USE at your own risk now Richard has left, no one will be able to help resolve the renewal problems
'Equity Red Star' policies designed primarily for '2nd car' but will quote for commuting after referral to underwriter.

Also additional discount (10%) to be had for car control course / driver training - need certificate to prove attendance though]. Track cover includes some EU circuits (Nurburgring) but doesn't include recovery costs and windscreen damage not covered on track. Won't mirror NCB from another car, but were happy to give me 4 year's worth "introductory bonus". Policies limited to 7000 miles. **17.02.14 - confirmed have to be over 40yo**
May 2012 - Just got a quote and it included 6 track days with the same conditions as above. As of 2012, Aviva (CCI's underwriter) are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it.

Will mirror NCB from other cars - no need to transfer your NCB to the vehicle insured with them. Check terms with Heritage. Spoke to on 11/1/2012 and refused to quote on Elise, saying they dont really deal with these any more. 25 Sept 2015 - Martin no longer there, struggle to insure newer cars, quoted £2k+ for V6 Exige (v's approx. £500 elsewhere)
|-

Seemed concerned about whether they would be able to cover a V6 Exige with value in excess of £40k.
Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months. 5-Oct-2017 - called for a quote on Exige V6 S Roadster and told that due to recent changes cannot insure Exiges anymore due to insurance group 92.
|-
| [http://www.hendersontaylor.co.uk/ Henderson Taylor insurance] || 0161 4377442 || (Matt) Mention SELOC for special rates || Yes || Trackdays included, mod friendly policies mostly underwritten by Aviva on very similar terms as CCI (also underwritten by Aviva). As of 22/11/11, mileage limited to 7500 (now 5000?) miles per annum for Lotus policies. As of 08/02/12 Matthew confirmed that unlimited policies are available. As of 2012, Aviva are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it though Matt is on the ball and will almost certainly ask you. (Tyrex) - I spoke to Henderson today (4/1/13) who confirmed that the maximum annual mileage for their policies was 6000. 17.02.14 - maximum mileage is now 4500pa! 7/7/17 - Maximum mileage is now 5,000pa.
Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months.

Discounts for driver training. Happy to quote for Lotus too, very friendly/helpful. Target profile is primarily second car or low mileage (5K) drivers, werent competitive (for me) on a 9K miles policy. Well worth a try if you fit their profile though. Offer multi-car policies and unlimited track days. Honda transplants will exceed their bhp mod limit.
Days with non-ATDO track day companies are not covered, however Lotus on Track have recently joined ATDO.
Need to be over age of 25 for a policy (confirmed as of 17/12/2015)
Can still potentially provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months.

[http://www.admiral.com/multi-car-insurance/ Multicar policies] are particularly good value if you have two or more cars to insure.

Won't mirror NCB from another car, but were happy to give me 4 year's worth "introductory bonus". Policies limited to 7000 miles. **17.02.14 - confirmed have to be over 40yo**
May 2012 - Just got a quote and it included 6 track days with the same conditions as above. As of 2012, Aviva (CCI's underwriter) are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it.

Will mirror NCB from other cars - no need to transfer your NCB to the vehicle insured with them. Check terms with Heritage. Spoke to on 11/1/2012 and refused to quote on Elise, saying they dont really deal with these any more. 25 Sept 2015 - Martin no longer there, struggle to insure newer cars, quoted £2k+ for V6 Exige (v's approx. £500 elsewhere)

Seemed concerned about whether they would be able to cover a V6 Exige with value in excess of £40k.
Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months.

Target profile is primarily second car or low mileage (5K) drivers, werent competitive (for me) on a 9K miles policy. Well worth a try if you fit their profile though.
