Steve Walton 128 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Hi, My insurance on the MK5 is due for renewal with Footman James. One of the stipulations is membership of a recognised car club. Now that the MK1 - MK5 club has folded I am looking for a suitable club. Any suggestions? Cheers Steve Edited July 25, 2020 by Steve Walton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 242 Posted July 25, 2020 Is there a local Classic Car Club you could become a member of? I'm surprised BSC doesn't tick the box, ok it's web based but in this day and age that seems to be the way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil. 96 Posted July 25, 2020 I'll email Footman James and find out what we need to do to be listed as one of their approved clubs 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beeper 60 Posted July 25, 2020 I was on another car forum and lots of us told F##kman James to go ###k themselves because of the price hikes they hit everybody with for no apparent reason. I would recommend RH classic insurance myself. Avoid Adrian F (stick another ucks on the end) also. They hit my credit card almost a full month before renewal and told me that I HAD to be insured even though the car was SORNED. Even if I, quote: dug a hole, put the car in it and covered in concrete I STILL NEED to be insured! :unquote. Also they stick all the little extras on that you don't want like home start, lost key cover, etc etc and then blame the computer!

Neil. 96 Posted July 25, 2020 I'll see if I can get some sort of club discount, just let me know which insurers your are interested in & I'll see what I can do. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(insurer is Zenith Marque) Policy is for the mk5 with mileage of 2000 per year, TD postcode, legal and breakdown cover included. £126.84 Not sure what you're paying for cover Steve but I think C. Nash is reasonable ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V6Ghia 33 Posted July 26, 2020 I have two mk4 2.0 Cortina’s and a 2.8 Granada all on separate 4000 mile policies at around £90 each. None ask if I am in a car club member any longer. I left the Cortina club around 3 years ago after being a member almost from the beginning due to various issues with the club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil. 96 Posted July 30, 2020 Heard back from Adrian Flux, nothing back from Footman James yet. It looks like we will be approved with Adrian Flux & it'll earn you between 5% - 15% discount when quoting Buysellcortina depending on the underwriter used. It'll also entitle you to free legal advice up to £100,000 Got to finalize things first though. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
