25 Years old : R33 GTR with mods and having a nightmare finding a insurer, help !!

[Ahmed]

Hi there,

Well i have just turned 25 Years old, today on the 18th of Nov, and have decided to start finding insurance.

I have found a car which is a R33 GTR running around 500 BHP
It has Tracker Horizon , and the obvious Cat 1 Immobiliser,
I just seem to be getting silly quotes, the privilege has given a good quote as has tesco's via there website. However Liverpool Victoria did this also, but now when i call them they say we dont cover you unless your 29 on certain cars now!!

Im just kinda worried about how to declare my mods to them eg such and such percentage power gained or list all mods (this is what i have been doing)

*pulls hair out* need insurance so i can go pickup car hehe

Cheers all,
AK

Sorry guys , a bit outdated information there, GreenLight havent insured Skylines for over the last year, so I have just been told !

[Ahmed]

yeah i give them a call and they dont do skylines anymore
alot of insurers i have spoken to say they dont do skylines anymore or wont touch you unless your over 30 now that soo sucks! even the liverpool vic say now have to be over 30 on any group 19/20 cars now.

A couple of insurers who used to do skylines now dont, but offer special price to Scooby owners as part of some club deal they have with them, as long as they all refer that they are coming to them via the clubs recommendation or something like that.. doesnt seem like a bad idea at all that.

Regards,
Ak (still wandering around insurers looking for a decent quote)

Well thats me looking for a new insurer in Feb 03 then?

Unless they will only insure safe respectable drivers!

Were all safe Guvnor, I dont know what you mean by that comment, it was like this see * said in a bugsy malone voice *

Me thinks self incrimination is somewhere around here. !

I am looking around myself and to be honest A-Plan and also Cheam seem to be the best so far.

I think I must be doing the rounds today but ;

An Insurance policy which includes a BIMTA ( British Import Motor Trade Association ) certification also within its grasps I personally think takes the biscuit. Also The Excess being the lowest I have come to find so far also means these guys are in the lead at the moment for a new Policy.

A - 29
Excess - 450
Quote - 1020
Trakker & Cat 1 Alarm
Including Legal etc.

The thing that made my mind up is the BIMTA thingie if after you take out the policy they find out it was stolen the BIMTA people pay the value of your car back to you.

Not bad wish more insurance companies would take this up !

Cheers a few more questions if you don't mind..is your car garaged?, what car is it and any mods declared (if there are any)? and also what part of the country are you living?

Need the info if Greenlight won't renew!
