bear in mind though that if you share your NCB a accident in the run about can ruin your supe NCB and cost you a fortune,

 

better idea to build up a seperate NCB if you can afford it, then even if you have an accident in the supe, you can put the supe on the other insurance and have higher no claims than you would have keepin it on the one with the claim, if that makes any sence,

The company that I have the Rover insured with have mirrored my NCD from the Supra policy, I just had to provide proof of it. Whatever happens to the Rover (ie accidents) doesn't affect the Supra policy. It was through a broker in Camberely. Erm. Sheltons 01276 34637.

 

Bot of advice though, if you're after a cheap run around, get a cheap run around- ie lowest tax grouping etc...

just a thought but if you mainly use the sh*tty runaround and dont do that many miles in the supra you could switch the supra policy onto the runaround so it would cost you almost nothing to insure and you could insure the sup on a limited mileage policy. its much cheaper to insure with limited mileage and usually a lot more leniant on mods, HIC are really good at this type of policy as the will give you an aggreed value for your car AND your mods (and they mirror your NCB!:) ) but it does restrict you on your mileage.

i used to insure my beetle this way when i was at uni it only cost me £200 quid a year fully comp and they didn't care what i did to it as long as i didn't take the engine power over 70 bhp (they are only 40 bhp stock but the only weigh 600 kilos:p ) as i said just a thought...
