am trying them now techie (the most annoying waiting voice in the world!) thinking about sticking a standard engine in for time being and binning off TA

I just phoned Adrian Flux about quote for SC VX, admittedly not modified to the hilt but still. They wanted £910 which was pretty good (25 year old, 10,000 mile) and that was through a company called 'Marker Study'?

I haven't tried them yet, but have you tried REIS?

Saw you fiddling with yours the other day when I drove past, you haven't SC'd it have you?!?

Fingers crossed that it doesn't come to that. Not after the work that's gone into it over the last 12+ months.

So in summary thus far..... £3k is cheapest

[The Batman]

i have more than 1 spare engine.

[AliM]

well start selling the spare parts to raise funds for insurance! i'm sure you have a whole vx in bits at yours!

[The Batman]

nothing like looking at a spreadsheet with a full list of costs for my vx... then realising i cant justify driving it. 3k is fecking rediculous it was 1600 back in may.. wish i insured it then.

[AliM]

it'll be ok, You were thinking of having it track only anyway so just trailer it for a while til the insurance comes down. It'll come round really fast, you'll be too busy doing TA to notice

[rob999]

Have you asked for an agreed value of your VX Joseph?

[The Batman]

too young for greenlight gave up on that one you said techie, getting them to ring me back on monday instead the thing is i need to run the engine in to do anything!

0% credit card to spread payments? Appreciate that doesn't overcome the ridiculous premium but perhaps a small way forward.

Have you tried http://www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk/ on limited mileage policy my stage 4 with 2 claims and 3 points was £350. I am old though.

Otherwise, here's an idea. I'll insure it for you and you leave it in my garage and I'll use it as my daily runaabout - then you can pop over and use it when you need it.

[ChrisS1]

I assume you're asking for low mileage and bumping up the excess to try and keep the costs down?

[The Batman]

yeah i can do that, ist just the fact that im going to drive to a trackday then drive it back then use it on the odd weekend... for 3k! to be honest i dont think im going to beat that quote until im 25
