In typical 'leave it until the last minute' style, I got my insurance sorted today with Eggar Lawson. It seems that are only really three companies that offer build cover (EL, Footman James and MSM). MSM wouldn't quote because I wrote off an Elise in August 2000 and Footman James got really confused by the fact that my car would be used for racing, even though I was only asking for road cover. I gave up with them in the end.
EL quoted me ?150 for build cover and then ?397 for 3000 miles. You just pay the difference between the build cover cost and the full cost once you've finished. They gave me 3 years introductory no claims discount but would have given me 4 years if I hadn't had the accident in the Elise. I've got full no claims (protected) on my other car but you can only use it once of course.
