Feedback from V8 members
> "I have been reading with interest the various updates regarding the new MG Car Club insurance scheme. My renewal quote from the broker I have been with since I bought my RV8 in 2004 was £318.71 for limited mileage cover (3,000 mile pa) but Peter James has insured it for £173.17. That's an attractive £145.54 or 45% lower. I note that I am not covered to drive any other member's car but I guess that is because of my old age".

"My experience of the new insurance scheme is excellent. Not only is the whole package better and the premium is less than others, Peter James were happy to insure our 22 year old son to drive my MGBGTV8 as well and yes there is an increase in the premium, but it's still reasonable".

> "The quote I received from Peter James was £123.69 which was £69.55 or 36% lower than compared with the premium of £193.24 I paid for the last renewal with my present insurer in April 2024".

> "I've been with the same broker since I purchased my RV8 in 2009 and with my renewal due at the end of the month the renewal quote plus their broker fee (£40) came to £261.50 so
I thought I would get an alternative quote from Peter James. Their word for word comparison package came at £164.35 - a saving of £97.15 or 36% lower so a no brainer really. Well done MG Car Club for negotiating this deal with Peter James".

MG Car Club Insurance Scheme
Insurance for our MGs can be an inconvenient purchase and we have all been guilty of not devoting as much attention as we should to understanding precisely what we are getting. The modern world of online comparison sites and anonymous call centres can sometimes mean it's challenging to understand what level of cover or value for your money you get with a motor insurance policy.

Thankfully, this has now changed for MG enthusiasts with a new insurance scheme launched by the MG Car Club. This scheme does away with trawling websites or talking to overseas call centres - instead the Club has worked with a market-leading specialist broker Peter James to design their own insurance scheme that offers a personal service delivered by people who know and understand MGs.

Peter James Insurance are specialists in classic car insurance. They can arrange cover for an extensive range of classic car marques and models, from veteran cars, vintage cars, and post-War cars to thoroughbred sports cars, classic cars like MGV8s, modified classic cars and modern classics. They offer individuals and collectors classic car insurance with a range of policy benefits to give you peace of mind, whether you are a classic car enthusiast with a single cherished vehicle or own an extensive car collection. Peter James doesn't operate a call centre, they are just fellow classic car enthusiasts at the end of the phone offering excellent service and they will always take the time to discuss your requirements.
