Can't believe it's costing so much to insure when the max mileage is 5000 miles a year. Only problem Ive found though is that a lot of insurance underwriters won't insure her with the coilovers. Even debating putting her suspension back to standard, will see what these classic insurers are like then see what way we need to go. Deffo not paying stupid money for insurance on her that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Admiral Multi car. Shame to keep her hidden away for the sake of a couple o hundred quid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) They are coilovers as standard on the MBs,tell them they are just uprated gas shocks<which they are> =£10 Nothing special about them + cheeper than oem units to replace all 4 corners. A classic insurance company also told me the Mc2 are not of the Classic type as yet btw . Mileage wise its the same cost for me 5k or 14k PA get them to alter and compare on the phone for best results ect ps Putting the cat back and getting another MOT on the MC as the maybe buyer has had long enough to view. So another year to use it and get it mapped for a little better mpg, Edited October 19, 2017 by noodels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 My insurance will likely go up next year, nature of the game though with the way things are, have to suck it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame to keep her hidden away for the sake of a couple o hundred quid If it was just a couple of hundred quid mate id happily pay it, but im not paying almost £500 for a limited mileage policy as its just unreasonable. The typeR wasnt anywhere near that to insure and that was with 12000 miles a year. Insurance sucks big time! 14 hours ago, noodels said: They are coilovers as standard on the MBs,tell them they are just uprated gas shocks<which they are> =£10 Nothing special about them + cheeper than oem units to replace all 4 corners.
