I used these guys when I did my house up (insured a V plate 7.5tn tipper). Wouldn’t allow me to do 3rd party; but no one else I called could comprehend use of a HGV for private means. They were all trying to quote commercial. Anyhow, I think it was £650 for a year.

Have a look in the Horsey magazines as many of the pony brigade use 7.5t horse boxes privately.

NFU are worth a go as well

Trade insurance doesn’t that cover it, just an idea.

I pay 700 per year comprehensive and protected etc for any vehicle in my custody or control up to 7.5 ton whether registered to me r not…not lhd but anything else is fine so long as I don’t take more than 2 cars on a recovery truck. seems cheap enough to me.saves me trying to insure all the toys and campervans etc separately…part time trader,no premises,no employees.no need for public liability etc. plus cover for demonstration and tuition.

Forgetting to mention you’re 60 years old with 42 years no claims. :unamused: Paid 750 to insure my 1.2l car with 1 year no claims, 2 years of having licence, pass plus, class 1 and my Certificate of Professional Competence… 233 for the bike (a 125).

Insurance is truly ridiculous.
