Title: scorpio insurance
Post by rich1 on Oct 30^th, 2008, 3:59pm

sorry if this has been brought up before, my dad is a member of jag club and gets really cheap insurance, and i was wondering if there is something similar for scorpio owners??

never heard of it for Scorpio's, maybe the Granada clubs might have something?

I'm £160 TPFT for a 24v so I dont think I'd save a huge amount but I'm all for saving a pound or two

Rich1, you're a London cabbie then eh.....no wonder you call yourself 'Rich1' ;).... }{

I'm a licenced (Hackney carriage) Brentwood cabbie & use my Scorp as my cab 8)

Fully comp public liabilty insurance with protected no claims (never made or had a claim against me in 10 years of taxi insurance) costs me just under £800 which ain't bad for a taxi 'round these parts ;)

The wifes 2.3 Ultima estate costs just over £200 TPFT with me included as a second driver.....not bad seeing as I'm a cabbie ;)

....& my MK1 Granada (with the wife as a second driver & limited mileage of 1500K) cost me a total of £89.00 fully comp to insure last time around with Adrian Flux (classic insurance) :)

Some companies do classic insurance for cars that are only 15 years old. So it won't be too long before cheap classic insurance is available to many Scorpio owners :)

My payments have gone up to £43 per month fully comp in 2.9 12v Ultima Saloon. My renewal is 5th May, so it's a part year (again)!

I'm 25 with 7 years NCB.

I just got my clean licence back today, I had 7 SP30 points which were 4 1/2 years old, they'll still show up at next renewal as they want history for 5 years! >:(

Never mind! My first car when I was 17 was a 1988 Fiesta 1.1 Ghia, cost £1,100 TPFT annually.

Post by pinto on Nov 15^th, 2008, 8:36pm

My 2300 Ghia X scorp weighs in at £390 Fully comp with 4 years NCB and being 31.

Funny thing is i was getting quotes for my newest additon to the fleet (a Transit Tourneo of all things ::) ) i decided to get a quote from Direct Line on a 24V Ultima - i was shocked to discover i could drop that by £47 ! :o - and getting a quote from the same place for my 2300 was the same as what im already paying.....

Wonder how they worked that out ? ::)

Hi,

I'm 41 live in Plymouth in Devon and have a 24v Cosworth Estate. I have 10+ years protected no claims and pay £278. I always use confused.com the insurer I'm with this year is Norwich Union so not a small fly by night that disappears when you claim.

Regards Chris

Title: Re: scorpio insurance
Post by Highlander on Dec 26^th, 2008, 12:44pm

I used Norwich Union once, cheapest quote by miles, around £170 TPFT.. when the renewal came in they put it up to £350!!
I had no claims or changes in circumstances, when i called up to check it was because they offer a reduced first year discount!
Tried to double it hoping I wouldnt notice..
Now been with Churchill two years :)
