After being shocked at how much GTO insurance had appeared to go up since I had my last one two and a half years ago (bearing in mind Im 30 now!) Osbournes came up trumps with a fantastic £695 Premium full comp with £350Excess. Im 30, full no claims, car has cat 1 and is garaged in Colchester, Essex and does 10k miles a year. :lol: 
I have just taken insurance out with this company. They were the cheapest by miles.

Is this another company that won’t touch under 30s, or is it worth me trying them? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are correct this company is for mature drives not young whipper snappers like you.
Dave
I still found AON to be cheaper then Osbournes

I personally would not want to be young again as being young is the only perk of being young.
I have a much better quality of life now i’m an old duffer.

CHEERS BOYS!!! I was thinking 30 isnt that old still and now I feel positively ancient!!
I still have my hair, teeth muscles and a 24 year old bird! surely 30 isnt past it??!! ha ha :evil:
Dave how much did they quote u? Details? It went up to £740 to protect it but I still think this is good.
Just sorted my insurance with Osbourne’s
£450 including NCD Protection.
I hope they’re more polite and professional with their customers than they were with me after I applied for a quote. I got the following one line email;
Nothing more, nothing less.

They’ve obviously seen your mods Steve :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously though, that does surprise me, I’ve recommended Osbournes to several people, including Dave, and nearly all of those have taken policies with this company - due to various factors - mostly cost I would imagine…
As I’m in the Jap Import Sales business we always suggest Osbournes to all our customers and even have a ‘deal’ with them for our customers.
If anyone calls them for a quote, mention they were recommended by Steve at “Brookfields (UK) Limited” and see what they can do for you.
Good Luck Guys (& Gals)

Itried aswell and got the same response i wonder if a few more of us under 30’s tried they might change there mind seeing theres a nice gap in the market for them on the form i filled in it didnt ask about modifications either which is a bit of a concern as they surely would say you never informed us of them so no money if you had a crash !

I’ve got to speak to Osbournes (for one of my customers) tomorrow. I’ll try to find out why their not interested in Insuring you ‘young uns’.
I’ve also come across a brokerage (who gave an even better quote than Osbournes to one of my customers) who specialize in Presitige, Sports & Jap Imports.

I haven’t (personally) had dealings with these though - but may be worth a call.

I’ve just bought my first 3000gt (1996 UK model)and shopped around for insuance first…
Afetr a couple of £1600+ quotes, ESURE came up with £653… However, I shopped on…
The A.A. (insurers of my previous vehicle with Grouparma)) initially quoted around £1600, but when I mentioned the ESURE quote, they immediately dropped their price to £600!!! Unfortunately, they insisted on the car being garaged.
I settled on Chaucer (through Churchill) at £636.
Excess (accident/theft) £500.
I am mid 40’s full no claims with a current SP30. The car doesn’t need to be garaged, but requires a Cat 1 Thatcham.
My advice to anyone is to shop around
Just had a quote from these, £434 fully comp with one year ncd 5000miles and business use, I thought that was quite good even though I am an old bu**er.
