Prices up your way are much cheaper shep..

Down south car the close to London you get the more expensive it is. Again that is dependant on lots of factors such as age job etc.

I've never paid more than £200 since I turned 25 (6 years ago) i've always had them on classic since then :thumleft: I even managed to duplicate my NCB by accident, I asked classicline to store my NCB for me, i then used it on another car, classic line and my other company sent me copies of it. some companies take your NCB some don't. car is kept in a garage and is in an area that's not had a police car in it in about 25 years :D

That's even cheaper than I am paying (£110) :shock: , do they hold your no claims ?

Adds so much more to the experience of having a weekend car, one major expense less...

You get the car back from the bodyshop yet ? , will skip over to your thread to see :wink:

I know, it's gone well above the original price now, he's also doing my wheels, the paint was 200 quid as well, then 300 for the spacers. It's well into the 3k mark now!!

Insurance renewal

Post by cosmos »

Renewal quote is £331 with classicline through A-0ne Insurance services Dorset, 3,000mls protected.
My question is would there be an advantage in dealing with them direct rather than through the broker of the old MR2 Drivers Club.
Any thoughts?
