I was originally with Hedleys and Hiscox who were the ‘approved’ MSCC insurer at the time of getting my first Morgan in 2014, stayed with them for a couple of years, no claims but changed to G&W to save about £50 at the time and on the recommendation of a few Morgan friends. Then I met and spoke to Barry Wynne who had his Plus 8 being looked after by Matty at Lifes Motors in Southport and I realised it would take something pretty drastic to prise me away from G&W as he was so passionate about his business and Morgans and Morgan owners.
I’ve never had to make a claim which is only when you find out how good an insurer/broker is but I know several Morgan owning friends who have and I’ve only heard positive experiences of dealing with the aftermath. In fact Barry rang me when I asked about a report I’d heard of a Morgan owner being left in a bit of a lurch after an accident to explain what happened and what improvements they’d made to make sure it didn’t happen again
Sadly a very good Morgan owning friend stuffed his Morgan on route to meet me a couple of weeks ago and he was on the phone to G&W when I went round to his house to console him after his accident. He said they were terrific and his Mog is now with Techniques awaiting repair
Being a business owner and looking after a fleet of vehicles I’ve had to deal with quite a few vehicle insurance claims and it can be a nightmare with some of these larger insurers
LV being the worst (probably why they were the cheapest at the time - lesson learnt) I will never ever ever go anywhere near LV again Which makes me very skeptical that anyone other than a specialist Morgan or classic car insurer will have the knowledge to make things less painful in the event of a claim
