Looks like after much to-ing and fro-ing between the Aero & the classic Morgan, it looks like I've finally gone and bought myself an Aero 8! I'm like a child on Christmas eve at the moment!!

Has anyone got any suggestions for Aero 8 insurance? I've had a search on the forums and have contacted Gott & Wynne already, as well as my current insurers, however I've been told my age is going to be a problem for a lot of insurers frown Confused.com have quoted me £730 (with an excess of £900, ouch!) but a) the insurance company looks extremely dodgy and b) my partner will be on the insurance but he hasn't got any NCB so I think these quotes are wrong as they tend to assume you have NCB.

Can't wait to pick the car up laugh

Welcome to the family, the good news is the smile does not wear off. I used G&W after a number of quotes as I had the Aero as a second car and they were best. As my NCB was remaining on my daily ride (as was the good ladies) we did not have any NCB to place on the Aero.

I would recommend using a broker on the phone rather than a web site as these do not allow for flexiblity as they are scripted/formulaic. If you phone a good broker (A-Plan) and explain your NCB/Cars/Milage etc they can generally speak to the insurance company and get a better package for you.

The Internet is not always best (often)

Best wishes and watch for the wet leaves as the view out of the side window when moving forwards can be alarming.

What have you bought?

Hi Sarah

Well done. As Mr_Tony has not posted yet I'll nick his line "Pics please!!!" smile

It's taken you a while wink but great to have you on board.

And BTW as has been posted if either of you have an everyday car NCB is not an issue as it can/will be mirrored.

I'm with Headley, and I'd say they are great. Like all things check a few providers.

Congrats on new car - pics would be good(!)

Thanks everyone - I'll ring all your suggestions tomorrow morning.

I'm so excited to finally get one - it's only taken two years wink Me and the OH have been arguing over what to get and he's finally come around to my way of thinking!

Last week we managed to miss out on two which sold before I got to the dealerships, but third time lucky and all that smile

No pics as yet as the car is currently 250 miles away (!) but it's a Series 3 in Jaguar gun metal grey with red interior (and has the all-important side exhausts wink )

Has anyone ever tried MSM insurance on 01279-870535.

Very helpful and for a Group 20 Marcos Mantis, 6000 mile a year and valuation of £30k the price is £400. Might be worth a try.
