So if you have any insurance queries or if you're not sure about any element of our offering, please just ask - we're looking forward to 'talking' to you. For your free car insurance quote, call Chris Knotts on 0800 917 2274 (now also free for mobiles) quoting CODE: 204-XXX and find out how much you could save. Chris Knott = better quotes for you Of course, we have criteria set by the insurers we use so we won't be the best for everyone but if we can't help you it's not because WE don't want to. However, if you fit our scheme we'll work hard on your behalf to negotiate the best deal with insurers and that sometimes involves using an alternative quote as ammo to get them to budge. We only quote over the phone as we've found online forms are never as good as the human touch. When you call us we get a better feel for you as a risk and this results in a better quote for you - we currently sign up 2 in every 5 enquiries. Will the next one be you? Will you be saying what this happy customer said? "I switched to you guys this year and you saved me over £300 compared to my renewal! Let alone the other quotes I had got."

Hi, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Christmas and say "Thank you" to the members who have contacted us for a car insurance quote during 2019. You've helped us beat our annual enquiry target and so many enthusiasts have saved money under our car clubs scheme as a result - we're genuinely grateful! The year is not yet over and we'd love to quote you if you have car insurance that expires soon. QUOTELINE: 0800 917 2274 We are enabling staff to take a break over Christmas, so you can see our amended opening hours here - Chris Knott's 2019 Christmas Opening Hours. Thanks again and we look forward to serving you in 2020. best, Nick

Hi everyone, I have a pretty chill girlfriend, and she's planning on giving me £200 to spend on a project car. I am considering an E34 525i, as a friend at work is selling a rolling shell (no engine or gearbox) for £200. I've seen photos of the car, it's red, with pretty poor paint condition (rear quarter and spoiler are heavily faded), however I'm told the rest is in good condition, and drove well before the engine was pulled out due to excessive smoke. It has a cream cloth interior by the looks of it. Does anyone have any experience of these, and is there anything I should look out for when I see the car? I just wanted a bit of advice as to whether this would be a good project car? I have a small garage and minimal tools atm, but I plan on spending a couple of years fiddling and gathering tools I need. With the ultimate goal of sticking something like a manual coupled with a straight six out of an E46 328i, or an M62, and possibly going supercharged. Am I likely to bite off more than I can chew here, or is this something that is doable over a few years with a meagre budget? Any project advice would be appreciated! Cheers!

Hey guys! As a kid who loves to make YouTube videos, I plan to document all my journeys, mods and experiences with my GT86. I made this video while the car is still in stock form. Enjoy

Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I took the plunge and ordered my GT86, standard car with sat nav in pearlescent white. Whilst my kids were growing up I always had "practical" cars if you know what I mean. Well they are all grown up now so time for a bit of fun. Wish I could fast forward to 1st September. I suppose you can call me a rusty petrol head. Any suggestions as to what small (but essential) modifications I should attend to bearing in mind a limited budget? Mike
