Why is it so expensive.......
Discussion
hmm, that is a bit much. SOrt of wiped out the savings?
LHD is no problem on our roads, given half a brain! the insurers obviously see LHD as dangerous, so price accordingly. My Smart is lhd, and has 1/3 the power of your TT. But the insurance is about 300 quid. Which actually I think is a bit steep....
Sorry, can't really help, apart from the usual "try every company" approach. BTW, a lot of the firms that insure Yank Tanks and classics will cover you for less, I would imagine.

try limited mileage policies. I have been quoted less than £500 for a Caterham on 5000 miles per year.
also try specialist insurance companies not the usual suspect like direct line. It might be a case of having a look in EVO or trying some sportscar dealers and asking who they recommend. They are cheap policies out there its a case of hunting and not giving up.....and are you really considering a TT over an Elise?

What happened to the Lotus Elise then Umar?
The Elise is DEFINATELTY still coming, i was just doodling about on the internet and a i saw a LHD TT go for £13k, i thought 'fcuk me thats cheap, i get an insurance quote' to see if if it was worth my while, boy was i wrong!
i took my works colleges Opel VX220 for a drive (with him in it) which made me see that i NEED a lotus elise!

So he was the one who bought a VX220 then!
Yeah, and he is pleased with it, i think that the opel model sounds better when having a conversation, i.e.
BLOKE A "I HAVE A OPEL SPEEDSTER"
BLOKE B "OOOOHHHHHH!!!"
COMPARED TO:
BLOKE A "I HAVE A VAX...[inturuption from bloke b]"
BLOKE B "hhhaahhh ahahaahaha hahaha a
i think you lot get the picture!...

Yikes !! Hope CarZee doesn't read this!!
Oh, BTW, his TT beat whatever yours is on Drivel the other week. See thread titled "Last Night's Drivel"
I don't want to start yet another debate on the TT, but one tried to follow me while I was driving the Elise through a country lane. I took a corner quickly, looked behind only to see it lurching & understeering toward the hedgerow. That's all I have to say on the subject...
After watching that program on BBC2 2nite there seems to be quite a market for prestigous LHD cars,Even though unfare this is probably why the hick the Ins prices up,as is the same for most sportsbikes the market for stolen Fairings etc is unbelievable because the Honda etc change so bloody much for new ones theres amarket for used ones(ie stolen).
Vicous circle and who pays u and me.
