Egger Lawson - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

moleman · 24th January 2008, 11:39 AM

I had to call EL yesterday to sort out my new windscreen.

Turns out Steve Hallam, who used to be the bloke to speak to there, has left the company. He has been replaced by a guy named Steve Bird.

New Steve told me that EL are not taking any new business on heavily modified Skylines. Existing customers can continue to renew their Demon Tweeks policies.

If I'm honest, new Steve didn't seem half as well informed as old Steve.

that's a shame - although I never used them, I understand many others did.

Jags · 24th January 2008, 12:40 PM

Let us know how long it takes for them to sort you out with a new screen. My insurance have been "sorting" mine since end of October beginning of November 2007

Gez · 24th January 2008, 01:04 PM

Yeah i used them for all my japanese cars as they were by far the cheapest to cover modifications. I know what you mean re steve. He does seem a bit clueless.
They will miss out on a lot of business as a consequence as the new skyline starts to roll in.

I have had an agreed value policy for £25k with them on my R33 GTR...

Seem to be ok with the dealings/renewals i have had with them.

Bajie · 25th January 2008, 10:44 AM

What about trackday only insurance?

Snowfiend · 25th January 2008, 11:38 AM

Oh dear....did they say why they're not doing high mods anymore Iain ?

Steve Hallam used to do a lot of stuff behind the scenes, shame he's left.

moleman · 25th January 2008, 11:54 AM

It goes back to them changing insurers last year.

Track insurance is still OK as far as i know.

moleman · 19th February 2008, 02:20 PM

A bit more of an update.

The man to speak to for track insurance is Wayne Rowland.

He has taken over in that department.

ALL track insurance had been suspended as new staff were assessed by the underwriters. UK tracks are now OK again, but the 'Ring and Spa are still pending. They hope to hear in a few weeks time.

Jags - heard nothing about my windscreen yet.

Interestingly I had renewal notices from Competition Car Insurance and Richard Egger Insurance since they have parted company. Tempted to renew with Richard as he originally got my premium down by sponsoring me even though his is not the cheapest renewal.

moleman · 20th February 2008, 09:19 AM

Have you got a number for Richard Egger mate?

Is he insuring modified Skylines?

I would be tempted to use him too.

Fuggles · 20th February 2008, 09:36 AM

you have PM

moleman · 20th February 2008, 09:48 AM

Received John, Thanks.

You also have PM about an entirely unrelated matter.

Snowfiend · 20th February 2008, 01:20 PM

Hmmmmm.....not looking good then ! Can you let me know how you get on when you speak to them Iain please mate ?

What other decent companies will insure modified Skylines for trackdays ? We're all going to be stuffed for Spa/Ring and this Bugatti Circuit trips otherwise

Suzy managed to insure her car with Egger Lawson yesterday for Brands Hatch.

I am still be covered using their competition cover as I am doing Time Attack.
Cover is limited road miles - fully comp cover and on-track for trackdays and whilst competing - third party cover. Considering fully comp for time attack as the final timed runs of the day look like they may be a bit hectic for club class this year
