I was with AON for 20 years (originally Bain Hogg) but this year i switched to MCE as they were £50 cheaper on my 56 Cadillac plus gave me wedding cover for free.
After i had paid MCE a company called RH came back to me another £50 cheaper. They advertise in Classic American, my 59 Oldsmobile was in their adverts for a while a couple of years ago.

I had the Cadillac insurance for £84 (F.Comp) with Headley but just wasn't convinced by their service.
It made me wonder what they'd be like if I actually needed to claim !

So, now I've got the Camaro at £224 a year, and the Caddy I'm insuring today for £140 . . . Both with Sureterm.

I personally DON'T rate Adrian Flux . . . but often they're the only way to go for young, first-time Yank owners.

yeah, Flux quouted me £660 in 1990 to insure my 68 Fleetwood, AON covered it for £90. Muppets!

Did you know if you buy a car on Ebay you can get 7 days insurance free!

Just ring them up for a quote, decline the offer, then take the 7 days free cover

Thats pretty handy

If it's Norwich Union I'd be amazed if it covered Yank motors . . .

It covers ALL cars sold, as its only 7 day they don't really need to know any details.

Motorama · February 21, 2007, 08:29:06 AM

you could do a lot of damage in 7 days LOL

F Body · February 21, 2007, 08:33:28 AM

There all a bunch of lying cheating toe rags, which is why I always make it my mission to find the cheapest

greham sykes have coverd me since day 1 with a yank (age 20) and always been very good. they significantly under cut adrian flux every time for me..

stang costs £360 comp and oldsmobile is £270 TPFT

they also mirror NCD if you have two yanks insured at the same time with them

VIPER · February 21, 2007, 02:35:29 PM

Got mine with Headley insurance services
APlan also cover yanks now....

EDGE · February 21, 2007, 07:34:40 PM

might be worth me calling sykes i guess now that im 25 :crying...a-lot: they wouldn't hear of it last year....

Although MCE are on a winner at the momnet of just over £350 FC for the Saleen with all modifications declared.

Rob · February 22, 2007, 02:55:56 AM

Played my insurer off against Aplan....as you do...and managed to knock 40% off my renewal on the T/A

CJ-IROCZ · February 22, 2007, 03:22:47 AM

Insured with MCE on the Camaro for £198 fully comp.

I've heard some bad stories about them but i've had no probs in the 2 years i've been with them. I even insured my R6 with them

Mustangus · February 22, 2007, 08:08:56 AM

Just in the process of re-newing with Footman James who seem ok, but I guess you never know until you have to claim....

EDGE · February 22, 2007, 09:49:49 AM

FOOTMAN JAMES WANT OVER £1900 !!!!!!!!!!

EDGE · February 22, 2007, 09:55:35 AM

what was the problem a while ago with MCE and NIG underwriters, details not being passed on etc ??? im sure there was some issue of some kind...

anyone ?

ianjpage · February 22, 2007, 10:09:05 AM

yeah indeed...........wasn;'t it on AVO??

EDGE · February 22, 2007, 10:14:14 AM

yeah, something about a corvette being written off....

hmm....

well, MCE have come up trumps so far with a best quote of £342 FC, agreed value, no claims protection, all the bells and whistles basically...

im sure the issue with NIG has been resolved by now. I think it was something like MCE didnt forward the info to NIG so the underwriters didnt recognise the policy or something....

ianjpage · February 22, 2007, 10:38:10 AM

yeah lets ope so!!
