Insurance

[ld50]

brentacre – vw specialists, been with them for years with all mods declared – they actually offered to give 5% discount to members when I spoke to them about it aaages ago…maybe that’s our first discount?

Insurance is a toughie on the Syncro – it’s got higher insurance grouping than a GTI if I recall correctly….

i found NFU gave me a good price, higher group than gti but they give discounts for 4wd

I’ve just talked to my insurance company (NFU) and they have declined to quote on a LHD Golf Country Chrom Edition[] Although a couple of years ago I asked them to insure an Overfinch 570Ti and they knew exactly what I was talking about and it cost the same as a standard Range Rover[]

Anyway I digress, I shall try Brentacre but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Adrian flux worth a try got a good price on mine from them

[wolfyvr6]

you cold try HIC they might be good,
I certainly got good prices on a VR Tubo in a mk2 with them! so a syncro shouldnt be an issue (i hope)

Just don’t think you’ll be insured somewhere like the Nurbugring on HIC insurance – lot of exclusions.

[toomanyprojects]

is the vr turbo going in the syncro? and have you had a quote on that beast?

Think you can get insurance that covers you on track days and the ring, probably 1 or 2 a year.

[Hungry_Horse_1955]

I’m not intending it to be used for track days. It is intended to replace my current Golf2 GL 4+E, which I use everyday, and add some of the versatility (and luxuries) of my Range Rover LSE.

However, I will use it at some of the shows and to play a bit in the mud! I’ve got a quote from HIC and notice that they have ‘additions’ for this, but think my mileage is a bit too high (25000mls / yr).

I just got my renewal notice @ 246 euros for third party + fire + theft for a year, with an agreed valuation of 4500 eu, but unfortunately it does not cover me on the Nurburgring! ho hum

a standard uk spec syncro is insurance group 13.

I have my Chrome Country on an agreed valuation with HIC. Costs me about £250 but I am an oldie!
