S2000 insurance

[snorkel sucker]

It's been a few years since I sold my S2000 but I'm thinking about coming back to the fold.

I seem to recall paying £1200 back in 2006 however I'm now a good few years older (my age starts with a '3' now!) and have amassed sonora more no claims.

Anyway, I know the insurance group is high, but can anyone recommend an insurer who would offer a competitive price? The car will be used sparingly, as a weekend toy, so
minimal miles.

I know the usual suspects such as Adrian flux, greenlight and Noel dazely. Any others? If anyone could also advise whether they are 30+ and pay a reasonable premium that would be useful - I dont really want to ring round getting quotes if I can avoid it (for now at least, as in currently in 'searching' mode)

I've been with Sky Insurance for the past 4 years. Had my Prelude VTEC and now my S with them.

Although this year I've had to look around as the renewal went up by £60 - Flux beat them, but Sky have agreed to match Flux so I'm staying put!

Down to £580 fully comp, protected NCB, £300 xs, I'm old though (>35 <40yrs).

Good luck though as the S is now on the insurers blacklist due to younger muppets buying/crashing them!

I think my renewal was about £450 this year with admiral.

I am ancient though.

Thanks guys. £400-500 isnt too bad - hoping that a limited mileage policy may help too.

I loved mine when I had it but it was expense to insure back then. Now that they are very affordable, as you say, they make it into the hands of the younger crowd with the inevitable consequences.

Damn, I'm old (34) and an S2000 was still £900+ with admiral. Its cheaper to insure a Boxter S!

Just insured my new s2000 with admiral and it was about £550 fully comp protected, but again im old (43). Great cars though!

Got mine insured through "Classicline" for £305

Cheers.....Tony..

Daft question ... Do you need one of the early S2000s to be with them? (thinking along the 'classic' line of the name!)

That seems a reasonable price. I'm thinking I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get in touch with a few companies!

[tozerman]

No, is the answer, as it is insured under the "future classic" title, they said to me they would insure a brand new GT3 Porsche under the same method !!!

cheers.....tony..

[snorkel sucker]

Thanks Tony. Will give them a try.

I've got my S2k insured with Sky Insurance along with the VXR8. I could have it insured as modern classic insurance with another company and the premium was £290, although you have limited mileage and dont earn NCB with the classic insurance. The classic insurance did include travel to one place of work with it though.
