Discussion
Right i've been to look at a lovely 575 which i really fancy but thing i have found frightening so far is insurance. Directline (people who do my 911) are talking about £9.5k which is kinda steep.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm 29 and live in london SE16 with the car parked in an underground carpark.
Thanks
Alistair

Hmm, that's a point. Any ideas or guestimates as to how much more, if any, a '94 348 will be over my Griff? They are both the same insurance group and I would have thought the GRP TVRs cost more to fix body work than even the Ferraris.
I am 41 and only use it for weekends, kept in a garage, live in a quiet village and only do about 6 or 7k a year.
I currently pay £650 on my 5 litre TVR Griffith.
If I'm going to be into several thousands for the priviledge of having a Ferrari in the garage then I guess it'll be a Tuscan after all!

Burriana, as you are over 30 I suggest you give Liverpool Victoria a call. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Look no further than Stuart Eden at First Point. I'm paying less than half that on my Gallardo and I'm a baby (27) compared to an old sod like you!
01604 499 799 - Good luck
Mark Abbott at Cheam would be my next point of call (google him to get number).
Fcuk me, 27 and a Gallardo.
... I can boast 34 and a well-used MR2
Good on you!
Thanks to this thread managed to get nearly £500 off my insurance.
I had searched on quoteonline.com (or similar)and forked out £1233 for the Mas 3200 which I was supposed to be collecting from Swindon today but that's another story .
I contacted Liverpool Victoria after reading this thread and they wanted £750 with hardly any of the questions asked by other online insurance companies. Most of 'em add money for speeding fines, would you believe? I mean just cos you've been caught doing 33 past a 30mph speed camera doesn't mean you're a liability!!! (OK, mine was 94.5 past a policeman with a laser gun on the M40, but it all comes down to the same thing )
I had to pay £12 to cancel the first one, but it was well worth it.
Thanks again.

Hi Daz,
Just to add, that I now use Nowell and Richards (can't recommend Richard enough, fantastic bloke) <a href="http://www.nowellandrichards.co.uk.">www.nowellandrichards.co.uk.</a>
As a comparison, my current policy cost me around £2.7K per annum, with a highish excess. 2003 360 Spider, Aged 25, no accidents, 8 yrs NCB, no points and living in London.
Try going with a higher excess as you probably won't claim for anything less than a grand or so anyway and it could help reduce your premium quite considerably.
A Plan were also very competitive, with a very similar price. The difference was the mileage was restricted.
