biggerbigben 0 Posted January 8, 2006 that will be some drive home! (or are you trailerering it home, just in case there are any other problems with the car?) Will trailer it home.. Its ready for an MOt though so I would be happy to drive it home but it aint tax'd, MOT'd or no insurance yet... (that keeps OSV happy :wink:) Will hopefully get an MOT the following weekend... Then have that nice conversation with my insurance company.. Paul you might be a good person to ask this actually, I have about 4 months left on my current policy, whats the best way to go about insuring it... certainly for the first couple of months I will only want to use it the odd day here and there on weekends.. what you reckon?

PhatVR6 0 Posted January 8, 2006 not a clue mate, mines not insured taxed or MOT'd either! got a similar dilemma myself. I've "used up" my no claims on my 4 motion (quite how you "use up" a time based bonus I don't know but that's what the insurance says), so I',m a bit stuck what to do. My 4mo was insured as an R32, because that's what it was. now I know there's shit all change of me getting any money back off them by tellig them it's now a stock 2.8 again, so I could really do with tranferring the policy over to the corrado. BUT, then I'm stuck with having to insure a £10K 4 year old 150mph car with no no claims. I can't win. bastard insurance, I hate it. got the bike to insure too. greedy feckers, I can't drive/ride them all at once!! The only advice I can give it get it insured and go for a linited mileage policy, limit it really low... or lie about your milage when you ring them so you get a cheap forst year out of them as you won't be using it that much.

Furkz 0 Posted January 8, 2006 wont they work out the mileage from the MOT is they do a check in the case of an accident or something? (not wishing anything bad on you or ben btw) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 8, 2006 ben your car is lickable, yes i mean lickable :-) its faultless in all aspects , respect for the work you've done and the patience it must have took insurance :-( i can only suggest spending at least half a day phoning around ,i was suprised direct line were they best for me , i gotprices from £1200 to £300 ! how the feck do they price that ! both my bike and car are due in the next few months ,how the hell you insure yours is beyond me, i've got quite a bit done to the bike and i told them to price it with an aftermarket end can (to test the water) and they wanted an engineers report lmao paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted January 8, 2006 elephant let you use your no claims on 2 cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I wouldn't want to lie about my insurance for the C as so much effort has been put into it and therefore so much can be lost. BUT, I'm not taking out a new policy on it until I know its ready and realible to drive daily! As that would be a waste of money. I just need to be able to insure it on the odd day here and there, I'm with elephant at the moment so i might just call them and see whats what! God insurance is a nightmare! My problem is that my insurance renewal is about May and I don't want to insure 2 cars. I might just swap the policy over to the C every once in a while, that will annoy Elephant! Anyway I think elephant don't insure for mods.. they insure for mods but if you crash your car they don't pay out for the mods.. i.e. no agreed value.. I'll find out anyway soon!

Blue_Joe 0 Posted January 8, 2006 For that you need to get it on a fixed value insurance policy, which means getting an independant assessment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
