Standard Cars?

[Mrbarry]

So you call for an insurance quote and they ask if its a 2 or 4 door. Erm, no mate. They ask if its convertable, sort of. Is it modified? What??? Its mafe from old jam jars and a few bits of string. What is standard on a kit car. Sounds like a way out if you claim to me. Any thoughts.

A lot of "normal" insurance companies won't touch kit cars that's why most of us use specialist companies like A Plan, Adrian Flux etc

^ What he said. I would never even contemplate ringing Direct Line (et al) for a quote assuming that's what you've done. If a kit specialist is asking daft questions like "is it standard" then I'd try another; like you say, what on earth is the measure of "standard" !?

Im with Footman James. They are one of the specialist kit car companies. Still ask daft questions.

Time to try a different one.

Start with A-Plan, they will do a discount for club members

if you choose to join. They are very helpful, knowledgeable, and good value.

I pay £130 which includes breakdown insurance, with 30 days European cover.

Ring the Thatcham number & speak to (IIRC) Claire who deals with RH insurance.

Will give them a call next time thanks. I did join the club last year but membership expires December 31 not a rolling 12 months, so Id need to join twice for the insurance to be valid. Ill join in January anyway, Shane to join in the 10th month lol. Yes yes Im tight I know.

A-plan also ask if it is modified, think they all the specialists do now.
