OT: Any tips for cheap laid up insurance cover?
Hi folks, I am taking the 996 Turbo off the road for a while. I have tried Hagery, Flux and some shady online people called SORN insurance, and it is always iro £300..surely I can do it cheaper for a car that isnt going to turn a wheel!?
Any ways around it?

Surprised by Hagerty.
Just had a quote from them for my 73 hot rod, road use and layup for my Homda bike, £380 for both, agreed value etc.
Adrian Flux next for you?

i looked at it for my car and gave up - it was ridiculous!
my mate just uses his karmann ghia for a couple of months a year nad so just insures it for 12 months on a 1500mile policy - seems like the cheapest way (although for a 996 turbo I imagine even that sort of policy wouldn't be cheap)
I have heard of people putting laid up cars on the house insurance, but our existing house insurer didn't offer that and the cheapest one that did was more expsneive by a big amount (96 quid a year vs nearly 400) so it was cheaper just to have a (very) limited mile car insurance policy so I did that in the end

Sounds like things have changed then as I paid about £80 for a years off road cover, theft, fire and accidental damage. Was about 5 years ago now and I can't recall who it was with but would have been one of the usual bunch RH, Lancaster, Adrian Flux, Hagerty or something.

Had my project 911 with Manning. Premium goes up as sum insured goes up but I reckon for what I was paying a 996Turbo would be well less than £300.
