Best and Ultimate Guide To Modified Car Insurance

Car modification is an area I have dabbled in myself and I must confess to finding great enjoyment in it. There will always be those who see anyone who modifies their car as a “Boy” or “Girl” racer. Of course, this may be the case for some, but others spend a huge amount of time and money on their beloved cars. The last thing on their mind would be driving dangerously and jeopardising the safety of their most precious item.

The modifying of your car can provide a welcomed focus and is certainly very enjoyable. There are many hobbies that appear superficially to follow a similar theme. Modifying a Pc and adding the latest parts, such as a new processor to increase performance is very similar to adding a new component to a car to increase speed and performance. Indeed, it can be said that to many of us, most things in life can come down to speed or performance in one way or another.

The topic that will never be far from this one is that of modified or performance car insurance. Of course if you modify and improve the performance of your car you will pay a higher premium price. Nevertheless, for some of us it can be a struggle to find a car insurance company even willing to insure a modified or performance car in the first place. Then you will have to consider paying an extortionate amount to cover your car, leaving most us a nervous wreck.

The problem lies mainly in the engine modification department. Changes to exterior fittings such as tailgate spoilers, new alloy wheels and body kit will make a noticeable difference in your premium, but at least this is an area most insurance companies are willing to cover. When it comes to engine modifications and cars with extremely powerful engines, a lot of them will not even enter into giving you a quote.

If you have added only exterior items or changed the in-car entertainment system then you can pretty much go ahead and search through quotes in the usual manner. You must remember to ring the car insurance company you have chosen after selecting the best quote for your car as standard. I would suggest picking several of the better value for money quotes, ensuring they give you the coverage your looking for (remember cheapest is not always best) and then ringing the company to continue the quote and give details of your modification. You should find most companies are pretty modification friendly as long as there only minor changes.

If you have modified you engine by way of a chip, induction kit or similar then things start to get a little trickier. This is also the case with having a generally high-powered performance engine. Many mainstream insurers will not insure a car with engine modifications or a high-powered car with a young driver. Here you will be best to follow the same procedure as above and seek quotes from specialist insurers. You may find the process a little slower but you will be rewarded with a more tailored and possibly cheaper policy.

Above all, you must remember to be honest to your insurer. Something as small as misinforming the insurer as to where you car will be kept overnight can be seen as fraud. Altering details to give yourself a cheaper policy, if not accurate, will ultimately result in voided insurance when the issuing company finds out.

The effect that the classic Volkswagen has had on Americans as well as many people worldwide is exceptional. Few other car models can match the status of the car in terms of its support among ordinary people. The Volkswagen is known as “people’s car” in German. Despite the many atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler, people all over the world should give him credit for making the production of Volkswagen possible. In the early 1930s, many German citizens were not able to afford buying cars let alone meeting their basic needs. Most vehicles were too expensive and were considered as luxuries.

Adolf Hitler wanted to be popular with the people of Germany and so intended to make a car that would be affordable to most Germans. Hitler’s decision to have the car made was not based purely on innovation principles. Instead, he wanted to establish himself as a political leader by gaining support from majority of Germans, mostly who could not afford to buy the expensive car models. To achieve this, in 1933, Hitler turned to an engineer, Ferdinand Porsche who was known for his vast experience and skills in engineering. Hitler summoned Porsche and ordered him to make a car that could be made available to ordinary citizens.

Hitler gave Porsche guidelines on what the car should look like. Some of those guidelines included the capacity of the vehicle. It had to be able to accommodate four people as well as have an engine that would be able to last long. The proposed car was also to be small and air-cooled and be available to the people at a low price. Initially, the cost of the proposed vehicle made Porsche reluctant to proceed with plans for making the car. However, because of constant pressure from Hitler, Porsche began the process of developing the soon to be Volkswagen.

Soon afterwards, Porsche was given resources needed for the production of the car by Hitler. Even though he was still reluctant, he went ahead with the plans of producing the first prototypes of the Volkswagen. Not known to many, Porsche had previously produced another car model that had similar features as the car Hitler wanted. However, the car was not mass-produced. Porsche visited America where he learnt about the techniques used for mass production of cars, at low production costs. He then returned to Germany and begun working on the prototype of the Volkswagen, based on previous model he had designed.

It took three years from the time Hitler approached Porsche, to the time the first prototypes of the Volkswagen were produced. After a series of road tests, the car was ready to be mass-produced and many people bought these cars. After the Second World War, the British took control of the factories and appointed an engineer who did modifications to the Volkswagen. The British enabled the car to be mass-produced and sold not only to Germans but also to the rest of Europe and eventually to the rest of the world. Ever since then, Volkswagen has been made available to millions of people worldwide and is considered as a classic car.
