Recommendations: UK insurers

Afternoon all!

Hurtling towards insurance renewal time for my GTV TS and wondering if
anyone has any recommendations for insurers/brokers who aren't too happy to
rip you off on a group 17 car ;-)

Current insurer won't say how much to renew yet, only that it'll "... be
into 4 figures..." which was not the news I wanted to hear.

Best deal I've found online so far is just shy on £900 - hoping to take that
down considerably.

Thanks in advance,

John

Should have also said that I've had quite good quotes from Direct
Line. They use their own 1-100 grading and not the more common 1-20
grouping so you can strike lucky..sometimes.

experience of quotes from them <ROF>

If you are over 25, try liverpool victoria.

They go me the best deal on a Saab Turbo as a 35 year old with only 3
years driving experience. They were the best quote by at least a 1/3rd.

And they are very modification friendly if you want to tune later.
Anything except a capacity increase, or engine swap is either free to
note on the insurance, or minimal admin fee, even things like engine
remaps and hybrid turbos on forced induction cars, or adding turbos or
superchargers to NA cars.

try Chris Knott.
do a web search for chriss knott insurance.
as about special rates for AROC members - you will need to join Alfa romeo
owners club but if you're anything like me will
still save money..
