at all mate, my first year of insurance post install was atleast 800! But I was a bit younger then :) it's steadily come down year on year. You will need to keep going less than 350 is your new target Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 It cost 350 without the turbo mate so I thought 500 was a fair target! Other factors are car is kept away from home. The benefits of living in leafy Surrey eh? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Or I could ask for 450bhp.... Therefore £1 per bhp to insure:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 10, 2015 It was a classic policy I was trying to get! I should ring Classic Line - have used them before. Got a reasonable price from Peter D James of about £250.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 £250 sounds good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Crikey!! It seems there is no continuity! Well I went with Brentacre in the end.... happy chappy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6matty 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Or I could ask for 450bhp.... Therefore £1 per bhp to insure:) :) That's more like it, 450 is an excellent price congrats mate. Give it a couple of years of good clean turbo fun and it will come even lower hopefully. mmm 450Bhp now there is a recipe for a new engine/gearbox :) cant hurt can it?
