Insurance
« on: May 10, 2011, 07:43:30 pm »
Can anyone recommend an insurance company that will sell me a reasonably priced limited mileage policy or similar for the G?

Because the G is relatively low mileage and in very good nick I only want to use it at weekends in the summer as a second car... Can't justify insuring it for 500-600 quid when I'll only be doing minimal mileage.

I was thinking if it would work out cheaper using day insurance but its a bit of a ball ache getting it insured everytime I wanna take it for a blast  :-\

wont be good for everyone, there's no way around just ringing as many as you can.  comparison sites are useless, especially for modified or slightly out of the ordinary stuff.

adrian flux are good for many too but they don't like my postcode

Sky Insurance for me, though Flux/HIC have been good in the past. Brentacre wanted over 5 times what Sky quoted for my Polo last year!

You could look into classic car insurance if you have another car as your daily driver. (I think Adrian Flux do classic insurance.)

Do all G40's come under as a classic car on insurance?

I think generally anything 10-12 years + is classed as a classic. From what I remember of trying to get classic insurance when I was younger, typically a lot of companies won't insure under 21's on a classic policy (this was 6yrs ago)
