Worth a mention I think...

The last few years I have noticed some of the larger firms sticking their premiums up quite alot.

My Sergio is up for renewal now and the quote from Lancaster has jumped to £166.37...they bought it down to £156.37 which would have been the most I have ever paid for a panda by a long way.

Rang Peter James and the quote was £340..:eek: sorry Gavin I know they treat you well.

So, rang one from classic car weekly called Peter S Taylor...... £89.80.

Now the limitations are 3000mls and no breakdown cover...that's it. The car is not garaged.

So, happy days...worth a call if you need a quote.
 
Wow just shows it pays to ring round! :eek:

You must be a very dodgy character Kev - that's a huge quote from PJ compared to other people. Maybe Vern & I have struck lucky with our risk factors, but I could potentially add 10 Panda's to my policy for that - :idea:

Anyway glad you've found a decent quote somewhere.

The moral of the story to misquote Orwell, is that while all Panda insurance is equal, some is more equal than others. Well something like that anyway ;)
 
Both my Pandas are insured via Flux Direct.

5,000 mile, pre-agreed value and £178 fully comp' with £100 excess for the Fantasia with six years no claims and £186 for the 4x4 with zero no claims and £250 excess.

You lucky lucky people i pay nearly £800 for mine, 250 voluntary excess, and 350 compulsory. No breakdown. No nothing

So if anything ever happens i will never get any money for my car.

Glad you've got a good deal as well Brian. (y) I'll be knackered if Peter James hike the rates suddenly - too many cars on the policy now, yes I'm admitting I have too many cars :eek: Too many to use anyway, which may be slightly different to believing there is some sort of "normality threshold" for the number of cars.

In my defence I keep trying to sell one, fail miserably (by not really trying!), then get offered something I can't refuse (usually it needs rescuing). Was that a defence???!!! :)

Why so much??...is it your age?

Im 24 with 5 years no claims, no points and held my licence since i was 17 so 7 years now.
Iv shopped around was originally paying nearly £2000 for my insurance when i got the car, a lot of people wont insure me at all maybe because i live in Bury.

I have my Mk1 insured on a classic policy with Lynbrook Insurance, I'm 21 and it was £211 for the year, with an agreed valuation and 3000 miles per year. You do need to have another car for everyday use but its the only company I have found that will do classic policies for under 25s. I'm hoping I will be able to add my Sisley to the same policy also.

If I wanted a normal policy to use a Panda everyday I'd be looking at between £3-400.
