Insurance

[vroom]

I don't want to re-open the 'Independent' thread again, but its renewal time for my Chim.

I not too happy about paying the whole premium up front as I did with Independent last time and I was wondering if there are equivalent polices (2nd car limited miles, NCB on main car) that allow you to pay by installments?

Any ideas?

Nick.

Try Sunninghill Insurance Brokers in Bagshot.
They are referenced on the Fernhurst TVR dealers website and their number is 01276 474 844. I have found them to be extremely helpful and reasonably priced. Not sure if they do a monthly payment option tho.

Good luck

Read the small print. I understand that those who were paying monthly (through a broker) to Independent were legally still liable for the full premium, although I don't think I'd have been the first in the queue to pay the balance...

Recommend Sunninghill, been with them years, S2, Griff and Lotus Esprit (OK you live and learn) and now my Cerb, all through them no hassle and nothing is too much trouble, Andy/Malcolm good blokes to deal with.
Various options for payment but as TVR speacialist you get amazing discounts Esprit verus Cerb over 250 GBP less includes track days, breakdown (Handy !!!) etc

I know you really should buy your weekly shop there but I got insured on my Cerb S6 through TESCO. very very competitive, even a beter rate than independent who I was with until they went pop. try tesco.com or .co.uk

I'm with direct line. I'm 24, have a tuscan s6, 7yrs protected, DA(Darftford) shite area!!, tracker and parked in my garage at night, post code about £1,100.00 all in £500.00 excess though, but over 25's go down to about £350.00 I think.

I use Sunninghill Insurance in Bagshot. They allow me to use my Golf's NCB for my Chimaera, and with one start-up initial payment, they set up a DD for the balance over the year. Two excess options, and it includes track days, UK and European RAC assistance, green card, etc. Very helpful people

Thanks for the replies, Im waiting for Andy at Sunnighill to return my call.

I duuno, been with them 3yrs, had a motorsport conv BMW before and was paying £900. have got 9mths insurance left and they asked for about £220 extra. I asked if that was prorata and they said no it would have been the same as all year as most was admin. So it may even be less, me aint ganna argue though

quadcat - 24 and you have a tuscan S6! before that you had a conv m'sport beemer! was your first car a 355?

have you won the lottery mate?

signed 1 jealous b'stard!

I thought "Quadcat1 .....How ???? " aswell.

Only I was thinking "How can he afford a Tuscan at the age of 24 !"

It took me 30+ years to be able to aford my TVR.

Quadcat1, what do you do for a living or to aford these cars ?
Or is it just a case of not having a wife to spend all your money.

[pbrettle]

Just bought my first TVR and got insurance of a Chimp 4.0 for two drivers (me and wifey) on business class one - to and from work, as well as other places of work. All for £700 via Elephant.co.uk.

Possibly could have got it cheaper but have other Elephant insurance policies and everything comes out cheap.... Do note that the TVR online list is not complete so you do have to phone them at 60p per minute (best to get them to call you back!).

P.S. Tescos insurance is actually DirectLine (as it Privilege) and Elephant.co.uk is Admiral. Just in case anyone is interested. Oh, and DirectLine dont want to do Business Class insurance.
