    Can anybody give me an idea regards insurance costs on a 260,especially a modified one i.e Accufab,after market exhaust. I am 46 and have full no claims and currently run a 2001 4.0 s type Jaguar so whatever it is I am sure it can't be much worse its just the modification side are there good deals to be had through the MGOC ?

    Thanks

    Mine was £400 this year with Elephant, that's with an aftermarket exhaust, but I only do about 5000 miles a year with it. I'd expect you'd be looking at no more than £600 - but it depends on your circumstances of course.
    Best bet is to shop around, also worth trying MGOC and Peter Best.

    Cheers

    Peter Best seems best for VFM especially unlimited mileage and any mods, would always recommend GAP insurance I pay £70 for 3 years to pay out 10K, also consider if you need it for business use, mine is best used when visiting old and new clients, always impressed!

    Mine is at Peter Best too. A word of advice if you call them is to ask if they've taken off the 20% loading that they usually apply to the 260. Once they know you're an owners' club member, and you've gone there on the recommendation of others on here, you should see the price drop nicely!

    Mind you, mine is still £650, 37, clean licence, full no claims, unlimited business use and mods (exhausts and TB) declared. Living in Epsom seems to load it a fair bit!
    You polish yours if you want to. I'll be driving mine!

    I was with Chris Knott was good for my ZT190 but found that Liverpool Victoria via their Website offered £520 with protected NCB for my 260 really pleased with the service.
