This is who I insured mine with last week. My 1st VX.

 

Think it was £330 inc 6 track days.

 

Found CCI customer service to be appalling

As long as you're over 30!  :rolleyes:

 

Every time I reach an age where I think i'm no longer considered " high risk" they make it another 5 years older!  :angry2:

You 'young 'uns' need to stop crashing :lol:

 

I'd rather be under 30 and pay a bit more for my insurance! :(

I just insured my first ever 220 with HT and had a chat to him about the cars in general.

 

They NEVER stopped taking on new 220. However due to the claims ratios against these cars going up they have put a cap on age, you must be at least 30 to take on a new policy with HT on a 220.

That's not what Matt told me when I spoke to him a couple of months ago.

Wow, you chaps seem to have quite high quotes recently, so I'm not looking forward to my own re-quote. :mellow:

All this talk of 'classic status' will do that to insurance premiums.

Spoke to them earlier. They can only insure you if its your second car.

My wife and I share an everyday car as we both work form home and I use the vx when that's not here and other times but as that's in her name it means my car is classed as my only car and they wouldn't insure me.

New one on me, that.

 

Very helpful guy though Matt.

Matts a great guy... Always looked after me with my exige, and always remembered me which was nice. Rather than please give me your 12 didget reference you get from most. Needless to say when I find another car I will be back with Ht.

I was really disappointed with CCI, I contacted them as they were recommended. I asked for a quote without track days so , I could compare the basic policy with others. They said they wouldn't insure me as I was not doing motorsport. So I asked to quote with track days, they did then quote me. I then found another car so I emailed the amended details, no response. I rang , got through to Footman James switch board. They will call you back they said, No call. I emailed again requesting a response. Finally got a new quote. After all this decided to go with HT.

Gave cci a call on the exige renewal last year... Spend 20 minutes of my life going over everything to find out its £500 more than hendersons. 5 minutes on the phone to Matt it was all sorted. Even beat my renewal price.

Guess the under 30's have me to thank for the insurance cap. :lol: Crazy how one claim can make them do this.

CCI do seem a bit random these days. Just received my renewal, £438 for the Evora 6k miles. Happy enough with that

That's interesting. I have 'given' my old Corsa to my daughter (still mine in name but she uses it) so effectively its my only car, however it still doesn't get used much use as I cycle everywhere, including to work and back. I am named on my wife's car so if I need a car I often drive that.

 

Wonder how that would be viewed?
