Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - MSCC "Approved Insurance" Peter James

MSCC now recommends Peter James Insurance with "exclusive benefits". They've dropped Headley, Gott etc as "partners"

Just got my quote from G&W. Pretty much the same as last year. £383.

Out of curiosity, rang Peter James: They came up with a fantastic quote of £683 for pretty much the same benefits/exclusions as G&W.

HaHaHa!

I've been a happy customer of G & W since 2018, but, with my renewal due shortly, I thought I'd give the newly appointed MSCC insurers a try for comparison purposes. To be honest I wasn't totally surprised by the outcome..........G & W £348-00, Peter James £501-00. I'll pass this on to MSCC for their records.

Jiohn - This is yet another occasion when I question why I am a member of MSCC

Have been with Gott and Wynne since 2016. Just over 5 years ago I had a major claim. Barry Wynne took personal control over ensuing negotiations with the insurer as the agreed value had been increased by a well known dealer earlier on the very day of the claim.

The full agreed insurance value, which reflected market value, was paid within 4 weeks.

Since then G&W have consistently offered very reasonable premiums and excellent service. Consequently they retain my business.

Finch came through with a great quote for me but ageus via my broker was even better (plus 4)

It seems reasonable to me to be upset that a marque cub that charges for membership wishes to restrict its members exposure to competitive rates. After all, it is presented as a benefit!

With G&W you're dealing with people who know Morgans .... check your small print .... most now demand that the car is secured when left even for a while ... ie hood up and doors locked when paying for petrol or stopping for a coffee ... annoying in a central-locking, power-hooded Beemer .... would be utterly tedious in a Mog (tell your insurer your car has no door or bonnet locks ... or maybe even no door-handles at all, with the only security being sliding back an un-locked bit of perspex 🙂) ... G&W square all that with their insurance supplier up front .... doubt many others go beyond the 'one size fits all' small print.

I assume you told them what they had to match? If so and you go to PJ the fun will start next year.

I rung PJ when my insurance was up for renewal but I refused to tell them what my GW quote was. They would only give me an estimate, it was 20% up on the GW price.

Cheers
John.

Ah, now I can help you there!

Should I stay, or should I go now?
Should I stay, or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay, it will be double

Spooky, or is there a mole somewhere? Too coincidental to get offered exactly the same price surely?

So, if you had accepted the day before, they would have made a killing. I find it difficult to deal with companies like that.
And…If the “Morgan world” is new to them, settling Morgan claims will certainly be even newer!
Note also, I am told that you are not covered if you park your car with the hood down (unlike G & W for instance.)

Reading all the above about insurance. I have used G&W since iI brought my MOG in 2002. As i was in the Royal Navy at the time, know one else would insure me due to parking on MOD grounds. Over the past year i Have had to make a couple of claims, due to people reversing into my MOG. The first was a Chelsea Tractor and the other a Ford Transit can. On both occasions my claims were dealt in a first class manner. I literally didn't have to do anything apart from phoning them up. I wouldn't go with anyone else. Recently i had to make a claim for my wife's Tintop when a Learner driver decided to change lanes, whilst i was still in it. The stress to both myself and wife was horrendous.
i do believe it helps when a member of the G&W team drives a MOG!

I’m staying with G&W… this year at least 😊

Good !, G&W have supported the MSCC and annual Mog events for many years and ended up binned in favour of a solus deal just so the club could get a golden handshake on top of the £100's of thousands sat in the bank anyway

Absolutely. I found this out first hand following a major claim. G&W were superlative.

Agreed. I was with an insurance broker for 16 years, we always told clients and prospects that the first consideration should be the ability and willingness of the insurance company to pay a claim.

Are these "Insurance Updates" adverts or articles? If the latter then surely it's the role of the editor (or his/her team) to check the facts and accuracy before publication!

Ian and everyone else above. G&W are first class. They may not be the cheapest but over the last 23 years i have had to make 3 claims, cars reversing into my MOG (One Transit van, 2 x Land Rovers!) . I have got to say it just taken one phone call and everything has been taken care of.
