Recommendations for classic car insurance wanted

Ian Dalziel ( snipped-for-privacy@lineone.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

You think I let it go easily?

About £400 for four cars for me, with a daily driver.

FJ wanted £180 for a Slowlex for me. I don't have a bike licence, see. Not even a CBT.

(Not that I need one, as I've got full class P, but YOU try and persuade 'em that!)

Ian Dalziel ( snipped-for-privacy@lineone.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

My client has a "Get Parent" feature. Doesn't everybody's?

Likewise, but I did persuade them. A lot depends on your choice of vegetable.

Ian Dalziel ( snipped-for-privacy@lineone.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Like I said - if they're that bloody difficult when you want to GIVE tehm money, what the hell are they going to be like when you want to get money FROM them?

Fuck 'em. They want my business more than I want their policy.

I got a quote for £50 from elsewhere for the Slowlex anyway.

There is that - I've never made a claim. No reason for them to be difficult as opposed to dense, though - they're brokers, so it wouldn't be their money you were after.

I've had cars insured with them for most of the last twenty years. I have always found them helpful, friendly and efficient. One claim, which they settled very quickly. My 2CV is insured with them at the moment.

Ian

: VERY picky about what they would and wouldn't cover, slow on sending : paperwork, lost plenty of paperwork, typical call centre with script : readers not people that actually know about insurance.

That doesn't sound like the Footman James I use.

Ian

: They refused to even consider the 4x4 2cv, even with an engineer's report - : "It's modified, we don't insure modified cars"

They were happy to quote for an LPG-converted DS. Not low enough to have me take it up, but no fussing.

Try the Ferrari Owners Club for an owners club insurance quote

Clive

better.

Carole Nash are quite good. Lancaster not bad. Firebond...dunno, some swear by them. Is there no FPC (Ferrari Poseurs' Club) insurance scheme?
