MCS Help with Insurance £££££

[SteveStella]

Hi everybody,
Thinking of getting myself a MCS but am a bit put off with the jump in insurance premiums. £600 for a MC and between £900 and £1500 for a MCS Any specialist insurers anyone can recommend. Would appreciate the help as there's a cherished MCS with my name written all over it!

I managed to get £394 for MCS with maximum noc-claims discount (age 45) with wife as 2nd driver (age 31) and my wife had a recent 3 points for speeding in her Mini Cooper...

Give them a go and let us know how you get on....oh and I think thy don't do the Works if you are thinking of this as an option (they said it was not on their list).

Hope this helps...

Have you tried MINI's own insurance, it can be very competitive in many cases.

Adrian Flux gave some good quotes on a well modified classic , 1400cc, 14" Wheels, BIg Bore , springs, brakes , deseamed etc etc. They offered good rates on a Mini Cooper with JC Upgrade too.

Try elephant.co.uk - I got a quote of £700 (10 month bonus accelerator) for an '04 MCS. I'm 26 with 2yrs NCD living in Cardiff (city centre)

personally i would check some the threads re insurance on here first. u only pay for what u get. quite a few insurers (cant recall all of them) dont pay out any more than on a standard MINI. so if u chilli then u arent covered. check the small print. i know BMW/MINI insurance is more expensive, but it inspires confidence... thats the way i went.
