Damn reading this makes me feel old lol... I paid £310.20 last week for my DC5 modded and for my partner and I fully comp. I was not even paying that at 20 and 22 on my Silver R33 GTR V-Spec or my Lancia Integrale.
Insurance however has been a real eye opener this year. I have had an extensive list of highly desirable cars of which some have been highly tuned yet one company " Greenlight " were not interested and would not cover me and my partner on the DC5. The reason for this was a lack of experience on high performance cars, I explained my car history and can provide proof of all of them and explained that I decided to take a break from performance cars whilst other priorities took over my life. Prior ot the break of 4.5yrs my last two cars were a DC2 Type R (unblemished and stock) and a very highly tuned Midnight Purple R33 GTR V-Spec running an R34 Nur Spec II engine at 562whp (on low boost - 1bar), cant remember the fig on high as never really used it. The car was imported through Newera Imports and was a fully spec'd out car from Top Secret and Nismo in Japan with over 70K spent on it.
Yet their reply was we wont insure both of you on the DC5 due to a lack of recent experience on performance cars, hello the DC5 performance vs the Above which is only 1 of the many car's I/we have had?
Glad you got a quote and hope next year it's a fair and more realistic amount
