called axa my current insurer to get a quote for a MR2 turbo and they said nope because 'it's to high a group for my age' bollocks!
anyone know anyone else i can try? looking at it being a quote of about a grand! but it is a group
20 car i think...Don't mention the turbo...
Try Liverpool Victoria.
nope because 'it's to
grand! but it is a group
If you're under 30, then forget it. Even over 30s can expect to be shafted roughly from behind.
Isn't the Turbo an import only model? - Group 20 Import. It's not going to be cheap.
but that voids it doesn't it? although axa asked if it was right hand drive and didn't seem to care it was a turbo.
might try adrian flux
In article , snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com spouted forth into uk.rec.cars.modifications...
Too young aint he?
I think as soon as the registration number gets on their computers, they will know the original spec. of the car. They will happily insure you if you say it is not a turbo car ..... because when you stuff it, they have a nice readymade getout clause!!!!
A bit like people who insure a small car fully comp .... then drive around in a much more powerfull car under the same policy.
Pretending to not understand the bit "The policyholder is insured to drive any other car providing that car is not leased to, or owned by him/her"
Well how are you as a simple user suposed to know about all these fangled turbots (fish?) and stuff??? Errrr technically yes....
22 :(
Fit a briggs and stratton. It will still look cooooooool???
My mate Dave, (mematedave) had one (still here on my server)

O bugger that wont work will it....
Right try
Dog slow old bit of kit though. My old repmobile destroyed it.
Forgot to mention you have to click on "lara" !!! Stupid site.
And he is a right old tart...
All of them.
Seriously - phone every single insurance company you can possibly find. Eventually, you'll find one that's remotely reasonable.
my mate is 25 ish and had the full fat turbo, insured for 600 fc. along side a 200hp r5 turbo, then 3dr Cossie, now escie cossie 320bhp. I liked the mr2 shame he sold it for the cossie........
hey seen that car on imoc. someone added a pic of kermit in the drivers seat to it once but i can't find the pic now, never mind :)
seat to it once but i can't
Whats imoc???
At a guess... International Mr2 Owners Club ?
MR2 club imoc.co.uk
guess right
*smug*
drive and didn't seem to care
Adrian Flux will insure anyone on anything IME. But you pay the price (sometimes in terms of money, but always in terms of being insured by a crap company!)
As a 22 year old too i found Tesco were the cheapest for anything i was getting quotes for.
