Just been getting quotes for my Alpina B10 V8 - best was Footman James at £575 fully comp with no mileage restriction & my wife included-we are both over 65!!
Does that sound about right?

It's hard to say for sure but it does sound a bit high to me, have you tried the on-line "compare-the-market type places?
I have tried moneysavingexpert.com and found them to be good. |

 Think about what you can do for the club, not what it can do for you... |

I tried a couple from BMWCC and Footman James were cheapest, but I'll give those "meerkats" a try!!!
It does seem a bit steep compared to my E39 540i which was less than £400.

I am not yet 65 (but getting there) and pay about £270 pa for our Alpina B10V8 with limited 3k miles for myself and wife.
We reduced this from a previous cost of £600 by putting on multi car policy from Admiral. (we now have the maximum of 5 cars on ours now, which has halved the cost previously paid for the cars as individual) |

Just renewed the insurance on my B10 V8 with Elephant been with them for some time now. Their number is 0800 0522168.
Premium is £285
 , Fully comp, max NCB, 5000 miles, £300 excess.
Slightly up on last year, but the motor insurance equivalent of ambulance chasers are putting everybodys premiums up

As we have 3 cars I got online to Admiral Multicar Insurance.
The B10 came out at £325
, thats with 10000 miles per annum, both me and my wife driving, down side is that the excesses come out at £450 . I could have reduced premium to under £300 by restricting annual mileage.My wifes Aygo came out at £150
, with annual mileage of 6000, both driving, thats £50 less than we pay at present, downside again is excesses come to £310.Our 3rd car is a Suzuki Vitara which has been modified for offroading, unfortunately they would not include this
 .As a result of going this route with Admiral Multicar we have saved £260 on the B10 (against Footman James quote-other quotes came out over £800) and £50 on the Aygo (agaist Toyota insurance)-not a bad result, I only wish we had done this years ago, could have saved a fortune
 .I would suggest any one with 2 or more cars get online to get a quote-if you run up agaist any problems their 0800 number is open till 11pm
