Spoke to Rob @ A-Plan, and he reckons that, although it's 7 weeks till my renewal date, he can get it to be around a grand. Thats with all the modifications, plus my speeding convictions, plus the wife added, with the two claims there has been this year on her car insurance (someone hit her car in Tesco's and left without leaving a note - it needed a new quarter, then the drunk/drugged pedestrian hitting it in glasgow at the end of may (i was driving that time - the car needed another rear quarter on the other side) - the pedestrian was charged with the damage caused but his case is still waiting to be heard). Also covers business use too.
To be honest, i was more expecting around the £800 mark - was i being unrealistic?
