Tuscan Insurance claims

[ribol]

Had an interesting discussion with my insurance brokers today (Sunninghill) and I asked them why they no longer include breakdown cover, effectively increasing their premiums? Short answer, reason for an increase in the premiums - too many claims.
Some interesting statistics came up in the conversation that followed, more than half the cars on their books are Chims. The rest of the cars on their books in the TVR scheme obviously being all other TVRs ever made.

Fact - Tuscan drivers have made more claims than all the Chim drivers and all other TVR drivers put together.

That is an awful lot of bad luck. Or is it a little more than that, maybe there is some technical fault in the car that causes these claims? Pilot error maybe?

I was told the same story last year, which actually went along the lines of; lots of Tuscan claims, quiet a few grifmaera claims, very few S claims and they can't remember the last wedge claim.
Pays your money and takes your chance me thinks, or is it just inversely proportional to the speed capabilities of said vehicles .

I presume the Cerberas must be slow cars then? For some reason they do not suffer from similar statistics.

Maybe a bit too fast for an average Tuscan driver?

Can't recal the cerb being mentioned, which either means its soooo bad they won't take premiums on it or it's mixed up with the grifaera stats as a 2 plus 2 .

I had a similar chat with the guys at Sunninghill.

I think the upshot is that all the wild young things were buying Tuscans while all the doddery old gits have Chims.



Also with a Tuscan you REALLY want to be out in it all the time.
