I am posting this here so as everyone can help us out with this.
I've had a mail from the insurance broker regarding a club discount scheme and would appreciate your time in responding to these question that have been posed to us, as a club.
This is the mail:
We have underwriters willing to write a scheme, but to do so requires a detailed understanding of the club, its aims and the membership requirements. The following questions are designed to extract such information and so I would be grateful for your answers.
1. How many club members are there ?
2. How many vehicles are estimated to be in the Uk.
3. When was the club established, I can see that the membership fee is £ 15.00. Is this an annual fee and is there a common renewal date for all memberships?
4. What is the age range of members.
5. How would you describe a "typical" member in terms of " generalisations" ?. For example are you mostly "affluent", professionals with a genuine interest in the regular upkeep and maintenance of the vehicle.
6. Was the vehicle manufactured specifically for the Uk market
7. Is it a popular import from Japan. What proportions are Uk/Imports
8. What is the position on obtaining replacement parts ? Have for example Nissan a stocking policy of where there is a demand for 1 item then they will stock the item as standard.
9. Are delays experienced in getting parts.
10. Have you any relationship with Nissan in any way
11. Does the club allow "anyone" to join or is there an official responsible for new members.
12. Is there any possibility of members completing a questionnaire to determine the overall claims record of the typical member over the last 3 years.
13. Do people "progress" to this car
14. I can obtain certain technical information from the web site, but what reasons do you feel are relevant as to why Insurers should treat sx owners in a preferential way?
15. Is the vehicle regularly modified and what form do these modifications take ?
16. What comments are made to you about Insurance (good and bad), which we may need to take into account.
Please make time to do this asap, as I want to get going on this one and get it sorted, like yesterday. Mainly cos I'm fed up with the amount of mails I'm getting about it!
You may mail me directly if you wish.
Cheers all
