Confused.com are currently running a £1m lottery for requesting a quote. In an idle moment, of which I have many these days, I entered the details of the E to see what sort of quote I could get.
The email I received back said that they had contacted 97% of insurers, and not one was prepared to quote. They listed 20 - reasons included "won't quote on modified cars", "don't do classics", "registered keeper must be the same as the owner", "won't quote if previously declined" etc. Fair enough; I was strictly accurate in all the details I gave; probably could have done better by fudging things a bit, but thought it better to play straight.
Where it all disappeared into fairyland and gave me the giggles was that one of the companies who declined to quote was the one which has actually insured the car for the past ten years. Ho, hum. Good stuff, this interweb.
