Alarm/immobiliser

[Silky 33 1 Cars]

I possibly need to install some sort of alarm or immobiliser to get my car insured with its modifications.

 

If this is the case, what is the easiest/simplest to install ?

 

The car spends its life in the garage when not in use so I am not overly fussed about some amazing alarm that is worth as much as the car itself.

 

Just want the simplest install possible

Silky,

 

Give Norton Insurance a call and get it on a classic policy. It's very cheap.

 

My 309 is with them and with all the mods declared it still didn't need an alarm or immobiliser.

Will give them a go

 

It's the roll cage putting most people off

 

Had a quote from HIC for all mods declared but they need some sort of alarm/immob on there

They just quoted me £1400 .............. ridiculous

I'm with hic with all mods declared inc mi, track INS tooand 3000 miles pa and it's £250? Probably age or something mate catching you out? If you have to have thatcham approved alarm it'll cost you more,at least £150 ish,if no cert needed and you just fit immob sure someone can fit one cheap for u,i'd do it as I used to fit them but difficult as in Florida!! Is car nearly done?

HIC quoted me £250 too with all mods/track etc etc but they wanted me to fit some sort of immobiliser or alarm to it

 

Car is going ok, hopefully finished all metal work by this weekend

The cage and everything is declared on mine and it's only ever been £180 at it's highest, my 205 was about the same price too.

 

Don't forget to limit the mileage too and ask specifically for the classic policy.

Something is up.

 

I've just run a quote on Heritage for the pair of us on the car, 2k miles, all mods declared, £330.

i just tried the online classic policey with mods declared and they couldnt quote me????

 

am i choosing the wrong policy?

[Silky 33 1 Cars]

That's what I was doing Pete and it came out at £1080 at best

 

We'll talk tomorrow Alex, £330 sounds good

I could'nt even get a quote for a standard car!

I'm with them on a classic policy - they said on line quote wouldn't work as not all there underwriters view 205 as a classic. Well worth giving them a call. Mine's £150 for a standard 1.9 - but i am well over twice the age of the car!

The last classic policy I had was actually with Firebond, who got bought out a couple of years back.

 

Was paying under £200 for a 309 Mi16 with all mods declared. Only thing I had to do was as said above, fit an immobiliser. Picked a local guy who did a nice Toad unit for £90 fitted.
