I have just been quoted very happy indeed but not by the people who advertise it on the telly.
My insurance is up for renewal and the renewal invitation from my current provider came through a few days ago: £1078 for fully comp, declared mods, PNCD, 10K miles per annum. Did some shopping around (well, phoned about 8 companies) and couldn't get it much lower than £756. A few companies wouldn't even look at a JDM TT. Finally spoke to a broker, Academy Insurance Ltd, who were very helpful and courteous (got their number out of the back of EVO magazine). Rang me back and quoted £495 for exactly the same coverage as my (now) previous provider! That's a saving of £583!!!!!!! I checked three times with the chap on the phone that he wasn't quoting me for a UK-spec car and he assured me it was a quote for a JDM Fairlady Z32 (not Z31).
Mods declared were A'PEXi induction, chip & boost jets and s/s cat-back exhaust. Wife is named driver on policy and excess is a very reasonable £350. Car is a '90 JDM TT 2+2 and I'm 33 years of age with full NCB. Car is kept in locked garage over-night and mileage is limited to 10k per year.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking to renew their insurance to give these people a call:
Academy Insurance Ltd: 0800 652-3963 (car will be insured through Highway Lloyds).
They were good for my circumstances - I hope they are as good for other people as well.
