Need some help guys, trying to find someone to insure my MK1 for a reasonable price. It has a 1.9 engine so it might cause problems. Do I need to find someone who deals with mods? Do any of you modified MK1 owners know of anyone reasonable and cheap? ???

I have a '92 Sportline GTI cabriolet, that I pay ?250 FC, protected NCB, I'm 30 with 6 points for speeding.
It's insured through A-plan, but go to them with a half decent quote and they will try and beat it.
the tel no. is
01635874646

Or you could go to confused.com, they will go off and get you quotes for about 20 companies, not sure if there is opportunity to list your mods as it's internet based but when you get prices back you could always ring any of the cheaper companies to see what they can do for you. :)

i think ur going to struggle getting an online quote with that engine conversion to be honest. its not gonna b on any databases. :-\
i think your best of trying elephant or brentacre. there always seem to come up cheapest 95% of the time for gti's. be careful for the company that sounds cheap but then whacks on a load if your paying in instalments.
ads - 250 is a one off!! thats a scottish address u cheat ;) :D

he he Vix :D , I pinched confused.com off you, I tried them the other week and I reckon I can knock nearly ?100 off my insurance by them doing all the donkey work so thanks sweetie :)

the converstion is a big problem when getting insured.
i was going to buy a mk1 cab with a 16v engine in but couldnt get a decent one.
adrian flux are good for big mods.
-
Yeah, Adrain flux all the way.. My MK1 2.0 8v is cheaper to insure than my old MK2 standard 8v was!!
-
I haven't called APlan or Adrian Flux yet, but am hitting everyone else for now. The quotes I am getting are out of this world! One place said ?2k :o WTF!!!
Still calling around to get the best possible price.... had a clean licence and history up until last October. Now I have 3 points, 1 fault claim, and 1 non-fault claim thats still pending :'(
Anyone else know of some really good places for quotes? ???
-
Just to let you know I went throu HIC (Hertz Insurance Co) and got it for ?500 with 3 points, 2 accidents, and a modified car. Was the best quote by far so you guys might want to try it out at renewal time 8)

try the following companies
Brentacre insurance services run by Club GTI members - 01792 650933
Performance VW - 08700 714714

I ve got a mk1 Gti 1.9 too
Im insured with Adrian Flux with ALL mods declared:
Repray in yellow (used to be red)
Bored out to 1.9
Performance Cam
Performance air filter
Four branch manifold
Full supersprint stainless exhaust
Lowered
Uprated brakes
Non standard alloys
delocked boot
All plastic trim removed
Single headlight debadged grill with grill spoiler
Cat 2 immobiliser
21 years old four years no claims and clean license for ?545 which I thought was pretty good considering mods and age. no else has come close. None of the internet ones will touch me and I ve tried other places who quoted in excess of ?2000!!!!!
Closest other was HIC at ?700
Had to send photos and fill out a modified car report but they seem pretty good at adrian flux. Try them. If you can try and get an agreed value rather than market value because thats so vague.
