And the hunt begins

Pete called today to inform me all went well with the Mot, so all that remains for me to do is sort out insurance and collect. :smiley: :smiley:

so:
Age: 25
5 years driving.
No accidents or offences.
91 GTO TT and all mods declared.

Footman James
uk & Eu Break down cover
Legal protection
Ā£400 excess

Ā£328.44 all in.

Not bad i thought? :wink:

I’m with FJ and they seem to be doing their best to give good sensible quotes to our members. Not a bad quote you’ve got considering your ā€œtender yearsā€.

Welcome to the mad house by the way----stunning looking car you’ve got yourself :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought it was a good quote to be fair to them.

I was quoted last year on a GTO n/a 91 @ £190 all in with no mods.

Im happy with it, going to give Peter james a call tomoz just to check them out too, but more than likely FM will be getting my business. :smiley:

Thats a really good quote anyway :slight_smile:

I use Aplan and they have come up tops with just about all the insurance quotes for me :

CALL them tho - online is not the best way :slight_smile:

Paul

I’m with Footman James too and they’ve been nothing but excellent for me.

What the hell…where do you live Gaz?
I have a NCB as long as my arm, drive an NA like she’s wrapped in cotton wool, and this year I’ll be able to get a bus pass, yet my premium with FJ is about Ā£460. What am I doing wrong I wonder :shock:

You must have unfeesably short arms then Mike :lol:

My FJ insurance is a classic car limited mileage policy, maybe that’s the difference. ALL 3000GT/GTO’s are classed as classic cars with FJ now as the very last was produced in 2001.

FJ insurance would not insure my car at all, I ended up going to Aplan.

Mines through footman james, with 9 years NCD protected, guaranteed valuation, limited mileage. cost me just under 700 quid and i thought that was quite good!! whats your secret???

well as stated:

25 yo
no convictions
no offences
no criminal record
no accidents
All mods declared
Car locked up on a private car par park behind a big gate
i live above my workplace so no commuting.
5yncb
Possible small discount due to being a GTOuk member?

which gets me:
uk and eu breakdown cover if im more than 1 mile from home.
Legal protection
Audio protection up to £300
Content protection
Fully comp
and a limited policy of 5k which is plenty for me.
and maybe i might get a discount for being a new customer to them too? maybe they hike it up on you over time, im not sure?

I did hear on the grape vine that peterjames and footman james are very eager to outdo each other too on classics so it is worth going back and forth between them!

Hope it helps!

Gaz

Cheers Gaz, though you didn’t say where you’re based, no worries though. Methinks I’m at the mercy of a postcode scandal. I have all the credentials to make insurance companies clamour for my business, but there you go.
Limited to 3000 per annum, Ben had a good look over the old gal two years ago and issued me a declared value, never crossed the line etc etc.
Maybe it’s something to do with the weather.

Mike

Im thinking the same Mike, the only difference i can see in our policies is the valuation side of things

Sorry , forgot to mention I’m in Wolverhampton west mids. :slight_smile:

The forms arrived today for an agreed evaluation. So il get that sorted and let you guys know of any change! :slight_smile:

Regards
Gaz

That’s a really good quote.

My renewal is due in 2 months and i’ll defenately will be ringing footman james as well!
