Can anyone provide recommendation on Insurers?
I've obtained a couple of insurance quotes pending the 'imminent' arrival of my new 2016 Aero both of which are just short of £1,250!! That's more than 3 x what I was paying for my 911 Targa 4's.
I'm 55+ (just), full no claims bonus, clean licence, no accident history, driving since I was 17, IAM member, car always kept in a fully alarmed garage, etc, etc .... and they want a tracker fitted as a compulsory requirement
Seems a bit OTT!
Any (helpful) suggestions welcomed

When i purchased my new plus 8, that is what i had to pay in the first year. Second year was £800 and subsequent years £350.
Guess they dont like new aero's.

As it happens Got and Wynne are one of the two quotes I have at £1,246...
They even asked me for my past driving experience and ownership of high performance vehicles... but that seems to have made little or no difference...

Guess they dont like new aero's. That's at least a glimmer of hope that the premiums will drop dramatically! Did they insist on a Tracker? My frustration about this insistence is that there was a point in time not so long ago when Police Scotland had very few/if any vehicles fitted with the necessary hardware to actually track a Tracker (inside info from my recently retired Traffic Cop brother). I've actually made a FOI-type request to them to provide me with details of how many cars are fitted with it, how many are on the road in a normal shift pattern and how many properly trained operatives are there.

I pay a similar amount on an any driver policy. The only exclusion this has is my 2 kids but surprisingly their mates can drive the car.
Give Headleys a try.

Thats with Boncaster and no tracker but limited to 4000 miles. They now do both the plus 8 and the aero 8 for £540 which i think is ok value.

You didn't say, or I missed it but have you asked your existing insurers? While their quote in the normal way of things could be high, they may mirror your no-claims and perhaps be competitive in year one.
The three wheeler started out with the same company who covered the 4/4, and I got a full no-claims bonus from the outset.

I had a similar shock when I enquired about insuring the 4/4 I've yet to buy, long and short of it, Aviva was the best and by a very long way. It's a new policy, but they will add it to my existing car with twelve years NCB for £65!!!!
