    Was that with the mods declared? With no mods the quick quote came out at £87 for me.

    I went elsewhere in the end, as my renewal was on the 18th March and they wouldn't even amuse me because its over 100% increase. But will be speaking in a few months about a standard car though as I know you can do great deals with those

    Well not running the 1.4 engine but lively to say the least Nice power in that car, been in a few fast Skylines running around that sort of power surprised how well it goes. Makes me want to change my BMW to an M3 but knowing insurance and petrol will be a killer saying that mines the 2.8 and kills it already well will sort out couple of months and have 3 cars to insure

    We don't specifically exclude roll cages, we do have some members insured who do have roll cages fitted.

    It depends alot of what other modifications have been done to the car and each request will be looked at on a 'case by case' basis.

    Do bear in mind that we are a specialist classic broker. If you're looking to cover a stripped out, roll caged, race car with massive increases in bhp then there are other specialists more suited to this.

    On classic policies we are very competitive but, like any other broker, can't be all things to all people

    Re: Insurance quotes

    I'll be looking soon as I'm with the AA at the mo, I think the engine swap & rollcage I've added over the last few months will be a no-no with them

    So who are the best to go with when using a rollcage & engine swap ?

    They dont particular care about the full work into the engine apart from what the engine came from and the power increase of it. Then the basics of interior, suspension, wheels, brakes etc etc.

    Re: Insurance quotes

    ive just had a quote from footman james, £122.

    i have one question though, it says the car must be garaged between the hours of 10pm to 6am! so if im out in the car inbetween these times will it invalidate my insurance?
    im not particularly keen on this restriction.

    Hi

    No, it just means that when the car is parked at the home address between those hours it must be in a locked garage. If you're out in it or staying overnight elsewhere that's fine.
