Have you tried Peter James? - even for a youngster like you it may be worth a go (you can do it all on t'interweb). click here
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

nor is mine - as long as you declare everything, they gave me cover.

Nowt extra for the modifications, car kept on drive, unlimited miles, agreed value, full european breakdown and recovery, Cat 1 alarm (but not necessary for cover, just saved £3 on the premium!), 2 drivers, fully comp, £100 excess - 2 elans for £240 - but I'm an old git living in a semi-rural county.

I was with Adrian Flux who said they would give me a guaranteed value of £6000 on the insurance summary. I was honest and told them what I'd paid for the car on their valuation forms, but once I'd taken out the policy they wrote to me saying they would only guarantee the value at what I paid for it. :evil: I got the car at a really good price because the previous owner, who'd had it from new, wanted it to go to a good home. After much correspondence and phone calls they agreed a value of £6000 despite me later submitting a Club Lotus Valuation of £7250..
The next year I went with Footman James and no arguments at all. Competitive premium, unlimited mileage and guaranteed value of £7250. :D

See, Nick - always listen to people who know best :wink:

PS - if you'd waited 'til next week it may have been cheaper still - often is if you add 'spouse' to a policy.
