Well two years in and only a handful of insurers, shocking, how can someone with a supercharged or turbocharged Seven get insurance and a standard stock powered R1 engine I can't find anyone interested.
A-Plan can't insure?
Graham Sykes can't insure?
Thought with the amount of reverse trikes on the market, these companies (Who specialise in kit cars) might want business?
The problem is, most Kit Car insurers do not understand the questions they are asking, and the on-screen prompts are ridiculous?
"Is it modified"? Yes, it's hand built, it's a kit car? FFS
The other problem is that multiple listings of companies are the same ones.
The Bike Insurer
Bike Sure
All part of Adrian Flux Insurance.
The other issues are that when asked when your licence started, they take it from the last 10 years, so apparently I obtained my licence in 2000, wait a moment, I passed my test in 1989, she says it does not affect my insurance, but with insurance companies finding any bloody loophole to not pay out, you can see that this would be one area they would say you lied on..
All in all, I hate this time of year, hate trying to obtain insurance on a vehicle i barely touch 1000 miles in,
Insurance companies need to get on-board and start to help instead of the Can't be arsed attitude they have if the vehicle doesn't fall into the standard Cobra or Seven class........
Hopeful that the insurers I have rung this morning might actually want my business:
MSM Insurance 01279 870535 F/C £333.83 Terrible quote to say my first quote 2 years ago was £375
Crosby 0191 2130748 F/C £303.75 P/O £227.63
Frank Pickles 01943 850999 Can't quote because of my postcode? WTF are you serious?
