Can't get insurance for a 130 Tipper!

[Alban]

Hi all

 

I have been trawling the posts regarding insurance issues and have tried all the usual companies for a quote and thus far been declined every time.

 

I have tried:

Footman James

Adrian Flux

Sureterm

Peter Best

Post Office

CVD

Autonet

Swinton

Call Connection

Trust

A-plan

Sky

Lancaster

NFU and maybe a few others I've missed.

 

The landy in question is a 1984 110 v8 on the ownership doc, it was converted to a 130 for SEB from new by Special Vehicles. It is now a single cab tipper. Recently restored with a galvanised 130 chassis, winch, winch bumper, ss exhaust and a 3.5 litre mazda engine.

 

I've tried all the companies mentioned on here but all have declined for different reasons. Sometimes it is because of the engine or the winch and sometimes because it is a tipper. I never thought it would be so difficult!

Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm about to give up on the idea.

 

Thanks in advance!

He has CVD!

 

Surprised that none of the above will cover you, could be how your answering the questions so they end up fobbing you off?

 

Try having a look through insurance providers from something like a maxpower magazine that specialise in non standard cars??

Well if flux, sky and aplan won't insure you then there must be something up?

 

Flux insured me for a modified L200 and all three have insured me on a VERY modified nissan. Any other reason why they are declining?
