HI everyone,

Guys can anybody recommend a good insurer for my 7, i keep getting quotes for companies i dont know but (call me old fashioned) but i like to be with a company that i recognise not 'big johns car cover'[:)].

i have had a quote from a company called '1st quote' for £77.60 fully comp and the RAC at £829[:0].

who should i be looking to get a quote from guys.

Cheers in advance
Stan.

When you have removed the impossible, the improbible how ever unlikely has to be the truth.

Do you have State Farm over there?
I use them for all my cars. The classics get a special rate but I'm limited on how much I can drive them (can't use them for daily work/school). The value is an agreed upon amount and the premiums reflect the value.

The TR Registers Towergate scheme is one of the best out there, especially if your a member.

I asked the very same question here and was recomended with peter s taylor . http://www.peterstaylor.co.uk/ They were sensible and proffessional.and best of all cheap.I did ask the meercats and some of the companies they found wanted £900 +.I have 5000 ltd miles,250 excess fully comp agreed value.£85.

I use Bishop Calaway / Peter Taylor who give me good service and a reasonable price (around £100) for 8k / year

Stan,

I would try them all, If you decide on Footman James this company gives discount to TR Drivers Club members.

The only down side I surpose is that the membership for the TR Drivers is £25 and again if you decide that towergate is the best quote you have to again remembers its £41 to join the register.

Its all swings and roundabout. Keep us all posted if either footman James or Towergate is the best value or not.

I can send you a enquirey pack if you want for the TR Drivers club, just send us a email with your address and i do the rest with a couple of the club mags for you to read.

RH Classic cars are good - nut i think they just broker it out to Equity Red Star - mine is just a summer 'add-on' to my other classic - costs ~ £9 per month to add the TR7 - for just 3 months it's not too bad.

Footman James here too just over a ton.
Lol the RAC are a bit on the high side

[nervousnewowner]

i'm insured through footman james, 127 fully comp, unlimited mileage, not needed to be garaged, can use back and fore to work, breakdown and limited european cover, quote was 200 just over before told them i was trdivers club member so the saving makes the membership fee well worth it for me,


the project at birth, watch it evolve...I hope...
