Houghton\'s Gold Star.

[Big Stu]

Just wanted to direct people into phoning Houghtons again. I got a superb Quote a few weeks ago and i think they have done 1 better this time.

Ok so you have to be 25 or over, and the car has to be 10 yrs old for the classic car policing.

BUT:

I got a quote on a 94 RX7 for £358, now im 26 with 6 yrs no claims which i guess is about average.

Today i phoned them to tak about mods. Since im looking at a car with some mods. So i ran through a list of bodykits, wheel, Spoiler, Exhaust,ECU, Induction Kits. Blah, Blah. I told them everything. They took the details to their underwriter and then called me back to quote:

£395.18 Fecking Brilliant Eh??

Also they have decided that for an extra £200 they will put my 24 yr old miss\'s on the insurance. So now she is over the moon.

Nice Work Houghtons!

got any contact details stu?

Hi mate,
             Thats about what my quote was at first, but they based that on the engine being a 2-3! (thier insistance) when i corrected them and told them my RX7  has a capacity of 2616cc and is a twin turbo Jap import they added on a another £340, Best make sure they are on the the ball with engine size as you dont want to be under-insured, but i would like to know if they have got it right,
Cheers Bob

I had a quote from Houghton too for my 93 R1 with loads of mods including a single turbo, all of the above criteria apply and it had to be garaged at night and was limited to, I think 4 or 5000 miles per year.  I\'m 29 and my quote was 458 quid fully comp!  I did e mail them back asking if they were sure all the details were correct.... and they were!  Makes modifying a car affordable:)

Mark.

Thank you Houghton, I\'ll be taking the policy out once I\'m back on the road.

[Andyp]

thanks dude, I went with tesco in the end as it runs out tonight and was happy with them.. be cool if we could get a number for houtons thou, couldn\'t find them on the net at all

[mrfitz]

Need to change my avatar now the spirit has gone!

[mrfitz]

Number for Houghtons is:  01582867763

[WeasleRx7]

I\'ve just been quoted by tesco, but they say I need a tracker.  Has anyone here got one fitted?  What are the costs involved with that?

[Matt.Wild]

A tracker will set you back about £300 for it with £100 subsciption for about £100 a year or £500-600 for a life time sub with the tracker included...

[WeasleRx7]

Yeah I looked at the trackers and decided that my premiums were high enough, without an extra £400 on top.

Gonna go with Aon now, was gonna be Houghtons but Aon said they would match the quote (minus a few pounds) plus unlimited mileage and a much lower xs at £250, rather than £750. Only a Cat 2 needed.  Â£819 all in.  Cheaper than the Fiat 20v Turbo last year!

Both Aon and Houghtons worth a recommendation here.

high 5 houghton\'s :wave

i\'ve been keeping a close eye on this part of the forum, in the hope that i could cut corners on the laborious task of finding the right insurance quote...

i saw houghton recommended by a few forum members recently so tried them first. spoke to a guy called robert jackson - good bloke, very helpful - and got a quote for classic insurance...

300 quid fully comp with 250 excess, limited to 5000 miles:eek:  

tempted to end the search right there..
unless anyone reckons i\'ll find cheaper?

gord:D

[WeasleRx7]

I would call Aon for a quote too, as I said before Houghtons were my cheapest quote until Aon matched it, and then knocked a few quid off.  Plus they up\'d the mileage from 7500 to unlimited, and lowered the xs from 750 to 250!

Aon 01384 552825

Tell them your a MRC member

[flectron]

cheers for the tip, mate. i\'ll try them tomorrow.

tbh i\'d be happy if they only matched the premium and excess but upped the mileage

gord:D

[flectron]

just tried aon - they don\'t do 3s, just 7s & 8s. They don\'t do a classic policy either.

thanks for the tip tho.

gord:D
