Did the GT exist pre 2002?
Anyone is online right now - Having problems getting an insurance quote from Adrian Flux - they're telling me that the GT was not introduced until 2002. I thought mine was a GT - I have a 51 Full UK car which I bought from the dealer as a GT i.e. with a hardtop. Result is that they can't find my car on the system to quote against... :confused: So they're quoting me as having an optional hardtop.
Anyone know what the deal is on this - I've noticed through running various quotes on insurance websites this last week, that whereas last year I had the option to select GT for a 51 plate, which lowered the insurance in some cases, this year I don't and I'm getting higher premium from some as a result. |
GT was introduced in 02.
Don't know why an S2000 with optional hardtop should be any different to a GT to insure. |
I have the same situation - in the end I just never mentioned the Hardtop. Probably not the cleverest thing to do, but at the time it seemed simpler.
|
I am the same, I don't use it so I don't mention it.
|
It does return cheaper quote though.

A 51 plate will span into 2002, mines a 52 but registered in 2003.
|
51 was in 2002 - up until March :)

With the mainsteam insurers, seems that if it's a 2001 then the GT's not listed, so you're stuck paying the rag-top price for essentially the same model (granted though it doesn't make a difference to all insurers). For me, Tesco's on an '02 GT gives = 999.60. on a 2001, no GT option = 1087.80. So you have to phone to try and explain, but then even if they concede, you've still lost the 10% online discount. Thankfully - Flux's can quote against an optional hard-top, so worth exploring for those of us with pre '02 "GT"s. They've just quoted me |
Unless your car says GT on the V5 its not one.
Just like fitting all the Mugen parts does not make a car a Mugen S2000 in the eyes of the insurance companys. |
:D
Mine says 'saloon' on the V5. It's a MY02 with optional HT. So who knows which way is up? And my broker is still cheaper than anything I've found online. :D |
