Timmy511 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Im considering buy an ibex ive come across, my only problem wit its an early one and its on a Q plate. does this mean it constitutes as a kit car? how do i explain to the insurance company its essentially a landrover thats more off road biased? would i be better rining a kit car insurance firm? any advice would be much apreciated. cheers, Tim.

bobed90 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 i would give adrian flux a call they are pretty clued up with most landrover based vehicles, and they tend to be the cheapest. most insurance companies that deal with modified vehicles should know what one is anyway.

NFU have Ibex on the books as a listed vehicle, Q plate is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat_pending Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 "The most recent work carried out was an overhaul of the transmission with a replacement main shaft, 3 x propshaft U/Js, gaskets, seals, full sycro kit and a new three part clutch kit. It means that the transmission is a bit noisy at the moment, but this is just a case of bedding in." No, what it means is whoever did it, did a carp job.

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 but the aluminium construction means that there are no worries about corrosion and rust. He's obviously never seen the edge of seat boxes dissolve into a pile of white power... or he's been snorting too much white powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Kit car insurance is a great thing. I've got a couple of friends who have Caterhams and they get superbly cheap insurance. For example a Caterham R400 (just over 400 bhp/tonne, 200 bhp, 0-60 in under 4 seconds), garaged in London, £24k agreed value, 5k miles a year and under £500 a year full comp for a 24 year old with 2 years NCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy511 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Is it this one on fleabay?link thats the badger in question. as ugly as it is, and as horrible as those delorien style door are, for what i intend to do in my landrover it ticks all the boxes. itll mena alot less time an effort preparing the 90 i have now and a much better vehicle after ive done. i just hope the NFU will be reasonable with the insurance.

FridgeFreezer Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 how do i explain to the insurance company its essentially a landrover thats more off road biased? You don't - it's not. If they can't grasp the concept of an Ibex you're best off phoning one of the companies mentioned who does understand. You don't want to find some call centre muppet has put it down as a slightly modded 90 and you're then either under-insured or completely uninsured in the event of something bad happening. FWIW I'm with Adrian Flux, they'll insure just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I had used A Flux for many years and found them good for modified LR. The Front and Rear angles look really good and far better than any std LR. Interior looked OK in the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy511 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 well i rang John Foers, the man who made the ibex i would like to buy. he told me ring liverpoll victoria or the NFU and they will insure you, ok, ill do that i said. lv's response, im sorry i cant find its registration on my system, so we can quote you. NFU's response, im sorry, because of your age and because youve not done business with us befor, we wont insure you! WHAT the fudge is going on, its beyond a joke is this! kit car company next.
