    Insurance

    This old nugget again. What have been peoples quotes been like this year? Just got mine through and am pretty disappointed that it's gone up so much considering 9 years no claims, I'm an old fart, low miles, off street parking under cover in a safe area. Gone up about £50 to £388 with Greenlight.

    TROPHY INSURANCE - ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

    Just wondered who could point me in the right direction for the best insurance deals on a Trophy at the moment. 35-year old, no track use, 12 years no claims so should get a half decent deal. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Specialist insurance brokers? :D
