Got to love HIC insurance...

[re2500]

Just got a quote back from HIC insurance for the CQ that i have recently converted to ABY.

I am 24 with 3 points. (driving 6 years) No claims in the last 5 years, 2 years no claims bonus.

All quotes are fully comp, 10kmpa, living in rural wales, car garaged and fitted with immobiliser. Inc, Track day cover and covered to drive any other insured vehicle.

1990 Audi Coupe Quattro 2.3 NG (137bhp) With Suspension and Exhaust = £960
1990 Audi Coupe Quattro 2.2 ABY (230bhp) Conversion With Suspension and Exhaust = £850

1986 VW Golf GTI 1.8 16v KR (139bhp) = £920
1986 VW Golf GTI 2.0 16v 6A (165bhp) = £800 with exhaust

They must have the philosophy that if someone is prepared to do so much work on their car as to do an engine concversion then they must know the car well and love it and not end up smashing it up???

I get your point, insurance makes no sense. I could insure a Polo GT for £300 or a CL converted to a GT for £650....

That makes my £500 for the S2 agreed value, track cover etc. etc. look rather good

i ve got trade insurance, can drive anything up to £5k value in my posession
makes my quattro cheap to insure, plus the land rover, recovery truck and any other cars i seem to purchase from time to time, ebay has only made my buying habits worse!

Who is your trade insurance with? Is it fully comp? I have the S2, S3 80Q, Landrover, quads and drive loads of peoples cars in my posession any value, but i am looking to move the insurance...

I'm with Highway through Greenlight and they did their job superbly, the same can't be said for any other insurancey types I've dealt with over the last 8 months. The repair shop was also good and I'd happily go back there although they were a Skoda main dealer!
