Specialist car insurance (UK)

by Panda • 4 Apr 2008, 17:38 • Journals
Does anyone know any decent companies? I tried going through Adrian Flux because I know a guy who's 21 and has insured a Skyline r34 for £800 but after being redirected 5 times they said they couldn't help me after I told them I was looking to be covered in over a months time.
Trying to insure a standard Ford Probe 2.0l 16v:

True, but it's either this car or the piece of French shit Saxo I got T_T
Can't wait until I'm old enough to insure decent cars \o/

in Germany it's possible to let your parents make the insurance with you being able to use it as well.

just watch out for some of these online insurance companies if you find a decent one you've never heard of id have abit of a nosey to find out whether there legit quite a few fly-by scams at the mo mate.
can i just ask why a probe mate? group 16 insurance for such an old car plus heavy on juice plus not that nippy tbh, you'll be payin a fortune runnin it?

I still drive the car on odd days, petrol isn't too bad on it right now compared to my shitty Saxo (westcoast), it's just a reliable car for the time being while I search for a new one.
Been eyeing up a mk2 escort, honda civic (old) and a mk2 toyota mr2 :)

£800 on an R34 and he's 21? No fucking way man.

That Ford Probe is possibly the ugliest car i've ever seen too. :P

Panda 4 Apr 2008, 20:09
driving since 17 = 4 years no claims + motorbike no claims etc put into 1.

The probe is quite ugly, especially a stock one :P
Interior is nice though, electric seats and all that jazz makes them feel like bucket seats once you adjust it right o/

At your age, I'd insure it trough your parents as it will be way cheaper.

go for the mark2 escort myself very good cars and well built but you'll strugle to get hold of a proper original one tho as most are fucked or have had more filler then an 80 year old prostitute, id go for a mk3 rs 2000 if you can your hands on a good one
