Talking Re: Build Insurance - UK

Hi Guys,
I can report back on my trials now.
Adrian Flux declined me cover.
If it is an old classic car being rebuilt, they require the original registration number. If it is a kit car, they require the registration number of the donor vehicle. Since my project is a new build without a donor vehicle, neither of those scenarios apply. Thus no cover.
I then spent much time trying other companies/brokers, with no success.
I investigated ' build up ' cover, but again they needed the registration number of the donor vehicle. I just couldnt find someone with ' the right box to tick '.
Finally i found a really helpful company and the bloke there , did some investigating on my behalf. Bingo, i got a policy to insure it as a ' Laid up ' vehicle, with the possibility of increasing the agreed value, as i build it.
If anyone out there is going or goes through the same dilemma. private message me and ill send you details of who to contact.
