Insurance - ballpark cost for 1 yr old LB garaged overnight?

[PostRoom]

I do hope to get to the LMC, will confirm once my schedule?s set. BTW, I went with the ?125K ballpark number in light of older lower spec cars for sale recently.

Alas, I regret that I can't escape to attend the LMC. ;-(

OK I'll throw my two penarth in, was ?489, now 610, an increase of 24.85% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so what I mean about post codes

Something I also just discovered this weekend about insurance...

I've been window shopping for a reasonably expensive sporty car and was using the online places to get indicative insurance quotes before deciding. I'd put the voluntary excess value at 500 (I usually just tick the box for 250 but thought I'd better go higher for this) and the lowest of the quotes I was getting were over 4k and some over 6k!! Until I sold it a couple of weeks ago I was paying around 350 for a Ferrari 360 Spider so was a bit gobsmacked and disappointed.

After a bit of googling I went back and changed the excess to 1k and low and behold, the quotes were all just under 500. Phew, happy days. I'd no idea that changing the excess played such a big part in the quote. Lesson learned.

Gulp!!

Are you sure it?s a Postcode you have and not a cell number?

Just had my Footman James renewal notice.............. it's gone up by 38%.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... It's just a bloody joke...

As I see it, the only sensible thing to do in that case is use the car 38% more

Just shows what amazing value the club subs are, though. I've been a member since 2016 and chairman for 5 years, and it's not gone up at all in that time....even though I'm probably at least 38% bigger than I was

....even though I'm probably at least 38% bigger than I was

Is that food inflation?

[Normb666]

Nah, I'm just a fat git

Apparently, it's the 'Norm' Phil.
Not just specialist cars.

@normb666 - just in the process of getting quotes one of the questions is whether I am a member of any club - does this forum count and is there a membership number with the subscription?
