Liverpool Victoria No RX7 Type R Please

[resampler]

Just been on the phone to LV, they will not insure RX-7 trype R, only a handful of models are now covered, unless you have previous insurance history with them!!!!! I am finding that a considerable amounbt of companies are changing there policies NOT to consider this lovely car....Any thoughts ?????

Cheers:eek:

Just dont say Type R as not a lot of companies are going to have specific model variations on the FD.

IMHO anyway.

It seems a few insurance companies are stopping insuring under 25's on Rex's

Hi Lee,

If I do that, will I still be covered or NOT ??

hi i had loads of problems getting insurance with lv but i insured mine as a rx7 92 turbo coupe engine size 2.354 with them (was jubious about the engine size till i done the online quote with tesco and all the rx7 s whether type r ,rb etc were down as 2.354 )

I thought 2.4 was for the 2nd Gen and the 3rd Gen was 2.6 - the difference was due to the change in caculation rather than engine size.

You should maybe check as lots of places don't seem to know the difference.

True afaik

yeah thats what i thought so i startede putting diffrent years in the online quote ie 92 95 98 etc and all came up 2.354 the way i see it is its not my fault if insurance companys dont understand the rotary engine (nudge nudge wink wink )

[davefrith]

Have fun trying to explain it :)

[tr8theshape]

Cool! good luck to ya.

ok im now insured as rx7 true/ turbo true /coupe true/2 door manual true/engine size 2.354 that what they told me who am i to say otherwise so true.
so there fore i see my self as legally insured

[davefrith]

As long as your happy mate

I am sure in this case it wouldn't really be a problem though :)

Why not just tell them its a 2.6cc, solves the problem

[ScuttleRX]

If there were a loads of different engines available in rx7s you'd understand the problem.

As 92+ engines are the same you wonder how theres so much confusion...:confused:

[gaz 7470]

the reason i cannot insure it as a 2.6 is they dont have any rx7 s on a 92 plate with a 2.6 engine only 2.354 the same on 93 and 94

[davefrith]

Well I am sure its fine, perhaps for your piece of mind you should see if any other owners on here are with LV are down as a 2.6, if they are then you know you need to have yours checked out

If all of their customers are down as 2354 then looks like its fine

I am with Tesco, their online system stated UK cars as 2354 on their online quote, when I rang the imports were 2.6

My LV covernote doesn't mention CC, it just says 'Mazda RX7 (import)' :confused:

[J4P RX]

I have found loads of insurance companys listing as 23xx. Some of them insist its the car just how it is on their system.

Insuring these is a nightmare...
