I meant to say, thanks for getting the ball rolling on this Al, I know that you have spent quite a bit of time on it.

Also just to emphasise, if anyone enquires with Andre make sure that you mention your membership of DeLorean Club UK.

Hi Mec,

It was £191 which was considerably cheaper than the alternative quote that I had . :thumbsup:

I am not sure on that one mate but what I will say is that they seem to be very accommodating so it will be worth asking the question.

I have also been in contact with Lancaster over the past couple of weeks and would reiterate Carl's comments that in Andre we have a good contact.

I have this morning taken out my insurance for the year with them for what I believe to be a very competitive premium.

As we all know, it's not just the price which is important and I am happy that I have got good cover which includes:

Fully comprehensive for me and named driver
Third party cover to drive other vehicles
U.K. Breakdown and homestart cover
Agreed value
Windscreen cover
90 days European motoring
Standard salvage retention on C&D, negotiable on B but not on A. (Pretty much industry standard)

With the caveats that yes, each case is obviously different and you don't really know how good an insurance is until you need to implement it, I would recommend this company based on my experience so far.

I would also add that this insurer is trying hard to get business from DeLorean Club UK members and I believe that increased volume may well reflect in even better premiums for our club members moving forwards.

Give them a try, you have nothing to lose!

Cheers


Oh, one other thing that I forgot to mention was that this also included 6000 miles per year.

Hi,

just thought I'd let you know that today I took out insurance with Lancaster. Andre has been very helpful. Admittedly the quote wasn't as low as I had thought despite a clean driving record for over 20 years, but since this is the first policy I've had in my own name this might have something to do with it, as well as a London post code! Despite this I decided to go with Lancaster due to the recommendations from this thread as well as the ease of dealing with Andre and this company over others I've called.

Cheers

Hi mate
Thanks for posting up, I am no expert on insurance but I think you will find a reduction once you have some no claims experience behind you.
