What's the point in insuring it then? in an accident the insurance co will use the blower as an excuse not to pay out

| Post subject: | Supercharged 1275 and insurance? |
I started looking at my minis again last weekend after 5 years in storage and thinking what to do with the car I started to restore. I have brought most of the bits I need to supercharge the 1275 but before going any further was thinking will supercharging the mini make the insurance very expensive? The car will be on club plates, it was a 1969 deluxe, I'm 28 years old, and have a good driving record. Any thoughts from people with similar cars input would be great. |

Lindsay, you might want to add a location to your profile as insurance will vary a lot depending on where you are. CJ |

every insurance company is different so hard to tell, being over 25 helps tho and would make it a hell of a lot cheaper than being under, i think giving your company a ring is the best method as they might not want to cover it at all or charge a ridiculous premium which may require to shop around. |

I did list them when I transferred from Vigil years ago, but wonder if you need to. |
