    Can anyone give me a rough idea of what it will cost in insurance for a Mk3 convertible with a VR6 engine (MJ's cab. I am 31 and have 5-6 years no claims with no points on my license. Anyone that has any VW that is modified with a VR6 engine in could at least give me an idea of what I am looking at.
    Cheers ;)

    Depends where you live. If it's the Bronx, then I would expect it to be quite a bit more than if you lived on the Isle of Skye. :)

    I live in Bridlington, a very quiet coastal town in East Yorkshire. Pretty good for insurance in the past. [:s]

    So far I've been quoted 810 with my current insurer High Perormance, and 585 with Brentacre who seemed to really know their stuff.

    Insurance for a cab is high, I know this obviously I have one I mean I think mine is grp 16 or 17. And that is unmodified avantgarde. So that is as high, or nearly as high as a standard vr6.

    Drop in a massive Vr6 engine into a cab and insuring it seems either highly unlikely, or highly expensive. Getting a qoute on a standard vr6 is a bit poitnless.

    Sorry im im sounding melancoly, just a bit drunk.thats my 2p
