They had changed their insurer I think.
I then had difficulty getting NCB proof and all that and had to scrabble around for another company while having a busy time at work to say the least, all added up to a bad experience.
Best bit though was finding Hagerty who sorted the lot in 5 mins, maybe less over the phone. It took me longer to send the required pictures to them.
Ever since I've stayed with them finding most others are awkward due to the mods on the car. Hagerty understood all the terms and their effect and accepted the agreed value etc with zero fuss.
Interesting, especially as FJ are now the headline sponsors of the British Hillclimb Cup (Leaders championship as was) Cars like yours form the backbone of the production based classes. I guess they won't have much return in business terms unless they have changed their tune.

Hello J:
maybe they have, but at the time they were uncaring, unhelpful etc. despite many years of loyalty on my half.
Hagerty were the opposite, but haven't bothered to try FJ again. Plenty of fish in the Insurance Sea.

Any updates on these insurers.? Some typical costs would help this thread. My current insurers, Locton want £500 for 1500 miles on my ST build. Agreed value 125k. Any comparisons lads.
Mine is with RH and has been for a few years - shopped around at the beginning of this year and they were still very competitive. It's about £900 a year but thats' my early 911, 993, T25 Camper and Boxster
I went to FJ and Flux and then went to ClassicLine after reading about them on Porsche forums, and they were cheaper and offered free international breakdown, and paid £24 for an agreed value. They were also the most professional and friendly. I pay under £200 for any car I’ve had with them, including my ‘72.
