antz Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Im coming up for renewal on my insurance on the terracotta terror and need to delare the new engine. Who would you guys recommend to go to for insurance and are they any extra quirks I can pull to try and get it cheaper? By the way im 20 years old with a escort mk2 4 door 1.3 ghia running a 1700cc xflow with lowered and uprated suspension. Any ideas?
richie_stix Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 i found lancaster really cheap on my capri... to be honest, i never made a claim so couldn't tell ya what they are like to deal with? i like a low premium though! what engine you got antz? cos my capri, now a 2ltr, i have told the DVLA so as far as incsurance is concerned it's now a 2ltr lazer, not a 1.6.... so doesn't count as modded!
antz Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Posted April 29, 2009 gotta be 21 or over for lancaster insurance. bloody car insurance is gonna be the death of me. I either cant get insured or its astronomically expensive.
rsdaz Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 wen i was 22 i used sure term direct and paid £440 on a mk1 rs2k with a 2.2 pinto in it,now im 24 and pay £170 with heritage which i was well happy with.

A few of us have had very competitive quotes so far http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=95759 gotta be over 25 Ive just rang sureterm and they came back with a respectable £498 which isnt too bad. Gonna try adrian flux, HIC and Performance direct tonight and see what they can give me and write each quote down til I need it in a couple of weeks.
richie_stix Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 might sound obvious, so don't take this as a dig or anything... but moneysupermarket? got me the best quotes for all my capri related insurance, use em every year my renewal comes up (normally about 100-200 more than it was the year before! )

Not a bad quote but the excess was about £500 which takes the piss.
richie_stix Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 what exaclty are you insuring? you got points or something? your 20, not a bad age? car is old and that makes things cheaper?

My excess is 400 and in over 25, the excess on the fezz is about 350, i dont tend to worry about the excess as long as I get my peice of paper thats worth a fortune and I bent over to get
antz Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Posted April 29, 2009 what exaclty are you insuring? you got points or something? your 20, not a bad age? car is old and that makes things cheaper? As said in my first post: By the way im 20 years old with a escort mk2 4 door 1.3 ghia running a 1700cc xflow with lowered and uprated suspension. No points, crashes, claims or health problems. 3 years no claims. Its not as bad as i expected..i was expecting to pay £800+ and its looking at around £400-500 with my first two quotes....still you cant blame me for wanting to try and get it as physically low as possible.
