  In 2000 I insured my racer for all this and on road too for about &163;130. Be careful with the small print on your policy and make sure they will give you the replacement value of the car rather than market value.
  
  Also do they have a full list of the modifications made to the car? It can be quite tricky insuring race cars, but there are specialist companies... e.g. Egger Lawson.
  
  Oh and BTW don't forget to insure your trailer too.

    and thats not with any on the road cover either.
    
    they are prepared for a rebuild value of &163;10,000 though.

      Thats cheaper than I thought it'd be...
      
      But I can vouch for the quality of cover from Egger Lawson - they really know their stuff and fight on your side.
      
      And they cover the rebuild costs - not market value. Which is always good...

        Eggar Lawson wouldn't insure mine as it's not garaged, they did however put me in touch with someone who would.
        
        Trailer, car, tools, helmet, overalls etc. are included and it's about &163;150 odd pounds a year.
        
        The only thing is I can't remember the company (and I've got their stickers on my car - doh!) but I do have contact details if anyone is interested I can dig them out.
        
        Cheers,

          Err, please dig them out and pass them to me.
          
          This is the sort of thing I am collecting....

            No problems.
            
            Bit of a f@*cked up hobby though, innit?
