I was just reading about supercharged MX5s, trying to downplay the usual "what a great idea" that automatically comes to mind with the thought of "it's £3000 for something that you're not going to use that much and won't really add a lot of value to the car".
For a laugh I thought I'd check to see what the insurance would be on a TVR Chimera, or an S2000.
As I live in London, insurance for my MX is £500, despite being an old git.
Unsurprisingly, the S2000 came back with a quote of £1230. What amazed me was a quote for the TVR of £680.
Just where is the logic to that? Are Privilege assuming that the TVR would spend so much time in the garage that you'd never get a chance to crash it, and that the thief would never be able to nick it?
Has anyone else found this? Are TVR suddenly a more sensible option? After all, £600 a year would certainly help on the maintenance and fuel costs.
