My insurance is up at the end of Feb. They want £226 TPFT on a D reg RRC V8
(real cost is £156, the rest is that legal cover rubbish they add on!). Is
this good or bad?. Which companies does everyone else use?. Will have a
ring round a few in the back of LRO tomorrow.

But you have to live somewhere rural. Wouldn't even quote for me
living (just) inside the M25.

My 1986RR is on a limited mileage (6000) fully comp. policy with
Firebond for approximately £300.

Not true, just checked with local office and they will insure right into
London, problem arises if you deal with an agent in a rural area or head
office. Local has dispensation to deal in M 25 otherwise his business would
be kaput.

Presume you mean "not necessarily true" rather than specificially
accusing me of lying?

My closest agent (Waltham Cross) refused to quote, at which point I
gave up.

If I were to accuse you of lying I would be up front and say so. I was
merely trying to help by stating that my agent explained the misconception
and i repeated it. take it as you will. Next time I'll keep my time and
efforts to those who appreciate it.
If you read your statement " you have to live somewhere rural" still not
true, a true interpretation of my lines would show that by implication I did
not refer to your agent/ office or his actions.
Have a good day !

Apology accepted.

Perhaps we can agree to summarise by saying that SOME NFU agents may
be unwilling or unable to offer insurance if you live in a
"non-rural" area though the definition of "non-rural" is unclear and
this "rule" may be applied differently by different agents.

Another misconception, no apology offered simply an explanation as to the
post so that it could be seen for what it was. Never mind luckily I don't
hold grudges ( very often ).
I think I'll concentrate elsewhere, hope you get the quote you deserve
)

NFU have to be the most inconsistent insurance company going. You get a
different story depending on who you speak to, it even varies between
different NFU offices never mind their agents.

The Thirsk office happily insure radically modified vehicles with roll
cages, winches etc.... some of them even on Q plates.

The Leeds office were happy to insure a space framed, coil sprung V8
Lightweight (comp safari/hill rally motor) for years. When the insurance
was changed over to a standard 2.5 diesel 110, no problem. Add a bolt on
roll cage to the 110 and 6 months after notifying them they withdrew the
insurance because "NFU don't insure vehicles with roll cages".
