I am able to get me hands (possibly) lol on a GP.

Thing is I need to find a good insurance company for a cheap quote.

I have tried ecarinsurance (who were amazing for my cooper) but they would'nt quote me

has any one got any recommendations please?

Thanks

Have you tried Adrian Flux, always done me ok and you can modify!

Will_'S' · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:08 AM

Try www.egg.com they insure my GP fully comp for just shy of £800 i am 24 with full no claims and no convictions it was the best i could get by a long way.

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:12 AM

I have just tried adrian fluxx and am waiting for the e-mail back.

so desperate to find insurance, as i want a GP!

I will try egg now.... fingers crossed.

paulm3 · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:13 AM

or cheap online car insurance and home insurance quotes - elephant.co.uk
cheap as chips for me on all my cars esp my old M3, now paying 500£ for my mcs

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:22 AM

You May have to ring it's prob to do with your age if your not over 25 i think the next cheapest i had was tesco.

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:37 AM

Don't think going to get insurance for a GP I have tried, elephant, egg, ecarinsurance, and they all coming up at around 4k haha.

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:38 AM

I think you maybe right about the age, as a few insurance companys have said this

"We are unable to quote this group vehicle for your age if the value is over
£15,000"

Will_'S' · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:41 AM

Have you tried mini's own insurance they're pretty reasonable

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:52 AM

yeah I gave them a whirl last night, but said they wudnt insure me.

Think i need 2 wait a year or two.

Snowie · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:54 AM

I am with Direct line at circa £400, Adrian Flux and Mini were approx £50 more expensive.
Details
Age 50, Full no claims, also have another direct line policy in the family, no voluntary excess, no hire care required, no points (yet) no convictions

All done on line and I was surprised

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 08:57 AM

Thats quite good, I might try it with my dad as main driver and me as named. but I wanna get my own no claims, win lose situation

21 and a GP = Loads of money if you can find any one to take on the risk

The advantage of Direct line is that named drivers get their own no claims bonus. The dissadvantage is that if you are in charge of the vehicle and any claim is made then you loose it. This happened to son number 2 who had sons number 1 car when some toe rag did the door skin in to break into his Corsa and steel basically nothing. Also your dads no claims is at risk.

Good luck - I think you will need it, either that or a good bank roll

coded2112 · Mar 6th, 2007, 09:37 AM

At 21 Mull3t you are always gonna struggle, save your money get a cooper and have some fun!

I always remember what the great driver James Hunt said and that was he had more fun in an Austin A30 at 100% drifting around roundabouts at 30mph than in any other car!

Better to be able to drive the wheels off a slower car than never get close with something faster. Much more of a challenge and therefore so much more satisfying when you eat a faster car!

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 10:31 AM

I have got a cooper and I love it to bits, i think ill always have a mini for the rest of my life.

It just so happen that a dealer I went to had a GP, and I was interested how much it would be for the car & Insurance.

Like every one has said, 21, expensive car, more powerful is gonna be a big risk and I dont think anyone will take me on with a GP.

The dealer also offered me a 'S' if I wasnt able to get a good insurance on the GP.

Mull3t · Mar 6th, 2007, 11:25 AM

Adrian Flux just e-mailed me back, provisional price of £930.00.

but I gotta ring them, but If I remember last time I tried them for my cooper insurance as soon as I rang them it shot up 1k.
