Well that would depend wouldn't it!

If the car was kept on the street overnight in the middle of a city, and you had zero no claims, several accidents in the last 3 years, and a string of motoring convictions then it would be cheap.



How about some information about the risk that they are covering:

No Claims?
Experience of RWD sports cars?
Garaged?
Convictions?
Location?

Just ring each of the companies in the TVR Insurance wiki. You're bound to find someone with a reasonable offer

It's the mileage that does me. Enjoy driving mine too much so have unlimited. Full NCB, but 4 points on the licence (another 6 yikes which are about 4 years old but they told me they don't count them). About £800.

They quoted me £4000+ (didn't actually give the exact number) which is more than I would spend on the S I was after!



I am 23 though...


ETA got a great quote from MSM on their kit car policy

Surprised at that
My renewal was in April & AF were very competitive on price. A good 40% less than my then current insurer.
Tam, agreed value, similar age;), 9+ NCB, fully comp, <£350

Flux only quoted me £80 more a year for the Tamora than I pay on a 12 year old diesel polo.

and theve done my Boxsta well too!

So I suggest each company may have a saving dependant on your circs and the veh insured.
Hasnt that always been the case?

Ring around each year is my advice. Staying loyal doesnt work both ways!

You have to shop around. Now 47, max NCD, no points, on drive, no trackdays, 5,000 miles p.a.
My first year i.e. no RWD experience with Heritage hence £460 (increased to £560 as I upped the mileage). Second year £287 with Adrian Flux and this year £260 with A-Plan. The renewal quotes have been a joke - several hundreds more than the previous year but within a few phone calls I've so far got it down to what I think are acceptable levels.

I'd second that, I got my renewal and although not a bad price it had gone up £50 on last year for no reason, so Sprint in hand I had a day off work and rang everyone in it, some were higher, some were lower, than I tried a company I was with a few years ago and they blasted everyone out the water.
