Bought a personalised registration for my daughter for her 18th birthday.

Rang Insurers today to change it over.

This is a modification sir, there is a charge of £17:50.

(then tried to flog me breakdown cover that I already have )

I am really not looking forward to renewal in 8 months time

What next  .

Insurance companies, the one remaining institution which is more corrupt than the Mugabe regime.

Make sure you have a nice shiny new windscreen every year.

Mine was changed for free, must depend on company...

Just thought I'd share the latest insurance classic!

Moved from the S/C to the TDV8 and the premium has gone up by £130!

WTF!

When I queried it, the reason was that there are more claims on the TDV8 model than the S/C!
No , Sherlock, considering they make up the vast majority of RR sales in the UK, but why should me as an individual have to pay for a statistical piece of nonsense?  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

£450 however the cheeky charged me an extra because the wife had had a bump. no claim made on her insurance all other drivers fault but because it went through his insurance and is on the database thats £30 sir. Got my own back i have a spent fixed penalty 4 years ago but she gets charged on her insurance for it because i am a named driver but i dont!!!!! go figure that one. ers Mine was a blue one!
