dear Sir,

I am a subscriber to T911 and look forward every month to your magazine hitting my postbox. I am the lucky owner of a GT3 Touring, bought from new from my local OPC with what I am told was the least ever customer history. I had only ever bought a second-hand 997 GTS from them – anyway, I digress.

When I bought the car I simply added it to my current insurance at the list value. It’s now due for renewal. From looking online values seem to have increased. Are there insurers who deal with this unique situation, and if so can you put me in touch with one of them? In our experience Locktons seem to be the best prestige insurers in the UK, offering good value and complimentary track day cover for porsche club Gb-organised track days. classic Line are also a popular insurer among porsche enthusiasts, whom we believe offer a certain amount of track days per year with their cover.

car insurance has generally increased in the last year due to changes to the ogden rate, which is the way personal injury claims are calculated. the payout from the insurer is now higher, and these costs have been passed on to the customer via increased renewal fees. Modern cars also carry far more tech which, in the event of an accident, means the specialist costs to repair are higher. We hope this helps!
