It cannot be stressed enough that it is essential to shop
around. I got two quotes ?100 apart -- these from the same
insurance company for the exact same vehicle but via two
different agents!

Get the Land Rover magazines and work your way through the
advertisements. Each will ask you what you have been quoted so
far and try to give you a lower quote.

Some will quote a large price because they simply do not like to
insure the type/age of the vehicle you drive.

Shop around!

I recollect a thread a few weeks ago on a similar subject.

To recount my experiences briefly I went through the same task about 6
months ago and received stupid quotes for my RRC 1991 3.9.

The cheapest i found was with the AA, £298 fully comp. Others were quoting
£4,5,600!!!!!

Insurance companies...I feel a rant coming on, but I will resist.

Hardtop vs Station Wagon will make a difference.  Hardtops may be classed as
commercial vehicles by some companies and hence will have a higher rating.

Firebond insured me for ?139.00 for the Ninety. That's fully comp, NCB
doesn't matter. As long as you don't have an attrocious driving record and
history of claims alls okay!!! They took into account all mods - suspension,
gaurds, spots, wheels, bull-bar etc. Much cheaper than any other quote I
had. They also gave an agreed vehicle value!

No connection other than as a very satisfied customer- over many years
he has always come up with the best quote. You should get some allowance
based on your driving record even though you may not have had  your own
policy.

ring the CIS  , coop insurance .

the rep will come to youre home, you can phone him and change details whenever
you like .
no hassle etc etc .

i dont think the coop are allowed to advertise theyre services .

i have not been able to find anyone cheaper .

its worth the cost of a phone call at least

The 197 was from CSMA (Civil Service Motoring a.s) Frizzells. It was for
TPFT.

Got fully comp from sureterm inc green laning, trailors etc for ?166

Why not?  There's nothing I've ever heard of the debars Land Rover drivers
from having a no-claims discount.  Have you got an NCD with another insurer
that you can transfer?  Of course, if you are insuring from scratch (no
previous record) it will be the same issue whatever car you try to insure.
If you want to insure a car as a second vehicle, all companies apply
different criteria - some charge more, some less.  As other people have
said, shop around.  If you're over 50, Saga are good for standard vehicles
(or so a very old friend of mine tells me).  ;-)  On a standard RR, they
beat all other quotes by a street (he said).  Not sure how keen they'd be on
a highly-modified challenge vehicle.  Another benefit is that they are
extremely nice and helpful over the telephone (he reckoned) and speak
clearly and slowly if necessary (he told me).

Firestone shaved over ?100 off my wifes Vitara insurance, and dropped my 110
1989 from ?160 to ?120, both fully comp and included previous NCB.

Also try CIS (co-op) they are very good, but use a local rep to set you up
(he comes to the door with your initial paperwork) so it can be a bit slow
to get going. They also will accept your NCB, plus give up to 65% discount
for new business

Also if ur Landy only does a low mileage, let them know, if U only do 506k
per year in it, tell them, it drops the premium.. My ?120 wuz using it as my
main vehicle.

But keep shopping, the big insurers don't quite know what to do with us odd
Landrover mob, so it's really worth digging into the smaller ones and the
specialists
