Insurance: MK1 GTI - 1.9 Engine!!!

[gee]

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

he he Vix   , 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   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?  

[gee]

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
