Cookie24 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Morning all, I’m a new member and only joined on Thursday. After dreaming of owning a “7” for nearly 20 years the wife has paid a deposit at Toybox for my upcoming 50th ! On a beautiful looking Westfield!! We are due back down to pay the balance next week. however I would like some advice on insurance as I am a little concerned, I have tried a plan insurance thatcham after reading the forum but they refused to insure me based on having no previous experience with this type of car, obviously everyone was in the same boat at some point ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I think this is more common than it used to be. I got grilled by REIS when getting quotes for my Exige, but they accepted my previous “lightweight RWD” experience in the Westy. As for insurers, there’s AiB, Adrian Flux, Footman James to try. Most offer club discounts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvd8n Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I use Adrian Flux and there was no drama. However, wasn't there something about having to contact a specific a-plan office for westies? D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie24 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Thanks Kingster I will try Adrian Flux, toybox told me to try them to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie24 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Hopefully I will get sorted when I try some others on Monday, it kind of took the shine of the excitement when I got refused yesterday ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Yeah I was asked aswell in June and wasn't expecting it. I just rhymed off a few previous cars and all was good. Don't let it get to you, I'm sure you'll have it sorted soon 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She generally can sort things for pretty much anyone so mates tell me. I'm currently with AIB and have never been asked any awkward questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 @Howden Insurance - Specialist Vehicle So who is this then? Anyway, @Cookie24 needs your help guys! 🦸♀️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naranja_Al Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 @Cookie24 you could try Lancaster insurance to. I had to demonstrate my previous high power car driving experience to A-Plan (now Howdens) when I took out my policy last year. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
