INSURANCE For Modified TR's whos best/cheapest


Recommended Posts

To those of you who replied to my query on which tyres are best thanks very much info was pretty unanimous on Avons.

had to talk to Simon at TR Ent last week, he agreed with you guy's

 

TR coming on well, to extent thinking about getting it insured so i can get it mot'd

 

Just fell off my chair when Adrian Flux quoted £500+ AND only third party!!!! my Honda S2000 is less than that with 200+bhp

 

OK so its got a few mods like cam,head webbers, lsd,alloy panels,mini-lites etc,etc,could not see why girl was interested in the black leather bucket seats but each to his own

 

you guys must be in similar spec cars SO who do you use to cover your cars,i assume you have declared your mods of course !!!!

 

 

 

regards Adrian

Towergate for me ( But you have to speak with Sue or Denise ). No probs on insurance which is with 50% uplift included + two track days a year.

 

Try the TR Reg scheme as well, but Towergate did a stonking deal for me and with cover that I'm confident in.

Ive sent you a pm

I'm with Towergate too.

 

Stage two engine and some other stuff, can't remember exactly but about £220?

 

I did give the same info to 'the new people' but they seemed less flexible, can't remember the exact differences.

Ps, my Yacht is also insured with Towergate, shuld ask for a multi vehicle policy :-)

It will depend also on mileage limitation? agreed value. With high agreed value and limited mileage, my race TR6 is with Footman James. Highly modified and all fully declared by providing a full spec sheet.

I'm going to say footman James.

 

My stage rally prepared mini was insured through them with every mod declared, unlimited mileage and even commuting!!!

 

All for 110, valued at 15k

Strange how different people get treated differently, when it comes to road-race cars!

 

My VItesse had a 2.5 engine and I asked all three of the TSSC's 'preferred' brokers for a quote, declaring all the mods.

They all refused, Footman-James because it had no rear seat, another because I had removed the interior trim.

Pettifogging, wouldn't you say, whe they did not demurr at a full roll-over cage, a race seat and six point harness?

 

Towergate were much more matter-of-fact, and offered me fully comprehemsive cover for road use, limited mileage, no race cover of course, for less than £200.

One-off supercharger mod and routine suspension mods, roll cage. Market value. 2k miles pa. Towergate £115.

 

It may help that I've never made a claim since buying it in 1978 and being continuously insured with Towergate's predecessors almost since then.

Perhaps you should try Competition Car Insurance (CCI) they are now part of towergate but specialise in competition and modified cars and those used for track days.

 

Their rates have shot up recently but there are many alternative companies which specialise. Have a look on the SELOC forum, as insurance is just as big a thing if you own an exige or elise whith a 300bhp audi or honda conversion.

 

Usually comes with 5 or 6 trackdays as well.

 

Others are Henderson Taylor, REIS, Haggerty etc.

 

Hope this might help

Towergate- My highly modified 5 has 200 at the wheels fibreglass panels etc etc 25% uplift 3000 miles £168.

I tend to be circumspect about how I describe the engine mods listing the individual items rather than for arguments sake saying it has a full race engine.

Regards

John
