Just wondered where you guys that have series V8's get your insurance from?

I keep getting plenty of quotes around £100 then as soon as i say its not standard- its a V8, they say its modified and the price shoots upto over £400

I insured my standard 109 with Sure-term. I was dissapointed that they put lots of clauses in the small print. It cannot be used to travel to work and had to have an engine immobiliser fitted, limited mileage and £150 with 30 years no claims. I think next year I will do a bit more shopping around.

Have you tried Adrian Flux? Both my aprents have modified Land Rovers/ Range Rovers and it hardly makes any difference in the premium. But then they are probably quite a bit older than you!

I'd jump at 400 quid for insurance. Trying to get a competitive quote on a v8 RRC SE AUTO VOGUE at the moment. 1240 is the best I've got so far

Sorry for the delay in replying you lot but here goes;

I am actually 40, the age does seem a benifit but the companies seem more bothered that "its an old land rover, and, why would you want to change the engine?"

I have tried Adrian Flux, but they were one of the dear ones!

Sure term sound worth a try....

I have got NFU Mutual coming back to me at the moment, they sound as though they will insure me as i have my td5 with them and business liability also, but yet to put a figure on it!!!

If they come back with something reiculous, i shall try sure term.

Thanks for the replies, Pete.

Lol

What they said was, they could offer a good discount due to me already having other policies with them. Just got my renewal from them this morning for the td5 dbl cab, £283.....
