11946 annual car insurance advise please

We have over the last year taken a annual insurance for rental cars, and ths is a good saving against the hire companies insurance, however we are going to hire an Alfa Romeo spyder 1983 for a special occasion, but find that our usual annual ins does not cover this, ( we have asked and they have said this is not covered ) as the insurance is due for renewal soon, anyone know of a company that will extend an insurance or cover this for the week, without taking the hire companies huge insurance.

Thanks and regards Lin

You could try talking to [url=http://www.questor-insurance.co.uk/questor-insurance-car-hire/car-hire-insurance.aspx?AdvertiserID=100004]All you need to know about Car Hire Insurance from Questor Insurance[/url]

Their 'typical policy' has the clause;-

"14. The rental of "Expensive or Exotic" vehicles not considered to be a conventional and usual rental vehicle, and “Antique” vehicles, which are over 20 years old or which have not been manufactured for 10 years or more. Any vehicle with a Retail Purchase Price in excess of US$ 80,000 will not be insured unless specifically agreed by the underwriters (minimum of 4 working days) prior to rental."

This seems to provide a small chink of hope for you - depending on how they define the Spyder.

Otherwise, I'd suggest you talk to a specialist car insurance broker.
