how have most of you members got your 260's insured with classic policies and with who? as peter best insurance wouldnt give me a quote on one that was registered late in 2004 because it wasnt 10 years old?

Talk to Peter best again, as cars do not need to be 10 years old to be on Classic policy
my TF is not 10 and is on Classic with them :)
you are a MGCC or MGOC member?
:cool:

If you returned your questionairre to Tim and became a full member Dan you could read all the numerous posts about Peter Best Insurance and who to get in touch with yourself. Don't mean to be unhelpful but if this is your first post since joining in 8 months then it's about time you became a full member. :)

My ZT has been with PB insurance since it was 7 years old, so no issue there (my age was the only issue the first year)

I never seen the 'with luck' on the option list :)

That must be worth a premium

Just a little update. I have spoken to PBI after en=mailing Stephen Best. PB originally gave Dan a quote for a ZT-T 260. When He went to sort the quote out and give them the registration number hey came back and said the car was under 10 years old so could not do.

PBI rang me back this afternoon and apparently now it is because of Dan's age and the fact it is a V8. Anyone here who is under 30 with PB?

There seams to be a lack of consistency at their offices

The being under 30 was the issue I had the first year.

Dan it is also a benefit to belong to the Two-sixties/MGOC/MGCC as this assists with keeping your premium down. Just sent you the form to complete to become green. :)

I am starting to wonder Tim what PB are playing at. They refused to insure his father for the car: reason under 10 year old. Here is the best bit. the soon to be previous owner has it insured with PB.
I feel another email looming.....

If you have trouble with Peter Best try some of the other insurers. I have had very good quotes from DirectLine and Aviva in the past. I know ZT Pony is with NFU. I am a little over 30 now (no comments please) but my annual premium is £155. It pays to shop around and although there are a number of members who rate PB there are probably just as many who don't.

IAM Surety. I know it's preferential rates for IAM members but DirectLine quoted me £163 this year.

I was quoted £240 on a classic policy for mine but that's an agreed value, I'm 58. You guys who are getting cheaper insurance are they agreed value?

Re: Insurance..

I will NEVER go on any of the compare. com etc sights again.

Last year I had an alert from Experian Credit Expert...that I just had 10 searches on my CREDIT FILE ..all from those cheeky b*stards !!!!!!
Luckily it's a minor footprint..that anyone else can't see, BUT what bloody right have they got to do a credit search on you..after just filling a comparison sight enquiry form out !!!

AND when you go through to their individual sights..the quotes differ/ and stuff's missed off/ extras need adding.
And the cheap quotes came from companies that had really crap reviews !

I stuck with NFU. Nice, respectful, polite staff. Excellent service.The absolute reverse of the "Pete Best experience" ..( Pete "Worst" I found ) !!!

In my experience..They have very good/ fair payouts/ claims. This..is what matters at the end of the day !!
Save £100 on the premium...but end up losing £1000 on a claim !!!!

NOT the cheapest, but one of the very best. Always wins the Auto Express poll of all the car best insurance companies
You get what you pay for.

Harry

I have had many classic/ Agreed Value policies in the past. But..with certified valuations by marque experts/ specialists. NOT ..this "self cert" valuation stuff..which I am extremely dubious about. Also..you need a 2nd car/ everyday car. Also..car must be garaged..and in some cases ..the garage cases on your actual property !! AND ..you get no N.C.B. on the classic insurance.

After a lot of head banging today look like adrian flux has come up trumps, agreed to mirror his bonus onto the ZTT. PB it all depends who you speak to there I got a quote for the car this morning. Then asked what was the minimum age for named drivers to be told "25 sir" thought sorted I will add him as a named driver 20 mins later told no that wrong!

Please know the products you are selling please!!!
