Admiral are cheap, however they do not cover modifications in the event of a claim. ie, you only get the market value for a standard car and if repaired, it will be repaired back to standard condition. I went back to A Plan when I read the small print. £60 more with A Plan for a few thousand ££ of mods.
Admiral only allow 6 modifications too.

try sky^^^^^

pumped EVERYBODY, on my classic modded to 400bhp, every mod declared.

ended up costing around £280 more than my renewal quote whcih was for the same car standard and now fully comp instead of TPFT. protected no claims ect

breathe of fresh air in these times of ridiculous premiums. Ithink they get there head around most of us cherish oiur vehichles and dont drive them trying to end up hitting a tree or in a ditch.

and lol no i dont work for them, altho i am getting on a bit haha,

one thing i dont get is that 9 years is the maximum NCB you can have , ive had (fingers crossed) no claims in 14 years, but still the max any insurance company recognises is 9 years? why?

It is very hard to say, it varies from insurer to insurre.

I did try Sky but that came up at £742.00 I will say though, a very friendly company & I will try them again next year Although they were disbelieving that I'd declared all my mods.

Moley never replies. The only bad part of the service I guess but he does get the best prices & he's in popular demand so I'm guess he doesn't get time to reply.
With me I pm'd emailed and called for 2 weeks then on my last try he answered the phone and blow everyone else out the water.

The only trouble is you have to speak to Gary. All the others IMH are cr@p.
