Hi,

Can't drive my Esprit until Saturday. My insurance hasn't run out, it doesn't finish until the 7th May, but I've hit my annual mileage allowance, 4500 miles so I can't drive it. I'm with Footman James at the moment, so gave them a call and asked for some extra miles, not much 200 max, but I said I wasn't going to pay anymore premium. They said they couldn't do it, and if I wanted to, it would cost me

Here's two quotes from Shannons in Oz. Two different agreed values based on my (hopefully soon) potential purchases. If I was in Perth, it would have been more. Can get further discount if bundle home and contents with them and the contents policy would cover up to $10,000 of spare parts at house. Which over here would cover a set of Nikasil liners and the pistons.

Matey. If you paid up for Club Esprit Membership you'd save even more as you get even bigger savings through Hagerty.

You could also save money on parts, servicing and loads of other stuff!

See Bibs for it. It's well worth it!

[Iain]

Well - from my side - I was a member and I'm just about to re-sub - just too many other things been going on - and Esprit way down the list...

My quote is based upon Club Lotus and LEF membership - dunno whether one, or the other, would have given same result.

Insurance starts 01 June - my membership will be up to date before then - promise!

Actually - I owe Bibs several beers now!

UPDATE: Payment made and form submitted

Is your car garaged these days? If not - that's a stunning price...

G'day All,

I think I may be removed from reality. Just got a quote to insure the 88 Turbo and the 12 month price and only 3rd Party fire and theft is nearly 500 pounds this being from the AA. Limited milage etc. I do not have a no claims bonus as I dont have a car in the UK up until now. And I'm over 25!!

I only want on road insurance for a week.

For example, my Discovery 3 fully comp in Brisbane costs 350 pounds a year!

I have a bit of time so will hunt around, but I also got a quote from a "classic car" insurance comapny and it was more.....gulp.

Any advice appreciated.

Forgot to say I have a full UK drivers Licence.

Cheers, Jerry

Jerry,

Are you in the UK at the moment? Are Shannons over there in the UK as they are about the best over here in Oz that I've found.

There's also heaps of different posts in here. http://www.lotusespritforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=1506
