Nobody has been allowed anywhere really for a couple of months Murray which is when the garage queens come out to play so maybe not representative as yet, wait till they get unleashed and I for one am hoping they will take the new customers out on a familiarisation drive as a minimum as it's been bad PR thus far.

I think a lot of the development was done either by BMW or by Morgan under their watchful eye - at least as far as I heard, the plus six and plus four were at BMW’s test location for over 6 months!!

I pay £560 for the Plus 8, based on an agreed value of £69,000 and 5000 miles a year, with me only as the driver.
A new Plus Six will be more, because of the value, a new Plus Four a bit less.

...unless you happen to be on your 2nd Plus Six - in which case they might want a little more next renewal innocent

That's logical Peter - but since when did insurance underwriters put logic above claims data as it emerges?

I suspect the new CX chassis cars will have a worse initial claims history than the Aero-chassis cars due to the subtly different ownership demographic - the "I always promised myself one of these" buyers who find they are unwittingly sitting in the most powerful thing they've ever driven, compared with (and I generalise) an Aero owner who probably has more powerful toys in the stable, or has done in the past.
