Default Temporary Insurance required: Viewing a S2000 in England this WE

Dear guys,

I will fly from Glasgow to south England to view an S2000 that I liked. I've done all the checkings I could, and now comes the moment of truth: to see how it actually is!

If everything is OK (hopefully!), I will be driving it all the way up here.

Could you please advice me what kind of temporary insurance could I get in advance just in case that happens?

(As I will arrive there on Saturday, I guess that no insurance will be open during the WE, so I should plan it in advance)

Eager to join the gang!!

Thanks!

My friend used the Cuvva app to get insurance on my S2K when he drove it, seemed fairly painless

You can arrange temp insurance online. It can be tricky as you're trying to insure something that is not yours - no insurable interest - but there are companies that should help. Google will be your friend

Thank you very much guys!!!
I did as you suggested, and quoted online and phoned ADMIRAL. Comprehensive insurance, 250gbp of excess and no f***king “little box” for 888gbp/annually.

If I get the car, I just phone them and it’s done in minutes.

Thanks and sorry for my inexperience.

If its the blue one in this post don't buy it, they currently have it up for sale again. It's spun a bearing in the big end which will have been repaired. Best to avoid.
